[Skaddix]

Lol Sentinels still suck. And worse then Nimrods too.

[Maestro]

Cyclops is a horrible diplomat. As soon as he speaks everything goes to hell

[mikeb]

Those sentinels look like 45 year old antiques!:redface:

Budget cuts. Its a tough economy.

[yanapryde]

I do loves me some good Pacheco art.
And I'm a huge fan of Sentinels so will be fun.
Really eager to find out what the mutant triggered incident is that brought Scott and Logan to this conference. Aaaand I gotta say: Odd choice, having Logan with, if they are to represent mutants and/or Utopia.

Unless of course Scott is hoping that Logan's Avenger status would somehow benefit them and their argument.

[Skaddix]

I assume scott is exploiting wolverine's cred still probably should have brought rao so they can show they like humans and their pr person.

[AcesX1X]

steve rogers is going to be so ticked off that these politicians sicced sentinels on government property. they are all going to get arrested.

[IN-A-SYNCH]

Budget cuts. Its a tough economy.


LMAO!!!!:biggrin:

[Skaddix]

Hmm I think its interesting that the sentinels are only targeting male mutants.
So I am guessing one did something and they just don't know what he looks like because really this is the x-men the females are by and large stronger.

[IN-A-SYNCH]

Since when are the Sentinels this easy to dismantle

[Brian M.]

This looks good. I'm sold already.

[yanapryde]

That batch of Sentinels is only targeting male mutants because...only male mutants are present...(?)

[IN-A-SYNCH]

Damn what did Quentin Quire do this time?

[AcesX1X]

did the president authorize this? if not, those guys are in serious trouble.

[Brian M.]

did the president authorize this? if not, those guys are in serious trouble.

Isn't this the same president who put Osborn in charge?

[AcesX1X]

Isn't this the same president who put Osborn in charge?

maybe, i don't know. all i know is that utopia is under protection of super-soldier steve rogers.

[Skaddix]

That batch of Sentinels is only targeting male mutants because...only male mutants are present...(?)

The order is target male mutants. So that is the suspect description. Which means a male mutant did something? Also i note they have a subdue not a kill order.

[Skaddix]

maybe, i don't know. all i know is that utopia is under protection of super-soldier steve rogers.

This is Post Fear Itself. So Steve might not be the boss anymore.

[Brian M.]

maybe, i don't know. all i know is that utopia is under protection of super-soldier steve rogers.

Well once again this is proof the Avengers and the world doesn't really give a damn about mutants. We wonder now why Cyclops does some of the things he does.

[AcesX1X]

humans keep proving magneto right.

[Brian M.]

Where does it say it's post Fear Itself?

[IN-A-SYNCH]

There is going to be a Avengers - X-men showdown maybe it is a result from this?

[IN-A-SYNCH]

Where does it say it's post Fear Itself?

I think Aaron was saying that in the X-position or the Schism thread couple weeks ago.

[Brian M.]

humans keep proving magneto right.

They don't even know about X-Force either. Look at how they treat mutants, how could it be any different if X-Force was public? Cyclops and Wolverine just went to go talk to the UN. Scott's not even 5 sentence's in and they send Sentinels after him...no wonder they wanna live on an island instead of the US.

[Brian M.]

I think Aaron was saying that in the X-position or the Schism thread couple weeks ago.

It makes sense, I was just curious were it was said.

[mikeb]

Since when are the Sentinels this easy to dismantle

I told you they were antiques!:redface:

[whozeduke]

Oh this does look good. Can't wait.

[AcesX1X]

yes, there goes all kate kildare's hard PR work -- right out the window. cyclops and wolverine have to be fed up with this kind of treatment by now.

[Brian M.]

I told you they were antiques!:redface:

Yea I'm ok with the UN have crappy Sentinels to send in.

[IN-A-SYNCH]

I remember Bobby said In Messiah Complex back to the good old days huh?

[Brian M.]

yes, there goes all kate kildare's hard PR work -- right out the window. cyclops and wolverine have to be fed up with this kind of treatment by now.

You think she gets demoted down to dealing with the New X-Men kids now?

[mikeb]

I remember Bobby said In Messiah Complex back to the good old days huh?

Everything old is new again...

[IN-A-SYNCH]

I told you they were antiques!:redface:

Bolivar Trask would have never went for this he would have upgraded damn shame.

[IN-A-SYNCH]

Honestly it is getting to a point where the X-men are running outta places to live, i think a Takeover should occur, or maybe the Summers Rebellion (I KNOW 80 YRS IN THE FUTURE, But still) is going down soon in the near future, because the Humans are getting ridiculous.

[Red Lotus]

That batch of Sentinels is only targeting male mutants because...only male mutants are present...(?)

It sounded like a male mutant caused whatever incident they are talking about.



Isn't this the same president who put Osborn in charge?

No. The first issue of Thunderbolts with Osborn in charge made it clear that he was appointed by the out going president and that they new President didn't trust him and questioned the power he now had.

[NickFury90]

So, Quintin Quire did...something, and now everybody is at the throat of mutants again, including old school sentinels.

[Slyfer]

*Gasp a X-Men event I might get giddy over ........ prays to the gods this kicks ass

[NielsVanEekelen]

I think Aaron was saying that in the X-position or the Schism thread couple weeks ago.

Plus Schism is supposed to take place entirely in the miniseries with the fallout bleeding out to the ongoings when it ends--that's after the Uncanny and New Mutants Fear Itself tie-ins.



I, too, agree that those Sentinels seem to go down a bit easy. if you bring them back, make them a serious threat.

[Skaddix]

Hmm problem is don't they have to suck more then the nimrods since the nimrods had future tech.

Still maybe them sucking is good. Do we really want them to be the main opponent for another event?

[darknessatnoon]

Maybe you can request their technical specs in the next X-Position.

[Skaddix]

Nah its a basic trope. The more of them there are, the easier they fall.

[AcesX1X]

i liked the sentinels that looked like x-men.

[darknessatnoon]

Nah its a basic trope. The more of them there are, the easier they fall.

That's not a trope.

[NickFury90]

That's not a trope.

Eh, its a robot version of the ninjas trope.

[darknessatnoon]

Eh, its a robot version of the ninjas trope.

Stop using the word "trope" for "random shit people have noticed."

[Prodigy55]

lol, i love classic sentinels. their cute purple watch caps are great.

[NickFury90]

Stop using the word "trope" for "random shit people have noticed."

Darkness appears to be a big fan of the Stupid Scientist trope.

[streator]

x-men & sentinels are always fun, although seeing these guys again is kind of another re-tread and just makes me think of how easily the x-men can defeat them (in my mind i reference cyclops in axm blowing them away, cyclops & wolverine taking down the sentinel in nxm). i miss the wild sentinels, i guess. they seemed like a cool transition & something that could have been fun down the line. did anyone other than cc in mekanix use them again?

I think CC may have used them in Genoshan X-Caliber. Maybe I'm wrong.

[ExodusCloak]

Damn what did Quentin Quire do this time?

I don't thinkt that's it...think the question is what did Wolverine do and is not telling Cyclops.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

I like the art thus far and am glad the Sentinels aren't formidable opponents anymore. Besides, the real enemies are within the X-Men.

[IN-A-SYNCH]

I don't thinkt that's it...think the question is what did Wolverine do and is not telling Cyclops.


Doubt it Why mention Quire in the first place its him.
He did something, you read the preview.

Cyke says they didn't do it, but they will apprehend the mutant and bring him to justice.

Wolverine has been saying "you know they are gonna blame us" bit for years.

[Brillow]

Wait so when does this happen?

[Imraith Nimphais]

Were they not loved and adored just recently for putting down Bastion and for all the good they were doing in and around SF? Now a few weeks later and everybody hates mutants...again.

Tiresome.

[devrim]

who says it's the goverment sending the sentinels. Maybe the purifiers are hitting back because some mutant killed their new leader and the only clue they have was that the mutant was male. That could explain the use of cheap old sentinels.
and maybe the real big threat is not the sentinels, but the threat of the public turning against the x-men again..... . I can see a schism forming between wolverine and cyclops about how to handle the public opinion. I just somehow don't see Wolverine going at Cyclops throat because Cyclops makes a tactical decision in a combat situation that Wolverine wouldn't make.

lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

[Herring]

Are these sentinels full size versions? They look a bit smaller than the ones in the old animated series.

They might be a reduced size version for going inside buildings - that would explain the unsatisfactory performance.

[Seresecros]

I can never make up my mind over if I should tolerate the gays or persecute them, so this is an apt metaphor.

Thank you so much. I just snorted soda up my nose to keep my keyboard safe.

[Brillow]

lol I'm sorry

[ManiacalWon]

The timeline thing in Avengers is happening pretty rapidly - The Worthy, Yesterday's X-Men, Schism, Wanda. We might have Steve's Vision, Ultron War, and Born to Burn (which is I suspect Hope related) coming up quick.

[KusaSan]

No one was waiting for Wolverine agaisnt Cyclops Marvel : Everyone was waiting for good story.

[Drew Mathieu]

The artwork looks amazing. Wolverine's costume has never looker better.

[jarrod]

That's Pacheco? Ugh, how the mighty have fallen...

[Pixie_Solanas]

That's Pacheco? Ugh, how the mighty have fallen...

My thoughts exactly, Jarrod. Simpatico!

That's some amazing stretching...

Also what is Born to Burn?

[jarrod]

My thoughts exactly, Jarrod. Simpatico!

It's so stiff, flat and boring. I'm sure Alan Davis leaves more dynamic gestures in his toilet.

[Starleafgirl]

The article says "you’ll be wondering if Cyclops has finally gone too far."

That ship has sailed, right around the time of establishing X-Force as a kill squad and Cyke's whole "child soldiers" idea.

[darknessatnoon]

He got that idea from Xavier.

I wonder what this grievous error will be, and more importantly, if Cyclops will face any consequences from it. Probably not, considering we've got years with him get very little flak for anything.

[Pixie_Solanas]

Xavier did his covert murder squads with so much more elan.

[jarrod]

The whole point of Uncanny X-Force is to absolve Scott of any responsibility. It automatically shifts any major potential consequences onto Logan and (if he survives) Warren. X-Frat United!

[Skaddix]

Which i suppose is good for internal x-men politics. But no one on the outside is going to believe Scott does not know.

[MartinRedmond]

Professor X dressed better than Scott.

Those Sentinels look way kewl.

This is a situation Storm would gain alot by specifying Storm's gender.

[We R. Venom]

Since when are the Sentinels this easy to dismantle

Since, oh I don't know. For-ev-er.

Are Cyke and Wolvie supposed to be at the UN? I wouldn't think any government would attack at the UN. It does seem if you were going to an arms talk you would want someone like Xavier, or Mr. Languages, Doug Ramsey.

Yeah I don't think its the UN. Yeah the pr lady and someone good at diplomacy. wolverine is there to flash his avengers card.

[jstar!!]

Nothing Cyclops or Wolverine related entices me very much. I've had enough Cyclops and Wolverine centric stories to last me nine lifetimes.

I am glad to see Pacheco and Davis doing art. Hopefully some of the people on the Cho covers are actually in the books.

[Daniel Mengsk]

Lol .

[JmH Reborn]

This Carlos Pacheco art makes me sad. I wish he can channel is 95' self

[Jota]

This Carlos Pacheco art makes me sad. I wish he can channel is 95' selfI agree with you and Jarrod. His art used to be much more dinamic and exciting! This stuff, whille not terrible, looks really boring, stiff and has no distinguishing features. It's a big disapointment.

[JmH Reborn]

I agree with you and Jarrod. His art used to be much more dinamic and exciting! This stuff, whille not terrible, looks really boring, stiff and has no distinguishing features. It's a big disapointment.

Yeah, his old style was very kinetic...like a hybrid of Joe Mad and Salvador Larroca. I use to love it. This though...so awkward and generic. He use to be a fav.

[BLACKWINGS]

Thank you!

What happened between the awesome work of "Operation Zero Tolerance" to the bland and boring work of today? To this day, that arc is still one of my favorites due in major part to Pacheco's art and LIQUID's colors - but now his work just seems so generic.

The uncanny similarity between Joe Mad and Sal Larroca's work is exactly why I once loved Pacheco's work so much - but now, not so much.

[ManiacalWon]

That's some amazing stretching...

Also what is Born to Burn?

Its on the Avengers timeline right after Ultron War...

[Phoenix Egg]

Well...um...this failed to excite.

Hope the next thing we hear about it is more...interesting.
