Mike Carey talks X-Men

[frog]

At Newsarama.

Doesn't sound like Xavier will be using the office at the San Francisco base!

[darknessatnoon]

YAY!!!!

Mercedes is going to be a recurrent character!

[jarrod]

I hope her full name's Mercedes Steed.

The Newsarama interviewer needs a lesson in manners. I do not need to read about when you (laugh), nor do I want to read about "mad-on's."

I want to know more about Mystique, Mike Carey is such a tease.

[darknessatnoon]

I hope her full name's Mercedes Steed.

Her last name is obviously "Niles."

[ExodusCloak]

Her last name should be Bend.

So is she Tessa's sister, clone or crosstime doppelgänger?


Also, do we know yet if Raven killed Opal off panel? I need to be sure?

I'm hoping she's a trashy little sister.

Opal got chopped up. Her pieces were shipped off to Wasabi No-Ginger for a special red meat course he's serving at his restaurant.

Yeah, I definitely intend to keep bringing characters in. The goal is twofold really—the goal is to not have Professor X taking up his old role again and sort of working his way back into the X-Men and picking back up where he left off; but, at the same time, to allow him to be interactive with people he needs to clear the air with the most. Those are the majority of the guest-appearances; some of them you can pretty much guess who they are if you ask yourself the question, “Who does Xavier feel he still has unfinished business with?” and those are going to be the people we’re going to be seeing by and large.

I'll say it for Monty... SHORTPACK.


And I think he hinted towards an Xavier/Cain meeting towards the end of the interview...

Sage should obviously be on that list, but Carey is actively insulting me by leaving her out.

Those do seem to be popular with the HFC (Cordelia Frost, Regan Wyngarde, Elizabeth Gloriana Braddock).

Thank you.

Hey, Tessie Jo is terrible about callin' home to Xavier. Like say, during the Dark Phoenix Saga, or when Emma switched places with Storm...

I mean, what, do you expect Xavier to have a direct line to the freakin' Crystal Palace? :rolleyes:

Sage knows a lot more about Xavier's dirty laundry than you care to acknowledge.

[maigen]

I think I might like Mike Carey.


So he wants Sam Guthrie huh? And he's doing a huge Rogue arc. Oh boy...Southern Hotness alert!

Question: If Rogue absorbed Mystie-poo doesn't that mean she knows what's in Destiny's Diaries?

You used to sound just like drwho when discussing Legacy, Carey has every right to insult you. It's fans like you that ruin the Sage experience for fans like me. All these past plots in Legacy should definitely include Sage, if she wasn't being used as revenge against certain complainers.

You have really turned around on Legacy, though. I will have Hi-Fi send Mike Carey an E-mail on your behalf. We should get some "missing Sage pages" included in the Legacy TPB's.
