While I normally try to wait for the trade for minis, think I'll have to actually pick this up.
I know Kevin Nichols through a guy that knows a gal. Small world!

Carlo Pagulyan should be the regular artist on Uncanny X-Men. Nuff said.

I find it funny that they make no mention of the Agents of Atlas appearance in the Thunderbolts when Parker is set to take over next year.

It does look good and his art with the AoA vs New Avengers was any indication then this should be great.
I just hope Namora doesn't over power Colossus because he is in the 100 strength class, but almost every writer forget that.Storm, Mistress of the Elements, commands you to release that child!

Why is AOA finished with issue 11?
Story told?

That's cause it's given they'll pop in everything Parker writes. Originally Posted by CMBMOOL

Wow that X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas cover is awful, look at Namora: "I will strangle you Colossus, while I stare disinterestedly off at some random point in the distance."

Given how Namora gets mad props in Parker's stuff, I suspect that that isn't bad art but rather a deliberate dis of Collossus. Parker's Namora can indeed just strangle Col while looking bored.

Huh?
Is this an upcoming Agents' appearance you are talking about, or did I somehow happen to miss this one? Originally Posted by CMBMOOL
