[Peter F.]

Love the art, but I can't even tell if Josh's skin is suppose to be gold

[Ziral]

Match is white! Where's Prodigy55?

[Washout]

Match is white! Where's Prodigy55?

This is terrible news.

[xhx23x]

Scans of this?!

[Ziral]

This is terrible news.

No, it's not. Match is a lame.

Man, this gentleman has been carrying the Cabbage Merchant torch higher than anyone for years, now portraying his descendant, Lau Gan-Lan, head of Cabbage Corp. We had to ask who the X-Men character was (answer: Mercury). She was scaring us the whole time she was in line.

[Washout]

If Mercury had a personality, she'd be a great character.

[Personamanx]

Hah, yeah. Saw that.

[Songbird/Diamondback]

If Mercury had a personality, she'd be a great character.

Isn't nice girl a personality?

Kathryn totally delivered (lesbian cheerleader) but no one picked up where she left off. :[

So this was a pretty good stand-alone issue in my opinion. Nice art, snappy dialogue, and interesting characterizations. Unfortunately, Elixir was only the fourth or fifth most-intriguing aspect of the story. I don't really see this as bringing about all that much clamor for the return of the NXM kids. Still, I appreciate the effort.

She is a great character, she's just very unused.


Remember when she was a bitch to Wallflower? Good Times!

[xhx23x]

Mercury's only real flaw is that she's needy enough to beg wither or of all people to do her.

she would have much more to do as a villian.

[Dudebro McTypo]

Should be lots of nice NXM cameos next week. In Astonishing Hellion seems to be gazing at Loa like she's Prime Rib lol

[Dudebro McTypo]

After some sleuthing i've come to the conclusion that Kid Omega is going to get shot in the head by Kade Kilgore in September's issue of WATXM
