AvX #4 and UXM #12 Previews

[Ian Pressman]

The real Storm would have dropped a massive hurricane on the country and sucked it out into space. Or crushed it with a Jovian pressure field all from afar. Of course they'll have her job and just come in throwing lighting bolts.

What's storm's range? Doesn't she have to be in the vicinity for her weather effects to work? I never really followed her character outside of her animated appearances, and in those, she always had to be in the area. I never understood how she could create a tornado, but be immune to getting sucked in by the vortex.

They had whole summits dedicated to the event. There should have been a master list with stuff like:

Gambit stays in the school during the event.
She-Hulk goes to Savage Land (or wherever) / She-Hulk can only join the main fight in Act 2 because she'll be in the school in Act 1.
Madison goes to the Avengers Academy.

It's really not hard at all. Supposedly, the editors had months to plan this thing out.

They didn't even bother writing down the SHRA for the CW and you think they would bother with that?

she thunderclapped cyclops from halfway around the world this one time.

In a perfect world, Storm takes BP easily. But BP has vibranium macguffin tech. Dude jobbed out Mephisto that one time. Not liking Storm's chances against BP's ability to pull off a perfect Batman-gambit takedown.

He will just use his Herald proof armbar.

Storm's power can effect the whole planet, as seen in X-Treme X-Men.

Wow, Sunspot, who doesn't even need to get in close to do damage, was made to a fool by Thing. Other than that, looks great.

making a fool out of himself is one of sunspot's core personality traits.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Dazzler better win her fight against Spider-Woman and Domino better win her fight against whoever she's facing. Magma really should ask her boyfriend for help considering who he is. So nice that Rogue went to the Hellfire Safe House with Scott and Emma

@ Slant - Better than throwing a deck of cards.

[Slant]

@ Majinoaw - I didn't see anyone throwing a deck of cards at the Phoenix.

[Hyperstorm]

I hated it, too. But there was a scene that seems to have been from AvX with Tony Stark holding Hope's hand as they walked toward a big Leonardi Da Vinci type machine.

That wasn't Tony, it was the future version of Franklin Richards that Hickman's been using in Fantastic Four.

Exactly.


If by any chance she doesn't kill Bumpanther it's because she takes pity on him for the punk he is and leaves him high, dry and embarrassed.
She should just be able to take their breathing away (see worlds apart) and call it a day.

Over confidence is Sunspot's strongest character flaw. So it makes sense he'd go in for the up close KO.
Cuz he's a hot head.

Stranger already happened: Namor vs. Thing. UNDER WATER.

If Storm and BP come to actual blows...I'm gonna be annoyed and cry foul.
Everyone else fighting each other -- I mean physically attacking eachother makes sense, but for Storm and BP to start swinging at each other, that would just be unfortunate for their characters.

Storm confining him with wind currents or BP getting the drop on her with a nerve pinch or something, sure.
But if either of them takes a swing at the other? Boo. They'd have to make it a really, REALLY good excuse.
