Is... Gambit kissing Susan Hatchi? Such a man-whore.

[SoupStainedTie]

Some of Liu's answers seem to indicate that this book will barely be shaken up or changed by Marvel NOW! or any new X-Men status quo at all.

[Sanji]

She will be a permanent member of the team. Except to see more of her ferocity, skills as a strategist, and love life.

Yes, more Kitty!

As if this book didn't have enough problems already, people want to include X-23? No thank you. The prospect of Karma having a love life is exciting though, so I'm glad to see we'll have a glimpse at that. If the cast is slimming down, I hope that means Northstar and Kyle are on the outs. Wolverine is surplus to requirements too, and Bobby will already be in two other books. Jubilee's absence all but confirms that Gischler's getting his vampire book. Heh. With Morbius that makes two.

Liu seems like the kinda writer who'd have a hard-on writing Gambit.

[Peter F.]

Hatchi is probably mindcontrolling Gambit like she's controlling Karma.

lol, wtf is going on? an homage to the sunroom orgy in Zardoz?

I wouldn't count on Northstar and Kyle going anywhere. Liu loves her gays.

Looks more like Lady Gaga's Born this Way music video orgy. It's dark with no surroundings, and the people are all entwined in heat just like the music video.

[Pixie_Solanas]

Lady Gaga? So mainstream, Fod.

Niche, but oddly apt. Since Liu likes her boys nerdy, maybe we'll get a "the penis is bad, the gun is good" comment from one of them later.

Fod's going to give a reference to that via a Bruno Mars video next.

So glad Liu is on Astonishing and not on a title I care to read.

There's no one on that team that can carry off Zed's thigh high boots and red diaper.
