[DevilMayhem666]

Holy shit indeed!:O

[Boozier]

This book makes me crazy! It's so great! And Paige! AAAAGH!

[Ed83]

That looked crazy. :O I had to look away. Thank God it's out next week.

Poor Bobby.:( He hasn't gotten laid it awhile has he?

[Kurolegacy]

Not since Rogue lost Gambit's powers unless you count his offpanel double date with Johnny and those nameless girls from Midtown High.

Oh and Husk nooooooooo!!!!!!

[hunter_peterson]

I didn't want t spoil this for myself, then I totally did it anyway. Woo!

Oh, and Husk makes perfect sense as a "suicide" bomber. I put that in quotation marks because she's hardly going to die from a teeny explosion when she can be made out of highly durable substances. Which is an awesome use of powers. Love this book, so hard... I mean much.

her lines sound like she's planning to die from this (saying how Bobby deserves better before pressing the button).

I love you Brian Wood. I hope you could write the Ultimates title too. I'd be a killer combo.

I figured it was more "you deserve better because I'm totally about to do something awful." Note that she uses the present tense, not the past tense. She doesn't seem like she's checked out of life just yet.

That's how I read it as well.

Husk is a brotherhood plant I am guessing. Same tactics.

Well, she does seem to be blowing up other mutants with her. It's quite hard to see from that page. I know a lot of people like her. But I wonder how they feel about her (seemingly) sacrificing her life to kill dozens of innocent people. Maybe she's doing it in the name of Apocalypse, like a muslim terrorist would blow themselves up in the name of Allah. I don't really have much of an opinon on the matter, but I'm curious.. Do any of you Ultimate Husk fans dislike that she could be "evil"? I think it's a cool scene, I love the preview and I love the book, but it's very likely her actions here are immoral, wrong and unjustified. I think it's great what Brian Wood is doing, but I just wanted to point this out to see if anyone else was thinking the same thing. If she's blowing up other people, it's not heroic and it clearly makes her bad person.
