GASP! I was joking! Maybe it's Rogue and Magneto's baby! (slightly less jokingly)

Booze are you getting Star Wars cause of Brian Wood? I'm not sure yet. Also Mara wasn't very good.

Agreed. Now hand me a tissue.

Haven't decided on Star Wars.

As for Mara, I'm going to pick it up in trades. Wood's ongoing issues seem to be less episodic than typical comics. I expect it to be much better each issue. Re-reading Wood's X-Men run made me appreciate him even more when I read it as a whole.

I can't. I used all of mine. :(

That's better. I forgive you... for now.

Do you expect me to do something terrible soon?

Mara is a mini-series.

Shiiiiiit I thought it was ongoing!

Age of Apocalypse was good. I'm hoping it continues past X-Termination or that Lapham lands on another X title

It was the best thing ever, wasn't it ??? I loved the homage to the original series. I felt the fight scenes were kind of rushed though, I wanted more Prelate Murdock.

The birth will be Jean and Quintin having the next leader of the mutant race.

I agree, the fights didn't get that much focus. I think they wanted to focus more on the insight with Omega/Jean, so the fights took a backseat. I would've loved to see more Keeper Murdock.
