New Avengers #3 *Preview*

[XPac]

No the problem is that it is somehow in the JEAN GREY SCHOOL, not the old Xavier school.

Since Xavier doesn't have a school, I think hiding it in Jeans kid of makes sense.

And honestly I wouldn't be that shocked if Xavier still owned the property.

[Vic Vega]

Looks that way. It's not inconceivable. He was in the JGSG in the first issue of Wolverine and the X-Men

He also visited it a second time during AvX.

Professor's been there enough times "on camera" to have plausibly hidden it there.

...Hickman has a pretty good grasp of Hank and Charles relationship: they had gong from being teacher and student to being peers with a strong sense of mutual admiration and friendship between them.

[Victor Freeman]

Xavier, not only was at the Jean Grey School--but Beast was also there and helped up the school on the map. There is nothing wrong with the scene--as far as beast--could be artist interpretation or it occurred before he mutated.

Agreed, there nothing wrong here.

The preview makes it look like Prof X is sitting at his desk though, don't you think?

Maybe he has an office there.

[0bsessions]

So Xavier hides the gem in his office...in a safe...with the password being a non-case sensitive word that was on THE SIGN FOR HIS SCHOOL?!

Xavier was one of those idiots who used "password" to lock his AOL account, wasn't he?

[Indian Ink]

Black Bolt is holding his gem in that panel (the green one).

I suppose it might have been so bad that he's had to go back to the Sanctum Sanctorum to recover.

Or it's an artists mistake and Strange is still getting the soul gem.

[Juggernaut Punch]

Weird that this happens at the exact moment the Illuminati show to get the gem.

Maybe Xavier found a way to make the Gem undetectable by the other gems while inside the safe, and when Hank took it out, the other gems were able to find it.

[PupsOfWar]

Lockjaw forever

Or it's an artists mistake and Strange is still getting the soul gem.

There are a lot of things he could be doing. He could be consulting one of his mystic backers for information. He could be interviewing the Black Swan. He might just be at home packing. I hope Hickman shows us what he's up to while Cap, Namor, and Black Bolt are talking to Beast and Tony, Reed, and T'Challa are working on their incursion detector.

Isn't this spectacular? Look at how Epting gives the scene sparkle and class, and how the revelation instantly moves Henry over to where the Illuminati are. That office scene put me into the same mode as Brubaker and Eptings Marvel Project, where the refined officialdom of the Doctor was replaced by the Lawyer. I love that sort of storytelling by Epting, because it takes you out of the genre of super Heroing, and puts you almost into the 19th Century.

I see the Beast is still the unevolved version from All New X-Men, and Cap is in his traditional garb, not the Ultimates suit like he is in Uncanny. And I wonder why Black Bolt is holding all the gems? Is it because he can't speak his wishes without destroying everything?

This is going to be a phenomenol piece when they all decide to use gems to do something. There is going to be so much discussion around what the course of action should be and why they should do it, and are they prepared for the consequences, including a new Earth and Universe.

Also, are we certain any of this is actually happening to Beast for real? Has he actually left the Lawyers office, or is he still sitting in the Lawyers chair after he got the trigger "remember"?

I suppose you can make an arguement that they gave the gems to (arguably) the most powerful member of the group.

I think it might just be a nice way to give the poor guy something to do in the story, since he does so little because he doesn't speak. You literally forget the poor guy is there in the room sometimes.

Oops. Sorry. But it is a good beginning to a book.
