Nightscrawlers

Even if #18 nearly made me cry for several reasons.

Seconded on both counts. I was really starting to like that character, too. Dammit. Why is it always the ones I like?!

Ah, cool, I knew they were related but was trying to put the chicken before the egg. I was reading at the time, but the years can muddle together. That's a lot of blue mileage. ;) Come to think of it, 616 Kurt's loincloth and swords might have had to do with the popularity of the AoA arc. Maybe the...

Darkholme was brought in under the design concept imagery of the original Nightcrawler, but in an edgier version, to fit with the current Marvel trend. If I'm not completely mistaken, the concept of Darkholme was based on 616 Kurt in the latter part of the Excalibur run -- the sabre and loincloth e...

This teaser:
Supposedly, Marvel has implied that it is related to the "Wanted" teaser. It looks just like this one but with the other word and the creative team of Hopeless and Larroca.

It's somewhat unclear, but I suspect it's getting the relaunch treatment. Most titles seem to be going that way; although, a couple where it might actually make sense due to protagonist changes are not. Regardless, there's speculation that the "Killers" teaser might be for X-Force.

With the extended arcs and creator changes, everything managed to last a year with us. The hubby's more forgiving than I and has more attachment to the characters. (He also doesn't like dropping stuff in the middle of an arc. :P) As someone who was mostly new to the DCU shortly before the reboot, I'...

Sneaky: "In an interview with CBR, Remender revealed that due to his increasingly busy schedule he's departing the book with December's issue #35, which is the close of the current "Final Execution" storyline and referred to in the introduction of the article as the "series final...

Does that mean you won't be picking it up after the relaunch with Legion as the focal point?

"The story up until issue 35 is locked in." - Remender in late July
He confirms in the second interview that UXF is not ending.

Darkholme (Darkhölme? The spelling never was consistent.) as leader could be interesting. There's some speculation that the Punisher will be joining X-Force because his title is ending for him to join a team, and some seem to think that this one is the best fit for him if he's joining an existing te...

Oo! Oo! Spidey got his powers from an irradiated spider, right? The Phoenix is a cosmic force, so the blast was probably cosmic radiation. Spidey must be more resistant to all forms of radiation because of how he got his powers! Comic book science! ;) I must agree, though. That punch looked like it ...

Deadpool lost his healing factor in his own series, so that's probably staying around for a while. I was rather confused at his recovery of his looks and the cancer cure, too. Either I completely missed why the serum would fix all that or there was no explanation.

She stayed at the academy, but she doesn't seem to agree fully with either side at this point. It's just the place she wants to be right now in her journey of self-discovery.

OK so as I understand it there are now 5 Phoenix empowered mutants (none of which are Hope) busily reshaping the world in their image and a certain someone (won't spoiler it) will be coming back. It's less in their image and more a world-peace-now image. They're rather miffed with the Avengers, tho...

I'm reading it. When I stop thinking about the bits that bug me, it's enjoyable. Versus has been rather one-sided so far, but it's still early. The WatXM issues have been solid, as usual. I really do like that title. My biggest problem is with the fight itself, I guess. I have a hard time believing ...

Very nice!

Be careful with the shading. It's easy to overdo it. You don't want to look like Kurt in makeup, y'know?

This title typically has a different artist for each arc, or 3-6 issue chunk of a mega-arc. The styles and colors are usually somewhat similar, so it's not as jarring as it could be. Still, Tocchini was odd. IIRC, around 10 years are meant to have passed since the AoA anniversary mini. I don't remem...

What about "Deadpool MAX" and "Deadpool VS ..." and there's the stuff he appears in with with the same frequency of Logan. I'm pretty sure MAX wasn't 616, but it's over (or ending, if the last issue isn't out yet). If you meant Deadpool Team-Up by the second, it got the axe quit...

E.V.A. is technically part of Fantomex: she's his external nervous system. Deadpool only has one ongoing title outside of UXF now, so he's not stretched so thin that he couldn't be a full-time resident. Wade's currently trying to get himself killed in his solo title, and the solicits bat around the ...

I think this title does have someone meant to be the regular artist (Jerome Opeña maybe?), but the shipping schedule seems to make having just one artist nearly impossible because there aren't many artists who can handle more than 12 issues per year. It'd be nice if they could just pick two artists,...

On Meggan: She was last seen in Captain Britain & MI:13 leading an army in Hell before being returned to her home dimension as a hidden weapon to help kick the snot out of Dracula and his army. I don't think Darkhölme wanting to help the refugees is totally out of character. It's just that it sh...

I am, due to my hubby's influence. ;) I can't say it's left as big of an impact on me as it has you, but that might have have more to do with my personal preferences than the book itself. The first arc's art was lovely, though. (I feel teased. Teased, I say! Joe Mad for an arc here. Silvestri for an...

I would prefer that you make a swift and complete recovery from your car crash. Acourse, you mustn't be too messed up if you're working on your costume, right? That would be good.

Unless you need suggestions, I vote for posting the chunk when you're finished.

So is anyone reading the Blue-Team Uncanny X-Men? *raises hand* What's been going on? Who's the line up? They just finished tangling with Sinister, who converted a museum into his own personal playland and caused a bit of a mess with the Celestials by stealing the Dreaming Celestial's--that's what ...

Also, just finished reading #19.1 .... Kitty meets Darkholme. :3 Spoilers! (We don't get our comics until the weekend. *sniff*) I'm surprised they'd do that so soon. Ah well, I never claimed to be psychic. ;) I dunno, splitting the X-Men up, killing off Nightcrawler, and then having the various X-M...
