Chuck's farewell.

Thanks for the info. I absolutely loved New X-men, and I wish Morrison's stories had been left alone. I also thought his Magneto was excellent. Planet X was a really good story, but all big daring stories in the X-universe seem to get retconned over (like the Dark Phoenix). I only buy Astonishing ri...

Chuck's farewell.

[spoiler]Xorn and Cassandra Nova were in stories together, after the New X-men annual (like in New X-men 126!). Also Ernst was Cassandra Nova. There was speculation that Austen didn't notice this, does anyone know if it was true that Austen didn't realize (or just didn't want to address) Ernst as Ca...

Astonishing X-Men General Discussion

[spoiler] Apparentely the Phoenix page was a ruse. Marvel.com labels the pic "Return of Phoenix Ruse" in their wallpaper section. I like Colossus, so I'm not upset that he is back. However some x-men should probably stay dead. Since Jean is Phoenix she makes the most sense, to me, to come ...

Astonishing X-Men General Discussion

Astonishing X-men is my favorite X-book right now. I really like Whedon's style and I enjoy the pacing a lot. He definitey is good at characterization. He also does drama really well. I've enjoyed the tension between Cyke and Wolverine, Beast and Wolverine, and Emma and Kitty. I also like that Whedo...

The Lightning Rod: Austen Interview Gen. Discussion

Ok here are my two cents. I hope I don't regret this hehe.. When Chuck Austen first got on the xbooks I did enjoy his first few stories. However that quickly changed, and I began to not enjoy them so much. Though, I do think that it was horrible that Austen got threats, that people called him a raci...

GRAND MAGNETO THREAD

Hey now :P I do want to say of course I do not think that drug use and ultraviolence are cool in the real world. But for the X-men it seemed like something different for them I guess especially with the tone of the story. The X-men lead dangerous lives. They go up against dangerous foes. Things are ...

I don't know if you all have read this yet, but Grant Morrison recentely did a huge interview over at popimage.com.

Here are some of my thoughts on the recent revelations [spoiler] At first I was really surprised about Magneto being back. I also was sorta surprised by Xorn being back as well. Like many here know from my posts, I've been a big fan of Grant Morrison's New X-men. So I'm hesitant about all this. I wi...

Nightcrawler ZERO, do you think you can talk to your friend so we can confirm this? I haven't heard anything about this. I also thought it was good that the phoenix was shown coming from Jean's Grave. It seemed like to me that Austen wasn't trying to tell us that Jean is dead and will stay that way....

There are first look previews up for Claremont's and Davis' first Uncanny issue! They are up at both pop culture shock and comics continuum. Anyhow the thing that really stood out to me was Rachel's name change! She is called Rachel Grey! Its seemingly to me that Rachel is obviously a Jean Replaceme...

Genosha, Mags and Claremont's new Excalibur

Hi Paty :) I wanted to comment on the Cassandra Nova stuff you mentioned earlier in this thread. Cassie was a good guy in Here Comes Tomorrow because Cassandra Nova was Ernst! Ernst was the little girl who looked like an old woman. She was a member of Xorn/Magneto's Special class. Remember how the X...

I don't follow the Avengers too well, but I've always liked the Wasp. I thuoght she was cool, and I've seen from previews that Austen has done intersting things with her, like her being able to grow tall. I've heard a lot of rumors about the Avengers Disassembled. Does anyone know if it is true that...

Which is likely what I'll do with the next issue. Well I don't know if I'd say the characters were real. I'm not sure w...

So there is a possibiliity only Jean and the Professor knew... Or... Someone missed it. And Cassandra will show up in the ...

Phoenix Work

All those Phoenix's were interesting. I wonder what it meant for Jean being called a White Phoenix of the Crown. Seems to me she has high status because of the symbolism with her white and gold outfit and being from/in the crown. Also the quote about "You were always there waiting for yourself ...

who died?

I've been a big fan of Cyke and Jean since I was 11 years old. So a part of me likes them together. But what I liked about New X-men was how separate they were. Both characters had other things going on. And I even like Cyke and Emma as a couple or at least a team. But since Jean is my ultimate favo...

X-Men: Reloaded 2004

Being the huge Jean Grey fan /Fanboy that I am ... I wonder whats up for Jean (if anything) in Reload. So far we've been told that she is dead, but at the same time no one is saying that Jean is staying that way. Also Morrison had said that none of the X-men die in his run, but that they change. Her...

Hi Panz, What was explained with the last issue was that Kick was actually a form of Sublime. So all those who used it was infected by Sublime. Wolverine tells Jean that "Magneto killed ya.. under orders he never understood." If thats not the exact quote its pretty close. I don't have the ...

Its Jean. She died twice in Planet X. First she was killed by Wolverine as they were going into the sun. She went in Full Phoenix Mode after coming out of the sun and then during the battle with Magneto ... he killed her (but under orders he'd never understand) She then hatched out of a Phoenix Egg ...

I wonder will fans of Morrison's style X-men enjoy Astonishing? I was hoping that would be my main book that I'd enjoy. The X-men do seem to be taking a big step backwards. But thats just the feeling I've got from the various interviews and previews. I know Uncanny seems really retro, but it was sup...

New X-men

New X-men sure had its load of mystery. I will miss GM a whole lot. I really enjoyed his stories. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every issue of his run (yeah even the stuff people didn't seem to like so much like Fantomex and Assault on Weapon Plus). I can't say that about any other x-run.
