Nate Grey is cool, I just hope they don't still call him "X-Man". I never liked that name much.

Triple-X Preview: X-FACTOR, WOLVERINE WEAPON X, X-MEN LEGACY (http://www.newsarama.com/php/multimedia/album.php?aid=30119)

[HomerGator]

Wow, nobody's commenting on Utopia? The newest issue was pretty decent, although it feels like it's just building to the finale (which should be bonkers). I love how Scott seems to know a bunch of stuff that nobody else knows. Norman and Emma are about to find out what Magneto, Apocalypse, Sinister, the Master Mold, and countless others have learned: to underestimate Scott Summers is to lose.

I like the squad he has ready to take down Emma's X-Men. I'm wondering who he has planned to fight Osborn's Avengers?

I thought it was pretty obviously X-Force. People were clamoring for those two teams to have a smackdown a while back.

Well, we know X-23 is with X-Force going to go get their people out of prison, and she is part of the group slated to take down Emma's X-Men (she'll likely be fighting Daken). But how in the world are X-Force supposed to take on Ares and the Sentry? Claw power?

[Spidey616]

Looking forward to the promised Daken/X-23 confrontation in Dark Avengers. That's gonna be fun :)

[HomerGator]

Daken should fuck her shit up. I don't know if he will or not, because the Daken showing up in other books isn't as badass as the one in Wolverine: Origins (although he had a really nice showing in Amazing Spider-Man recently).

No X-23 is being "borrowed" by Cyke from X-Force for his plan. As for how those 2 are supposed to take on Ares and the Sentry? That might just be what Magik is there for.

[Omega Flight]

As for Daken he's not the team leader after all. Fraction said he's kind of writing him as a sort of teenage prickish Wolverine who's just enjoying the fame and glory he's getting from his spotlight. I think it's pretty valid from what Way's been writing him as in his Wolverine appearance. Plus his powers are ineffective against a telepath like Emma.

Pretty sure they're borrowing Magik so they can teleport in to where their teammates are being held captive.

[HomerGator]

New Astonishing solicits show that we might just be getting some Warren Ellis-written Brood!!!!!

[Omega Flight]

I still wonder though who's powerful enough to take on Ares and the Sentry though? The only people I could see who'd be able to take the Sentry at least somewhat fairly are Rogue and Elixir. If I'm missing anyone else do correct me.

If Elixir could take Stryfe he could have a shot at the Sentry.

When it comes to the Sentry, you need telepaths, telepaths, and more telepaths. Charles Xavier, for instance....

As far as Ares, I have no idea. Too bad they don't have Wither anymore.

The Sentry has some kind of psychic abilities, but honestly his power set is STILL so ill-defined, who the hell knows (or cares, honestly)? I do know that in the past he's been succeptible to telepathy, ie. Emma Frost, Mastermind. That would be your best (and probably only) real chance against him.

And again, when it comes to Ares, I'm really not sure. It's like fighting Thor or the Hulk. You might just have to throw everyone/thing you have at him and hope for the best.

Fraction said this story would be like WWH with the X-Men throwing everything and the kitchen sink. So far there hasn't been little more than a few scattered scraps between several X-Men and Avengers.

[HomerGator]

Maybe they can track down Thor or Hercules or Wonder Man or Skaar (or Juggernaut)? Otherwise you just go balls out and try to keep casualties to a minimum. The real question is who has to keep Ares busy (or the Sentry) while the rest of the Dark Avengers/X-Men are taken out?

I would imagine your best bet would be Colossus.

Edit: Or maybe they plan to have Magik teleport Ares to Limbo while they fight everyone else? I haven't read any New Mutants yet, can she still do that?

Yeah she can teleport. Why not just teleport him to Antarctica? The Sentry is the real problem, they could just have Colossus go toe to toe with Ares otherwise.

[HomerGator]

No, I know she can still teleport. I just wasn't aware of whether or not she still had access to Limbo. And if we get the Sentry from WWH, then the X-Men are fucked. Completely and totally fucked. But if we get the Sentry from the Avengers books the last few years (which I'm betting on) then they'll probably take him out rather quickly.

If Norman says do it he would tear the head off everyone within a 50 mile radius of himself. So yeah if Sentry is used as the H-Bomb like Norman wants him to be then they're fucked. Hopefully the only reason he doesn't use him is because he doesn't want the public to see how jacked up Sentry is in the head.

Either that, or Scott has a pretty good idea this is a possibility and makes sure they're both... indisposed, so he can't do just that.

Man, I can't wait to see Thor v Sentry. It looks like the Hulk and the Sentry are evenly matched, but how does goldilocks match up with Namor, Thor, Hercules, Ares, Skaar, Silver Surfer, Wonder Man, etc.

None of those guys except Skaar and the Surfer could even go toe to toe with the Hulk for a long time so I'd say only them. Remember Ares got his ass kicked by the Hulk in World War Hulk.

I'll bet you Scott's plan isn't to win but to retreat to that underwater city they're gonna raise. After what he did to Osborn the X-Men are going to be driven out of San Francisco.

Check my edit I added some stuff. But Simon also got beaten up by the Hulk in World War Hulk and he couldn't even go toe to toe with Ultron as well as the Sentry could.

[HomerGator]

As far as the evacuation stuff, you're likely right on. But concerning the Wonder Man stuff, you have to keep in mind that he hasn't been shown being nearly as powerful as he is in recent years. Wonder Man has really been pushed off to the side. Even when he was on the Mighty Avengers he was just kind of there. If you want an idea of what Wonder Man is capable of, check out the Last Avengers Story. I know it's pretty much a "What if?" or "The End", but it's the only one that comes to mind immediately when I think of his more badass moments. I bet if I went back and re-read a bunch of old Avengers and West Coast Avengers I could find more examples.

It's too bad they just can't bring back New X-Men anymore. It was doing numbers that seemed to be equal to X-Force's in the limited charts we get to see. That must seem like heaven to them now...

Pages from "Dark Wolverine" #77

I've long since seen these online, so I'm not sure which episode you're on. Is next week's the one where he becomes Archangel? I loved those episodes (shocking, I know).

I pretty much prefer Warren as Archangel myself, more the angsty powered up Lobdell version more than the horseman version used at first and in X-Force. Has anyone ever had a run with Angel that succeeded? I think it might be interesting to see someone try. There has to be a good writer out there with the nerve and talent to craft an Angel story that doesn't need power ups and bloodthirst to suceed...

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who wrote Angel: Revelations, did a fantastic job writing a pre-X-Men Warren. I think he'd do great on an ongoing series of Warren as just Angel.

CBR PREVIEW DARK AVENGERS/UNCANNY X-MEN: EXODUS #1 (http://comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=3328&disp=table)

This is it! Final chapter!

Quick question about the preview:

How did he know who was under the Hawkeye costume so quickly???

I love Scott and he's a smart guy, but it makes no sense that he could make that association so quickly.

[Cardinal Braxiatel]

The Angel-centric episode of Wolverine And The X-Men exceeded my every expectation. The beginning bits with Warren as Angel, while certainly not helped by a wooden line reading, showed a very good Angel story. If it had extended the whole episode I would not have been disappointed. The other bit that surprised me was how much thought the animators put into how the metal wings could be used offensively. Even Simonson made them somewhat silly (and that costume!) but in this episode they believeably helped Warren go toe to toe with Wolverine!

[NickT]

Just got done reading Deadpool #15 and..

*crosses fingers that Wade finally joins X-Force*

Wouldn't be the first time he's tried to join the X-Men but maybe now that he's popular again, some of those young turks are looking to cut in on the action by throwing him in a team book.
Not a fan. They're pushing him too much too quickly, and his personality has a habit of overpowering the rest of a book.



(And this is someone whose favourite character is Deadpool saying this)

Emma might have known Bullseye was around and told Scott, so when a guy does a shot like that he might put two and two together.

Good, logical thinking.

[NickT]

I'm still keeping my mouth shut. ;-)

Hehe :)



I mean on one hand, I'm liking this whole popularity wave which is pretty much unknown in Deadpool-land. But seriously, the good-selling Deadpool basically started with Way's #1, and within eighteen months we're gaining extra ongoings, minis, oneshots. I mean, have they decided the Deadpool popularity wave will only last a year or two so are going to milk it heavily? I wouldn't actually mind that, you do what is good for your business, but I'm assuming they are going more long-term. If that is the case, why do you start ongoing #3 (Well, I think it's ongoing #3) before ongoing #2 has finished it's first arc, only a couple of months after an unrelated mini finished?


I mean correct me if I'm wrong because for me to speak of this is like speaking of something in a historical text book, but didn't they happen with Punisher? He hit popularity, he got majorly exposed, sales dropped and then he struggled to hit popularity again (Where would he be now without Ennis?)? Couldn't the same thing happen here, but on a faster scale?


I just can't wrap my tiny brain around what the plan is. Deadpool showed a bit more popularity in recent times, I can understand expanding the character's reach. But right now it kindof feels like three people came up with good ideas to expand it and they accidently all got green-lit rather than choosing the best idea.

Does it actually say it's cancelled or is it just assumed because the story is going to be printed in other books?

Nothing has said cancelled yet, and the book was in the last solicits (November):

CABLE #20
Written by DUANE SWIERCZYNSKI
Penciled by GABRIEL GUZMAN
Cover by DAVE WILKINS
"BROOD," PART 3
There's trapped, and then there's trapped...like when you're marooned in the vacuum of space and every part of your ship is crawling with parasitic aliens who want to plant the eggs of their unborn at the base of your spine. There's screwed, and then there's screwed...like when Bishop, the mutant cop with a nuke in his arm, is set to blow everything to hell the minute he sees his target--the girl you've spent 15 years trying to protect. There's no time left. No food. No air.
32 PGS./Rated T+ ...$2.99


Infact from the writer's Twitter:

@RachelSummersX (http://twitter.com/RachelSummersX) Whoah! Where's this rumor coming from? Cable's definitely not being cancelled.

While I'm enjoying that aspect too...I'm beginning to wonder exactly how old Nathan is at this point. I mean, he was, what...in his late 40s when he started up X-Force. Factoring in Marvel Time and all his time jupming, he has to be at least early-mid 50s at this point.

Pretty spry for a guy racing towards retirement.

[HomerGator]

Exodus was sweet. Loved the way they took out Ares. Loved it loved it loved it. Very interesting development with Emma and her powers after the Sentry confrontation. My only complaint was we never really got to see any of the fights. We say like two panels per throw-down. I know that the book was already oversized, but I would have liked to see more of Archangel and Bullseye, or Colossus and Venom, and most definitely X23 and Daken/ Wolverine and Omega.

Favorite moment:

"Mr. Osborn. We're all X-Men now."

Cyclops might end up treating Wade like a pain in the ass initially but if he can get Deadpool medicated, lets face it, Deadpool would probably be his most valuable murderer behind Wolverine.

Hopefully Summers is a "I'll try anything once" kind of guy.

I know the outfit is supposed to look funny...but I mean, I actually think it looks sort of okay on him. :lol:

Though looking at X-Force fashion, if he does ultimately join, is he going to end up wearing a black and white version of his standard suit with red eye sockets?

It can work, it just requires a lil precision/restraint.

I do think if they can pull it off the way I'm thinking, he'll definitely be worth it.

Wolverine and Deadpool are always good for physical comedy. Wade offers him the opportunity to punish someone without impunity.

He's good for a stab or head cutting off at the drop of a hat.

I'm sure his "wolverine with a vagina" barrage of X-23 jokes will get old quickly but in time, we'll learn to accept them and make peace with them.

Cable I could easily see back with the X-men (especially since he's apparently coming back in November with Hope). He was awesome as a member of Rogue's team under Mike Carey. But Stryfe!? He's way too bat$#!t insane to be an X-man. Plus, didn't Apocalypse take him off to possess his body at the end of Messiah War or something like that?

[Marcdachamp]

I'm intrigued by the idea of Namor as an X-Man. I think he'll fit the team better than he ever has with any group. Plus, we'll have a new Scott/Jean/Logan style triangle with Scott/Namor/Emma.

Just read the X-men Legacy annual. Why is the lead story being continued somewhere else? (into the main Legacy book, I'd imagine). But it's an ANNUAL, it's supposed to be a one-shot, could be a prologue. but just part one of a story? Why not just put it in the main book? I guess, what was so annual-y about this book?

As for the actual story, 'twas pretty good! :)

Yup,
They canceled his book, so he sacrificed himself in the last issue. Not really dying, but scattering his essence into every living thing on Earth.

It was actually hinted during Endangered Species by Dark Beast that the way he "died" he could very well come back.

I have to respectfully disagree. I think it's all over the map and lacks any real focus or forward progress on any one thing. I also wish it looked better but for a better story I would have been more forgiving of art not to my taste...

I have a strong love/hate relationship with IGN but I thought this was a very interesting idea, one some have probably seen discussed before but interesting nonetheless:

Should Uncanny X-Men Go Weekly? (http://comics.ign.com/articles/103/1033870p1.html)

I have to say I agree with them quite emphatically.

I'm a huge fan of Amazing Spider-Man's current creative schedule/style right now (despite the slight annoyances lately in artists finishing other artists' arc to meet a deadline) but really, it's also something that seems to fit the massive X-Men franchise perfectly right now.

My opinions range from "no", "god no" and "This is the worst idea in the history of the world".

Firstly, "It worked for Spider-Man". Well, that's up for debate. You look at the sales, and strong arguments can be made both ways for wether the schedule has helped ASM. I'd also argue that ASM might be better quality-wise with less creators and less issues a year.

Second, ASM is about one person, the X-Men are many people. There is a lot more logic in an individual having a single book than a whole mass of people, who could shine in a team that has it's own book but would be nothing but background in a mass book.

Also, the X-Books have the great advantage right now that you can buy books based on the creative team, tone, style and characters involved. Turn them into some mass book and you lose this, as everything just sinks into one big stew of books. One of the writers suggests morphing X-Force into this book, what about the people who just want to read X-Force? It's not like a specific number of issues a year will be all-them, so the book is lost to them. This idea takes the logic that everyone wants to read every book, and that simply isn't the case.

I'd rather be able to choose the books I want to read than the all-or-nothing mentality that a weekly would cause, and I would rather writers getting to tell their own stories in their own way with their own team in their own books over the mass lump.

[artimoff]

What Marvel should do is put all 3 Dec ASM issues as well as Dec's WOS In one magazine size newsstand issue at the beginning of Jan for $5.99. The do the same with the Avengers related books & 4 of the X-Men titles.

X-MEN SECOND COMING Interview:

http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=23289

Some titles canceled/reimagined, new titles born out of the event, and Kyle and Yost are leaving X-FORCE:

For Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, "X-Men: Second Coming" is doubly satisfying because not only is it the final chapter of the Messiah Trilogy, it's also the final chapter in their run on "X-Force." "Chris and I have had a plan from the beginning of what we wanted to do with this team. We knew what the last page of our last issue on the title looked like," Craig Kyle said. "This is going to close a chapter for us, and like our run on 'New X-Men,' it's exciting because we planned for it and knew it was coming. We've been talking with everybody for about a year and a half now about how we wanted to go out, and it's going to be in a blaze of glory.

[Spidey616]

:shock:

Wonder what's to come for the team. Just as I was hoping to see Deadpool join :surrend:

[Fake Pat]

There was a time not too long ago when I would have been excited for all this, but these announcements pretty much sealed it for me...

if it ain't Astonishing, I just ain't that into it anymore.

[Omega Flight]

There was a time not too long ago when I would have been excited for all this, but these announcements pretty much sealed it for me...

if it ain't Astonishing, I just ain't that into it anymore.

How come? I'm also personally a little saddened X-Force is ending but it makes sense. X-Force was formed after Messiah CompleX as the vanguard for Hope's return and it makes sense it ends after. It's nice they had an endgame in mind anyway and they did keep the book pretty tight so at the very least we should be happy bout that.

I wonder what Yost and Kyle are gonna do after? New X-Men again?

Also I REALLY wanna see how Bastion reacts to Necrosha.

[WhindamPryce]

X-Force is ending? :( :( :( :( :(

[Fake Pat]

How come?

A combination of Fraction's Uncanny leaving me cold and that X-Force/Cable crossover being absolutely horrible.

[Omega Flight]

X-Force is ending? :( :( :( :( :(

Well at the very least Kyle and Yost's run on it is ending. Who knows it could restart again under a new concept or well old one reused.

[Omega Flight]

A combination of Fraction's Uncanny leaving me cold and that X-Force/Cable crossover being absolutely horrible.

I thought it was way great in the arcs Dodson was drawing. But yes the stuff Greg Land draws really makes it difficult to like the stories.

And yeah the starting of Messiah War was awesome but the ending was... anti-climactic. Also pretty lame to make Stryfe cool again but castrate him in the end.

[WhindamPryce]

Well at the very least Kyle and Yost's run on it is ending. Who knows it could restart again under a new concept or well old one reused.

The book's doing well sales-wise, right? It's got Logan, so it pretty much has to. :)
I hope it's just the last issue by this particular team. Because unless something MASSIVE happens in the upcoming Nation X/Necrosha/Hope returning thing, I don't see why Cyclops would suddenly not have need for X-force anymore.

Mutants are still a minority? Check.
Cyke is still being proactive? Check.

So yeah...

Considering X-Force more than likely would get revealed to the mutant community maybe Cyke would be forced to dissolve X-Force.

[WhindamPryce]

Considering X-Force more than likely would get revealed to the mutant community maybe Cyke would be forced to dissolve X-Force.

Well the mutant community pretty much all lives at Utopia anyway. I'm sure they'll place their trust in Cyke, in that he knows what he's doing. And if Magneto's joining the team (as it kinda seems from that Second Coming image) then I'm sure the "mutant community" will be okay with venturing into gray areas like that. I'm sure they can see it's all being done to ensure their survival. I'm sure some people will be all like WAHHH it's unethical. Well fuck that noise! :)

X-Force is there to fight the battles the X-Men can't. If the X-Men were to be aware their hopes would be meaningless in a fashion.

[The Kiai]

So, what do you guys think???

Is Magneto truely joining the X-Men?? Is he back to take his asteroid home since Cyke took it without his permission??? How cool would Magnus look in an X-Man uniform???

[rwsmith]

Considering X-Force more than likely would get revealed to the mutant community maybe Cyke would be forced to dissolve X-Force.

Maybe he'll be forced to dissolve them...and then Cable will pick up the reins and run with it, bringing in Deadpool and with a few other roster changes.

I could get behind that, especially if they keep Mike Choi on art duties. Maybe let Duane Swiercynski take over as writer since Kyle & Yost are leaving the book. Just a thought, but that could be cool IMO.

[WhindamPryce]

seriously every time I think of "X X Baby!" i LOL. :)

[MabusRex]

No more C & C on X-Force? Nooooooooooooooooooooo :(

[jadailyTCU]

Man, I'm looking forward to Second Coming. Especially since the only books that aren't already on my pull list are the Alpha and Omega one-shots. It sounds like exactly the kind of event I'm looking for, really. Especially since EVERYTHING has been building toward it.

I still have this theory that Hope is actually Madelyne Pryor. Think about it: Much ado has been made of Hope's resemblance to Jean Grey; both Hope and Maddie appeared in Alaska; and if Hope is Maddie, it would make more sense for her to cause Bishop's future. Of course, I'm probably wrong, but I wanted to share my theory since we're probably going to at least come closer to finding stuff out soon.

Also really looking for the New Mutants, Cable and X-Force meetings within the crossover. That could really be a story within itself, to be honest. And the future of X-Force interests me as well.

[Ben]

So what titles is Second Coming crossing over with?

[jadailyTCU]

Uncanny, Legacy, New Mutants and X-Force.
