True for me. Charles was often noble, despite realistic character flaws.
Mags should have the lead. Or better yet, Mags and Rogue.

As long as they aren't a couple, sure. But I have a feeling the xmen would go down a real dark path with those two.
Well even taking the fact of favorites out of the question, I believe Charles ideals were never going to get the mutants anywhere. Preemptive action is a concept I can get behind in certain situations.

Scott's and max' ideals werent making things better either. I'm really trying to think of who could lead them who won't end up killing most of them.
Amen to that. As far as Mags is concerned I feel the character is best served when he is depicted as someone who can never really change at his core, a person who believe his own supremacy above everyone else. Trying to make amends for his past Mags is not my fave. The person once persecuted for his being now is the persecutor and oppressor. Someone who will never see humans as an equal
Man I'm bummed if Daniel Way is taking over X-Force and it drops the Uncanny X-Force roster and world Rick Remender has crafted. It got me back into comics singlehandedly and gave me an X-Men team that feels like it matured as I have since I watched the 90s animated show. Bitter tears of agony. Way and Wolverine Origins started out as a great concept, Wolverine going on a revengence spree after suddenly getting his memories back; and then just got all unfocused. One run that's NOT unfocused, and in fact, exquisitely weaved is Remender's Uncanny X-Force. I put it right up there with Wheadon's Astonishing X-men as far as quality goes.
EDIT: Is it possible there will be an X-Force with Cable and whatever AND an UNCANNY X-Force title?

Jean Grey....well barring being dead and all.

She's dead far too often, and being the phoenix on earth is a definite bad thing. Separate the two, and yeah, that could work.
Jean like Storm would be ineffective and too idealistic.
Except that series has the actual Young Avengers. Fighting the other group.
Wednesday. Scalped finally ends. Ima be sad.

Can't agree. Mags has had a great character arc IMO, which is why Rogue sees what she does in him.
Carey's Rogue has been an amazing leader, and has grown immensely the way I see it.

Well yes barring those two things.
Has Scott been banging anyone since Jean Grey? Perhaps that is the long term cause.

Same how I feel about Bleeding Cool spreading this tasteless rumor about Johns leaving Aquaman. All of us fns out there that support Arthur and his world, only to be potentially dumped on with Giffen or Levitz. Fuck.

I don't agree with the Mags part, see above. And Carey's Rogue/ Magneto development isn't something I like. I hope Gage puts an end to it. Hell I'll take Gambit over Mags.

Hmm, not sure if a plus or a minus. Unrelated, but I can't imagine how bad the post Sex stank from two Phoenix beings banging must be.

Mags is a good character, and when shit hits the fan he is someone you want in your corner. I just don't like him and rogue together.
As for rogue, she led one of my favorite line ups, so max respect for that. But leader over all the xmen? No.

Really loved Dynamite's Pathfinder #1. Really characterful, good first ish setup (even if you know nothing about the Pathfinder game or world), and the art is growing on me. It looks like old Slaine artwork in some respects. Not a huge fan of the faces not being on a model consistently, but the storytelling is nice, so I'm trying to deal.
Both the print and digital versions include a ton of supplemental game stuff at the end, at no additional $$, but the print also has a pull out map, so if you're interested in the game, choose wisely.
I'm amazed that the majority of reviews have really taken to it, as fantasy comics aren't usually taken in so quickly. Jim Zub's turned out to be a hell of a guy, and a good net buddy, so I can do nothing but wish him well with this. As a huge fan of Golarion, the world setting in Pathfinder, it thrills me that he has the game's creators as friends, as well as checking his canon info.
Anyone else check it out? If you enjoyed Image's Skullkickers, IDW's Dungeons & Dragons, or DC's Demon Knights, I think you own it to yourself to jump on this one.
Zub has some wildly cool plans coming up, centered on the characters first.
My fave cover out of the bunch.

Isn't Pathfinder a D&D like RPG system? I had a friend who always wanted to use it vs regular D&D rules for some reason.

Yup. It's eclipsed DnD as the most popular RPG system. It's based on the 3.5 version of the Dungeons & Dragons system, which was open sourced. Then they took it from there and captured the industry.

Not sure what that means. I've had countless hours of fun with friends and a set of Munchkin.

I've got a stack of the trades and that's big. I think it's way too big, a hardcover should simply nt have 7 trades of material in it. This is not the dark ages and that is not a bible, there is no need for a book that big.
Anyway, best of luck to you and your soon to be crushed testicles good sir!
Jean can be pretty harsh, though. Remember how she punished Emma during that whole affair? Of course, I think she was already starting to roll back into Phoenix mode at that point.
Emma Frost since before Jean's body was cold.
Dont like munchkin. It got old after one playthrough. I can see why its fun, but i just doesnt do anything for me.
Is all the art on those cards repurposed art or new art?

NEW X-MEN REFERENCE OF THE YEAR
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'd buy it, in both cases, but in all honesty I'd rather see Hypernaturals be successful enough that they can keep going with that instead.
I love their Legion, and I loved their Guardians. I thought Thanos Imperative was great (though I wasn't all that taken with the two Annihilators minis).
Despite that, what I really want now is to see what they can do when they're not stuck upholding someone else's canon. I want to see them with the freedom to make their own.
I actually liked most of the covers, which was why I was quite disappointed I actually ended up with the one I don't - I ended up with this one in my box, but there weren't any others on the shelf so I couldn't play swaps
I've never played Pathfinder but I like fantasy series (and enjoyed IDW's DnD series), and as this one seems to start quite well I'm definitely going to give it a chance.
Looked up Skullkickers based on this thread, and having looked that up I'm incredibly tempted to buy the trade of that too.
That I Draw Comics Kickstarter surpassed its goal in 16 hours. I went for the tier with the collector's edition book and hoodie http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bravecadet/i-draw-comics-sketchbook-and-reference-guide

Maybe he needs to be banging someone else, or take up some activity to get that might lead to the massive stick up his ass being dislodged.
As she smiled down from Heaven? Yes, because Marvel can't stand to see a happily married red-head.
Well now any sex they have would technically be a threeway between Scott, Emma, and Jean, inasmuch as that weird timey-wimey stuff about Jean and the Phoenix being the same counts.
Ended up buying all the Rocketeer Adventures issues after liking the first one.
Another Comixology sale went up.....
Invincible Omnibus Sale!!!!!!!!!
I know the book has its fair share of haters, but if you are at all curious about a Kirkman cape book with fantastic art and more often than not fun adventures with a decent amount of wonder that is severely lacking in DC/Marvel cape books, give it a shot. High recommendation.
