Spiral was confirmed a while back and that's an awful fucking redesign.

More importantly, is that my man Bishop in the background?

With hair?! :O

Is real Bishop back and not cardboard cut-out angry bald Bishop?!

Oh wait - I'm racist so I cannot buy this comic, even though the team is all up my alley. It could only be better if they added Longshot. Bishop and Longshot - MULLET PRO TAG-TEAM! :D

Hold up!

Is that Psylocke?

DEAL IS OFF!

FUCK THIS BOOK! >:|

Your love of longshot always suprises me.
 
just copped a regular uncanny avengers #1 & scottie young variant for $7.50 shipped on ebay.

no need to go huntin tomorrow 8)
 
A Longshot solo isn't such a bad idea. All these team books haven't been floating my boat lately so a focus on a few choice X-Men works for me.

Or give everybody a mini and see what sticks.
 
Oooh.



If you trade Nightcrawler for Jean in your last several posts, you've captured my feelings on the issue well enough.

always good to se another jean grey fan :).

everyone if you havenet i highly recomend getting the SAGA collection tomorrow

also longshot is awesome, everyone ready X-factor

They would need to get Arthur Adams back.

If no Art Adams, then a Jo Chen is fine.

Gambit > Longshot

Longshot is the one-hit wonder of comics. Everyone will gush all over his miniseries, but tons of willful ignorance if you mention Dazzler or the 90s. He even sucks in X-Factor. He's a shitshow.
 
Out of (omnibus) curiosity, how was 52? I understand it was the introduction.reintroduction of a lot of characters but is it worth it as a series?

I'm interested in this too. I have two of the tpbs, maybe 2 and 4?, but if anybody read it and has any thoughts, that'd be dope.
 
If Fox wants to curbstomp Marvel at the box office they'll do a Mojoverse movie next!

Ryan Gosling as Longshot
Phillip Seymour Hoffman's jaundiced pasty ass as Mojo
Frida Pinto with six arms as Spiral

YOU WIN FOX!

TAKE MY MONEY! ALL OF IT!


Then this can segue into Phonciple's suggestion of Stephen Lang as Cable and Olivia Wilde as Domino. Sadly Sony still has the rights to Spiderman, so he won't be in this movie. :D

While I rather like Psylocke, the king of ass'n'titties hating on her gives me pause. What do you recommend to get a good look at the old Psylocke?

All of the Outback Uncanny run. Plus that annual with that weird dude and Wolverine running around crazy and naked. Drawn by Alan Davis.

Noone gives a shit about longshot outside of you and a handful of others on gaf. And with millar and his power of superfail behind the wheel of movies, that shit will bomb. Especially the part where we see longshot remove two of his fingers to get out of a trap.
 
True. Just sick of his characterization I guess.

You can say this about... pretty much everything character in the Big Two Universes, I think. I still love Jameson tho - dude unironically rocks a Hitler moustache. That takes some big brass ones.
 
I've just always hated when Claremont and Lee turned Betsy from a thoughtful and timid character to generic ass'n titty ninja bad girl. :|

What the fuck, we actually agree on that one. British Betsy >>>>>>>>>>>> Asian Betsy. By a LONGSHOT.

(Also, she has been written well in the UXF at least. Very well.)
 
Uncanny Avengers was pretty good, there's some things that didn't really gel with me. I really didn't like how Scott was portrayed or Xavier for that matter. The dude was an asshole. He really wasn't any better than Scott at leading and i'd say a great deal of the actions he took played a lot into what made Scott into not only the man but leader he became. Logans whole speech came across as hollow and to be honest outside of Uncanny X-Force i find it hard to take the character seriously.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Remender has planned for the book
The reveal with Red Skull was fucking awesome can't wait to see what he's going to do with Xaviers brain

Wanda was easily the highlight of this issue, nice to see her calling halt on the blame train.
 
New stuff is up on comixology.
They're also offering the first issue of Cerebus: High Society.

Bought a lot of Marvel stuff: iron man, avengers, uncanny avengers, AvX consequences and FF.
 
Guys. Batman #13. Shit is fucked up but in exactly the right way. Snyder and pals fucking nail it. HERE IS AN INCREDIBLY ANCILLARY SPOILER THAT MAY ALLEVIATE SOME WORRIES AS TO HOW THE JOKER IS CHARACTERIZED BUT THAT HAS LITTLE TO NO IMPORTANCE ON THE INTRIGUE.
At one point, there's a giant mallet popping out of seemingly nowhere so, you know, it still has some jokes.

His miniseries?!? Lofl seriously what fucking planet am I on.

THIS. IS LONGSHOT.

Ann Nocenti's great and all but seriously, what is going on here. Read your history, my goodness.
 
So what're the changes coming to the X-Men titles following the Marvel NOW thing? The Marvel site hasn't really done much to clarify the situation for me.

All I know so far is:

- Uncanny Avengers (Remender, Cassaday)
- X-Men Legacy (Spurrier, Huat)
- Wolverine and the X-Men (Aaron)

I remember hearing Uncanny X-Men is dead? Or at least Gillen is leaving it? Which I guess would be the same thing.

How about the rest? Is Brian Wood still going to be on X-Men? Loved what he's done so far. Please tell me Remender is still doing Uncanny X-Force.
 
You have a very interesting philosophy of spoiler tagging.

The only thing that's a spoiler is funnily enough in the spoiler tag. The fact that Logan has a speech at the funeral is in the preview and Wanda being in the book should come as no surprise seeing she's on the cover.
 
Wolverine & The X-Men :(
Yeah, that was the one I definitely did not need to see. People reading the book are going to go nuts but maybe it's not as cut and dried as it seems given
his alien physiology?

God fucking damn @ Uncanny Avengers.
What the hell. I don't even know what to think.
What the flying fuck!
One word: Remender.

-Uncanny Avengers from Remender/Cassaday is the new Marvel flagship title, bridging the gap between Avengers and X-Men
-Uncanny X-Men is ending, to be replaced with All-New X-Men by Bendis/Immonen
-Wolverine and the X-Men will continue uninterrupted into its second year
-Brian Wood's run on adjectiveless X-Men ending after planned eight issues, series future in doubt(?)
-X-Men Legacy continues its numbering, drops Rogue to shift spotlight onto Xavier's son Legion
-New Mutants is ending with no replacement announced, several characters will end up on the Avengers
-Remender's Uncanny X-Force series is ending, and new Uncanny X-Force beginning with Sam Humprhies
-X-Factor possibly ending, no confirmation yet but #250 fast approaches and
the team is currently in the process of breaking up
-Cable and the X-Force, a brand-new series from Hopeless and Larocca
-Wolverine ending, to be replaced with Savage Wolverine from Frank Cho
-Age of Apocalypse, Astonishing X-Men, Gambit, X-Treme X-Men all continuing as normal barring future announcements

I think that's everything.

Interesting.
How about Scott Summers. And telling us exactly what Wanda does in the book.

I'd say those are spoilers.
