Can Coipel handle a monthly ? I don't expect him to make it past the first arc.

No one can, probably not ever again. He'll do an arc, someone else will do the next one, ad infinitum.

Wood mentioned that he has been working on this series since late last year. but im guess he will rotate with someone

I think there are less artists that can handle monthlies than not. Hopefully they get someone just as talented to rotate. Someone like PHIL NOTO. He already draws the best Jubilee.
Plenty of artists can do monthly books. It's Marvel's 2-3 week schedule that they have going on half their titles that messes things up. Coipel is slow though. He could probably handle 8 issues a year.
EDIT: The big names are also constantly drawing covers for the extra cash it brings in. That doesn't help with speed.

That cover must also be some sort of record for the least amount of skin shown by a group of six women in superhero comics history
I hadn't thought about that, but you're right, and it's actually pretty awesome.

Phil Noto would be great but isn't he doing Thunderbolts after issue 3 ?

He is, but Brian Wood just said, "David Lopez would also be a great choice" when talking about rotating artists, so there ya go. He DID do the last X-men arc Wood wrote.

Not true. Some artists can handle it. Sam Basri did all 12 issues of Voodoo without missing a beat AND it was drop dead gorgeous to boot.

Who is the artist this month for Hawkeye? Isn't it someone different since this is the charity issue?

marko djurdjevic traded arcs with . and it was awesome.

There are two, one handling Kate's story and the other handling Hawkguy's story. Steve Lieber and Jesse Hamm.
I would dress up as Spider-Man or Leonardo.
Come on mang, I actually responded to that ish!

I'd be Batman. What? It comes with a trust fund.
Yup. But then again Cassandra Nova is one my favourite villains.
But man, seeing the other X-book with a all female cast is pretty cool. I enjoy what Marvel's doing with the X-Men during this NOW thing. Wolverine & the X-Men is still a lot fun, I actually enjoy Bendis at this point with All New X-Men... Cable's new X-Force, eh. I liked team Fantomex better.

Semantically speaking, it was always James "Logan" Howlett. Are you asking who was the most charismatic?

I think warren and Logan were suppose to be the "leader", but the book was clearly about Psylocke
I mean who called the shots, missions and plans of action. I'm thinking back on it, and it seems to of changed many times. I remember it going in this order:
- Archangel
- Logan
- Fantomex
- Psylocke
But then again, it seemed there was not clear cut leader. They would adapt to the situation and "wing" it from there. Fantomex seemed to always be happy being the field general in missions and letting the "leader" tag not deter him from taking command. I guess that's why I like it so much. At any time, even Deadpool could of probably lead the team into courses of action.

Yeah Wolverine and Angel were the leaders initially. Fantomex became the fan favorite of the group and Psylocke became the heart. Deadpool at times was the voice of reason.
Was it a build up issue? Or did it seem to hold up well on it's own?
I'm sorry, what now?
It sounds weird but it's true. Deadpool became a great hero/character in UXF. He saved the team many times and actually got them to think things through.
how have you made it this long without reading UXF!?

The fallout after the first arc he argued with Wolverine about how killing Kid Apocalypse and many other things in the legendary run.
Here it goes.
Reading too much other stuff.
What's everyone picking up this week? $3.99 books alone are breaking me. Hulk, Batman, Avengers, New Avengers, Black Beetle, TMNT. All $3.99. Saga is the only $2.99 book I'm picking up.
Personally I'm hoping for an omnibus.
Amazon Supposedly in April but that would still need one more trade for the conclusion.
I'm picking up New Avengers, Cap, Savage Wolverine. And I guess I could try Thor since people really like it.

Due to Marvel's absurd release schedule, I'm only getting All New X-Men #6 and New Avengers #2 this week.

Avengers is delayed to next week. Batman and New Avengers for me.
Those, All New X-Men and Avenging for me. I really need to start culling my list a bit, this is getting silly. Most weeks I've got like 3 or 4 books. That's with sharing books with a friend.
Awesome! I can eat lunch another day this week ;P

Too bad the story ended up being pretty terrible. I really wanted to like that book, too.
Wolverine was obviously the leader. But I think Fantomex was the main draw by the close of the series.
I've got a pretty light week (Batman, Saga, Elephantmen, Indestructible Hulk), so I think I may grab All-New X-Men #6 and see if I like it. As a friend of mine keeps singing its praises, and I do want to get back into a few X-Men titles.

It's definitely a buildup issue but it did a good job of setting the stage and establishing where all the pieces are after the battle of Yavin. Surprisingly Leia focused, which I think was a smart move. She's obviously at the centre of all the different story arcs.
Edit: Thinking about it some more, I'd say it's just as much Yavin aftermath as it is buildup for a future story.
Avengers and New Avengers by Jonathan Hickman are companion books. That combo + Young Avengers is all I really need.

Jim Zub takes the diplomatic approach. But somehow, I don't expect to see his name on a DC book anytime soon.

I don't even know who he is but those graphic novels on the side panel of his article look cool. Are they any good?
