Oh God Carol looks ridiculous with that helmet. Blacked out figure lookslike Warmachine or maybe Cable to me.
Venom. Bet moneys on it.

Well they have to do something with him, I seriously doubt they'd kill Flash off.

That's a shockingly good guess. Now that you mentioned it I can't NOT see it.
The symbiote is from space afterall. Maybe they'll explore that more.

I don't understand how Marvel can see that Starlord costume and think it looks better than his old one. He looks like a West Hollywood version of Havok on Halloween night.

The most intriguing thing to come out of the Marvel solicits is that comic superstar Brian Michael Bendis is starting a new creator ownedproject with Michael Avon Oeming. I don't know, you just cant trust these brahs with three first names.

WatXM is ending and no YA 
I'm kind of glad some series are ending, I don't need my pull list going over budget with Silver Surfer and Ghost Rider in March.

Quick hits.
I thought Batgirl and Nightwing were cool this week but I'm a Bat/Gotham fan.
Superman/Wonder Woman was excellent. Helped that I watched Man of Steel on Bluray earlier in the day. I liked it even more the 2nd time around. I don't get the hate.
PS4 tonight! Probably read the rest of my comics leading up to midnight.

i'm okay with only buying one Aaron x-book, though i'm going to miss the schools cast of characters even though it's been over year since i really cared about them.

We can only hope Amazing X-Men will occasionally have appearances of QQ, Idie, Broo, Sharkgirl, Eye-Boy and Kid Apocalypse.
And Nick Bradshaw! I hope if Ed McGuinness needs a fill in artist it's him.

My god though Stuart Immonen this week. I love how All New X-Men is working as a book. Filtering the WatXM characs and the UXM characs now through the pristine lens of Immonen's character work.
Dude is the most versatile, and thus consistently best, living comic book artist.

I agree. The crossovers/Bendis ruined it. The circus arc was crap but everything else was fantastic.

I hate hate HATE how it says the Jean Grey School is... ending? I'm not even sure how that makes sense, and hope it sticks around as the base for the "Gold" side thats TOTALLY IN THE RIGHT. You've got Woods X-Men and Amazing that will presumably use it as a background, but yeah, what about the best new generation of young X-Students we've had since... to be honest, Jubilee and co in the 90's. Comparing Quire, Idie, Broo, Eye-boy et al to Bendis' terrible fucking creations is a joke, and yet their book continues unaffected. Let us also revel in dialogue that shames every page of Bendis' decompressed "well... hmm... y'know.... totally uncool!! sort of" shit:
Wolverine in general seems like he's about to be written out of the X-books altogether and be character assassinated for a straight year rather than let Aaron have had his positive spin on the character. He was telling some of the best Wolvie tales in ages in his book, but everyone else was just trucking along and fucking the character into a big deep hole from which there is no return. The Age of Ultron shit just paid no attention to current day goings on and shouldnt have been released due to its failure to launch when it should have. Anyone displaying Wolvie as a killer post UXF and Schism just werent up on the character much at fucking all.
I wonder how Stegman feels about being plonked on such a failing book after being big-time. I definitely don't read the enthusiasm from his image uploads in the same way he was about Scarlet and Superior.

Wow, really?
Such a shame it was in crossover hell for so long and that Bendis decided to use his superstar writer powers to stomp all over Aaron's face whenever he was trying to do something cool.

Stegman needs to be on 2099 at least. Cornell cannot get the characterization of Wolverine right and that's pathetic since it is so freakin' basic. What is with Cornell? Brah is so hit and miss. Bendis created X Men are pathetic, they are like Gillen Iron Man levels of bad. Where the fuck is my Angela book?I hate hate HATE how it says the Jean Grey School is... ending?

I am endlessly confused as to how there isn't a Spider-Men book coming out with who's running around and about to be in 616.
- Scarlet Spider
- Agent Venom
- Mania (Venom Girl)
- Spider-Man 2099
- some possible hinting at Steel Spider
- if Superior Spider-Man survives Peter's return
- Ultimate Spider-Man (Spider Boy? Miles Morales)
- Ultimate Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew Part 2: Peter Parkére)
and possibly even more knocking around. Yost and Stegman would be a dream team for such a thing. Instead Scarlet is going to be trucking with New Warriors and a bunch of Kids, and Thompson is possibly going into Space on his 3rd failed team assignment!
Its more the editorial trading that goes on behind the scenes. Bendis has the clear muscle what with his side of things being bolstered and mainly unaffected while Aaron has had to dance around shit since WatXM began. Now Aaron loses a book entirely, his side of the tale has been marginalised for... really bizarre reasons with Kitty leaving, and we're left with really shitty X-Books other than "off in its own world" Amazing.

Uhhh the writing wasn't the problem of the bad BotA chapters
i blame Bendis for everything, even faulty PS4s. For instance, Avengers vs X-Men was a "collaboration" in that everyone got pinned to a book that read like a crappy Bendis book.

Hey Hickman/Gillen issues of AvX were great....everything else was shit.
Aaron just needs to have books that don't get dragged into events.
Or get destroyed by Bendis X-books. Hoping WaTXM gets a new name and #1 after it with Logan no longer there.

New volume of Astonishing maybe? Although I don't know who'd run the school with Logan and Kitty both gone.
Goddamnit, Bendis.
Looks like Young Avengers is finished as well. Now we now why it wasn't solicited. Gillen says it's because it's the kind of comic that's written in seasons, and they might eventually come back for another run. Hopefully Marvel finds something for McKelvie to draw in the meantime.

Storm. Storm and the X-Men has a fantastic ring to it.
Also Mckelvie is looking to be the main artist on UA for right now, so that is where he has gone.
Feel bad for Stegman. Marvel using his talent to boost there shitty Logan book...
WHERE IS MY 2099 SOLO?
Come on.

Thank god. Gillen has been such a disappointment for Marvel Now. Good thing Uber and Three are great.

Supposedly the school isn't going away. I guess I'll choose to view this issue:
as Aarons "before it gets fucked with" epilogue before time. I genuinely loved the idea of Professor Logan, and am gutted editorial isn't letting it happen in favour of real cliche tired shit with the character (maybe even a pointless death). I'm concerned Amazing X-Men is going to be a limited run and just Aarons final "let me tell the fucking story I was leading up to, free of bullshit, then you can ruin it all" X-Exit.
Wait whats this about WATXM ending? Wolverine leaving the school?
The fuck?
Aaron and Remender are the last people that can write a decent (Professor) Wolverine.
Please don't take that away from me
Welcome to the X-book future: all Cyclops, all the time.

Aw, okay, so you dig other Snyder stuff? I feel you now. Yea haha, I guess maybe he just doesn't resonate with you. Speaking of rotworld, new trade is just about out! I won't ge tmy hands on it until christmas likely, but I'm mega psyched. I've dug both volumes so far, and it's such a buzz moment when
Buddy shows up at the end of volume 2
Fuck you, but also, fuck, you're right in saying Three is the fucking bomb.

That actually reminds me, I'm finally decided to try Snyder's Batman tonight. You guys weren't lying, this is pretty legit (still on volume 1).
Well, he was right.

Nobody is talking about this book brah. It's being overshadowed by Pretty Deadly and that's sad. Kelly Sue has never written a decent comic in her life, dat art though is schway.

I'm never entirely sure what Cyclops is supposed to be right about? Segregating mutants completely from society, winning equal rights or whatever from fearful demonstrations of absolute power, starting shit with governmental bodies all over the world and then not dealing with the fallout?
Chump even wants what Logan setup organically and successfully with majority support from the X-Men (and Xavier of course), but working out of an old abandoned death camp in the middle of nowhere and named after a guy he murdered and cant come to terms with.
Illyana's characterisation going from "totally psychotic and screwed up, time to turn my brother into a monster so he 'understands'" to "hey its just like old times Kitty! I miss my bro..." is also fantastic "sssssh, we dont need to explain why Cyclops side is the right one, we just hit this big red switch here!" storytelling.
I'm willing to give Pretty Deadly the benefit of the doubt until things actually happen. But Three, man, you'd think someone else would've run with the idea of "300, but with more fucked up actual shit from history", but nope.
