the Jean and Magneto thing, i have heard is a Marvel Editorial outlash against everything Morrison accomplished on his run. since he went and signed with DC, marvel brass decided to piss on all his ideas. it turns out, Magneto did not kill Jean, and was hence not killed by Wolverine. instead, it was some imposter (according to Claremont's Excalibur) who has yet to be named. i think its stupid, but Marvel has been slowly undoing everything that was remotely unique about Grant Morrison's run. i agree. that was very stupid on thier part, but i guess they had enough about Morrison raping fanboy's childhood. the comments that i have read about at Newsarama and other sites is "these aren't the characters i grew up with!! no costumes?? Blasphemy!!!". you're right bloodcat, fanboys keep the story from moving or the characters from evolving. and that sucks, since there is so much more they can grow.

i've been debating whether to pick up this title. is it really that good? how is it compared to wolverine: the end? (if you've been reading that series that is) its worth a look. in my opinion its awesome. if you wanna check out the first issue, risk free, go here. . i am liking where chris is going with this. plus, hes got 18 issues to tell the story, which is great. well worth a look. Spoilers on issue 2 Claremont gave me my gravy already, and its only issue 2!! Rogue and Remy are married!! i am overjoyed they are still together, and Chris undid Austen's dumb ass "Blind Remy" storyline. they are honestly my two favorite characters.

i think Origin has Wolvie born sometime in the late 1800's, so 120 is probably more like it. he has, in some form or another, served in WW1 and WW2. read X-men: The end. its honestly Claremont's best work i have read in years!!!

Unfortunately, Marvel sometimes suffers from whatever illness the Fox network suffers by canceling it's best books. The Alias series was great (no relation to the Jen Garner show) but it was canned. I just hope this wasn't due to a Disney/ABC prevention. They've done that with so many more titles I've lost count. unfortunately, that was ALL Bendis. he was the one who decided that the Alias book didn't need to continue, even though it was the best book out there. Bendis decided that he could tell better stories within the "Mainstream" Marvel continuity and use "bigger" names, such as Spidey, with The Pulse, which also stars Jessica Jones. DC is guilty of the same thing, though. they cancel great books while promoting the hell out of crappy ones. they canned Wildcats 3.0 because of low sales, even though it was one of the best and most critically acclaimed books out there.

yeah, but Marvel has been pimping out wolverine for years. at least back in the early 90's, he was on the Blue team and that was it. of course, he was doing guest shots for many of Marvel's books, including his own solo book. now, hes on 3, soon to be 4. the fact is, people keep buying books because wolvie and/or spidey are making guest shots on them. marvel knows it will sell, so the editors allow it. what can consumers do? don't fall for it. buy Y: The Last Man, Fables, Queen and Country, The Losers, or Sleeper. there are plenty of good books out there that are not conventional superhero fare and are AWESOME. yet they don't sell well, while every piece of sh!t with wolvie or spidey on the cover sells like crazy. you wanna know something wierd? i hear Austen's run on Action comics for DC is pretty good. even from people that hated the X-men and Avengers stories he penned. Damn Austen. he Blinded Remy...

yep, but she was a very popular one. My fave X-men are Remy and Rogue and they aren't the cornerstones that Jean, Scott and Magneto are. if nothing else, like you, i commend them for doing it.

Jemstone, Betsy Braddock is dead, or so they say, and probably will stay that way for a while. Bendis is good, but not great. i think Brubaker, Stracinzski, Willingham, Vaughn and Diggle are all better. my only gripe with Bendis is the decompression. lots and lots of talking, little forward plot progression. its starting to wear thin on Ultimate Spiderman, but its still a pretty good book. Powers, on the other hand, is awesome. Marvel is leaning on him way too much these days, and i think its gonna hurt them, but so far, its not too bad. considering Marvel's wonderboy was Chuck Austen up until the day he left, i think Bendis is a WAY better writer and i'll let it ride on this guy for a bit, considering Claremont (who's talent has been faltering lately with his Gen13 and Xtreme X-men) is still writing TWO flagship titles, Stracinzski is writing ASM, and Bendis is only writing the Avengers. Austen, at his height, wrote New X-Men, Avengers and Uncanny X-men. its a pretty fair trdae off.

if those are your powers, you sir, are no mutant. you sir, are a god!!!

Apocalypse was the first mutant.

this, in my opinion is fricking stupid. thats what, FOUR teams wolvie is on?? apparently even Chris Claremont was dismayed at this news. 1. Uncanny 2. Astonishing 3. Adjective-less 4. avengers??? same with Spidey, the guy has three other solo books with MK Spidey, Amazing and Spectacular?? oh well, its Bendis, so i'll probably at least check out a few issues. The Avengers Disassembled story is looking good. issue 500 kicked all kinds of ass. Captain America is gonna be written by Ed Brubaker, and that guy rocks too ( if you don't read Sleeper or Gotham Central, you should be!!). looking forward to that and the thunderbolts.

i think everyone has lost sight of this. one person in the DCU can take out each and every superhero. Hal Jordan, Aka The Spectre. Sure, Wally can out run lots of things, Bruce is a super strategist and Clark is the strongest being alive. but Wally can't out run the eternal spirit of vengance. bruce can't out think it. clark isn't even in the same league. The Spectre cleans up. no contest. Bow Down. BTW, Identity Crisis is freaking great. Watching Slade take out some of the big guns is just freaking awesome. its a great read, if you're not, you shoud definately check it out.

welcome aboard!! i would highly recomend a 1/48. these things are awesome. tey may be a little more, but they are worth it!!

anasazi37's work is outstanding. I got the stickers for my Low vis from him, and they look great.

Read Identity Crisis #3. he sure does.

that was Barry Allen, i think. Wally West is extremely fast and i don't think Supes could beat him in a race.

Why is Dick Robin 2? He's 1 unless you're counting a Pre-Crisis something. my bad. correction noted. i was typing too fast.

there are only two Alien movies......right??

the Teen Titans book out now is so incredibly awesome. Geoff Johns is kicking all kinds of ass on that book. the story that just wrapped is one in which Raven is brought back by Brother Blood, who is now a vampire (!), and one thats coming up will be a cross over with The Legion of Super Heroes, and deciding where Superboy really belongs in the 21st or 31st centruy. For a look at the old school Titans (Speedy and Robin 2), check out Judd Winick's Outsiders. since giving Kyle the boot, Jenny Hayden (aka Jade) has been hanging out there and butting heads with Roy (aka Speedy, aka Arsenal) and Dick (Robin 1, aka Nightwing). good stuff. while i'm pimping comics here, definately check out Birds of Prey, a wonderful book that kicks all kinds of ass, Written by Gail Simone and Drawn by Ed Benes.

i believe that the books are an adaptation of the comics.

there was nothing wrong with the original Dark Horse plot for the AVP comics. why mess with that plot. okay, sure theres no Colonial marines in it, but it would still have been great. Adding Colonial Marines would have made it an oscar contender.....

Fixed. haha, batman is so over rated. superman could just stand on the moon and obliterate them all with heat vision. Green Lantern has the most powerful weapon in all the universe. he would 0wn all these fools, be he Kyle, Hal, John, hell even Guy Gardener could whup some ass.

its a smirk, not a smile.... C'mon DC!! when am i gonna get a Legion of Super Heroes animated series!!!

Predator almost beat Arnold. Arnold > Predators > Aliens Preds will win... and all the non-Arnolds will lose. thats only because Michael Beihn is not in this movie....

sweet. that means that any GL's in the Smallville continuity will probably be Kyle Rayner.

nah, because then Val Kilmer would be Max.
