Well, at least Anole's getting some face time in the book, and not just as a background character.

[sinisterlink]

Oooh, Proteus. He was always pretty creepy. That cover is really nice, too. I'm still sighing about the whole Magneto storyline because you know they are just going to turn him "bad" again. I'm starting to think he's bipolar or something with the way he switches sides constantly.

[schmevil]

Sounds like a Very Special X-Men issue in the making...

[kirayoshi]

Magneto...Bipolar...

Was that pun intentional?

And dare I hope that the top-secret story from Nation X involves Cyclops finally doing something about rescuing Kitty from that damn bullet?

[xdoop]

No, I think that's going to be dealt with in SWORD.

[sinisterlink]

Ha! No, it wasn't intentional, but it works out well, doesn't it? :D

And as xdoop said, they seem to be dealing with Kitty in SWORD. Plus I think Cyclops and the rest of the X-Men basically think that she is dead.

[kirayoshi]

I'm glad someone hasn't forgotten her. I swear, if someone asked Cyclops about her, he'd answer, "Kitty? Who is this 'Kitty' of whom you speak?"

I hope that if/when SWORD decides to take action on the matter, they at least tell Piotr. "Hey, Big Guy, we're going out to save your girlfriend, you coming with?"

YAAHHHH PROTEUS!!!!!!

The Venture Bros. did it.

[stig]

I can't take Magneto seriously anymore. Ever since "The Revenge Society", I can only equate Magneto as a villain with all the stature of that show's Fantomas, and I'd bet that it would make a lot of sense for him to make his Brotherhood play as back-up to his sousaphone practice. And I bet he'd be awful.

Re: The Venture Bros. did it.

[xdoop]

Are you just saying that because you don't like how Planet X got retconned?

Re: The Venture Bros. did it.

[stig]

...That too.

Re: The Venture Bros. did it.

[autumn_lily]

B-but! Look at that halo of karmic like goodness over him! Surely he is simply misunderstood her- yeah, I can't even keep that one up, sorry.

[hero_of_lallor]

I just want to read about Rogue and Iceman, what is this Necrosha stuff with nobodies?

[dorksidefiker]

Always remember: One person's 'nobody' is someone else's all time favorite character.

[unicornicopia]

I haven't followed X-men comics in a while, but isn't Beast supposed to be Cat-like? Or did I make that up?

[grazzt]

No, you're right. That's Dark Beast, the evil Beast from the Age of Apocalypse timeline. He never went kitty, for whatever reason.

[unicornicopia]

Thanks! You know, I feel like that should have been obvious from the fact that it's a cover for "Dark X-men" *facepalm*

[unicornicopia]

Thanks:)

[goblinthebamf]

it's his evil twin. no, seriously.

[unicornicopia]

Oh superhero comics, never change.

[kingrockwell]

Well, alternate time-line double, but that's essentially the same thing.

[freezer]

But he’s been up there for days plotting something that will rock the X-Verse to its core.

What? Again?

[goblinthebamf]

PROTEUS has returned and he is more powerful than ever!
oh fuck. :D

[sinisterlink]

Seriously. I remember the first time I ever saw Proteus was in the old X-Men cartoon, and I remember it because he used his powers on Wolverine and basically reduced him to tears. I knew he had to be pretty hardcore to accomplish that. :D

[cainofdreaming]

Yeah, you can say that again. More powerful than when he was basically reducing the world to abstract mathematical formulae? How are they going to fight that?

[bwhahahabeck]

Gotta say, the Proteus cover is rocking.

[unicornicopia]

Your icon is rocking.

[bwhahahabeck]

Ain't she gorgeous~

[proteus_lives]

Isn't it?????

I may have to buy two copies!!!

[newnumber6]

Unless Magneto's plotting somethign that reverses M-Day, and he succeeds, I don't care.

Which pretty much sums up my continued attitude to the X-books, with the exception of some individual stories (vaguely interested in some of the Nation X stories, but don't know if it'll be enough to get me to pick up the book, and New Mutants is the last comic I buy at the moment).

[long_silence]

That Dark X-men cover is beautiful, I love Mike Choi and Sonia Oback.

Sweet I knew that Muir Island meant Proteus! Though I could have sworn 616 Proteus was already resurrected in Exiles during M-Day. He killed a few of them and took over Morph.

I really like Armor, she has a great visual. I wish she appeared regularly in something other than Astonishing. And hopefully Anole isn't too traumatized by this latest jaunt to Limbo, that PTSD he got from the last trip nearly completely turned me off the character. And is it just me or are they actively trying to make Magik look like a crazy villainess?

[xdoop]

The Proteus in Exiles was from the House of M reality.

[long_silence]

But the House of M was 616, just warped by Wanda. At least isn't that what they said in a bunch of books?

[proteus_lives]

That always kinda confused me too. Plus Proteus wasn't really dead. It was kind of vague but he "left this plane".

[terrykun]

The positioning of Mystique's belt looks like some terrifyingly misplaced upper row of teeth for Norman. @_@

[timgueugen]

Magneto will shake the X -Verse to its core by getting a tattoo of a naked Jean Grey on his ass.

[okkult3000]

Danger's robot boobs freak me out for some reason.

[gunny]

I really need to get the issues with Magik coming back. I haven't a clue what's happened since the issue she returned and sucked all the kids into Limbo.

[lencannon]

The Uncanny cover makes me wonder if any of the meditative qualities Magneto possessed as Xorn still exist.

[xdoop]

Xorneto was an impostor.

[lencannon]

And Nightcrawler is really the two-dicked son of Satan.

[xdoop]

That's just as silly as making Magneto a drug-addicted Nazi.

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!

[proteus_lives]

Proteus!!!

My all-time favorite X-villain.

I'm doing a dance of nerdly-joy!

I have always thought that Proteus could be a great villain if used right.

Re: YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!

[proteus_lives]

Also, that Legacy cover is awesome!!!

[drsevarius]

wow

[fai_dust]

What happened? There is nothing in the entry.
