It's funny, I haven't read anything that's heavily featured Doop, and yet I absolutely love him. I dunno, maybe it's just the idea that something so nutty and adorable could have gotten into the picture. Perhaps some kind soul can post some awesome Doop-focused moments?

Also, I'm loving the Bradshaw art and hope he sticks around--I like Bachelo well enough, but his action sequences can be really hard to understand at times. Bradshaw looks a lot more clean and a more solid storyteller while still having a fun and semi-cartoony style.

	Bradshaw kind of reminds me of Art Adams, only without Adams' contemporary need to have everyone pouting with giant eyes. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	I thought this was Art Adams until I noticed the distinct lack of giant breasts. There seems to be a bunch of artists nowadays making a living off of aping familiar styles. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I wouldn't really call it aping. Bradshaw's got enough in there, IMO, that his style is his own, especially since Adams seems to have devolved into something of a caricature of himself in his latest Marvel work. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	-It's funny, I haven't read anything that's heavily featured Doop, and yet I absolutely love him. I dunno, maybe it's just the idea that something so nutty and adorable could have gotten into the picture.- That's pretty much Doop's role from the start :) Even when he's front and center, he's mysterious and weird and awesome like that.

	Best Deathlok to choose for that assignment. Since he started as part of an operation to banish all superbeings into another dimension, the Massachusetts academy being one of the places shown. So, yes, not all government machines want to completely kill you. Some start as people who want to get rid of you and then get turned into machines. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I was assuming the short haired woman was Rachel, but in the fifth panel it looks like the woman in the hoodie has Rachel's hound marks. Now I'm confused. (The next panel with hoodie-woman makes it look like her face is melting, so I really have no clue.) (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	I think the Regenesis oneshot where she and Sam chose to go to the school, Paige said that there was something wrong with her powers or she was losing control of them or something. She left flakes of her skin behind on a chair she was sitting on without intending to. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

I knew Kitty ironed her hair for the inspection.

Kitty honey, you've saved the world before breakfast more times than anyone can count. You don't have to apologize to anybody for anything, and you don't have to erase your curls.

On top of that, you're living in freaking New York City. The Mecca of curly girls, Deva Chan Salon, is just a short drive away. Get some help and curly sisterhood!

Heh, love Logan and Hank's dartboard.

Is this the first time we've ever seen the X-Men's school being run like an actual school?

	The overuse of a drug caused him to literally ascend reality and be broken apart into an energy form.

	Doop doing completely mundane things will never get old. There should be at least one panel per issue devoted only to that. Not thrilled to see Toad as the janitor though. Despite all the X-Men's talk of acceptance and equality, the ugliest people still get the shittiest jobs. Way to distance yourself from Magneto, Logan.

	It is pretty awful. But with how he has been snubbed all this time I'm wondering if it's on purpose to turn it all around later somehow. Especially since Toad seems to be genuinely trying to do good now. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Ah, Deathlok, what a way to show that the US government won't JUST build giant robots to try and kill you, but they'd turn you into a cyborg zombie AFTER they've killed you! Logan looks weird in this art style. Just so... unWolverineish. Like he's being done in the style of a Disney prince or something. Too smooth and dopey. (Reply to this)
