A vs. X #6

[amaresu]

Science!



If only the rest of the match ups had used fun logic like this.



I think this is how the match ups were actually decided.

That version of the Thing is so huggable it hurts. Just look at his widdle face in that second last panel!

[halloweenjack]

This Squirrel Girl vs. Pixie thing supports my own thesis that Slott himself has been under some sort of mind control or geas since the beginning of BND, because this is the sort of thing that the old Slott would have written.

[amaresu]

I think a lot of these people have been under mind control. This was perhaps the best issue of the entire event. Toad vs Jarvis! Havok vs Captain America with Havok winning because the X-Office said so!

Okay, the Jeph Loeb and Arthur Adams story sucked. Beyond the implication of an Ant-Man vs Lockheed battle.

BND nothing! Try 'Since Avengers Initiative.'

[halloweenjack]

I really wanted to like Avengers Initiative, but found myself buying it more out of a sense of duty of sorts. Plus, I liked how Gauntlet, Southpaw from She-Hulk and Grasshopper from GLA: Misassembled (all written by Slott) are all part of the same origin. But I wasn't that enthused about the art and it suffered from the taint of being connected with Civil War.

...Now I want a mini-series devoted to the science battles. Also, the ending of the Domino vs Rulk fight was actually pretty funny.

Domino Smash!

A vs X: Science Battle! I would buy it.

[shadowpsykie]

this has been the BEST issue of the frakkin series!

[althechi]

I'm surprisingly happy that the science panel contains mostly actual maths and science concepts...

[brooms]

bendis' verbal abuse one was my 2nd favorite after pixie/squirrel girl, i won't even lie.

[amaresu]

I can't help but wonder if they'll get in trouble for the Green Arrow line. It's a good line, but they might still get in trouble.

[icon_uk]

I dunno, these are great, but when the publisher approves such open mocking the mind boggling stupidity of their own majorly promoted crossover before the thing is even actually finished, it smacks of a degree of cynicism that surprises even me.

[amaresu]

I think, perhaps, it might signal that a lot of the writers knew how stupid and illogical the whole thing was, but were stuck with it.

[kusonaga]

I don't get the Rulk vs. Domino page. Did she shrink? That's not even remotely how her powers work.

[salinea]

She went super deformed chibi like it was '96 and she was an anime character, baby!

[sadoeuphemist]

I think it's a symbolic representation that when she turned around and bumped into him she set off a chain reaction nerve endings or whatever.

[espanolbot]

Da Vinci! :D I hope that they finally get around to finishing that SHIELD series.

[greenmask]

Boo on "makes me look fat".

Fun first page, though.

[theflames]

GOOD FUN!

I saw the science page on tumblr and couldn't stop smiling, it's like a clip from Mean Girls, WITH SCIENCE!

[pyrrhocorax]

BUT THE SCIENCE/MATHS ARGUMENT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AND ISN'T EVEN USING VERY ADVANCED STUFF okay I realise I'm expecting too much here

The Thing is so adorable here.

[chocochuy]

Why wasn't this used on the actual crossover? The Epic Science onslaught was made of all kinds of win and the Squirrel Girl/Pixie fight was sheer awesomeness with a cover of awesomeness and a filling of more awesomeness (and chocolate, why not?).

Oh Marvel, when will you be back at having fun-filled stories? Well, at least we got an adorable fight among 2 of Marvel cutest heroines.
