No word on whether Tinkerbell is her mom.

Some news regarding writer Kathryn Immonen's next project, a miniseries in the X-Universe focussing on Pixie, as well as two scans from a past issue of Uncanny X-Men.

Immonen on "X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back":



I have a theory that all the various group editors at Marvel (and DC) have a wheel in their office with a bunch of minor characters on it; every month or so, they spin the wheel and whichever character it lands on gets a "we don't expect this to make much money, but whatever" miniseries.

Immonen's various Hellcat stories have been cute; I haven't followed her work on Runaways. She seems to be the current Female writer at Marvel. Possibly Joe Quesada feels the need to commission at least one comic a year that he can give to his daughter. Though given that Immonen seems to be saying that Pixie's father is Holocaust, this may not be quite as silly as Patsy's Alaskan escapades.

Of the four supporting girls, two of them are Pixie's roommates in San Francisco. Their first meeting was a bit awkward, though:

I'm so glad she has a mini which will not be parasited by Wolverine, Jerklossus and Nightcrawler.
I just hope Immonem will write a Pixie a la Kyle&Yost.
Also, Mercury having some spotlights is allways a good thing.

So, what X-men villain is eight foot tall and yellow?

This one?

Outside shot: Big Bird. The X-Men's deadliest enemy.

Hello no!

Its the long-awaited X-Men/Bob and George crossover!

The X-Men battle the Yellow Demon, hijinx ensure, the authors all pop in and use their quasi-magical powers to cover up any plot holes... because their aren't any *shifty eyes* and at the end, they undo One More Day.

[crinosg.insanejournal.com]

Only one I can think of is Mojo.

[jlbarnett.insanejournal.com]

Sabretooth might qualify

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Etrigan?

The conflict would be awesome... with Pixie trying to rhyme on the spot as she fights him.

[arilou_skiff.insanejournal.com]

Is Etrigan that tall? Isn't he usually depicted as pretty short? I guess it's partially from being hunched down, but I seem to recall Batman being able to look down on him, at least some of the time.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

To be true, no he's not, though he is 6'4", he was just the first yellow supernatural being I could think of, and I thought it would be a fun dynamic.

[kaileighblue.insanejournal.com]

It sounds as though the being behind what Pixie and her pseudo-sisters endure in “X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back” is in fact the title character’s father. And in addition to not being dead, he just so happens to be an established X-Men villain. Is there anything you can tell me about Pixie’s dad?

Pixie’s father is 8 foot 2 inches tall and bright yellow. Damn. I just gave it away, didn’t I?"

Really? :|

Assuming she's kidding on the appearance. (Mojo!)

[vignettelante.insanejournal.com]

"Totally buying Hisako is as cool as she's playing it." Heh.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Um, why is there blood in her hair/towel ?

[zippthorn.insanejournal.com]

Maybe it's that time of the month?

She had a fight, of course.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Does she have an adamantium claw that pops out of her head ???

[danielolsen.insanejournal.com]

My only theory regarding this would be that she can't figure out a washing machine and just reuses whatever towel lying around.

[halloweenjack.insanejournal.com]

Arterial spray getting in her hair, is my guess.

[mugiwara.insanejournal.com]

Precision: she had an X-Force fight.
You know, the kind of fight Cyclops insisted it should be a secret, even for their X-Men teammates.
So, after having some Purifier blood bath, instead of taking a shower in X-Force's "HQ" (one of Warren's houses), she came back to Graymalkin Center, took a shower and put her bloody towel in front of Miss Gossip.
That's the only way great writer Matt Fraction could figure for Emma to discover about X-Force.

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

Yup. Pixie went and told Frost, and Frost got curious where certain mutants were at certain times. she suspected Scott was running some ops behind her back.

[neuhallidae.insanejournal.com]

The sheer level of brilliance is stunning.

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

Wolverine really gets into his noogies and forgets about the metal in his hands. Ouch.

[arilou_skiff.insanejournal.com]

She cuts herself.

Seriously, she does that.

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I figured too. I mean, she does it even when she's THINKING IDLY.

[xlineartx.insanejournal.com]

Eee! This could be fabulous. Please, pleease, make it fabulous.

[statham1986.insanejournal.com]

That scene with Pixie and X23 just bothers me, because it shows that Fraction paid zero attention to anything that happened in the previous run on New X-Men. Given some of the crazy shit that Megan's been through, I highly doubt that some blood on a towel would shock her, especially when it comes to someone like Laura, whom she knows isn't exactly a normal kid, even by mutant standards.

Still, plot-device-orama. Hopefully Immonen can do something interesting with Pixie other than make her a Dazzler groupie and rock the porn-face every so often.

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

I didn't think Laura doing that was strictly plausible, but it was a cute joke.

[mykie1234.insanejournal.com]

Holocaust! Good one! I read that interview and racked my brain but couldn't find someone to fit the description. That is pretty random but it makes her related to Chamber.

[arilou_skiff.insanejournal.com]

So we're looking at a 616 version of Holocaust here?

[mykie1234.insanejournal.com]

Oh! Your right! It would have to be a 616 version since the age of apocalypse version wasn't in 616 that far back!

Either that or it's Mojo.

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

Can't be Mojo, she'd have to have only three fingers.

[mssolo.insanejournal.com]

Because everyone knows everyone in Britain knows each other! XP

[mykie1234.insanejournal.com]

Haha. No I meant that being the daughter of Holocaust would make her a descendant of Apocalypse and so is Chamber. Though it does make it seem that there is a very small mutant gene pool "across the pond"!

[angelophile.insanejournal.com]

Across the pond? With mutants in general. Chamber, Apocalypse, Blink, Holocaust, all related, Nightcrawler, Mystique, the Guthries, the Summers, Lorna and the Maximoffs - honestly I wish they'd just stop with the "all mutants are related" schtick already.

[mssolo.insanejournal.com]

I know what you meant, I just figured Marvel probably thought having everyone related would be good. Wonder how long before Pete Wisdom ends up in the family?

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

Shit, someone got to my idea for a Marvel miniseries before I could somehow do it. And it wasn't suppose to star Pixie, it was suppose to star all of them. Well, it's still missing Shadowcat.

[sinisterlink.insanejournal.com]

Hrm. I hope they don't forget the fact that in that free comic book day issue with Pixie in it that they made a big deal about the fact that her father had died in a mine accident. I mean it could have been her stepfather, but still, I hope they don't just randomly forget about that point.

[kaileighblue.insanejournal.com]

You see. That wasn't her real father. Because losing a father isn't enough angst, Pixie will find out that her mother is a whore and/or mutant groupie that screwed a bad mutant and had a mutant baby.

She finds this out because the bad mutant kills her mother and goes all Vader on her. Then she dons a hello kitty mast and becomes the Pink Knight.

I wish I even knew if I was being sarcastic.

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

This sounds like it could be really, really awesome.

Although I miss my flat bubbly pixie D: !

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

All childlike characters are the first to be GrimDarked.

[scarlettwyst.insanejournal.com]

I love Kathryn's writing, and that Stuart cover is awesome. I will buy this.

[distantantennas.insanejournal.com]

Nice to see Ruth and Cessily about too, although given that they're the more minor characters here, why do I think we should be worried about them?

[dabble-boy.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

Well Ruth is a Whedon character so I slightly suspect they would want to keep her around to play nice and have him go back to them. Plus she's a handy plot device if they remember she exists. (Same with the Stepford Cuckoos...)

All the ex-New X-Men characters seem doomed to me though. (They have so many young female mutants left relatively but I'm slightly concerned for all the ones that aren't part of this line up. Does that mean they're already dead?)
