Uncanny X-men #524 preview

[sherkahn]

IGN has the fallout from the last issue where one of the X-men has gone into that revolving door called death.

Anyone know what album Peter is offering Kitty?

I think it's a DVD.

[punishermax]

It looks like somebody's shirt is getting pulled off on the cover leading me to believe it's porn.

Perhaps it's the rough cut of the homemade one he made with Kitty before she left. With a scene selection and a commentary track my Wolverine and Kurt.

Buy it today on amazon for the special price of $19.99. It's called "From Russia with Muff"

[ravenous_raven]

The positioning of the couple seems vaguely "Phantom of the Opera," but the guy's outfit and bared teeth makes it looks like a vampire and his lover...not...Twilight?

[digicom]

*squints*

Looks like a vampire flick.

Can we say "foreshadowing", children?

[katogekkani.livejournal.com]

I can here Colossus saying: "You like movie? Da?"

[mullon]

Where is Kitty's leg?

[northstarfan]

That's Karma. Kitty's the one in the tank.

[jlbarnett]

was that Karma with her leg cut off? And calling someone an ox.

[bj_l]

Who is the one-legged girl?

[icon_uk]

Karma

[rordulum]

They chopped Karma's leg off. How awesome cool! And edgy, too. Sigh.

And why, if they must insist on mutilating characters, is Forge not there, installing replacement limbs?

[sherkahn]

Last we saw Forge he was in some distant alternate-universe creating his own "mutants" in order to repopulate our own reality, as Wanda's "No More Mutants" de-powering extended across realities, not just 616.

[autumn_lily]

Magneto is just so nonchalant...it's weird.

[crabby_lioness]

No, that's Mags. He's been through Hell so often he gets to be nonchalant.

[crabby_lioness]

*reads the rest of the preview*

Damn, they found someone who can draw worse than Land. Why?

Never seen Logan so forlorn.

Continuity glitches, people. Peter was with Betsy at the end of X-Force, ready to head for Limbo. He wouldn't be in the lab offering to share a movie with Kitty five minutes later.

[northstarfan]

The Dodsons are usually a step up from Land, but yeah, some of our merry mutants do seem to have a case of Play-Doh face. Did they have Dodson doing the pencils and keep Land's inker?

[nezchan]

That small panel on the right needs a word balloon saying "I smell colours!"

[crabby_lioness]

That's Doctor Jeffries (Box), not Doctor Nemesis.

[bruinsfan]

Doctor Jeffries? I though he was a blue-collar mechanic with the power to telekinetically assemble machines?

[taggerung301]

"go after her, dummy"

That . . . doesn't sound like Emma
but maybe it's just me

[sethgray]

Seriously. It should be "Go after her, you witless ingrate" or something.

[slim-summer.livejournal.com]

Question: In the IGN preview, who's the one who is saying "bring him back?"

[ghosty732]

It sort of looks like the bubble is coming from Dazzler.

[slim-summer.livejournal.com]

Read the last page of the preview again, looks like Hope is about to get a crash course in Summers family history/tree...poor poor girl...

[nezchan]

I choose to interpret her "wow" and shocked look as "dude, that goes way beyond suck".

[northstarfan]

Am I the only one thinking that the variant with Scott holding Kurt looks ripe for captioning?

[spockfran.livejournal.com]

So let me get this straight Kurt just dies and Colossus runs all the way down to the basement to show kitty his new DVD.
Wow colossus really is an asshole.

[crabby_lioness]

Dodson couldn't be arsed to get the continuity right.

[colonel_green]

Obligatory Keanu Reeves joke about the final preview page's last panel.

[thatnickguy]

Hey, remember when X-Men wasn't ridiculously confusing with characters dying and coming back on a whim, not to mention personalities changing from issue to issue?

Yeah, neither do I. =p

[crabby_lioness]

*raises trembling infirm hand*

Yes I do, and it was better written then.

[shadowpsykie]

heh, that actually made me laugh

Karma is missing a leg, Kitty is in a tagibility shell, and kurt has an arm through his chest... yes magneto... you missed something :)

[crabby_lioness]

Never a dull moment!

[fionnualad.wordpress.com]

I get the feeling that Kurt's death is going to be all about Cyclops. And maybe Emma. Poor Kurt. He's the only guy who could do his own funeral properly.

[wonderwomanhero]

Aw, Psylocke looks sad. Maybe she will tell her brother in the U.K.?

[wonderwomanhero]

I mean...tell him about Kurt's demise?
