X-Men: Schism #2

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Here are some pages and panels from X-Men: Schism #2 that I enjoyed.

I consider this mini-event to be fair so far.

Enjoy!



The X-Men are dealing with the world-wide activiation of Sentinels.

I like this page because it makes sense for the X-Men to work this way and the part about Fantomex made me laugh.



It turns out that 75% of the sentinels are defective or malfunctioning. The new Hellfire Club saw to that.

Kitty and Rogue are in Iran to deal with a rampaging Sentinel.



Ha. You tell'em Kitty.

And Scott's ongoing bro-fist with Logan continues when Quentin Quire surrenders to the X-Men. Scott lies to Steve Rogers about having him. Insisting that Quire must be tried by a jury of his peers. Logan disagrees with the decision.



Emma slaps Quire's wrist, so to speak.



There is a Museum of Mutant History is opening in SF and Scott sends a delegation. Scott calls it a peace delegation, Logan, watching from a bar calls it something different.



Look at Emma's costume from the second to last panel and this one. Looks like Emma decided to have a "show of force" of her own. :D

I thought that Colossus and Namor were holding hands for a second there.

And now I'm disappointed. ):

[cypherfdp]

Isn't Colossus the Juggernaut now or something?

[lucky_gamble]

You're not alone. I did a double take then got sadz

[lucky_gamble]

Two questions....what power is Rogue using? Wasn't Kitty in perma-phase? The things one misses when they swear off comics for two months.

[shadowpsykie]

Wasn't Kitty in perma-phase?
they fixed her ;D

oooh sexy jason..... *drools*

having inappropriate Jason/Prison Fantasies....

[lucky_gamble]

[shadowpsykie]

.also i noticed you went on a comic buying binge huh

a little... I'm still on a comic con high....

also dont know if i said it before, love your Daken slash Icon too :D

[proteus_lives]

Flying and super-strength?

The real question is who she brushed up against to get them.

[starwolf_oakley]

I wonder if Kitty and Not!Ahmadinejad will have a discussion about White Privilege.

[long_silence]

It kinda looks like she's using Cannonball's blast field to me.

[proteus_lives]

On second thought, I agree.

Good catch!

[lucky_gamble]

have to agree. it isn't so much super strength as it is "blast through its head without a scratch"

[lucky_gamble]

the best kind of high =p and thanks you kind sir

[proteus_lives]

I'd say it would be a discussion between a superhero and a piece of crap.

[darkknightjrk]

I'm not sure if I like the way Cho draws Cyclops (I know he's "Slim," but dude looks like a walking skeleton).

Everything else is awesome, though. I especially love Kitty pwn'ing Ahmadinejad, Cyclops standing up for Wolverine, and Emma making Quentin soil himself. XD

[paultmd]

Not really and not yet. He apparently makes some kind of deal with Cyttorak in Uncanny but that that hasn't happened yet, is tied to Fear Itself, and I haven't seen anything to indicate that it continues beyond the end of Fear Itself.

Not to mention that we'll probably have to wait until the end of Fear Itself to figure out where Juggernaut's story fits in, since he's been seen in three different places in a single week's worth of comics.

Rogue really needs a visit to Edna Mode. Either her scarf is going to catch on something or her breasts are going to pop out of her top because her zipper unzips.

[mullon]

Next Kitty should phase her hands through his body so he'll feel all dirty inside.

Also, I'm not sure it's the best writing to have Scott and Logan suddenly all super chummy right before they break up. Makes it less believable, given their history.

For serious, I did a double-take at the first panel of that third page. He looks like a matchstick!

Love the inking and colouring, though. It's very pretty.

[long_silence]

Well one of the silhouettes of the post-Schism Uncanny X-men team had someone who kinda looked like he was wearing the Juggernaut helmet. Could have been Cain himself or Colossus. My favorite theory so far has been that it's a resurrected Onyxx.

And I think you can kinda track Juggernaut's story geographically since for the most part he's been traveling on foot. He started off on the Raft (in New York) and moved through Chicago while fighting with the Thunderbolts. And then he got to Las Vegas and fought the Nevada Initiative team. And now he's made his way to San Francisco and is fighting the X-men.

[sherkahn]

While most of the art looks good, Cyclops is starting to LOOK like an old man now.

[darkknightjrk]

You know what he really looks like? Christian Bale in The Machinist.

[darkknightjrk]

"I said no capes!"

"But it's a scarf--"

"It could have fooled me, darling."

[rainspirit]

Considering their long history of enmity, I'd agree, but I think it's too much fun to see them actually existing in a mutually cooperative friendship of sorts. Cyclops has Logan's respect despite being a gruff codger and Scott appreciates Logan despite being a bit of a straight edge stick-in-the-mud. It's nice to see heroes just... acknowledging each other's strengths, if only for a little while before a bad writer comes along.

[darkknightjrk]

Well, it's not like they've been at their throats in a while. A few tiffs aside, they've been pretty solid bros since at least New X-Men.
