I haven't been reading X men books, but by Golden Celestial....are they referring to the one that was chilling in San Fran (who BTW was also in X Force this month)?

Because The Dreaming Celestial left Earth back during the short lived Eternals monthly. Unless no one is considering that canon.....

[drmcninja]

No, I was thinking that too. But Archangel is messing around with it right now, so maybe its in Tabula Rasa or something?

[cainofdreaming]

If the X-Men we’re looking for a chance to prove that they are earth’s mightiest heroes, HERE. IT.IS!

Oh for BLEEP's sake. Using Celestials as something you can fight, unless you go by Thanos, is totally missing the point.

[drmcninja]

I don't think they will literally fight them, I think thats just to sell the issue. Everything done with fighting the celestials either requires galactus, or they somehow talk them out of it.

[auggie18]

Okay, now I sorta want to read Wolverine and the X-men.


Whoa, that sentence made me feel dirty.

[crabby_lioness]

I know, but the school aspect is intriguing. Especially since it's a school apparently run by Logan, Kitty, and Hank. Kitty and Hank are moderately qualified, Logan less so. That has promise.

[valtyr]

I hope he teaches art.

[crabby_lioness]

Aaron's good at getting Logan out of his comfort zone.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

This would be the best page of anything ever.

ROOM 216. ART CLASS.

"Mr Logan, why do your watercolors all look like mud?"

"It's expressionism. And, like, apocalyptic."

"...you forgot to wash your brushes between colors, I think."

"Who's teaching this class, kid, me or you?"

[lencannon]

Come on, Quentin. Go back to your radical Mutant Fashion from New X-Men. This is just.... Silver Spoons, man.

[angelophile]

Oh god. Quentin you jerk.

I find myself irresistibly drawn to this book.

Meh...

[bewareofgeek]

OTOH, this has potential:

X-CLUB #1 (of 5)
Written by Simon Spurrier
Penciled by Paul Davidson
Cover by Nick Bradshaw
“WE DO SCIENCE!”
In the wake of SCHISM, the X-Men’s Science Team takes it upon themselves to make a gesture of goodwill on behalf of mutantkind and better the world…using SCIENCE. But just as construction of the X-Club’s state of the art space elevator nears completion, chaos erupts! And it appears to the world that mutants are to blame.

Don’t miss this new limited series that will surely change how you look at the X-Men and the Periodic Table of Elements FOREVER!

Say it with me, everybody...

FOR SCIENCE!

Here's where I'd put a Girl Genius scan if I wasn't on mobile.

There's always this:

Wooh! I loved the one-shot that came out a while back,

[rordulum]

When did Quentin Quire stop being dead? Or incorporeal or whatever it was.

And did anyone actually like him then, to actually want him to return? Except Jason Aaron, apparently.

[long_silence]

Schism #1. Apparently the new Hellfire Club figured out a way to fix him, and then they set him loose on the United Nations.

[icon_uk]

Given he's essentially another Phoenix, one has to wonder why that seemed like a good idea.

[angelophile]

He sorta seems to pop back when it suits him to troll people, basically. First time was during the Phoenix mini, I think. Then lately he returned and randomly decided that Martha the Brain/No-Girl would be his nemesis and tasked her with stopping him burning Utopia for shits and giggles.

He's just so... pathetic and awful that I can't help but love him.

[salinea]

Recently. As in, at the beginning of Schism.


Well, the Grant Morrisson fanboys liked him., I think..

[silverzeo]

I have to ask, is Quenton still a unlikeable jerk? I mean, he attack an open house, even Magento would say thats foul...

[crabby_lioness]

Quentin started Schism by attacking a packed United Nations Assembly. Does that answer your question?

[angelophile]

And before that he was back in the Nation X anthology mini, attempting to destroy Utopia unless his newly appointed arch nemesis No-Girl stopped him.

[proteus_lives]

Ok, I like those covers.

[big_daddy_d]

That Uncanny X-Men cover is pretty damn awesome.

[glimmung]

Does that giant celestial thumbs down make anyone else think of poor Aaron Stack?
