Scott's Uncanny X-men #1 preview

[sherkahn]

ComicbookResources has the preview as Regenesis begins to unfold, and Scott's team has a serious dilemma.

No, not the villains. It's the what Emma thinks.





Call in the BIGGER boys?

Scott, this is Emma telling you you need to step up your game in the bedroom.

Gillen stop trying to make me ship Namor/Emma; I may... err, actually end up shipping Namor/Emma? damn.

[jaybee3]

Well Emma's going to have to have other options when Jean DOES come back, right? And with Marvel that's just a matter of time.

[icon_uk]

So let Jean and Emma get together, whilst Scott and Namor explore their... diplomatic boundaries together...

[lultam]

Everybody wins!

[auggie18]

Pfft. Like Wanda would ever let Emma touch her girl.

[salinea]

Threesome then?

[shadowpsykie]

Three somes solve EVERYTHING

[big_daddy_d]

Who says Jean will be with Scott? Seriously with how things ended and then Scott shacking up with Emma when her body isn't cold. Yeaa...I'm actually hoping they don't get back together. That and if that was the case Jean and Scott would be all about each other and sorry that's just nerve racking, let them grow.

[sinisterlink]

Honestly, I will rage so hard if Jean comes back and they put her and Scott back together. Scott's always had a bit of the wandering eye and the whole "affair" with Emma made me want Jean to dump him for good and finally move on. Especially when Scott had his ridiculous defense where he was saying, "We weren't having an affair, it was just in our heads!" to a TELEPATH. Hello, Scott, you and Jean had a psychic bond for God's sakes, you know that stuff isn't "just in your head" for people who are telepathic. Idiot. Honestly, while in recent years I haven't really liked a lot of things that Scott has been doing, I don't hate him or anything, but I do think that Jean is too good for him. Heck, I think Emma is too good for him, too.

[wizardru]

Scott only gained a wandering eye when editorial decided to screw him over again and again. Scott's one of the few on-screen characters who spent more than single issue or panel actually honest-to-goodness MOURNING his dead love. Back when she was THE big character death.

Then Claremont had him fall in love with a surrogate, Maddy Pryor. That was going to play out...but then Marvel decided to bring Jean back so they could do X-factor. And since it was a rapid decision, they did it by essentially turning Cyclops into a massive dickhead who abandons his family with virtually no angst over the choice.

Marvel then recemented this concept for a while and then Morrison came on board and decided to shake up the status quo by having Cyclops cheat on his wife psychically while being seduced by Emma who was dressed as Jean? Whuh?

Cyclops used to be one of my favorite characters...but Marvel seems determined to make him a bad guy. But then, that's the same path his mentor was forced to walk, so I don't know why I'm surprised.

[schmevil]

No, Scott has a wandering eye. It doesn't matter if it was editorial mandate, or a writer's disdain for the character--his history is what it is. He cheated on Maddy with Jean, and on Jean with Emma. It's in character for who the character is today.

[darkknightjrk]

God DAMN IT, now I want to get this too!

On a slightly unrelated note: Namor's last name is Mckenzie? Man, no wonder he never mentions it.

[icon_uk]

There's nothing wrong with a good Scottish name like McKenzie thank you verra much.

[grazzt]

He just doesn't want anyone to know about his cousins, Bob and Doug.

[lieut_kettch]

I know them! They're with Alpha Flight, right eh?

[northstarfan]

...don't make me go over there, man.

[kamino_neko]

Certainly isn't.

Although MacKenzie is a far better name. (Guess how my family spells it.)

[brooms]

she does say it's scott who is desiring the bigger boy

[long_silence]

Colossus looks really awful without hair.

[drmcninja]

Agreed.

[abriel]

Still not remotedly interested in X-Men but I still think it'd be a good thing for Emma to get together with Namor. She's too good for Cyclops and he'll only end up breaking her heart the moment Jean comes back anyway.

[rainspirit]

Those are some comely sea-maidens that Namor is floating around with. HMM. :3

[grazzt]

"It's good to be the king."

[cainofdreaming]

I've kinda got my reservations about that. I mean, if you really have to have a tentacle monster for a throne...

[grazzt]

It may look nasty, but it gives great massages.

[icon_uk]

"For 5 minutes in the "Magic Tentacles" chair, please deposit 10 clams"

[icon_uk]

"I admit that in the past I've been a nasty,
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a king
But you'll find that nowadays, I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, prepared to... swing!"

[grazzt]

Nah, if any Marvel character were going to get a "Poor Unfortunate Souls" parody, it would be Mephisto.

[bruinsfan]

I thought Emma couldn't use her telepathy while she was in diamond form?

[auggie18]

That's been so massively inconsistent since day one, I'm not sure who remembers and who doesn't.

[glimmung]

I think she is changing back back in the one panel.

[sherkahn]

She seemed to be shifting back to normal as she sent her message.

[baihu]

She might have shifted and that's just one REALLY oily forehead.

[zenbro]

I think she's shifting back, as well. hence the "cover me." Indestructible people don't really need coverage.

[cainofdreaming]

Please tell me that wasn't an actual Celestial that Mr Sinister converted into his doomsday device. I'm willing to nod and smile to even the most outrageous lies here.

[sherkahn]

The very same one Archangel just got the Death Seed from. Yup.

[drmcninja]

And the one that isn't even supposed to be there anymore anyways. Way to go, Marvel.

[kirke_novak]

Namor is wearing way too many clothes these days *reads Marvels* Ah, much better.

[fifthie]

It's a shame because Namor's one of the few characters for whom "as little as possible" just totally works, characterwise.

[zukahnaut]

Oh Namor. Never change.

[valismedsen]

Hi Mr Sinister. Looking good there. Death really was good for you!

[proteus_lives]

No matter what the emergency is, Namor will turn it into an opportunity to find a powerful blond and tap that ass.

[baihu]

Only Marvel could make the power of telepathically summoning fish this sexy.

[sinisterlink]

Ugh, I am so sick of the Namor/Emma thing. Honestly, one of the main reasons I don't like it is just because it makes Namor look bad. Most of the time something with them pops up, it makes Emma look good because she's all, "No, I will not sleep with you, because I love Scott" while Namor is just harassing her like the world is going to end if he doesn't get into her pants one more time. Frankly, it's making him look pathetic, like some little dog that's following Emma around trying to hump her leg whenever he can. He's never come off as being this desperate before, even with Sue, who has been his main obsession like forever. The way he keeps propositioning Emma is just very....unNamorlike as well. I think my jaw nearly hit the floor when I was flipping through that one issue of Uncanny during the Fear Itself thing where Namor showed up at Emma's and basically said, "We're all probably going to die, so I've come to have sex with you." And then when Emma once again did her whole, "I'm with Scott" thing, Namor started going on about how Scott must not really love her because he "married the redhead" but won't marry her. Which I found hilarious since, I mean, how many freaking years of comics with Jean and Scott dating did we have before they FINALLY got married? But apparently Scott doesn't love Emma since he hasn't instantly proposed. Right.

.....Well, I went off on a nice little rant there. For those who didn't want to read the whole thing, to summarize, I don't like Namor/Emma. :p

Honestly Namor, go back to hitting on Susan. It's much more fun to watch her shut you down.

[ficticons]

Hmm. I hope Namor's just making a sort of joke (pun?) when he replies "Yes, my Queen" to Emma's summons.
