you sure this is under 4 pages?

[flint_marko]

They're all cropped, but I got rid of one to be safe.

[salinea]

it looked a bit more to me, but it's hard to tell when they're cropped. As long as you're sure it's all right :)

[greenmask]

Pretty pretty pretty. I hope I can get my hands on some trade collections in future.

[thanekos]

A condom would also serve to prevent any more Genocide from an Apocalypse.

What the hell is the Skinless Man wrapping around Fantomex neck?

And I recall Farouk wearing a fez that seemed a bit small for him, but not THAT novelty part-hat small.

I wish they'd shift Shadow King out of Farouk, I thought he worked a lot better as a corrupting, bodyless, psionic entity. (He and Malice could date!)

[bruinsfan]

Is this a Farouk from an alternate earth? I thought that body died when Xavier first fought him.

[long_silence]

It could just be a new host body he's fattened up.

He did the same to Karma afterall.

What the hell is the Skinless Man wrapping around Fantomex neck?

Muscle tissue. He used to be able to manipulate his skin, use it like that, but Fantomax skinned him. Eventually, though, he figured out how to do the same with his remaining bits of soft tissue.

[icon_uk]

I guessed it was something like that, it's just... what it LOOKS like he's able to extend to strangle him... and I ain't talking a prehensile tail! O_o

[lascoden]

Well, he does have control over all of his soft tissue.

[protogarrett]

Skinless man?

(Also: Wasn't Sabretooth behaded. Then his soul beheaded in hell? And Mystique gutted and dead?)

(Also also: Love X-FOrce. Pretty art, too.)

[stolisomancer]

Sabertooth's resurrection is apparently being handled by a Jeph Loeb arc in Wolverine later this year, which I think we're all going to have to try to ignore.

Mystique was tracked down and killed, but the Hand subsequently bought her body on the black market and she was soon up and running around again.

[protogarrett]

The Hand is doing that a LOT in the MU it seems.

[auggie18]

Seriously, it's like they're dry cleaners. Except instead of dry cleaning clothes, they raise people from the dead. Just drop your dead on their doorstep and pick 'em up the next day.

[protogarrett]

Elektra
Northstar
Wolverine
Sabretooth
Mystique
(Gosh, lost of X-Men characters for the Hand not really ever having been one of their foes.)

Anyone else?

[salinea]

they actually failed to bring back Bullseye. But they were trying!

[zechs80]

An off shoot of their clan brought back Doc Ock.

[salinea]

Bring out your deads!

[auggie18]

Frankly, I think it's hilarious that the ridiculous lengths the comic went to to make sure Sabretooth was, and I quote, "not only merely dead, really most sincerely dead" didn't work at all.

[violetclm.livejournal.com]

Mystique, that's just indecent. Shapeshift yourself some clothes.

[auggie18]

Can't use a character for some reason? Grab an AoA copy! Nobody'll notice!


They should do more with AoA people in the 616. I'm reminded of a conversation from Exiles.

Nocturne: I can't believe you never had coffee before.

Blink: Hey, I'm from the AoA. I'm still getting used to toilet paper.

[shadowpsykie]

well i am glad mystique is back.... wish she saved her revenge for WOlverine alone.... dude deserves it...

[thatnickguy]

So when did The Shadow King go back to being corporeal?

I swear, you need like a flow chart or something to keep track of X-Men.

[starwolf_oakley]

Doesn't everyone blame Cassandra Nova for Genosha? And the Sentinels that did it were "wild Sentinels" that evolved and rebuilt themselves somewhere in a jungle for some years. That was an example of Grant Morrison's "magic mushroom" storytelling.

[bruinsfan]

Wait, Wolverine is still running around with Cyclops' black ops hit squad, even after splitting away to run the school?

[salinea]

It hasn't been Cyclop's back op hit squad since the start of Remender's run. Nowadays it's Logan's black op hit squad. Though I guess it started as Warren's black op hit squad, but then he went evil, so.

[darkknightjrk]

Logan and Warren were basically co-leaders, as I recall.

[capnduckman]

When did AoA blob move into 616?
