I'm just gonna wince at how out of character Elixir is right here.

Is anyone's head properly aligned with their neck on that cover?

[shadwing]

I don't think so...and Emma is part Diamond...didn't think diamond was that flexible….

Dear God, Land just looked up the Cuckoos and said "Score! I can do three characters in one panel with one trace!"

[beyondthefringe]

The Land artwork in that sequence was truly terrifying in places.

So many butt shots.
Emma in her underwear.
So many porn faces.

So are Scott and Logan both alive again?

[shakalooloo]

This is from before they died, before their Schism even.

[lordultimus]

This is from a few years ago.

If this happened today, I'd imagine the now-alive Jean (both of them, in fact) would have something to say about Logan keeping a lock of her hair.

[scorntx]

This was nine years ago.

... but to answer the question, Logan has been alive again since last summer.
Scott is still dead.

[nightauditguy]

Well old Scott is dead, young Scott is still alive

[lbd_nytetrayn]

He has? Weird, seems like there'd be more... I dunno, just more.

How'd he come back?

[long_silence]

They first teased his return with teen Jean finding that he was no longer in his metal cocoon, and then they teased it further by showing that he was somehow in the possession of the Space Stone last year, he was supposed to be part of the current Infinity War event but he ended up pawning the stone off on Black Widow.
And then there were about a dozen "after credit scenes" at the end of various books about Logan just barely missing different heroes as they finished an adventure or mission.
He was watching Kitty and Colossus' wedding from a distance, but decided not to show up for the ceremony.

There was a oneshot detailing how the X-men found out that he was no longer in his grave/cocoon. That led to four different 4-issue Hunt for Wolverine miniseries about Logan's friends, family, enemies and Daredevil all going on separate missions searching for him since they found out he's alive. Not one of them actually succeeded in finding him, but they're all going to lead into another oneshot that somehow ties them all together.

That oneshot is going to lead into the upcoming 5 issue Return of Wolverine miniseries. At which point they'll finally explain how he came back and why he hasn't made contact with anyone.

So believe me they are milking his return for all its worth. And then some.

"That top makes you look low-class."

Er... I see what Matt is TRYING to do there, but... given Emma's sartorial history...

[icon_uk]

Emma would argue that whatever she wore was automatically high class looking, by simple fact of her being the one wearing it.

[ovaltinepatrol]

What kind of a monster would deprive Spiral of her helmet?

[icon_uk]

But they gave her extra fingers to compensate!

[zylly]

One thing I really liked about this era and the Utopia period that followed was that pretty much any X-person could show up at any time. Made it feel like a real community.

How old are the Cuckoos supposed to be? I had thought they were like 13 when Grant Morrison first introduced them and they seem like teenagers in the current X-23 comic, but Land and Fraction seem to be implying they are a lot older. It just seems really creepy here.

[arilou_skiff]

They were about the same age as the New X-men kids, no? So about Elixirs age.

[icon_uk]

I think they're the perpetual 15/16 of any New Mutants type team.

And asking Greg Land to draw adolescent girls is perhaps being a tad optimisitc.

[scorntx]

-they're the perpetual 15/16 of any New Mutants type team-

At least the Cuckoos have the justification of being literally ageless.
