awww, poor Spoonsy's fav lil character has some competition.

don't fret Spoons... me thinks Storm really isnt qualified to make that call

[UraniaChang]

Who cares what she said or not said?

Besides, Nezhno would probably die just by demonstrating he's stronger than Colossus, seems pretty pointless imo.

[Manic]

That's a good point, actually. Neznho is a pretty cool character, but he's one of those people who can't use his powers without slowly dieing. Everytime he uses his strength, he gets that much closer to having a stroke. He makes Guido look blessed, really.

"Gentle" should see what Colossus' face did to Rockslide's hand in Manifest Destiny last month

You read comics but don't care about what the characters say?

He sure would die

He didn't get outrageously big in the last World's apart. Maybe he's trying to slow his death. Don't blame him.

They better not be getting rid of Nightcrawler!

[UraniaChang]

Claremont with any female character will never get a cent from me.

Thank Heaven I'm no fan of any female characters who might be seized by him.

[OutcryX]

that is such a lame copout for getting rid of nightcrawler

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha, way to keep us from completely forgetting/stop caring about about Betsy

Um, where the F does Kurt think he's going?

[JustABill]

Kurt leaving because of Pixie is the stupidest reason ever.

[The Englishman]

**** Pixie, shes one of the worst characters ever!!! Nightcrawler can come over to MI13...

[OutcryX]

I liked Pixie better when she was a much better character named Blink

I'd start reading the book then for sure

You should be reading it anyway, it's a great book....

[Manic]

I sorta like Pixie, but she's not "replace Nightcrawler" quality. As I said in another thread, there's plenty of power redundancy in the X-Men. Nightcrawler leaving because of Pixie is like Colossus leaving because of Armor.

Personally, I hope they come up with a completely different reason for Nightcrawler leaving, and "they still need a teleporter" was the only thing that kept him from leaving. That I could accept, although I'd still be pissed that he's leaving.

[OutcryX]

sooo, Predator X is coming back? i kinda like that

[UraniaChang]

Wonder how it manages to survive without eating one mutant for this long (since MC anyway).

[Manic]

You'd think it would've made its way to San Francisco by now. The strongest concentration of mutants alive are in SF. Also, there's the handful in Detroit.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

ummm where is nightcrawler gonna go? everybody is in freaking san francisco. like literally everybody! this is the worst writing ever! if he wants to retire, he is still prolly gonna stay there, so what's the point?

and someone needs to just kill pixie already, preferably magik!

and yay for psylocke!!!!!!! finally shell be getting some real writing! she hasnt been written by anyone but claremont for a decade! thats so ridiculous!

um...Claremont is the one writing the mini series

It's got an ongoing story, but each issue takes place in a different time period. I think it's the 60s, the 80s, the 90s, and the current roster (okay, before Kitty was Lost In Space).

About the worst fate a character can be subjected to, but hey, she'll probably go OMG I'M ALMIGHTY POWERFUL in the issue and grows a supersized ego ever since, if she hasn't got one that is.

[usagicassidy]

Ugh, Claremont, GIVE UP ON PSYLOCKE already! She hasn't done a SINGLE thing since she's been back, all because you're hoarding her and making her crap and keeping her in crap books!
