Marvel December 2008 Solicits

[Doc Destruction]

Just Wolverine and X-Factor.

I swear, X-Men must be the most ass-backwards franchise out of the Big Two. Can we please get Morrison back?

F THAT.

No thank you.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Brubaker and Fraction seem to be doing a lot of the same stuff Morrison did, actually. They've given the X-Men a "new" status quo that's as much a move back to what they were originally about as a move forward. They're the center of the mutant dogpile again, just instead of a school they're a sanctuary of sorts, and instead of students they're Cyclops' personal army. Oh, and Cyclops is even more of a dick now than when Morrison made him a huge dick.

Stroman will be off X-Factor before that. De Landro starts in November.

Yes... Yes...

 

[Hans]

Actually, Scott's not a dick at all in UXM or AXM. X-Force seems to be the only book that Marvel will allow him to be portrayed as a man who embraces killing. That's fine with me. I enjoy X-Force for what it is, but I like Fraction, Brubaker and Ellis' characterization of Scott much better. They write Scott like I'm used to, but with more ambition and drive.

 

[Darthphere]

So totally different from the Scott you're used to?

 

[Hans]

Nope. Pretty in step, just with more of an edge.

 

[Darthphere]

So nothing like the Scott you knew.

 

[Hans]

Yeah, I don't know what you're trying to get at, or what X-Men books you grew up on, but it seems that whatever they were, they were different from the ones that I was reading.

 

[Darthphere]

It's simple whenever you use the words "He's the same but...." that means he's not the same. Simple logic.

 

[Hans]

When did I ever use the words "He's the same, but..."?

 

[Darthphere]

Jesus, you're ******ed aren't you.

"They write Scott like I'm used to, but with more ambition and drive."

Sorry for not typing what you said verbatim. Holy ****.

 

[Hans]

Wow, so the concept of similarity is completely foreign to you, huh? Interesting.

 

[Darthphere]

Ok, thanks for answering my question.

 

[Darthphere]

Ok, thanks for answering my question.

*chews popcorn*


Anyone want some?

 

[Hans]

I like those giant Christmas tins that have the dividers in them, separating the different kinds of popcorn. There's chocolate covered, carmel covered, a cheese flavored one, and something else. Maybe regular popcorn.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I find those utterly detestable. I've never encountered one with popcorn that wasn't stale.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I don't care for them either...mostly because they do always seem to be stale. I make better popcorn than those.

Butter!

 

[Darthphere]

Isn't that regular popcorn? I mean, who eats plain ol popcorn?

 

[Blader5489]

Old people.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Health nuts, too. The really annoying ones.

 

[Darthphere]

Then that's classified as old people/healthy popcorn. Butter is regular popcorn to everyone else.

Yes it is.

 

[Hans]

There's an outdoor market near my apartment that makes kettle corn.

 

[Doc Destruction]

I throw Parmesean cheese on my popcorn. Delicious!
