Comics Official ASTONISHING X-MEN Discussion Thread

[Generation Lee]

OK I read the issue and loved it. To all the Kitty bashers this women when she was a kid took on a demon on her own and won proving herself as a X-man as xavier was planning to demote her to the new Mutants. She is an execllent Ninja from what I have heard. Also I'm reading an arc of X-Treme and Sage brought her in to fight against a mind controlled Rachel Summers and someone called Bogen as she could not be sensed.

CC loves her as much as Weadon and has treated this character with respect.

(Too much info...)





From what you've Heard?.! OMyFNGosh! She is the Phasing Female Equilent of Wolverine. I know I've read atleast one with him teaching her this Jewish move(back when they fought with pitch forks and broomsticks)... AnyWay!

 

[squeekness]

I don't mind the idea of Kitty schooling Emma. Emma is an annoyance and she would only be getting what she deserves.

 

[LEX]

I love this Kitty line to Emma

Seriously, though. Put the two in a room and have them duke it out already, no powers.

 

[squeekness]

I was never a big fan of Kitty, but I like her in this book, probably because she's not afraid to sass Emma.

 

[triplefive]

There's something about Emma that I just have to like, even though I'm so against her general existence and her being with Cyclops.

Kitty's okay as long as they don't take the sassy heroine thing too far; I don't think her character can carry it.

 

[tallsy_1]

Lest anyone think I don't want to see Kitty get time to shine, I do. I just wish the story didn't rely so heavily on Cyke and Wolvie being "out." It would be more rewarding if the story was more internal to Kitty.

As far as Emma goes, I like her. She provides a nice counterpoint to Cyke, which is where I think that storyline is going because I think she has fallen in love with him. Plus Emma/Kitty could become like the female version of Cyke/Wolvie without the love triangle part.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I think I could tolerate Emma more if she took a back seat to Scott, instead of him always being in her shadow. With Xavier gone, this is Scott's time to shine, and he's not done squat. It seems like every title has him in the background with Emma in charge of everything. I will love this title if all this problematic stuff breaks up the two of them and makes Scott a stronger character. I'm not sure if that will happen, but I really hope it does. Emma doesn't even have to leave the X-Men, she just has to move to give Scott room.

So I think starting in August this book becomes monthly again. There's an issue in August and then in September, could this book get any better?

 

[squeekness]

Only if Whedon was staying on but he's leaving I think .

 

[LEX]

He can't leave. It's absolutely nonsense.

 

[GyLocke]

I just wish the story didn't rely so heavily on Cyke and Wolvie being "out."

I've been waiting for a story like that for years. When they come "out" together.
I mean c'mon, the sexual tension is obvious between them, you don't have to be a telepath to realize what's going on.

Rofl.

I noticed something...Negasonic Teenage Warheads eyes are closed and open at the same time. Does that mean that she is dreaming all the time, and there for can change reality? Or what are her powers?

Oh, No!--not another reality changer! We really don't need a L'il Wanda.


Actually, I'd like an explanation of NTW's power.

 

[Kevin]

ok, so i finally read issue 15 and it was... pretty... alright. anyway, emma seemed so faked with her first scene. she MADE herself cry. i liked all of wolverine's and beast's part. um, Peter in THE MAN, by the way, one, i didn't know he could BLEED IN metal form, and two, i didn't know he BLED METAL. i was like "damn...". what else? i hope kitty kicks some ass, no really, all she does is goes through walls and floors and stuff. i can't believe i'm about to say this because so many people are gonna get mad, but i hope she goes BUFFY on someone's ass!!

 

[MoPlaYa]

Does anyone else think Blindfold is the mole????

 

[GreatWhiteWhale]

I am very sure Blindfold is the mole.

Hell, i'd even be willing to put a few bucks on it.

It'a the precog thingy that convinces me.

 

[Changer d'Elder]

I've just read the 15th issue...and I can't help it, I just have to roll on the floor, laughing. Wolverine's transformation's totally insane! XD

 

[bengan]

Does anyone else think Blindfold is the mole????

Nah, I think that that is too obvious. I think that they are messing with our heades. The crew of astonishing use to do that

 

[triplefive]

I don't think it's Blindfold because I don't know if she was in the Danger Room when SWORD was said their mole was in the DR. I think she was in the infirmary bc she was taken out with the rest of the psychics.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Honestly, who didn't break out laughing at this:

Wasn't this foreshadowed in X2?

"I'll have Jean braid your hair."

 

[LEX]

"I'll have Jean braid your hair."

That didn't even cross my mind.

 

[SMroxs]

I thought issue 15 was pretty good, but all it really did was build up my anticipation for finding out what the deal is with this new Hellfire Club. In particular I want to know who Perfection is. I'd also like to know how Negasonic Teenage Warhead is alive. That one is driving me nuts...
