Comics Official ASTONISHING X-MEN Discussion Thread

I honestly think Kitty is going to be working with Emma in the end. In the first arc, Emma said Kitty was there cause Emma wanted her to be. Why would that be if it was just to kill Kitty? I think Emma has something else brewing, just not sure if its true cause how would she hide it from Cassandra.

Ah i see we underestimate the power of the white queen

i dunno but w/e she did her teaming up with kitty would be great something i could deffinetley expect from whedon.

how much would I have to buy and read to catch up with the series?

Not much; there are two trade paperbacks (or one hardcover) covering issues 1 through 12, and then there's 13 - 15; 15 having just come out on the 21st. I've been having a hard time finding 13 and 14 because I was originally going to try to wait for the PB to come out.

 

[ghost113]

so there are two tpb 1-6 then 7-12 and then 13,14, and 15 are single issues.

A nod to the Uncanny X-Men #132

I can see it now the whole Buffy and Cordy against the Bounty Hunters in S3 of Buffy lol.

They can bring in marrow for the role of the Kulak demon and Cassandra can eb Mr. Trick.

Wow, good catch. I never even noticed that.

^Some people in another thread (or maybe it was this one) were so outraged that Whedon dared to copy that image.

 

[squeekness]

I don't see why. I think it pays homage and respect, not plagerism.

 

[triplefive]

Some people will develop a deep-seeded hatred towards something, or someone, and will invariably hate everything that has anything to do with it :P

 

[americanguy96]

^Really. I bet Whedon has nothing but respect for Claremont, because I've always thought Whedon's arcs were kind of like something that Claremont might have written back in the 70s/80s.

I think River used that same line in "Serenity."

 

[Specter313]

I think River used that same line in "Serenity."

Yep, just before dashing down the tunnel into the swarm of Reavers to get the medical bag.

 

[Chasers1984(2)]

I think River used that same line in "Serenity."

I think every down hero in the history of the world has used that same line.

So what could be kitty's next move??....I see a team up of Kitty and Lockheed agianst the HC...and the Sword is on their way...so Kitty might get help...but how is it gonna play out??

 

[MoPlaYa]

I think Kitty will wake up Colossus, then it will be her, Colossus, Lockheed and the girl with armour v.s HC

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^Hopefully Peter will use his brain in that fight cuz he sure didn't use it against Shaw

 

[ghost113]

I might have to ask for the tpbs for my birthday I don't know how i'm going to catch up.

Very true, but then again, Shaw's face got seriously messed up.

I was thinking about that blow frow Shaw, and i am not so sure, if that would of been enough to take Peter down.

 

[Czar Colossus]

Yes, and it seemed as though he was supposed to have been bleeding from his nose; but he does not bleed in armored form!

 

[Czar Colossus]

Wow, good catch. I never even noticed that.

Boy, I must be getting old. I picked up on it immediately. I remember that issue like it was yesterday!

 

[Czar Colossus]

I think Kitty will wake up Colossus, then it will be her, Colossus, Lockheed and the girl with armour v.s HC

Now that would be SWEET!
