[Exploding Boy]

Oh no. I can't see the cover. Any chance someone could upload it to imageshack or photobucket?

Here you go hope you can see it:

 

[Specter313]

What a great cover!!!, if that the #16 cover, where is the #15 cover???

 

[masterj]

Is there supposed to be a white dot in the middle of Perfection's face. If it is then it clear who Perfection is. It's obviously White Dot Dude who has come back to kill Emma because if he doesn't all time and space will collapse and then Jean will return to kill Emma anyway, And if it isn't White Dot Dude then it's obviously Magneto, dressed as Xorn dressed as Magneto dressed as Xorneto who is manipulating Kitty who is manipulsting Colossus who is manipulating Artie who is beating up Jubilee.

 

[Wimpie]

Is it just me or does Astonishing X-men have the most creative and awesome covers out there at the moment?

 

[masterj]

Looking at that cover makes me feel self concious. It's like theyre all judging me especially Emma.

It's interesting b/c it seems like they're all looking at Perfection while Emma is the only one looking down (unless Perfection is too).

I stand by my prediction.

Spoiler

This is all a result of Emma going crazy and maybe even her brush with the Phoenix.

ON 15's cover, it seems that Shaw and Nova are looking at Emma, the other girl is looking at Perfection and it seems Perfection and Emma are looking down. I note the red background and i would guess that maybe they are standing over scott.

And is that a plane in the background next to Nova's ear?

Thanks Exploding Boy! Kitty looks fantastic!

I think its a H. Not sure but if it is it probably stands for Hellfire Club.

Its John Cassaday signature

Cassandra I agree...but Shaw's eyes just seem a bit off. Why I assumed that she would be looking at Perfection too (hey...it'd be pretty weird if everyone else was looking at Perf but Cassie was checking out Emma). If you really follow his line of sight it almost looks like he's looking at that weird white chick.

Or Tie-Fighter.

 

[Superbeasto]

Or Tie-Fighter.

I had one when i was a kid, they are so cool, but that belongs to a star wars thread, its a JC together, John Cassaday

 

[Exploding Boy]

Nova's left eye looks to be looking at Emma but her right is looking straight down. Once I get a 100x100 avatar, im so getting an avatar made from that cover.

 

[Savage]

Joss Whedon is my sheperd!!!!!!!!! I just finished reading 14 (yeah I know, a little late)... and... BY THE GODDESS!!! TAKE THA YOU BLOODY CYCLOPS FOLLOWERS!!!!! And the retcon!!!! Rejoice Ororo fans!!!! The whole Madelyne influenced in the Ororo/Scott duel went down the drain!!!! Ororo won fair and square and Cyclops didn't argue!!! *does little victory dance* I only hope the last image of him looking like that means

Spoiler

he's brain dead

which he has always been.

So I guess Deadly Gen happened before this issue, right?

Moonstar, according to Marvel, Jean is dead and there are no plans to change that status.

...Just for that I hope he wakes up all powerfull and evil and the first thing he does is blast her head off.

Best. Title. Ever. This is currently one of my favorite books besides Captain America, Daredevil, Wolverine, The Punisher and The Ultimates. Beast vs Wolverine solidified it for me.

 

[moonstar]

I never said kitty couldn't do damage in hand to hand combat. That ability won't be that useful with people who can stop her from doing anything tangible or intangible with their minds. Plus who knows what Perfection can do? I don't see her being affective at saving them at all , mayb herself but whatever...

as 4 the photo:Pretty scary stuff-Cassandra Nova definately has one eye down on scott and the other is looking at Emma or Perfection-

Either of which won't help me sleep tonight.
I think Shaw's left eye is looking at Scott (or us!yikes!) and definately at Perf. that's what makes Emma's line of sight so startling!

She's the only one concerned with Scott -and maybe there's a wink at the audience too. Definately one of the finest covers Marvel has done in a while-Not a cheap copout of something that probably won't happen in the issue or have any relevance (ie iceman/misty kiss) and the fact I can't stop looking at it. I already was in a frenzy to see what's going to happen but this definately will keep fans minds speculating till then...

 

[Manic]

People who do have offensive powers are just as useless against people like Cassandra Nova.

 

[Exploding Boy]

Kitty has the best chance out of the whole team(minus Emma) against the Hellfire Club.

 

[perdev145]

correct me if i'm wrong...but didn't someone, somewhere along the line...tell cyke that eventually he could learn to control his energy blasts from all parts of his body? if he could do that, he would be on par with gabriel summers, and the new resident badass of the x-men. lets hope for a secondary evolution for him...everyone else in the x-books has gone through them....even the younger ones...i think its his turn...and emma is a b****...i wish jean would have torn her apart a long time ago...but that's just my opinion...lol

 

[Valechan]

Kitty's mind is more resistant to telepathy than that of other Astonishing members. She might be the second mutant most resistant to telepathy that is not a telepath (the first being Ms Munroe of course)

Too bad Storm isint in this book , so that makes Kitty more likely ot fight the Hellfire. Or perhaps Storm wil make a guest appearance and kill the Hellfire Club !!

 

[americanguy96]

It would be cool if Storm was in this book, personally, I wouldn't mind Emma dead and Storm coming over to this book. But I think she's married to Black Panther right?

 

[Exploding Boy]

Yeah she is going to be with BP and not in many X-books. I prefer Emma over Storm. I like Emma, shes the ***** factor and her interactions with Kitty are hilarious.
