Forge is crazy

 

[Manic]

Hank Pym is pretty stable when compared to Forge. Forge is an engineer, not a geneticist. He's dabbling in stuff he shouldn't be dabbling in, and there are apparently certain moral boundaries in biological science that he's not familiar with.

 

[Havok83]

It was Forge. Not counting the cover and recap/credits page, it's in the second preview page up top.

Oh I know. I read the page after you quoted him. Im wondering when the heck did he get such an atittude

 

[javi1024]

when was the last time we saw Forge? he's had such a fragile relationship with the X-Men i don't know how they last left things.

 

[Specter313]

It was right after Messiah Complex, when Bishop clocked him over the head (yet again), and stole his robotic arm that he's now sporting in Cable. He then had a Divided We Stand story in the two collected stories issues, that showed his mind isn't quite as stable anymore after the repeated head trauma.

oh right. but then there wasnt much interaction with the X-Men. i wanna know why they aren't buddies anymore like back in X-Men #1?

I think it's just an issue of him falling into limbo and no one using him properly for years.

anything happen while he was at X-Force with Mystique?

 

[Manic]

I heard they did the nasty.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

What is it with men who have a thing for Storm going cuckoo? It's only a matter of time until it happens to Kurt and T'Challa.

Sexual frustration. She isnt into men. Her true love will always be Yukio

 

[Manic]

Don't forget her unending love for Jean. There's a reason Storm used to walk around her naked back in the 70s.

Don't forget Forge was Q to her Bond in Mystiques solo series.

I actually like Bianchis art in Astonishing. Sure people pull some really really weird poses sometimes.. and it does look like Forge is shouting into a microphone in one panel on the preview there, but it has a Watercolour painting esque look that lets me forgive areas very low on details.

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

that was probably the BEST response from an X-man to Emma ever!

It made me miss Kitty. I could totally see Kitty interrupting the scene with uncontrollable laughter the moment Forge said that.

 

[insane polaris]

Phil Jimenez taking over Bianchi??? Im really excited, i loved his art in New X-men.

That is great news i don't think Bianchi is a bad artist or anything but he just isn'y right for astonishing

 

[Manic]

Bianchi needs to stick with limited series and covers. He just isn't timely enough for ongoings. Not by my standards, anyway. God knows Joe "background as an artist" Quesada is insanely lenient when it comes to late artists.

the purpose of the this book is to show how cool Scott and Emma are together

Yes, I already put that on the previous page, but I'd say that the fact that it's no longer up on the site that reported it casts doubt on it actually happening.

Oh totally. She'd be leaning on the wall for support she'd be so out of breath and clutching her sides.

 

[Manic]

With Ellis writing, I think the purpose is to write an X-Men comic with out-of-nowhere crude dialogue exchanges. Like Forge implying that Emma is a ho, or Hank & Abigail talking about their sex life.
