Its about damn time Iceman got an Origins book

Here here..

 

[UraniaChang]

I don't know, the Gambit one didn't tell anything we didn't know about the character, made me wonder what was the point in releasing this series.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ugh, I hate X-Babies

 

[UraniaChang]

They are chubby!
They are CUTE!

Dark Reign: The List - X-Men
Written by: Matt Fraction
Art by: Alan Davis
Price: $3.99 | 48 Pages

The fallout of UTOPIA begins here. What else could Norman Osborn possibly do to the X-Men?

i like Alan Davis, but his X-Men never look good. i do like the one closeup of Cyclops though. its pretty cool how coordinated Fraction's X-Men has been with the rest of the MU. i never really got that feeling from the passed couple years. usually whenever the X-Men had a tie-in to an event like CW or WWH is was a different writer while the real writer kept to his own little world. with Dark Reign, even though the X-Men are miles away (literally) from the rest of the MU, theyre still affected by changes like the rest of the heroes.

 

[UraniaChang]

Yeah, I suppose Fraction is trying his best to change the paces of the X-Men.



Wow, Wolverine was sitting way in the back, now that's not something you see everyday.

Maybe that Utopia thing wasn't what we all thought.

God damnit, Namor. That "I'm a king, and I don't need help" thing is exactly what got his kingdom destroyed in the first place. Why are royal superheroes in the Marvel Universe all stubborn a-holes?

I hate Davis X-men. I about tuned out that time in the late 90s when he was writing and drawing. I had to laugh at that his rendition of Illyana's hair. Its kinda hard to screw taht up but he did here

Because acting all proud and playing hard-to-get make thm look badass?

 

[Manic]

It makes Namor look like a dick.

 

[UraniaChang]

Well, he is more known as an egotist than a brainer anyway.

[Havok83]

[javi1024]

Yes and whats even more shocking is that Iceman is right at the front...

 

[javi1024]

i wonder what this panel with Betsy and Bobby means:

Spoiler

what could her power combined with Bobby do?

 

[Havok83]

Pixie looks so redundant with Magik around. Really do we need two of them? I say axe the fairy

LOL...anyone want to take any guesses on which Asian, Warren is carrying?

 

[UraniaChang]

X-23?

It looks like Wolverine was doing the fastball special with Colossus so maybe Laura needs the promoter as well.

CBR: The first query of the day comes from dddevil01 – a polite fan who doesn’t want to offend Wolverine’s son with a tied-up tongue.

I was wondering how to accurately pronounce Daken's name. I've heard everything from Duh-ken to Day-ken to Dokken. I really enjoy that Daken's dubious moral nature, but I'm not sure I need that ambiguity extended to his moniker…

SEBASTIAN GIRNER: Daken’s name – 駄犬 (“useless” or “no good” + “dog,” so his name means “mongrel” or “cur”) – is pronounced DA (like “yes” in Russian) and KEN (just like the name Ken).


Jack is a no-nonsense kind of guy, and he’s looking for answers – now!

When can we expect to hear more about the third act of the “Messiah” trilogy? Do you have any details about it yet? How many issues it will be? Will it involve crossovers?


AXEL ALONSO: The event will be structured more or less like “Messiah CompleX,” starting with a one-shot, cutting across four monthly titles for three months, and winding up in a double-sized one-shot. More details to be announced soon.


Adam Tisdale has a dream too. Can any of you editors help him out?

With the announcement of “Web of Spider-Man” along with the premature cancellation of “Exiles,” I got to thinking: do you think there is any possibility for a “Web of Spider-Man”-type book for the X-universe? The recent minis that followed this format (“Manifest Destiny,” “Divided We Stand”) have sold well, and this would also be an ideal spot to continue Jeff Parker's “Exiles” as a backup feature!

NICK LOWE: If you love short stories, than you’re in luck. Not only is there a “Necrosha: The Gathering” one-shot where you get to see Selene putting together her team of elite killers (you saw them briefly in the “Necrosha” preview in the back of most Marvel books this month), but we’re also launching “Nation X,” where you get to see what life is like on Utopia, the X-Men’s new island home. The X-Men have been pushed to the edge and the stories you’re going to get in there are fantastic.


Sorry to disappoint you that “Exiles” won’t be in there, but if you want to see some Jeff Parker X-Stuff, definitely pick up the “X-Men/Agents of Atlas” mini that’s coming up. And I’m also planning a “Life of Nick Lowe” anthology that is sure to please. See such exciting chapters as “Nick Goes Streaking in College,” “Nick Gets Locked Out on Fire Escape,” and “Nick Gets Fired By Axel for Somehow Publishing Biographical Anthology as X-Book.”




hy was Pixie chosen, among all of the young students, to get her own mini? Simply because there was someone who wanted to write her story? Or will something “special” be occurring with her?

NICK LOWE: Pixie got a mini because she rules. Plain and simple. Her Q-factor has been on the rise since “New X-Men,” through the “FCBD: X-Men” story and big-time in “Uncanny.” And you’ll find out that she has a very interesting familial tie to X-Men history. You don’t know everything about Megan Gwynn, but you will after you pick up her mini.


Matthew Buckley has a wandering mind that seems to drifting upwards…mostly towards outer space.

Do you guys have any plans for the X-jammers?

NICK LOWE: As of our plans right now, they aren’t going to be back to earth too soon. But we love Havok and the rest as much as you do. Promise.

[squeekness]

Dah-Ken. I was saying Day-ken. My bad.

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

what the heck! NO STARJAMMERS! : (

 

[UraniaChang]

There are people care enough to ask for how to pronunce Daken's name?

I never found him interesting enough to bother.
And Day-ken sounds much better.
