'does the happy dance.'

 

[ProfeZZor X]

How the HELL is that even possible?!?!?!?!

I can only imagine how that would impact Storm.

And I loved the Ultimate X-Universe because nobody had came back... I just hope it's some shapeshifter like Mystique who's impersonating him.

BTW, does anybody know who's the artist who drew this cover?? Is it Yanick Paquette?? I know he's suppossed to do issues 79-80 but I don't know if he will keep drawing this book.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

I've been out of the loop for a while on this book. Has it been determined which of the X-Men is going to die/has died?

I've heard people drop hints that it's either Storm or Kitty, but most people were hinting that it was Kitty. Is this true? ...If so, not skin off my back. I really didn't care for her anyway. At least in the 616 universe that is.

If you're talking about this "Cable" arc, yes, it's Prof. X who's going to die, at least according to some Marvel preview.

Wow, that's going to shake things up quite a bit.

Spoiler

I wonder who will take over as leader/mentor then... Magneto? It's kind of remenicent of Age of Apocalypse though when you think about it. Which I hope it does. This would give an "Ultimate" outlook on how the students would have turned out.

Well, the preview said Cyclops decides to disband the X-Men, so we don't really know what will happen. I said some posts ago that I wanted Emma Frost to come to the School with her Academy of Tomorrow students. I hope that's what happens.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

NOOOOOO!!! Maybe this just means Magneto will kill him later.

You should stop reading New X-Men, you're obsessed with death!!! lol

Haha. I just hated Hank immensely after what he did with Blob.

[AndThePickles]

No, no no no no, no no no. This is the worst!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

No, no no no no, no no no. This is the worst!

What would Hank have to do to redeem himself in our eyes? lol

 

[AndThePickles]

Kill Molly.

 

[iamlegend]

Hey, anyone remember when Marvel claimed that people weren't getting resurrected in the Ultimate Universe, or something to that effect? Way to stick by their guns...


And besides, I think it's stupid to bring a character back from the dead when there's already so many X-men that haven't even been introduced to the Ultimate Universe yet. Why can't we get some new blood on this damn team for once?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Kill Molly.

That would be awesome if they were in the same universe woman!

 

[AndThePickles]

If he really wants to redeem himself he'll find a way.

Well, he's not blue or furry, so I wonder what that's about.

What X-Men would you like to see?

 

[Havok83]

oh gawd I hope this isnt true.

Spoiler

WHY must they resurrect Beast? I was hoping this kind of stuff wouldnt happen in the Ult-verse with people dying and coming back from the dead. I hope it isnt really him

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Was his body ever claimed after he died the first time? I mean, it didn't secretly get "misplaced" or anything did it? ... And the X-Men settled for an empty casket funeral instead?

*Does happy dance of joy* Yay!

 

[K.B.]

Beast is one of my fav X-Men characters but I really don't know how to feel about this.

 

[Horhey]

The damage Kirkman has done to this title is extensive. Resurecting Beast from the dead is just another example of him shooting blanks.

 

[Sub-Zero]

who's molly? sorry i never know what's going on here.
