yea thats a Cuckoo. when they use their telepathy their eyes always glow blue and you see them wearing the New Mutant-type uniforms in the next page.

Thanks. Thats what happens when you have so many blondes on one team and give them all similar looking costumes

 

[UraniaChang]

With the way Rogue was drawn in the pictures...I have a feeling that she was eying all the males...

 

[Jango X]

God I hate Greg Land...
I recognize alot of his usial poses and faces...Especially in the first page ith Namor and the Cuckoo (he's used that face for Namor before, and that Cuckoo pose is from Invisible Woman in UFF..)
Rogue is definitely Emma Stone from Zombieland:

i think i finally figured out what bothers me most about Lands art (besides all the obvious)- all his people are lifeless. Rogue, Logan, Scott just look like the manequines they were traced off of.

 

[UraniaChang]

I think I recognize everyone's posture in the panel with Scott, Betsy, Eric and Northstar was copied from somewhere.

And Psylocke's face is just plain wrong.

Yea, none of the characters ever show any emotion except for the occasional "pleasure" LMAO

It pisses me off that this guy still gets paid when there are so many talented artists out there...

How does Iceman stay on his Ice Slide at that angle??

How does Iceman stay on his Ice Slide at that angle??

well with Bobby he could be sticking to an ice board and he's simply extending it from its origin (like Mr. Fantastic stretching his arm). or hes moving quick like a surfer in the middle of wave. not too far-fetched.

Because he's just that good. t:

Just sat down and read all of Messiah CompleX in one sitting. Wow is the first word that comes to mind. Really intense story. The Uncanny parts had the best artwork even though I really liked most of the story.

yea i really loved that story. i read it as the individual books came out, and as soon as the hardcover came out i bought that and read it again. if you haven't read it yet check out 'Utopia'. its the latest X-Men crossover (not counting X-Force crossovers 'Messiah War' and 'Necrosha') and a really good read.

 

[starbreaker]

Read the Uncanny part of Divided We Stand. Weird, fun hippie stuff. Entertaining in a different way, that's for sure.

 

[UraniaChang]

Not to mention the beautiful art.

 

[starbreaker]

^ Cyclops and Emma in the hippie outfits was awesome.

 

[UraniaChang]

The good old time, now I hope Scott and Emma will have a clean break-up before some writer writes some idiotic drama to cause another unnecessary stain on the relationship between the two.

 

[Manic]

I think Whedon and Fraction has established that Scott and Emma are more than willing to put up with one another's bull****. At this point, I don't see anything short of Jean Grey with roses pouring out of her breasts being able to break them up.

 

[UraniaChang]

Emma has bigger breasts.

 

[Manic]

They had better be big. She paid top dollar for those chestaculars.

Hahaha, those Tatty bojangles was money well spent...t:

 

[Havok83]

why dont they pop when she switches in and out of diamond form?

 

[Manic]

Well, maybe her diamond powers extend to anything beneath her skin. That's why we don't see her chewed up lunch sitting inside her abdomen.

 

[UraniaChang]

They use the same material as the uniforms the X-Men wear, obviously.

Unstable molecules. If they could adapt that into a hair dye, it'd also explain why she stays blonde when she changes back.

1) The last time we saw the Phoenix Force it was leaving Korvus and Rachel - when will this be addressed? And what about the Phoenix shards trapped inside the Cuckoo's hearts?

Read "Uncanny X-Men" #517 ASAP!

2) Also, will the Mimic or Nate Grey be sticking around after Dark X-Men?

You'll just have to wait and see. I don't want to spoil Paul Cornell and Leonard Kirk's story.

XMAN4life has been enjoying the multitude of mutants in the book, but doesn't want his favorites to get lost in the shuffle. Can you deal him a hand he'll like?

I love the new blood that's been put on the X-Men - and that the team is really a giant army now - but it seems like a lot of characters are falling through the cracks as far as being used. We haven't seen Hepzibah in two years, Cloak & Dagger and Dazzler seem like they are becoming background characters, and the X-Men students are coming off as the red uniform ensigns from "Star Trek." Are there any plans to correct for this? And I was wondering if the students considered actual X-Men or are just viewed as students?

There are only so many hours in a day and so many pages in the X-Books. There are lots of X-characters, and not a lot of stage time. We have to make decisions on who gets more "stage time." We generally stick to the bigger characters and more central characters, but we try and service the smaller ones, too. But I'll give you some specific answers:

Hepzibah - "SWORD" #2

Cloak and Dagger - "Wolverine: Origins"

Dazzler - "Uncanny X-Men," here and there…

X-students - Dude, they're a major part of "X-Men: Legacy"! As for whether they're X-Men or students, it's kind of both. Cyclops will use them on missions, but they still do get taught stuff.

EC has been thinking about Emma Frost quite a bit - both her present and her past. How about a hint on the future?

1) Emma and Namor's involvement with Norman seems to have ended abruptly. Any chance we might see more interaction with other members of the Cabal, like Loki, Doom, or the Hood?

Emma and Namor are doing their best to avoid further contact with these scary individuals. That was part of the point of betraying them.

2) I've been wondering this for a while and was hoping you could give me your thoughts on the portrayal of Emma Frost in the X-universe. She committed horrible on-panel/off-panel deeds as the White Queen, including murder - and it all appears it's been glossed over (both by the X-Men and their writers). Can stuff like that truly be forgiven and forgotten? Plus, all the crying she's done lately makes me wonder how she lasted so long as the White Queen. Thoughts?

Wolverine has killed people both on purpose and by accident many more times than Emma has. One of the key tenets of the X-Men is taking in people with pasts that are less than moral and giving them second chances. That's what's going on here.

Do they like that she did those things? No. She's been working with the X-Men for a long time now (from way before "New X-Men," as the Gen X fans who've asked questions here today have noted) and has saved the world many times.

Does she sleep well at night? Probably not.

Do the X-Men trust her implicitly? Probably not all of them. Scott does. I could go on about this for hours and hours, because many of my favorite stories are redemption stories, like that of St. Paul. People who do horrible things, see the light, so to speak, and try to make up for it in any way possible. Emma is trying her hardest to make up for her past crimes and protect her people. She can't change the past, all she can do is try and do better every day.
