Last time I remember seeing Maggot was in the X-Character meat grinder that was Weapon X

I always figured I was one of the few who loved Marrow's addition to the X-Men. Her crush on Cannonball was so cute.

Of course I also loved Cecelia and Maggot.

Marrow was my favorite of the OZT recruits. did the Cannonball crush ever go anywhere? didnt she go from Cannonball to Gambit?

Marvel made Kelly get rid of Cannonball before it could go anywhere

 

[Brainiac 8]

Yea, it was an interesting side story and then Marvel dumped Cannonball to another book or something like that.

In fact, I loved Cannonball when he was on the team in the 90's. I'm not horribly wild about the overly hickafied version they have going right now.

 

[OutcryX]

yeah...both Cannonball and Iceman have suffered the worst as far as character regression of all the X-Men...

 

[Jake Cassidy]

^ That's one of the reasons I want Lobdell back. No-one has ever written Iceman better than him.

Yep Sam flips from being a talented leader trained by Xavier, Magneto, Cable, Cyclops and Pete Wisdom to a goofy hick depending on who is writing him.

far as im concerned Lobdell and Whedon were the two best writers X-Men has ever had.

 

[El Bastardo]

Well, if ever I've read a loaded statement.

Given, I've heard a lot more loaded statements than read them, but you get the point.

Heres the cover to UXM 522 with the mystery woman blocked out

 

[UraniaChang]

Looks like more of a giant hairball to me.

 

[X_fan08]

haha. But its probably hope or phoenix.... speaking of psychics.. since when was Emma Frost an omega?

 

[Havok83]

Jean never had crazy hair like that and that doesnt appear to be a fire effect of the phoenix. Would be funny if it were someone like Lorelei or Medusa...lol

haha. But its probably hope or phoenix.... speaking of psychics.. since when was Emma Frost an omega?

Since Fraction decided she was. Emma is an omega class telepath, she is NOT an omega mutant. Fraction admitted that he didnt know of the term omega mutant before he started throwing around the word omega with Emma. An omega telepath describes a telepath of the highest order, which shouldnt be confused with an omega mutant, which is something completely different

Medusa????

Colossus costume looks ugly

 

[El Bastardo]

Huh. 519 was pretty solid and good.

Whoever they are, their proportions are way off.

I smell a Marvel Super Hero Squad crossover.

I dont think its Jean...I dont think Scott would be holding Emma like that if it was Jean

 

[squeekness]

I think the only question here is --why wouldn't it be Hope? They've only been hyping her return for a while now...

 

[roach]

why hide it?

 

[squeekness]

Boost sales or some such crap.... cash in on the suspense.....

 

[Manic]

Watch it be someone insignificant. Remember during Milligan's storyline "Bizarre Love Triangle" when there was a mysterious blacked-out woman on the preview cover, but then it just turned out to be Mystique?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Colossus costume looks ugly

Yeah what is that blue crap on his stomach? :

 

[roach]

seriously he was the one X-men who had the coolest costumes...I'd rather they bring back one of his old ones

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I don't miss the red booty shorts. His new costume is fine, but that blue s**t was added for no reason

 

[Colossal Spoons]
