i too could go for a banana milkshake

Depending on how well X-Force and New Mutants do for the next few years I wonder if they'll go into original numbering?

 

[mightiest_mortal]

Looks like another amazing issue, and that things are coming together ready for issue 50

[shameless plug]

For anyone unaware of my "Make your own Marvel Models thread", I've just updated with a Madrox model (or 3) that you can download and make yourself at my mypaperheroes blog

Theres SO little if any Madrox merchandise that he's been consistantly one of the most requested characters.

That issue was all sorts of awesome. Bored indeed.

X-Factor is moving back to NY – will they be checking in on the Westchester grounds at all? What's their plan going to be there? And will they have more, less, or the same amount of involvement with the greater X-Universe?

JODY LEHEUP: As of issue #200, X-Factor will be broadening their horizons a bit and really becoming more of a detective agency for the Marvel Universe as a whole, not just the mutant population. So expect to see a lot more familiar faces from the superhuman community.


Will they still be a part of the X-Universe? Of course, just not in an exclusive capacity. As for Westchester, there’s definitely been talk of paying the X-Men’s old stomping grounds a visit, but it’s probably not something that you’ll be seeing out of the gate. Definitely keep reading though. Big things coming…

Cover by ESAD RIBIC
Variant Cover by DAVID YARDIN
Variant Cover by RYAN SOOK
"The Invisible Girl Has Vanished"
X-Factor has relocated back to New York, and their first client is a keeper: Franklin Richards, whose mom has disappeared and who figures that the premiere detective agency in the Marvel Universe has the best chance of finding her. Except Reed Richards doesn't seem especially cooperative in helping them locate his missing wife. What is he hiding, and does it have anything to do with the coming Darkness? Meanwhile, Val Cooper has some bad news for Monet: Her ambassador father has been taken prisoner by terrorists, and she has less than 24 hours to find him before he winds up getting his head cut off on video.

I wonder who the blonde guy and girl are. Layla and Longshot?

 

[Manic]

The blonde girl has an "M" over her eye, so yeah I think that's Layla.

It looks like the team is wearing costumes again.

It also appears the new artist will be the guy who's doing Dark X-Men: The Confession. We're gonna miss you, Valentine DeLandro!

I'm extremely behind on this particular title. Last issue I actually picked up was Layla's return as an adult, but I'm beyond eager and looking forward to the new direction as of issue 200. Really hoping that David explores this new angle to its fullest.

 

[Havok83]

I dont like that this went with the originals' numbering but thats one great cover. I also like that Monet is looking less vanilla there

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I don't like that they made all the guys ugly. Lol.

 

[Havok83]

the only ugly one I see is Strong Guy and well Darwin goes without saying

 

[squeekness]

They all look mad. Rictor is pouting.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Rictor and Madrox use to be much much better looking, now they look really really mean and old.

 

[squeekness]

It's the artist. The regular guy made Rictor look almost sexy.

 

[Gilpesh]

That's what happens, Bill. People get mean and old.

 

[squeekness]

Rictor has no reason to be mad, his boy Shatterstar is back.

 

[Gilpesh]

It looks like they broke up.

 

[Havok83]

LOL...I love the look on Jamie's face

 

[squeekness]

It looks like they broke up.

They had better not.

 

[squeekness]

LOL...I love the look on Jamie's face

LOL, he looks like he just crapped his pants.

 

[Specter313]

LOL...I love the look on Jamie's face

Heh, he almost looks a little like Conan O'Brien.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Exactly!!! Ewwwwwwww.

 

[Manic]

I also like that Monet is looking less vanilla there

Hey, you're right. For once she looks darker than Rictor.

Heh, he almost looks a little like Conan O'Brien.

"Be cool, my babies!"
