Planetary was a great read, though it took me a few issues to really get into it.

 

[Havok83]

Heres the #200 variants

 

[OutcryX]

looks like the whole squad is back together again. other than Jamie and Siryn..and Layla..it would be a pretty kick ass squad

 

[chris moore]

The new artist, and the new uniforms absolutely rock. Hating Guido's visor thingie though

 

[Havok83]

LOVE that M has some color again

 

[RockSP]

...and that they remembered Guido is white.

 

[squeekness]

I like the top one best though strong guy looks just a tad out of proportion..

 

[chris moore]

Musta just absorbed a lot of kinetic energy

 

[squeekness]

He looks like he's gonner pop!

 

[Havok83]

Has PAD made Longshot interesting or is he still as lame as ever? I keep hoping someone kills him off and his Ultimate version crossover and takes his place

 

[OutcryX]

Longshot is cool and interesting because..his name is Longshot, he has three fingers and **** just goes his way. ...I'd like to see some kind of relationship form between him and his son that once was(rumored), Shatterstar. Perhaps a visit to the Mojoverse is in order...as long as they take Pixie with them..and leave her there

 

[Mike555]

Infact i hope they leave longshot there where he belongs and NOT pixie.

 

[OutcryX]

pixie is redundant. kill her

Ive always found him lame. I'll agree with you on Pixie though

They put a big hint in one of the last issues of X-Factor that they are related, so I'm sure PAD has plans to address it somewhere down the line. I think he's really got some good plans for Longshot since he's made his powers interesting again. I can't remember the exact wording for it right now though.

 

[squeekness]

Tactile telepathy/psychic perhaps? He sees things when he touches objects.

 

[Havok83]

does he actually have a personality now?

 

[JewishHobbit]

I think he's the most uninteresting character of the bunch, but now that someone's reminded me that he and Shatterstar are both on the team I'm suddenly a lot more interested.

 

[chris moore]

The thing thats bugged me about Longshot of late is simply that he has regained his memories of his life (maybe with some gaps - hasnt been clarified), yet seems to constantly act like its his first time anywhere or doing anything (we ignore the fact that he and Dazzler have yet to even chat since his return from the Excalibur/Exiles crossover).
Make him a bit more like the X-Men vet he should be, and he could be interesting again.

Oh, and the sleeve slots for his blades (pretending for a moment that a man who is all about luck absolutely needs his guaranteed to hit weapon to be knives) are genius compared to that damn bandolier thing he had across his chest for the last 20years!

Utopia. The sanctuary for mutants to escape a world that wants them extinct. So is it the ideal home for X-Factor? That's what Cyclops believes when he invites the world's only mutant detective agency to relocate to their floating island retreat and take up residence there. But will Madrox and his team believe that it's the best place for them? What old faces will pop up, and what old acquaintances will be renewed? And will there even be a Utopia left when the mysterious Crone shows up and threatens to bring the entire place crashing down into the Pacific?

I don't know who this colorist is, but bless them for making Monet darker. I don't know how I feel about Darwin being dark, though. Sure he's Blaxican, but he's pretty much supposed to be albino.

Oh, and thumbs up for Butterfly still wearing those striped leggings despite being an adult now.

 

[Charlie No-One]

Of course they need to hetero up the Shatterstar/Rictor relationship

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

boom boom? what the heck? that girl looks a hot mess!

and in the one panel her dress thing doesnt even cover her hips.

 

[squeekness]

Of course they need to hetero up the Shatterstar/Rictor relationship

Maybe Shatty just kisses everyone that way when he hasn't seen them in a long time.

 

[RockSP]

Well Rictor is obviously bi-sexual. I guess Shatterstar is too. Did he and Boom Boom have a relationship previously?
