Sad issue for me, I thought this was the best x-book out there, one that actually gave Wolverine a book were he could grow and still do what he does best, then they go and disband the whole thing for yet another team, and Wolverine goes back the the other books and becomes what he always has been there, a thug, sad, my last issue.

 

[El Bastardo]

You don't think Remender will continue to write Wolverine the same way over in Uncanny Avengers?

 

[Snikt8]

I feel that Remender will continue to take Wolverine down the same path that he has started him on in X-Force. As a fan of Wolverine I am so excited to see someone, anyone, do something positive with him. I have to say that this has been a pure joy to read each and every month. I simply loved this series and it just to bad that it has to end.....

 

[JewishHobbit]

He's stated in an interview that he'll continue Wolverine's path in Uncanny Avengers, so that's good.

And I just gotta say... Phil Noto does not get enough credit. I loved his art in X-23 and he's been fantastic on Uncanny X-Force. I'm curious what he does next and hope it's something that I read. I feel like he'd rotate really well with... crap... forget his name. The guy taking over Uncanny Avengers from Cassiday. Totally blanking out. But yeah, that guy. Him and Noto should rotate if it's needed.

I agree, Phil Noto does do an excellent job. Have you checked out his website? He has a nice Jean Grey and Storm that he drew that look amazing. I had to get used to his art....but I really enjoy it now.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Anubis' pics thread has some drawings of his that were awesome. They were candid shots of Marvel characters at parties and such. They were fantastic and makes me want a comic about it.

 

[Snikt8]

The look in Logan's eye's after X-Force #34 was just awesome.....

 

[def28]

Gonna miss Remenders book. One of the best runs Ive read on X Men. Every character had there moments be it tragic or redeeming. Hope Uncanny Avengers can match the quality and the new UXF gives us a solid continuation on Betsy.

Agreed, Noto has been great. Would love to see him on Uncanny Avengers.
I think its Acuna who is taking over. Could be wrong though.

 

[x-fan]

I'd like to see him on Wolverine Max, cause the guy drawing that book is a eyesore.

 

[Snikt8]

How is everyone liking this line up? I am glad that Forge has been brought back and seeing Cable again is good stuff. Pete doesn't seem to fit in though....

 

[JewishHobbit]

Pete's what's keeping me on the book. I like Cable, Hope, and Forge but not enough to pick up a book about them. I never really cared one way or another about Domino or Dr. Nemesis. It's Colossus that has me curious.

You're right. It's Acuna.

I am also in it for Colossus....but the March Solicits have me a bit worried. I like what they are doing with Pete's powers...seems like he is going to have some changes as Emma and Scott are also having. Nice twist. Power demands a price I suppose.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Pete prob goes to jail to bust somebody out

 

[Snikt8]

Good point. Did any of the X-Men get arrested after the Phoenix event? Emma did but broke out, Scott broke out....they couldnt get to Magneto. Anyone else get locked up?

 

[Havok83]

Just those two. Considering Illyana's powers , there is no way to really hold her captive; at least it would be extremely difficult. Not sure how Namor is currently being handled but he wasn't arrested in AvX, I don't think

 

[chamber-music]

Namor is confronted by Black Panther in the Avengers Illuminati previews so we will find out what goes do in that.

 

[Snikt8]

I just don't understand why they went after Magneto. Makes no sense. He was fighting alongside the Avengers....right?

Question about UXF 35...

Spoiler

How is Mother alive?

No idea.

Otherwise, a lovely ending to Remender's series. Sweet and bittersweet.

Also, some good to great first issues for Hopeless's series. I'll definitely be staying onboard, but at $4 and double-shipping, it's going to need to stay good - but I don't see why or how it would slip.

Humphries's series I probably won't sign on for. I've enjoyed him on Ultimates, but he hasn't wowed me enough to get me to pick up another series I don't have a lot of interest in.

 

[def28]

Yeah UXF 35 was a solid conclusion. Nice to see those characters not go through hell for an issue. Wouldnt mind a Deadpool appearance in WAtX to follow up on him and Evan. Still cant believe how much Remender really made Deadpool stand out in this last act. Very well done, some of the best Ive read on the character.

Looking forward to Humphries book a bit more just based on the ending of UXF 35. Besides Betsy and Cluster, not really to stoked on the roster but def gonna check out what he has set up.

Cable X Force has been cool, just not fully sold on the structure of the book. The pacing just seems a bit off. Not really too fair to judge this early but I think it could be a bit smoother. Other then that Im digging it. That reporter commenting on Hope could have had a few less lines, that annoyed me a bit. Digging the art and color used here quite a bit.

 

[Shockdingo]

I loved this close to XForce, everyone got a great close without it all being a terrible rush. Wade was treated with love; the scene was heartwarming, but never got too hokey (love Wade's gift to him) but what made me immediately slap my head was looking through Thunderbolts.

Wade was portrayed okay in it, but

Spoiler

he had one of his stupid hallucinations when confronted by several enemy soldiers and got distracted. "Oh, you want my autograph?! Sure!" or something, then he gets shot in the head. MY issue with that is Wade isn't that type of crazy, and he made his "zaniness" a liability to the point he got a bullet through the brain. Ugh...

 

[def28]

Yeah, he was cool in Tbolts till that point. Was looking forward to an Elektra Deapool teamup and that just interrupted the whole scene.
