It's so easy for artists to get the thumbs on the wrong side.

 

[UraniaChang]

They probably draw things they see in a mirror.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Would be cool to see Hellion join in on that considering his history with her, but I have a feeling he will amount to just being a generic cameo, not necesarily adding to the plot

Yeah, I bet he'd do some serious damage too.

 

[El Bastardo]

Holy crap, what an issue.

I haven't even read it, I just kind of flipped through to show some people the art, but sheesh, Choi can make everything pretty, can't he? Even [blackout]torture porn[/blackout]!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Tell me about it

 

[El Bastardo]

I will tell you about it!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I think somebody told me about that

 

[UraniaChang]

The art is a blessing, truly.
Can you imagine what would happen if it was Stroman did the book, I bet no one could tell what was being [BLACKOUT]tortured[/BLACKOUT].

 

[louiebling$]

Yea God damn X Force has been Good every damn issue since one... and this last issue hasn't let me down whatsoever

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Idk how that man has a job still

 

[UraniaChang]

Personally, I would prefer to know how Choi does his art.

this was a really good issue. of course Choi's work is beautiful, but my favorite part was Wolverine and Cyclops.

so [blackout]if Laura gets her arm chopped off is her healing factor supposed to just seal the wound or is it going to grow a new arm? id imagine the former, but if Logan can rebuild from just a skeleton i suppose anythings possible[/blackout].

oh, and whos Kimura?

Gaurantee somehow no matter what all they got to do is [BLACKOUT]put the chopped off arm back onto her body and it will fix itself. Kind of like when she cut off her own hand to escape Kimura the first time[/BLACKOUT].

 

[RockSP]

*Snicker* @ the Nextwave reference.

 

[UraniaChang]

Poor girl, even though she's not my favorite.

 

[Havok83]

man I effin love this book. BEST X title on the market by far

oh, and whos Kimura?

annoying b--ch who's been stalking and trying to kill X-23 across all the books she gets featured in

 

[javi1024]

Havok, have you read like every single X-book ever printed? cuz you seem to be this encyclopedia of all things mutant.

and i could probably say the same thing about Manic.

 

[Havok83]

lol...nah just a fan of X-23, who's been followin her appearances. I think Kimura only appeared in her minis and New X-men, at least the stuff that Yost/Kyle wrote for her.

If I have one complaint about the issue and it was that Josh YET again gets knocked out. I think someone should start a drinking game for every issue that he gets taken down in bc its getting ridiculous. He's potentially the most powerful member on the team but for some reason he spends more time unconcscious

What I haven't read myself, I picked up from uncannyxmen.net or marvel.wikia.com. The Marvel Wiki could stand to be updated more often, and there are quite a few empty articles there, but they get bonus points for being the first website to tell me anything about Madison Jeffries, Dr. Nemesis, and Dr. Yuriko Takiguchi. Uncannyxmen.net is so freaking thorough, they have a long list of contributors who write (all text) summaries for every X-related comic book they can find.

Other than that, there was a period during the 90s where I read X-Men comics regularly, followed by a hiatus of nearly 10 years before I started picking up trades and new comics again in 2005.

And you've pretty much answered your own question. Characters get too powerful, fans ask "Well why didn't so-and-so simply do this to stop the problem of the month instead of everything else we went through?" and writers are stuck without being able to build up proper tension and suspense for the readers when there's a practical deus ex machina right there.

Hey!

 

[Specter313]

His stuff's actually quite simple, it's Oback that tends to add a majority of the detail in the inking and coloring phase:

 

[Havok83]

that reminds me of Sex and Violence. When is that supposed to be coming out anyway?

Normally I might have agreed with you but, Josh has his youth and inexperience to keep him in line. He has alot of power but hasnt matured and isnt able to effectively utilize his full potential yet. Its not like he's Phoenix here. Theres no need to constantly have him knocked out his powers havent reached that level where they've become a challenge to writers. Him going down all the time seems way too convenient and it happens too often

KY have already had Elixir grow back someone's ripped out heart, and give someone a benign brain tumor. They've set the bar too high.

they must have been working together for YEARS for Sonia to know what type of shadows and highlights he wants without any help. thats how i do my work, but i do it all myself to the end. i didn't think there was ANYONE in comics- especially someone as detailed as Choi- who leave his pencils totally clean.

i wonder how long it takes her to finish a full page...
