What, was Blue-Skin Metal-Wing Archangel killed, immediately replaced by Blue-Skin Feather-Wing Archangel?

[blackout]Onyx bit the dust. So did Diamond Lil, but who gives two craps about her. [/blackout]

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I didn't know who shje was for the entire issue. She looked like a Hope/Siryn mix.

Ohhhh!

Well, he always felt like cannon fodder, anyway.

Blink blinked away Archangels wings, but they grew back metal.

How about Laura's line to Wolfsbane, "Well, we're assuming you had se-" to be cut off by Elixer. Probably the best part of the whole issue.

Also, do you think now that Elixer and Wolfsbane are awake and all healed, that they might finally do something when they all go to Genosha?

 

[Manic]

Do some as members of the team? That'd be nice.

Do something with each other? Well, I'm sure Elixir is legal on Genosha.

 

[Manic]

Badadadada, it's That Darn Server!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, does somebody need to be healed or mauled on Genosha? What would they do?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I'd love it if some how Elixir was a cure-all and could cure the ''infected" raised and make them theirselves again.

First person he should touch is Banshee and Blink. We need a Blink in the 616 universe.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Why? So Kurt can get all mopey about being useless again?

 

[UraniaChang]

Blink is like an advanced version of Nightcrawler, without the religion part, and Nightcrawler is more experienced, so yeah, they shouldn't be put together in the same team unless necessary.

But if so many telepaths can work together in the X-Men (not to mention there're always people won't let you forget that Jean was the most powerful one blah blah blah), Kurt really doesn't need to act so inferior.

 

[TheVileOne]

I had no idea what was happening most of the issue, the artwork made it a little hard to understand what was going on. That's probably one of my only problems with the book.

For starters, I had no idea who got killed.

I mean, it's not a bad story, but I mean Necrosha is obviously a Blackest Night ripoff is it not?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The fact Kurt felt useless over that little pink haired ***** better never come up again, you hear me? YOU HEAR ME?!

Besides Blink can be on a seperate team from Kurt, and they can just kill Pixie off.

[Jennifer Walters]

She's the Jubilee of today, except she's more annoying than Jubilee ever was. Seriously, in future years she'll be just like Jubes random appearances ever so often.

I haven't been reading Necrosha, but I was under the impression Blink wasn't one of Selene's zombies, but was just loyal to her.

Blink is like an advanced version of Nightcrawler, without the religion part, and Nightcrawler is more experienced, so yeah, they shouldn't be put together in the same team unless necessary.

I'm going to say something (apparently) no one wants to admit: As cool as Nightcrawler is, he is one of the worst teleporters in the X-Men. He has trouble taking more than only a couple of people with him anywhere, and he has a max range of only 3 miles (when he's well rested). Pixie, Magik, Vanisher, Blink, and Cloak have a better range than him and can take more people. If you needed to get from California to New York, all of those people could take you and your family, but not Kurt. Even Lila Cheney can do it, though she'd have to make a pit stop on the other side of the universe first.

Nightcrawler's teleports are best used for quick escapes, surveillance, and punching his enemies from eight different directions in a fight. He's not a human transportation service like practically every other teleporter is. The fact that anyone would write a story where Kurt had issues with Pixie is ridiculous, because Kurt has to have known for a long time that there are far better teleporters than him out there.

Not a ripoff, but more of a victim of bad timing. This had its start way back in New X-men when wither left for, I think the second time, and met up with selene. Then when Eli first showed up in X-Force working with Risman to get his hands on that virus thing he uses to raise the dead. So, this has been brewing for a while.

I haven't been reading Necrosha, but I was under the impression Blink wasn't one of Selene's zombies, but was just loyal to her.

Yeah, Selene rescued her from wherever she was. Just kind of floating between existance or whatever.

i agree..in a fight.. Nightcrawler OWNS...if only he didnt let religion water him down...he could really f_ck sh_it up

the fact that this was revealed pleases me because it wraps up unanswered questions as to what happened to her from the generation next arc of the phalanx covenant....those whacky X-Men...always leaving people behind, to NEVER ask or worry about them again...until they show up again to kick their azzes

I used to like this art when the book first came out but now it's so dark and unmangable. I can't tell who's doing what to whom. It's making me really hate this story.

 

[TheVileOne]

squeakness that's basically my problem. There's so much going on I don't know what's happening, but I don't dislike the story because of it.

Personally, I like Choi (Or is it Oback?) doing this book more.

Well, they're kind of a package deal, anyway. Choi on pencils, Oback on colors.

AOA Kurt FTW!

 

[BoredGuy]

^^ Yeah man, My favorite Nightcrawler scene EVER was from AOA X-Calibre when Kurt has the dudes finger in his hand and he rips it right off by teleporting....

Nightcrawler could definitely be the X-men's most badass fighter

His teleporting just bolsters his fighting, he's not the blackbird...

 

[Havok83]

How great is Vanisher? He is definetly the breakout character of X-Force. I cant beleive how much Im loving him considering he's been around since nearly the very beginning when the X-men started in the 60s and I never gave a damn about him. He was hilarious the way he was all over Josh when he woke up, asking to get some of that (healing). His humor was needed in an otherwise dark and serious toned issue.

I was hoping for a Dazzler vs Mortis fight. I hope we get one before Necrosha is over but I doubt it

I was also glad to see Emma finally pick herself up off the floor in the end. She's been unusally pathetic in this arc

 

[UraniaChang]

He definitely gets some personality modification in X-Force, in the beginning he was just a plain creepy guy.
