I think I'm more interested in this than MC....

 

[OutcryX]

and counting you...that makes...ONE

 

[javon]

Wow, i'm actually thinking about picking this up. Only problem is that I don't know anything about it. I had no idea Lorna and Rachel joined the starjammers

 

[OutcryX]

wow...somebody hasnt been paying ANY attention to the happenings of Uncanny for the past YEAR or so....Havok, Rachel, Lorna and Korvus stayed behind in space and became the All new, All different, Starjammers...along with Ch'od and Raja....while Hepzibah hitched a ride with the X-men back to earth and Corsair..well..he is dead, killed by his bastard son, Vulcan

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Intereting stuff.

Vulcan is actually, IMO, an awesome character. I love his origin. But the "third Summers brother" angle on him is extremely forced and unnecessary. The whole Deadly Genesis storyarc with him would have been improved immensely had they not forced that old, tired storyline onto his character.

Thats because somebody didn't want to READ whats been happening for the past year or so.

 

[OutcryX]

which explains WHY you didn't know Rachel and Lorna had 'joined' the Starjammers

Gotta say, I'm somewhat divided on the Vulcan character.

I freakin love his ruthless/homicidal streak, but am not too thrilled about the EMO teen reason behind it all.

But now that he's got better things to do than whine about Chuck, he just might win points in my book.

 

[OutcryX]

except when he inevitably comes back to earth and becomes the good guy that the summers genes is designed to be...he'll be all angsty and guilt ridden and still mad at daddy...er..chuck...daddy's dead. lol

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

he'll be all angsty and guilt ridden and still mad at daddy...er..chuck...daddy's dead. lol

Exactly how will that work?

"Chuck made me kill my actual old man!!!"

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I don't know if being pissed someone left you to die on an island floating in space while mind wiping everyone of your existence qualifies as an "emo" motivation.

 

[Canemacar]

Meh. It all looks pretty lame and Bru should've already wrapped it all up in his Rise and Fall arc. I'll pass.

 

[javon]

which explains WHY you didn't know Rachel and Lorna had 'joined' the Starjammers

Which is explains WHY I didn't tell anyone to explain it to me.

 

[CombatRock319]

it has potential but really, while the rise and fall of the shi'ar empire did some chool $hit it wasnt that interesting. seriously, wanna make it good? the "starjammers" should just storm the shi'ar fortress and have an epic fight with vulcan.

seriously, the miniseries is unnecessary. a one shot woulda been more intriguing.

 

[OutcryX]

Which is explains WHY I didn't tell anyone to explain it to me.

Well now you've been TOLD anyway. you're quite welcome.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'd totally skip this if 3 of my fav X-Men weren't in it AND I hadn't already invested a year of my life to Bru's run

 

[Havok83]

ditto. Im sick of Vulcan already.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I don't mind Vulcan, I'm just sick of space and the Poopjammers

 

[Havok83]

I don't mind Vulcan, I'm just sick of space and the Poopjammers

I dont mind Vulcan either but theres been a Vulcan overload since he was created. The character needs to take a rest bc Brubaker already screwed him up. I just hope that after this arc, Havok and Lorna return to earth where they belong

 

[El Bastardo]

I like Vulcan, and I personally think that Bru did with him what should have been done. And now I'm curious as to where Yost will bring him.

I remember how everyone was raging back in the middle of "Rise and Fall" that hopefully the Starjammers would get a mini or an ongoing once the saga had closed and finished, and how everyone was disappointed that it probably wouldn't happen. Given we're missing two of the Starjammers, but they're still the Starjammers, and Ch'od and Raja are there, who are infinitely cool on their own, and what do we have?

Why, what a surprise, more whining.

Personally, I think the preview pages look rad. And Diaz's work is awesome - so very similar to Tan's style, which makes the "bridge" between "Rise and Fall" and "Emperor Vulcan" so much easier to walk.

And Havok's leading. And Polaris isn't crazy. You know this is on my pull list.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I wonder if they'll ever have Lorna's pseudo-powers act up b/c they aren't "real"

please dont generalize bc not everyone was feeling that way

shoot Id like to know WHAT Lorna's powers are. We got a whole year of her and all we were able to make out was that she could shoot green things from her hands. What exactly was that all about
