Haha, I love the idea of Alex coming in and completely taking the team over. Move over Jamie!

I see Rachel dying then.

Bye! Thats no big loss. She and Jean Grey never seem to co-exist within the X-men at the same time and since I expect to see Jean return in 2012, someone's gotta go

 

[Kevin]

Like I said in the last thread. I see Rachel biting it.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yeah Jamie... move over to a real X-Men book!!!

 

[Manic]

I can see Rachel dying, but not because Jean is coming back. Hope is the current Phoenix, and they seem to be taking their sweet precious time with that one. The longer Rachel and Hope co-exist, the longer fans will wonder why Rachel hasn't explained the Phoenix Force, and that's likely going to be Jean's job.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I like Rachel! Can Hope die instead?

 

[runawayboulder]

Geez, the Summers clan can't get a break. Nate comes back, Rachel gets killed, Cable comes back, somebody else gets killed, Jean comes back, somebody else will die....

 

[Havok83]

Well this has totally been the year of the Summers. We've had X-man join the X-men, Rachel reappeared , Havok returns (tomorrow!) and Cable shows up by the end of the year.

Too many red headed women with access to the PF. Yeah, Rachel's totally redundant

I like it when writers in the X-Office acknowledge the Summers family actually care about one another at best remember they even exist. Seeing Scott send the New Mutants after Nate to bring him home was sweet and when he briefly contacted Rachel.

I would of liked to see Scott and Alex on the same team for a change working together. That would of been cool.

One thing I've noticed lately (and I can only wonder if the writers did this on purpose) is that all of the original 5 X-Men are in pieces. I don't just mean that they're broken up as a group. I mean Jean is going through a cycle of deaths and rebirths while coping with a cosmic entity, Warren is trying to control his darker half, Bobby is disillusioned and pretty much hopeless (Fraction wrote him as uncharacteristically nihilistic shortly after the team moved to Utopia), Hank got fed up and left, and now Scott is taking more extreme measures. It's like the burden of protecting the people who hate them while also serving as models for the rest of the mutant race was way too damn much for a bunch of kids to handle, and now they're all cracking in their 30's. Bobby's even going out of his way to tell the new kids that they'll never be as good as his original class all the time..

This...this would be something I would pay to read. I wholeheartedly agree that exploring the cracks in the original 5 would be a super interesting read!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Pff, Hank ain't cracking. He's just disgusted with how the rest of those losers are cracking.

 

[Havok83]

Look who's back

 

[Manic]

It's Alex, Lorna, and Cloud Strife Korvus! Where's Rache?

 

[Havok83]

It's Alex, Lorna, and Cloud Strife Korvus! Where's Rache?

sleeping

 

[squeekness]

Korvus! Yay! I liked him.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, I dig Korvus

 

[Havok83]

Id take Korvus back over Rachel

 

[Colossal Spoons]

You dislike her like I loathe Hope lol

 

[Havok83]

You dislike her like I loathe Hope lol

Haha, that might be the case. As much as Ive hated that the X-Jammers have been in limbo, the one good thing about that is that it also meant Rachel wasnt around...lol

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I haven't read X-Men in forever. How long as Alex been using that costume? I really like it.

 

[Manic]

Around 5 years, I think.

 

[Havok83]

Its defiently his best look. It combines elements from his previous costumes. It has the large circular energy signature from his original costume. It contains the headgear from his original X-factor costume and the basic design is from his ReLoaded costume. Thats not even the best rendition of it. I thought Larroca did it best

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I haven't read since Whedon's Astonishing. I really want to catch up on all the X-Men stuff I've missed. But I'm kind of afraid to. A lot has happened.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Whedon's AXM is the most overrated arc of the last decade.
