X-Men - Part 5

For true.

That's awesome, though I eel the AoA section should have had an AoA sentinel.

And Generation X

Why the heck isn't Polaris drawn with the original Xmen? Her omission is glaring

 

[squeekness]

Hey I am just happy Gambit made it not once, but twice.

 

[javi1024]

Actually three times if you count Age of X Gambit.

Interesting they don't have anyone from the current Uncanny team. Are they not considered "X-Men"?

Where? I didn't see that one..... Oh wait, yeah. Just his head. It was so tiny.

 

[BoredGuy]

that is definitely pretty awesome

also goes to show how homogeneous the "superhero comic art" style is, that 12 artist/inker/colorist teams could work on individual bits of it and yet it still meshes without being too jarring

not that that's a bad thing necessarily, I mean, whoda thunk the likes of Simonson, Bachalo and Joe Mad's art would ever be combined so successfully



Oh, And, Just to note:
the Winner of "Most Times on the Poster" goes, in an upset, to:
ICEMAN! with 5 appearances
(not totally surprising, Iceman is insanely fun to draw, and he's pretty much always been an X-Man even when others left, but still, suck on that, Wolvie haters)

Not something any man wants to hear a woman say.

That's an awesome picture. Is that just a picture you found online or is that a poster they are releasing? I got all of them except for the bottom right, but if that's Age of X it makes sense. I haven't read that one.

those are all the 50th anniversary X-men alternate covers pieced together

[Donnie Darko]

What's the story with Bishop? Is he back on the side of the angels?

 

[JewishHobbit]

I think so. I dropped the book, but I think he repented of his acts while far in the future where Cable had sent him. He made his way back and is trying to save everyone from Cassandra Nova (or something like that... that's mostly on skims).

 

[Specter313]

Pretty much. Storm also had Psylocke erase most if not all of those memories of him hunting Hope as they were essentially killing him. He recently found out and was pretty ticked about it, though.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Ah, thanks guys.

 

[Hypestyle]

Bishop's ruined for me. I don't like what was done to him at all. Not sure it's worth even trying to follow what's going on on now in the X-books.

 

[OutcryX]

Bishop is awesome.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Bishop used to be awesome. Then he sucked horribly and was ruined for me. Hopefully he'll be salvaged now, but I doubt it.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I think it was explained that it wasn't Bishop trying to kill Hope and Cable, but Bishop being controlled by Cassandra Nova.

Am I correct?

 

[Havok83]

WTF does Nova have to do with anything? How random

Mmm that doesn't sound right. From a quick skim of Uncanny X-Force #5, He was totally himself when he went rogue and tried to kill Hope. It wasn't until after he got lost in the far future that he became Revenant hunter and first tangled with their queen, Cassandra Nova. It seems she poisoned his mind and sent him back to our current time to attack Psylocke's team at the beginning of the series.

Pretty much. Storm also had Psylocke erase most if not all of those memories of him hunting Hope as they were essentially killing him. He recently found out and was pretty ticked about it, though.

Actually I think it looked like Storm was the one to kill that memory because at that point she lost her friend. They were walking through his mind and she zapped the memory herself it looked like. Not quite sure how she would be able to physically do that.

A Nightcrawler ongoing? I loved the last (short lived) one. And while most have said that Claremont's not any good these days, I find I still enjoy his work. So I'm sorta excited about this.

 

[venom892]

If it's a Nightcrawler series, I might be interested. It might be a mini like the Doop comic.
