Comics X-MEN: PRELUDE to an X-Men Split?

[EvilClareToo]

hmm let the speculation begin...

does their placement indicate which side each member falls on?
i doubt it, but it would be interesting to see Emma ultimately side with Wolverine

Also, i though Aurora was dead or something...?

ps. that's an amazing piece, i want it as a poster!

Hmmm, that would be interesting. Uncanny X Force is pretty much grouped on the left, with quite a few of the Hellbound team (Gambit, Northstar and Dazzler on the same team-please make it so!!!!!). You might be onto something there...

Wow, Aurora. It will be interesting to see her again. She'll be part of the Alpha Flight group, no?

Spoiler

The Only person I don't reconize in this is the dude between Colossus's arm pit. Who the hell is that?

 

[BoredGuy]

Darwin perhaps?

can't really tell until it gets colored

That's Graymalkin. He debuted in the short lived Young X-Men, not that long ago.

Ah thanks. I never read Young X-Men, I meant to, but then I forgot it came out then I heard it wasn't that great.

 

[javi1024]

i kept hearing about him. whats his power?

 

[Specter313]

Superhuman strength, agility, and vision.

While in the dark.

I'm not kidding, but he keeps some of it in light.

man that is a really ugly Cyclops.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Fingers crossed for a return to Blue/Gold

That's Graymalkin. He debuted in the short lived Young X-Men, not that long ago.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[The Englishman]

Yeah Blue and Gold need to return...

 

[Cardshark]

Yeah Blue and Gold need to return...

Looking at what Aaron has said the story is about Wolverine and Cyclops, so my guess is that it dosen't really matter what team people are on as they'll just be stuck in the background.

the first issue was pretty weak. dont think ill be sticking around for the rest.

 

[BoredGuy]

thats one ugly jean grey

 

[javi1024]

that giant helmet on Magneto makes him look like he's 12 yrs old.

 

[Havok83]

Why are they using the Non-canon First Class costumes?

How was it weak? It was well-written, though I'll admit there was a slight clash of artwork and tone.

Why are they using the Non-canon First Class costumes?

Because the artist felt like drawing them that way. As good a reason as any, no?

 

[Havok83]

I just think if you are going to portray a flashback, then at least be consistent with that flashback

Im confused about Kitty. I saw images of her from the Prelude issue and she had no helmet but in all other preview images she has it. Did she get it removed? Did her phasing problem get fixxed somewhere?

 

[BoredGuy]

^it's getting fixed in the current arc of Uncanny, I believe..
and agreed, if you're doing a 616 flashback, their costumes should be the originals

i just feel like weve seen Xavier's relationship with Scott, Scott's disdain of his power, and hesistance with leadership 1000 times before and done better.
