Young X-Men

[Darthphere]

Is doing a few covers "being on the project"?

Yes.

 

[PhotoJones]

Oh.

Anyway, I guess the Dodsons are now officially done with DC.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know who all of those characters are. I recognize Rockslide, Dust, I think maybe Surge, and that werewolf kid who hasn't done much of anything for a long time. Who are the others and what the hell happened to the rest of the New X-Men?

Also, I'm a little worried about their stated purpose in the back of X-Men #207. Hunting down and "eliminating" Brotherhood of Evil Mutants members? Is Scott going all militant, all the time now? Is he gonna be the new Malcolm X to Professor X's MLK Jr. whenever Professor X manages to fix his head?

 

[PhotoJones]

I don't know, but I'm not interested at all in picking this book up. I don't care about the characters and the premise sounds like X-Force-lite.

 

[Darthphere]

Cyclops: "Kill everything!!!!!"

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Except Cable, 'cause I was just testing him to see if he would hand over the kid. He's okay now. Give him back his baby and send him on his way."

 

[PhotoJones]

I'm surprised he gave in like that. And was he...kneeling...before Scott?

 

[Darthphere]

Scott is the new Zod.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No way, dude. He was genuflecting.

 

[PhotoJones]

He seemed to be crouching for much of this issue anyway.

 

[Anubis]

Well, he did just get shot in the back like, maybe a day or two ago comic time. Maybe he popped a stitch?

Also, whose the bald dik with the tats? Professor X from an alternate future where he became a skin head instead?

 

[PhotoJones]

I thought maybe be crouching just to get as close to the ground as he could to avoid gunfire and whatever else was flying through the air. He had a baby, after all.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, that's one of the dudes I'm confusd about too.

 

[PhotoJones]

Who are any of them? I recognize Rockslide and Dust. That's it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The werewolf kid is Wolf Cub. He hung around the mansion during some of Austen's Uncanny X-Men run. I think he went berserk and tore Morph apart in a crossover with the Exiles.

 

[PhotoJones]

His Wiki says that Blindfold is another one of them. The others must be new characters.

 

[Anubis]

How can they have new characters? No more mutants remember?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

His Wiki says that Blindfold is another one of them. The others must be new characters.

Yeah, I don't get that. Did Blindfold suddenly grow eyes, 'cause the only one who looks like her on that cover is that far-too-active girl with goggles.

 

[PhotoJones]

Am I the only one who thinks this book sounds pretty lame?

 

[Anubis]

No.

 

[Crosis]

Nope.

And I almost put this on my pull list. Blah.

 

[PhotoJones]

It's funny that in every incarnation of this book, be it New Mutants, Academy X, New X-Men and now this, I've never felt compelled to pick it up.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think it sounds particularly good either. I'm not sure whether I'll pick it up.

 

[PhotoJones]

I won't be. It just seems inconsequential.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm more interested in Scott's part in it than anything else. Is this actually another facet of a major character shift where Scott abandons Xavier's dream because "it died with him" and goes more militant?
