Man that belt buckle. They should have gone ahead and put some steer horns or something on there.

I thought Cyclops' eye beams made it impossible for him to cry.

nah, Cyke has cried plenty of times before. I like the idea of the reverse triangle with Laura/Scott/Jean...but im not sold on the way Bendis writes her. Hopefully he grows into the character and makes her dialogue more like something she would actually say.

Honestly, I actually like the budding relationship between Cyclops and X-23.

On an additional note, I am prepared to marry this art. That's how much I love it.

*draws attention away from terrible love triangle and to the fact that Warren was drinking out of a curly straw*

@life_without_progress: I can't help but picture him trying to come up with some cheesy pick-up line involving their names. "Angela? (point to self) Angel. Ah?" or "So did you fall down from Heaven, or did you just not see me up there before?" or... Yeah, I'm reaching here...

Angel trying to holla at Angela is funny, because she actually was an Angel. Wonder if Bendis did that on purpose. Genius if he did.

The art is very nice. I like that. Is Guardians of The Galaxy actually good thus far? What does anyone think of this series? I had a thought about following this for a while now.

I know there are a lot of Bendis hate out there, but so far I love what he's done with Guardians and the X-teams.

Will someone please get Bendis away from existing characters already?

And stop giving him the decent artists too while you're at it.

A boring, unoriginal "are you still guilty of something if you have not done it yet" story combined with a literally ruinous treatment of both X-23 (in All New X-men) and Star-Lord (In Guardians of the Galaxy).

A disgusting mess.

@nfareed71024: Bendis has written far better things in the past. The problem is his characterization, particularly of young characters, is extremely inconsistent. A couple of us are now getting irritated because of his handling of Laura. X-23 is a character who speaks so formulaically that half the time she doesn't even use contractions in her sentences -- yet in Bendis' hands she yells "call me nuts" and asks pointless questions in the heat of battle. Add to that her being tossed directly from the traumatic experience of Avengers Arena into a pseudo-romance that makes no sense whatsoever, and you're going to get frustration from a lot of her fans.

For myself, I've been enjoying ANXM and UXM, but I didn't have much prior knowledge of the characters so had nothing to compare their characterization to. I've heard similar complaints about other characters in the books to the ones I'm now having about X-23. Having just read Bendis' Daredevil run, I find the current stuff of his tremendously underwhelming.

@akbogert: i respect your opinion and completely understand but his mishandling of x-23 should not throw what he did for the marvel universe out the window
