Ha. SAMs or Costco membership...

First off... WHERE THE HECK IS NIGHTCRAWLER!!!!!! And that little AoA version on the bottom doesn't count...

Ok... second thing is that X-Factor is missing (PAD's version)

Also, I see Anole and Rockslide in the background of those Wolverine and the X-Men brats, but they should have been front and center with X-23, Hellion, Surge, Mercury, Dust, etc...

No Polaris, Colossus, Cable... This wasn't thought out all that well.

If I were to conduct a 50th anniversary poster with 12 sections (covers) I would have at first started off with stages of the X-Men, the O5, then the All New, then Blue/Gold. Next I would have shown the splinter teams, the original New Mutants, Gen X, and Excalibur. Then I would show the teams that had the most significance like the New X-Men students, PAD's X-Factor, and Remender's X-Force. Last I would have had Cable/ Hope/ Bishop, Wolverine and crew vs Cyclops and crew, and the women team of X-Men.

If the poster was structured like how I mentioned... then I would have no complaints.

This past winter break I was playing lots of card games (went to a cabin in the mountains for two weeks), and it got me thinking about Gambit and his signature choice of "weapon": his cards. I wonder how many deck of cards Gambit has gone through in his life? Or for that matter does he buy any sort of cards or are they a specific brand? Just a random thought...

I actually REALLY liked Remender's Uncanny X-Force! But when that ended in favor for this Uncanny Avengers crap (no offense fans) I was stunned. The concept was half interesting half annoying... and now Rogue is dead, away from her X-Men family, whether it's temporarily or not, her death, to me, is meaningless.

@fodigg: I think the amount of 70s costumes that the characters will be sporting are enough for me. Plus the other part of the film is a dystopian future... if I were them, I wouldn't want to wear a brightly colored costume. Also, I still haven't seen any photos of the 70s X-Men's costumes yet. Maybe they'll look a tad different than the uniformed-look in the first movie.

@wavemotioncannon: Thank you... I hope you had a Happy Holidays and New Year too.

I know comicbook-wise Storm is going through the mohawk-phase again but does she have to have this spiky pixie-cut!? It's very unappealing to her as a character. Storm is supposed to be a beautiful African goddess... Halle Berry does not look anywhere near those words!

Storm has had short hair plenty of times.

And Storm has been a 'goddess' 1/10th of the time in her Marvel career. She has had plenty of other versions-- Thief, Queen, Leader, Punk, etc...

Image 1 is post X-Tinction Agenda when Storm and Wolfsbane where shaved bald on Genosha. Image 2 is Storm's look after the X-Men movies declared superhero costumes "lame" and Marvel fell in line. 2 horrible examples, and I'm pretty sure the only 2 "plenty of times" Storm has had short hair.

When people refer to Storm as a "Goddess" it's a term of endearment. They don't mean the literal time she spent as the Goddess of Thunder.

You guys are missing my point... I don't need a refresher on some of her old looks, I already know that, film-wise, besides the first film and maybe the second (the third was pushing it), Storm hasn't come off as a strong character like she has in the comics. This is my opinion and observation. Partly in her design and appearance and partly in her characterization of her by Halle Berry.

She's a real run character. She is the daughter of Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch (hence her powers) from another dimension. I read the beginning/original Exiles, nothing too deep, but I did read New Excalibur and found the team dysfunctional and different. Start with New Excalibur for a taste... if you really like her character then I suggest going back further into the Exiles.

Then I suggest so homework then... she's an awesome character with tons of potential.

Oh...
