I picked up Astonishing on a whim this afternoon. It must suck to be Bobby. Piotr hasn't been to the mansion in a year or so and Kitty wants him. He can't catch a break in the romance department.

It was a tough decision between Emma, Kurt and Pete, but I went ahead and chose the resident brick of the X-men. In a time where anti-heroes have become popular he's stuck to his same belief that the bigger picture is a great deal more important than any want or desire he might have. I think I've always dug the introspective aspect of the character as well. The moral compass of the character really can't be swayed by anyone. Which is a shame as that personal belief of sacrificing himself for the ones he loves has cost him everyone he's loved.

Who wouldn't want Pete in their corner? He'll (literally) go to hell and back for you.

@ageofhurricane: Yeah, I thought the preview was a little underwhelming this week. I don't know if it's the whole Juggolossus and P5 mind control happening so soon, but the idea of Bishop being controlled is doing nothing for me. The worst thing they could have done was call the book Uncanny X-force. It's so...underwhelming compared to the previous two teams.

@ageofhurricane: Man. Bishop used to be so awesome. Now there's a grizzly bear living in his head...or something.

I'm going to say 'No', but that doesn't mean it's going to be a bad product. Wasn't it supposed to come out two or three months ago? You can lose a lot of buzz in that time period. If I didn't frequent this website I wouldn't know it's release date.

I've kind of forgotten how much I liked the Ultimate Run. I liked Jean, Colossus, Storm and Beast were rather fantastic.

I don't recall what issue it is, but the first time The Phoenix showed up at The Hellfire Club. Pretty good stuff.

@ageofhurricane: I'm sure the book is going to be good, man! I'm just being a gripey fanboy that wants to see Karma, Husk or a lesser known X-person in the book.

@time: Where'd you hear that? I mostly assumed the X-force books were more adult themed. Besides I'd hate for the book to just be a "Who's hooking up with who this month?!". I want to see bad guys getting their faces punched.

The main weapon to destroy the mutant race? Poor comic sales.
