@Thunderscream: Wolfsbane effectively retired to raise her kid, over in X-factor.

But a vampire and a werewolf on the X-men? can't decide if I love it or hate it..

and Kitty is essentially a ghost ;) It's like that show, Being Human

@georgia251: uuuuuh, this doesn't have anything to do with X-Men....but that kinda looks like, I think her name was Witchfire from Champions Online.

I'm interested to see how the dynamic of Storm and Psylocke will play out in 2 books simultaneously. I've been Psylocke obsessed for 20+ years so I pretty much pick up anything she's in (except that mucked up Exiles nonsense, blech and any issue drawn by Greg Land, double blech)

I haven't seen much of Jubilee since the vampiric transformation, that'll be fun to see too. They better bring in some supporting ladies as mentioned in a few other threads. Blink, Dust, Magma, Husk, Frenzy, they need some tender lovin'.

@time: Agreed about Frenzy, she's way too cool to ignore.

I think Blink, Husk and Dust need some page time too, they could finally address Blink's psychological state after Seline's manipulation, Husk's molting skin....let's get to the root of that for heaven's sake! and wasn't Dust on the verge of turning into a glass statue before Ink used his fake Phoenix powers to cure her? Loop-holes, people, they get left open way too often, then writers leave the book and nobody gives a Squirrel Girl's tail about it.

Boom Boom is too similar to Jubilee for my taste (bubble-gum poppin' 90s mall-rat type) I appreciate her cult following though, you guys n' gals are few and proud and I respect that :) Lila Cheney though, if there's no Blink, she could be fun to jaunt the X-Ladies across the cosmos.

I know Pixie has a huge fan base but I'm just not into her, I think she got overexposed way too fast, put her on the back-burner and let some other characters shine for a bit.

Siryn/Banshee is off playing Celtic Death Goddess :-(, Dazzler is hopping realities in the yawntastic X-Treme X-Men, M, Polaris and Layla are prolly consumed by X-Factor duties, where's Wolfsbane these days? Karma's with Astonishing X-Men but I haven't really flipped through that one all that much....does she get much action? How about Magma? She's beautiful, powerful, Mephisto is like totally into her O.o

Boooooo. How many times can the "Traitor among us" angle get rehashed? I actually learned to appreciate Bachalo's style even though sometimes everything just looks like an amorphous blob....that's not the problem for me....and I like that this is pretty much a new Brotherhood cloaked in the guise of X-Men....but C'MON!

It was Gambit. It was Xavier. It was Bishop. We know the drill and we're tired of it.

I say stick with it.

I hate it when they make a major change to a character and then the next guy who comes along reverts it in a flash and acts like nothing ever happened. If they've changed Jubilee then they better deal with it.

So far I'm okay with how she's been depicted as a vamp, and I think the appeal of the mutant characters (at least, at first) was that their powers were both a blessing and a curse. With vamp powers and the torture of having to restrain her bloodlust, I think Jubilee gains that new dimension.

my sentiments exactly

I'd like for it to follow some of the younger gals since the A-list ladies are already getting so much exposure. (and I loves me some Psylocke y'all, don't get me wrong)

Jubilee, Magma, Blink, Dust & Husk as the main cast

with appearances by Surge, Mercury & The Stepford Cuckoos :)

I've been retracing my steps from around the time I began collecting comics (1991) and picked up a few issues of Guardians of the Galaxy centered around the Phoenix arc. Bat-Wing was mui mui protective of Rhodney and miles beyond distraught when Rhodney got vaporized.....I know they coulda just been besties, but I really feel like maybe they were intended as a 31st Century gay mutant couple.

Thoughts?

Name: Richard (Dick) Clark Lang

Bio:

@lorbo: I don't mind her having a minor increase in strength, and I understand the need for durability in her case. The water weakness seems kinda silly though, who would make a suit that's useless when wet? She doesn't seem too overly powered in the first place to need that kind of hinderance. A speedster/flyer whose special suit amplifies kinetic inertia and gives some level of strength and durability sounds pretty clean and simple....the adhesion idea is cool too, but I think she needs gloves and for that to be an additional feature to the suit instead of focused through her skin. Ditch the selectively intangible cape and give her goggles or a facial shield or something so she doesn't get flies in her eyes while she's picking up speed.

Just my opinions, do with them what you may.
