LES SPOILERS








Sorry I'm clueless with making links that work. Cut and paste this for neat interview with Frankie Q and 4 stunners from NXM 136. I'm sure someone will come in soon and post everything proper-like, but for now....

LINK

This is about seven million times better than anything in 135. Am I being a bit overdone? I dunno. The characterization in the Beak/Angel pages alone, man, I almost wish there was no dialogue. Beautiful stuff.

Direct link here- rock'n'roll.

Looks kickarse- U-Men! Angel and Beak definitely a couple!

When does the damn thing come out?

The link for the large picture of the third page there is broken (at the moment), but click here and you'll see it.

You know, you'd think one of the victims of the first attack would've been able to describe the big jelly-skinned skeleton guy (he is kind of unique looking, after all) to the police, instead of just saying "they were wearing striped shirts", thus identifying the culprits and saving a lot of trouble over the next few months... Nah.

Aside from that, this looks pretty cool. Still some U-Men lurking around, eh? I had hoped they wouldn't vanish altogether.

THE PULSE: After this project what else are you working on?

QUITELY: Two creator-owned projects, both with Grant, and a couple of other little things.


Anybody heard anything about this then?

i had the good fortune of picking up the advanced copy of this issue. IMO, i believe this to be one of the best single issues of morrison's run so far.

there is a sinister pulse running under and over all the events in this issue. just a creepy vibe.

there is a page having to do with xorn that gave me shivers. ominous.

just you wait.

Spoiler warning ... for those who care.



So it's the U-Men stalking Xorn's students. I've come to see them as the al Qaida of New X-men, they're rabid fundamentalists pursuing paradise who want to usurp Xavier's dream and make their own philosophy the dominant superhuman ideology. Plus they covet mutants' weapons of mass destruction.

Krakaboom, I'm intrigued by the scene with Xorn that gave you shivers. Here we have possibly the most powerful mutant on earth who seems very niave about the use of his powers and is prone to black moods that could destroy the world. He's very Zen but could bring about the apocalypse - maybe he reflects the 'sleeping giant' that is China, the superpower in waiting yet to really exert its influence on the world. I'm intrigued at what impact exposure to the Institute and Xavier's dream will have on him.

i would love to comment on your assertions about xorn, quireboy. but i dont want to say much more. heh. not like i say much on these boards in the first place. just this...

"...naive about the use of his powers..." i like that. possible. but after reading the aformentioned page, i have the feeling xorn knows EXACTLY what he is capable of.

I've just read the 4 page preview over at Comics Continuum. Very funny. I like it when the truck drives into all the men and sends the naked dead man flying.

I like it when.
