You people worry me. No one talking about the Secret Origin of Edie? No one want to talk about the wonderful Philip Bond art work? No one wondering just how Marvel are getting such great artists on this book?

There's just some great bits in this one, Edie getting pissed in the Oval office, stealing the gold and she joined X force.
What'd you think?

The only thing that kept me from starting this thred before you is that I forgot what issue # it was and couldn't bother to look it up!!!

What else can I say... if a comic could be perfect this one would be it!!!

I'm liking Venus more & more...

Kept forgetting that frame story while reading Edie's...

That writer charactor looks EXACTLY like a buddy of Mine!!! LUCK BASTARD!

THE COLOR!!! Oh the COLOR!!!

Can't we have Milligan & Bond take over Uncanny X-men as well!?!?!?

I really liked this issue... beautifully written. However, X-Statix #9 was quite possibly perfect. As much as I liked Edie I am a bigger fan of team interaction. I can't wait to see how El Guapo will change the team dynamics. It seemed as though Vivisector and Phat were interested, no? Of course, El Guapo will turn out hetero.

Now, now, Optimistic. Let's not be too hasty. They're reportedly resurrecting somebody, but Princess Di was just Rich Johnson's guess.

I know, I know, but...

Can you imagine?

I'm looking forward to it whoever it turns out to be.

I really hope they do note end up ressurrecting U Go gril, that would tkae out a lot of the emotional value of the series. (Though I would be very happy to see her coming back, what would happen with Venus, then?)

It'll be someone famous.

Allred said something about this stunt ending their careers.

What kind of costume do you think they'd give Diana?

Will she replace Dead Girl?

I love the Diana possibility. I want the tabloid press to do a run down of the 'creepy/loony Brits' who're helming the creative overhaul of comics. It'd be great.

Completely serious.

Any nitpickers, please note, I write "comics" to mean 'mainstream', and "comix" to mean 'underground'. I thought this was generally understood, but, if not, I find it to be useful shorthand.
