We've not gotten any real clues on this one. Right? Is that right?

As nonsense as it is, has anyone mentioned the Savage Land, yet?

Anybody else fascinated with the fact that Magneto chose an upside down, Mercator* map for his NU world?

*the Mercator Projection is the actual-proportionatly(sp) incorrectly drawn world map.

Kindly moderate as U will.

The days of the bi-weekly treat are over for the moment. It's out November 19, according to the extraordinarily easily searched Marvel.com.

"PLANET X" pt. 4 (of 5) The penultimate chapter in Grant Morrison's most ambitious story arc to date...Professor Xavier and his X-Men make their final stand against their most powerful foe!

I could've sworn there was a previous thread on this, but I couldn't find it, so I'll hold back my pedantic admonishments...

It looks to me like the cover might as well be the toothy, chain-filled jaws of Xorn clamped inexorably around Magneto's butt-cheeks, but I could be wrong.

They mentioned the whole world-map debate about the Mercator and the Peters Projection map on a West Wing re-run this week... I thought of Magneto as well, and wondered what he might think...

I'm, perhaps, best known in my ickle-bickle state capitol for playing Carl in Lonely Planet. Mercator/Peters, it's al one world.

I couldn't find the previous thread, either. 'Tis why I brought it up.

And is there a thread for this issue that's missed? Or are we it?

I think there was a thread for the solicitations when this image was first released... ages ago. Not much in it though...

I'm Rick Jones, bitch

Someone on CBR pointed out that this looks a lot like beak wearing the Xorn mask. Hmmmmmm.
