How much longer did that X-Factor team last after issue 100 anyway? I vaguelly remember Strong Guy had a heart attack, half the team got posessed and then the Age of Apocalypse happened. What happened after that?

I believe the classic David team was effectively dissolved in the aftermath of AoA -- it then transitioned into the period where Forge, Mystique, Sabretooth (!), Wildchild, and Shard, Bishop's holographic dead sister from the future (trips over a convolution, breaks his nose) were the new government-sponsored team. Then they "broke away" from the gov't into an extremely interesting and new plot for two issues (#s 132-133). And then I remember that just as suddenly it sucked again, and I don't quite remember why.

Howard Mackie wrote it. That's why.

I don't like Salvador Larroca much, but I skimmed a wee interview with Peter Millicent in that 'Writers on Comicbook Scriptwriting 2' that just came out, wherwe he was talking about having X-Statix on 'hiatus' (???) and how he was thinking about doing something interesting with the mechanics of Ro-Gambit's relationship. Sounded alright, anyway.

By the way, I'm now broadcasting live (and from hence) and direct from Glesca on dial-up, in case anyone's interested.

I quite like the Havok costume actually...that Polaris costume is retched, though.

This is going to be interesting...mostly because it LOOKS like a regular X-Men comic, but with Milligan...who knows. I wonder which one will be first to get naked and have a crack problem?

I've always liked Havok...glad to see him in a major X again...Logan looks mad at something. What a surprise! Maybe it's because this is the 10th book he's in, and still not a team leader.

Iceman tried to get Rogue to lick his snowballs a while back and I'm almost certain he once got Polaris to do exactly that (or not)! Does Gambit and Havok know whatta big slut Bobby really is/was? Are they gonna pound his ass because of this and if they do will this make him a bigger slut than he already is?

Just wondering...

If any state-side fans are interested, I can scan in an offer from Marvel for a very cheap subscription to the series (expires 10/31). It works out to be like a buck an issue.
