An interesting tidbit

Well, whoever said that Kuan-Yin Xorn is a girl's name was right, because the Xorn in the current Age of Apocalypse LS from Marvel IS a female. In issue 1, Magneto refers to Beak and Xorn while at a dinner with the rest of the X-Men. Beak is standing against the wall to his left, while the girl seated at the first seat to his left, who appears to be Marrow greets him. However, in page 2 of issue 2, it turn's out that the girl is not Marrow at all, and her face is now clearly shown to be a stylized mask like the Xorn in GM's run. Does this mean that we now finally have an answer to the continuity mess made in the wake of Planet X?

Nah, sadly we just have a contiuity mess around the Age of Apocolypse.

Runaways and AXM aside, Marvel's output is really dire about now.

Yeah, that's Wolfsbane. Though it would be neat if Xorn showed, it still wouldn't entice me to buy this crap after reading that first issue.

Interesting bit that may or may not be meaningless:

Kuan Yin is a woman in China -- the goddess of compassion.

But she's the Chinese version of the Indian bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, a man.

In Japan, Kuan Yin becomes a man, too -- Kannon, with the many arms (and all of them to hug you!).

I have no idea if that was in the back of some writer's mind before now, but hopefully it will be in the future.

Interesting name for a fictionsuit, at any rate.

I got the book in question... How do you know it's Husk? Argument can be made though, so I'm just interested how you pieced it together.
