We Are The X-Men

(That was directed at Shark Boy, of course.)

Wait, so Hulk and Thundra's daughter from an alternate future is going to be on the X-Men? Is Fraction going all Loeb on us?

Guess we know these two survive Second Coming and World War Hulks respectively though.

um its shark man.... get it right....
and good point about secret avengers....

The X-Men are busting out of the 1991 X-Men #1 cover by Jim Lee, probably symbolizing a break of the "what does being an X-Man mean?" paradigm.

So here I am, reading the thread, and getting ready to explain the presence of old school Beast as a juxtaposition of what the X-Men were with what they're becoming. Then you stole my thunder. Whore.

Don't forget about my Blackest Night #8 theft of your thunder as well.

I'm in your head, man.

ZOMBIE ZOMBIE ZOMBIE-BIE-BIE!

This is actually ripping in the seem between X-Men #1 Covers A and B. I want to know more about why it was chosen to be that particular combination of covers myself. (For those to young to remember the 90's X-Men #1 had 5 variant covers that fit together like a puzzle)

I honestly have no idea what's going on in X-men forever. All I know is Remy Picard; Wolverine is dead, and Storm is a loli. And Kurt is human. I let myself be biased against it.

It isn't a bias, that shit sucks.

Tomer Soiker wrote:^ I doubt that, with the look of Beast in Secret Avengers.

Looks like it's Marvel's way of integrating the X-Men into the "Heroic Age."

Your right, I am hoping the Heroic Age is not as bad as the Forever books. You know I was acctually excited at the announcement of X-men Forever, remember the old Avengers book. Boy did they shit on my delusions.

I think there are 6-year-olds that bought all the X-Men #1 covers with their first dollar.

haha i think i have about 15 copies of the xmen #1 variants.... it seems like everyone bought it when it came out. I am tired of looking at peoples crap comics. Someone on craigs list is like Oh I have xmen... i go out there and bam its like 5 versions of #1.....

Names Gambit, mind if I deal?

All I can say is they better not have Spider-Man on the X-Men. He's on the New Avengers in New York, so how can he be on the X-Men in San Francisco at the same time?

Here's the newest:



Well this is becoming more and more confusting by the day, lol.

Is that Blade? And Hope is rocking the phoenix outfit but ALSO carrying giant guns. If only she had a bunch of useless pouches...

I think the marketing for this is brilliant.

It really is. Marvel sure knows how to get people talking about their stuff.

And we all know they can't use 'being good' as marketing, so they have to hook us in with cool pictures.

I like how they didn't bother to take the white out of the backround around the trigger area on the gun.

Email that to Photoshop Disasters!

totally.

Well, Blade is kind of a mutant. At least as much as Namor, right?

Blade and Hope?


Huh? Isn't Blade just half vampire?

Blade was born with mutated genes.
