It's in this month's Previews. Here's the cover: Somebody else around here's a big fan of the series... Reboot, or maybe Drake.

I'll have to check out V2#1 and the trades for the prior run. Just thinking about the fate of the Tsunami titles now... New Mutants --> Relaunched as New X-Men: Academy X after #13, in Top 30, about to get a spin-off mini Runaways --> Cancelled before the brilliant Digest nos came in, quickly uncancelled and a relaunch planned as soon as the artist had got a bit ahead Mystique --> Cancelled @ #24. Longest unrelaunched survivor Venom --> Cancelled @ #18, and survived that long only on name recognition (titles which launch with 90k orders should not get cancelled at #18. This bombed simply by virtue of being unreadable) Sentinel --> Cancelled @ #12, a digest didn't save it Bill Jemas' Namor --> Cancelled @ #12 Inhumans --> Cancelled @ #12, just been given a digest Human Torch --> Cancelled @ #12 Ummm... ow. Did better than the following years' equivalent offerings though, of which Iron Fist got done @ #6, Warlock @ *#4* only Cable/Deadpool is making to #15 (and that had been due to launch months earlier, but got delayed half a year by the artist getting pulled twice to do other stuff), with Cap/Falc getting killed @ #14 (a Capless relaunch may or may not have Priest writing) and a Runawaysesque relaunch due for She-Hulk after #12.

She's got a crush on Nico, but she's not sure if that could be due to the fact that she's an alien. Maybe all aliens in her race are gay until they hit 18, and so forth) Alien with light-related powers. Flying blaster, basically, power. Gert - Telepathic link with her pet raptor. Daughter of time-travellers. Molly - Superstrong mutant, daughter of telepathic mutants, and by far the youngest of the group Chase - the powerless one & token guy. He had flaming gauntlets & X-ray specs he "borrowed" from his genius parents in series 1, but they were destroyed Most of the rest is in the issue.

I loved the trades... and I thoroughly enjoyed the new #1. The main group needs some more boys, though. I'd love to see a storyline set in the future referenced in this story. An intriguing leader for THE AVENGERS... the FANTASTIC FOURTEEN (???!!!!) Eventually, a crossover with THE THUNDERBOLTS would be fun... the two titles with the best opening twists EVER *should* have their characters meet. Who else thinks that at least some of The Pride will turn up?

Nico's fight with Wrecker really shows that you don't want to get on that girls bad side. I'm enjoying Excelsior and I hope Phil will finally take up the mantle of the Blue Wail that Spider-girl has teased us about. It's awesome that the new "Hostel" at the La Brea Tar Pits Museum since I have many found memories going there. Future-Gert (if she is the real deal) was intriguing and I hope at least one thing she mentioned comes true (Hisako joining the X-Men). I really felt for Chase there at the end. Oh and FYI Disaster Boy, Julie was telling the truth. The Power's often share codenames with there siblings along with there powers.

Although one wonders what's up with Old Lace with that look, unless that's a just a smile. What do you mean by "Is this another Kitty/Lockheed?", FerroBoy? If you're just refering to their relationships to each other, then no. Lockheed decided to join up with the X-Men because he thought they (and Kitty in particular) were fascinating. While Old Lace has yet to be shown as more then a designer pet/bodyguard raptor for Gert with a psi-link "command system". I'm not dissing Old Lace it's just currently we don't know "The Way She Works".

It could be refering to just a simple crush, IE one where you don't really want to date the person, you just have a certain admiration for them. I do admit that the humanoid Lockheed as seen in the Crosstime Caper did have romantic feelings for Kitty. That ended up annoying 616 Lockheed and made Kitty blush.

Remember we haven't really "gotten in his head" since then. Most writers don't realize he's his own complex character and not just "Kitty's dragon". Not that I couldn't keep talking about Lockheed but we should probably go back on topic. So do y'all think Chase should stay just driving "Frogger" or get a new gadget so he can go back to being "in the trenches" with the rest of the troop?

What I always enjoyed about the lil' guy was knowing what he was thinking without needing to know exactly WHAT he was thinking. His mind was so alien that Professor X couldn't read it, so that one story always struck me as needlessly silly... like fitting dragonwings on a tomato, if you will...

The characters are more likeable each and every issue it appears. I have *got* to get my hands on the first series. I think Karolina might be my favorite now, but I’m still too new a fan to be sure yet. The best part of the issue for me had to be the dialogue of the Doom-Bot. Let’s face it: I was pretty certain that somehow Doom wouldn’t be his father. And I was further certain that it was a Doom-Bot and not Doom they were facing. BUT, the writing was so spot on and the dialogue was so funny, that I couldn’t help but keep forgetting this wasn’t the real Doom! Calling the girls his harem, throwing one girl into the other flawlessly, calling another a dwarf…not bad for a one-issue fake villain! And then, I have to admit I was shocked: Ultron! And what an entrance! And then it clicked with me: parents so far have been time-travelers, sorcerers, mad-scientists, aliens, etc.—of course there’d be a robot one! It’s the next classic genre of comic book villain! Each issue leaves me wanting more. And it appears that the guy helping team “Excelsior” might not actually be bad, which would be very refreshing, since that idea has been done to death.

I really need to read it in TPB format to enjoy it. Brubaker on Uncanny X-men, now that is a comic I can't wait to read. I haven't enjoyed X-Men like that since reading the Classic X-Men reprint series. Wheddon on Runaways will probably be good in attracting a bunch of readers to the series. I just hope that it won't suffer from delays and such like AXM has.

I'm really, really glad that Xavin the Skrull survived and is now officially a member. Yes, a Skrull is a member of a Marvel team of heroes, without fudging on his identity. Would it attract more readers if I mention that he spends a bunch of his time in the shape-changed form of a girl so as to keep the attentions of his lesbian fiancee?

B. CEBULSKI & DAVID SEXTON Penciled by PHIL NOTO & ERIC NGUYEN Cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC Bestowed with powers she barely understands, how does one of Marvel's youngest magic users, Sister Grimm from Runaways, deal with her newfound mystic abilities... when all she wants to do is be a normal teenager?! As her parents' past comes back to haunt her, Nico Minoru learns that there may be more to her magical lineage than even she could have imagined. One look in the sacred Black Mirror sends Nico looking for answers she may not like discovering. PLUS: The final chapter of Ian McNee’s quest. Will he possess the four cornerstones of the magic? What shocking revelation does he learn about his past and what does this mean to the Marvel Universe?

See the Mystic Arcana thread (the title of which should really be despecified from the BK issue). And it helps if you spell "Arcana" right My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I didn't realize Whedon was only on for six issues. Terry Moore should be a good fit, but Ramos? Just.... no. This isn't a book I want looking THAT cartoon-y; I wish they were keeping Mike Ryan on the title.

I just caught up with my reading... reread 1 and 2 before finishing out the first arc. Moore is good here... I especially love his Molly. And let me eat some Humble Pie regarding Ramos on the art chores. Other than his Old Lace, which is kind of weird, his work's been great.

S Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 9,036 I have been, but it's been a slow burn, as expected. Three issues in, and they haven't even got the gang together yet. There's a page in the third issue where the crew have snuck into a dorm to visit someone, and they are standing in the hall when a student walks out of her dorm room and sees them. They look like normal teens/twentysomethings, not out of place, except for the bigass honking dinosaur with the nose ring, who turns her head and looks at the student. The student mutters 'nope' and turns and goes back into her room and shuts the door. Old Lace smiles. I loved that scene. Wrapped Around Your Finger now complete in BITS!

I still can't believe WHAT Tony Stark did in the second issue he is such an ass.
