Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities "House of M"

It's nice to see a former Legionnaire get a high profile gig like this. He's really come into his own. (too bad he doesn't come back to visit)

Re: the poster -- Moon Knight! Iron Fist! Cloak & ... where's Dagger?? I'm more excited about these guys than any any Avenger or X-Man.

also:
Dazzler??
is that Mockingbird???
And is that Cannonball in front of X-23?
And geez Bendis, does Daredevil have to be here??

I think Cap got ahold of Chuck Taine's soder cola

I just shudder to think what this new series (mini?) will do to the Scarlet Witch. I can only hope that they are able to restore her sanity and heroism. That poor woman has been through enough.

I think maybe the plot is about a villain who's somehow stealing all the heroes' necks.

Mockingbird, are you talking about the girl next to Cloak, I thought it looked like Black Cat.

Black Cat has white hair - that woman is blonde, so I think probably not. I'm actually starting to wonder if they gave Dagger a new costume?

It's Black Cat - why the hell all the wishful thinking on this?

Bigger Version

And, in other news, Falcon's got the wrong wings (that pair blew up in Cap/Falcon #2 and he's using huge hardlight wings now), given how Mystique's solo series ended, I don't even want to think why the hell she's there, Luke Cage looks stupid and why Cloak without Dagger? (And why does Cloak's, well..., cloak look like it's posed to cover someone up to his right, our left?)

What wishful thinking? It didn't even occur to me it was her considering the hair color - that's all (it's not like she was an obvious choice to be in this lineup). And from the smaller pic, I originally mistook her forehead to be part of the mask (like Mockingbird).

Maybe Cloak's cloak is covering Dagger?

They all look pretty recognizable (in the big pic) to me. Except for the one to the right (our left) of Moon Knight. Who is that?

What the hell is that on his head? One of his kid's diapers? (or hasn't Jessica had the kid yet?)

Why do they color Black Cat blonde sometimes, can't people just get a color and stick with it! You might be able to tell that I'm really finicky with my colors...

Forge?

What happened at the end of Mystique's series?

Nightcrawler needs to control his tail better -it seems to have a mind of its own.

If that is X-23's new look -I hate it. Much prefer her current look.

I love that Dr Strange and Iron Fist are involved.

Strange. As my interest in DC increases, my interest in Marvel books is dwindling. I could care less about the House of M.

It might be Forge. I thought it might be Frenchie, Moon Knight's helicopter pilot/partner.

Yep.

She tried to kill Xaver, P.O.ed the X-Men, REALLY P.O.ed Forge and slipped away after nicking Forge's anti-Mystique-finding gadget.

It's Bendis' new White Tiger

So Forge is back as well? Don't you just love the revolving door they installed at the mansion.

Who? The girl behind Cannonball in the old Wolverine outfit? Aside from the fact that she's wearing a version of Wolverine's old costume, she doesn't appear to have the amulet around her neck. What makes you say that's her (I don't think we've seen her in costume yet) ?

Well, Forge has been established as working for the Prof in the "Mystique" series. He just hasn't been in the mansion.

Never picked up a copy of that one, even to look at. The only X 'villain' series I've read is Emma's books and I've grabbed those in digest form.

Last I remember of Forge he had retracted his proposal to Storm and left (with Mystique?). That was, hell, 1992? The first cover with Storm standing in the rain (most recently redone, with great effect, by Greg Land).

Go look at the Women of Marvel Handbook.

Neither White Tiger nor X-23 are in the Women's Handbook.

Meant the MKHB.

Ah, don't have that one. Sure looks like the same costume from the poster except the coloring. Wonder if the colorist knew who it was supposed to be?

SO... the focus of this book will be on a mammoth cast of characters I don't care much about and some new folks I've never heard of instead of on Magneto, Quicksilver, Wanda and Polaris?

Marvel may be losing a sale here....

That's exactly what I thought. And don't forget Crystal-- Quicksilver's on-again/off-again wife. And since The Vision's popped up again (sorta) in YOUNG AVENGERS, he should be included, too.

Then again, since I love ALL of those particular characters, maybe it's a good thing that Bendis and company seem to be ignoring all but Mags and Wanda.

It all seems like a big excuse for several mutant/Magneto centered alternative futures/worlds. Which is all right as far as it goes... but doesn't really explore the 'House of M' as I see it.
