X-Centric: The X-Book Thread

^Dude, that shit is already on Wikipedia. Nothing is faster than the speed of nerd!

Bishop

Spoiler

I haven’t seen the issue, but from spoilers I’ve read it seems that Cyclops kills him? How is that even possible with Bishop able to absorb his optic blasts?

Yeah subscribers always get their issues a few days early lol!

Well actually

bishops death

[details=Spoiler] OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM… BURP!!

Predator x did most of the work. cyclops did mega optic blast on an already dying bishop[/details]

we may see bishop again.

I gotta pick this issue up. Shit sounds crazy.
From what I read on the net:

:
Messiah Complex

Spoiler

Bishop does the killing but not Cyclops. Prof X bites the bullet. And I guess Bishop dies too.

From wikipedia

aftermath

[details=Spoiler]Marvel will disband the X-Men following the crossover; a story-line entitled Divided We Stand will come to a close in Uncanny X-Men #500, where the team will reform to pursue Cyclops’ vision of what the X-Men should be.[3][4]

At the Baltimore Comic-Con on September 10, 2007, Marvel Comics announced that a new Cable ongoing series (which will replace the Cable & Deadpool series), with Duane Swierczynski as the writer[5] and Ariel Olivetti as the artist, will be launched after the conclusion of Messiah Complex in March 2008.[6]

X-Men vol. 2 will be renamed X-Men: Legacy as of issue #208 in February. Mike Carey will remain as writer with various artists contributing to the art, including Billy Tan, Scot Eaton, among others. David Finch will provide the cover art.[7] The book will focus on Professor Xavier, Rogue and Gambit, and will also feature important plans regarding Magneto, as well as a female character from New X-Men. Iceman will make a cameo appearance as well.[8]

New X-Men ceases publication with issue #46 (January 2008). The writers of New X-Men shift to the relaunch of X-Force, starring Wolverine, X-23, Warpath, and Wolfsbane. Clayton Crain will serve as artist.[9]

A Young X-Men title will be launched after Messiah Complex according to a Marvel press release. [10] No details have been given as to whether or not this title will be a replacement for New X-Men.

A promotional card given out in comic book shops, promoting the upcoming “Divided We Stand” storyline in Marvel’s mutant titles, puts the first issue of Young X-Men out in April. Marvel’s solicitations for April confirm that Young X-Men will be debuting, written by Marc Guggenheim and pencilled by Yanick Paquette. The new line-up seemingly made up of Rockslide, Dust, Blindfold, Wolfcub, Daken, and possibly a new character. [11]

Daken? Wolverine’s son? WTF?
[/details]

so i guess

spoilers sake

[details=Spoiler] Prof lives. My guess is Elixr… he’s been knocked out for days from a wall colapsing on him. He probably heals prof x.

Hey it’s not so far fetched… he essentially regrew prodigy’s heart. so healing professors wounds might not be so hard to do. Of course… if prof does live You better belive he’s going to make his own Xteam and it will conflict with cyclops’ team.

I do like that rogue is now back to rogue. but she didn’t have death touch when she touched mystique. I don’t think she has sunfire’s powers either. Just i guess shape shifting.[/details]

^you misspelled spoiler in the first tag so it won’t work!

Cyclops

Spoiler

What a douche. It’s the Xmen because my name is Professor X bitch. When the team is named summers boys, then you can get uppity. until that time, know your role.

I know… but i fixed it so :razz:

Actually that’s not why they are X men.

X is for the X gene that makes them mutants. Not for Xavier. But i feel you…
If he changes the name to “Scott Summers and the chimeny sweeps” That would give him more liscense.

and fuck spoiler tags hides under a rock from sano
j/k

Lol! :rofl:

Messiah complex was great…but will the Cable comic be a failure once again?

Cyclops/Bishop

Spoiler

if you read CW:x-men, it gives you a clue that cyke is capable. Cyke was shooting at bishop and bishop was shooting the blast back at the door of one of iron man’s or shield’s base cuz a number of mutants were locked in

Well im waiting to getting the book this very moment and by the end i know it’ll turn out well. But i agree the new x-force is looking good with all the killers on a team and what not

Did anyone other than me enjoy Cable when it was Soldier-X for a year or so?

Bishop

Spoiler

He’s not dead. He’s definitely not. He is the antagonist in the new Cable series (WITH A VARIANT COVER BY OUR FAVORITE ARTIST ROB LIEFIELD ZOMG!!! GONNA BE GREAT) so he probably time-jumped out of there.

Carey talks about X-Men: Legacy. Spoilers all around for Messiah Complex so it you haven’t read that yet or don’t want it spoiled, look away.

sano i’m curious to hear your opinion of all that went on and concluded in messiah complex. I’m curious cause you sometimes have a different angle on comic unfoldings… You were pro registration ‘you bastard’.

How many Cyclops books have been released? I only know of Icons which was pretty good IMHO.
I also wonder…what if Cyclops COULD CONTROL his red energy blasts or whatever AND they didn’t HAVE to come out of his eyes? (Like he can project and fire them from his hand?)

I’ll bet the baby is somehow Rachel Grey or Jean reborn or something. Just throwing that out there.

after reading the interveiw… I wouldnt be surprised at all if it is Jean… or maybe rachel… but without rachel on earth to confirm what’s going on. if you think about it… there isnt much that could’ve protected the baby from rogues death touch.

… but the pheonix force could’ve protected it easily. and cleansed rogue of the strain 88 and those other peronalities. I think we’ll see some sort of “cyclops and pheonix” deal explaining who her parents were.

I liked the conclusion but I didn’t care much for the format, jumping from book to book for 13 issues. There was too much going on at once and in the end, it seemed like a lot, just too busy. Anything that dealt with Mystique / Rogue / Sinister should of been dealt with in seperate issues by themselves. I think it would of read better that way.

Mr. Sinister’s my favorite X-villain (Inferno is still my favorite X-Men crossover) so it was great to see him in a storyline that was actually good. I swear no one has known what to do with him for years until know!

In the end I liked it a lot, even if it was a little busy for my tastes. The last issue, there were just so many people that stood out. I also liked how they played really good attention to X-Men’s history and shouted out things that went down in older comics.

Can’t wait to get the TPB! I think it will read easier with all of the issues put together. Most def one for the bookshelf. :tup:

And LOL Pro-Reg is still winning. Tony Stark gets punked once in a while but he’s still running S.H.I.E.L.D. and has a skillion dollars. If Spidey would of just stayed with Tony his family would still be living in the tower under Iron Man’s protection and he could continue his threeway with Aunt May and MJ, um, EEEW… :rofl: The rest of the Avengers are still on the run, living in a broke down Starbucks where the toilet prolly doesn’t work. Dr. Strange had hemorroids in the Dead Girl series so you prolly don’t want him messing with the toilet at all unless you want to clean up his bloodstains and Preparation H droppings. Go Tony Stark, it’s all about the benjamins, baby! Hell now the X-Men are homeless bums too. :rofl:

Well for some reason I kinda figured the baby had something to do with Rachel or Jean right from the get go.

But hell who knows. On the one hand it would be nice to have Jean back, or see how Rachel was born, but the Summers/Grey timeline has gotten so convoluted already.
