    But that makes sense because Colossus is a popular character right now and stars in most of the big X-books.

    The Jean Gray thing dosen't make sense.

    That description of Colossus fits a whole bunch of X-Men. And the Origins book is the perfect way to sell a few books to Phoenix fans without actually bringing her back.

    It's Jean Grey. Of course she'll be back. That's what she does.

    Truthfully I wouldn't mind seeing her come back sometime, since she can have a truly fresh start instead of just being Cyclops' sometimes-dead-sometimes-not girlfriend.

    I know she will be back eventually.

    I just think right now is a perfectly good interpretation of eventually.

    We still dont know what big thing they are doing for UXM #500, maybe this origin story has something to do with it.

    fingers crossed

    My dream X-Men team would basically be Scott, Jean, Beast, Dazzler, Cannonball, and Husk.

    Emma can come too I guess.

    Look, Maggot is awesome. You just don't know, Bale. You just don't know.

    And I will get famous one day, see. And I'll write about Maggot. And you'll read it you will. And you'll go Daaaaamn, Maggot was pretty awesome. I should apologize to TLB. And then I'll be all like, SUCKA I WROTE THAT SHIT. And you'll be all shiiiiiiit.

    It will happen exactly like this, Bale.

    You know it.

    Kill Shatterstar instead. The other 21 pages can be shots of the pony-tailed fuck slowly decomposing while kids poke him with a stick and dare each other to pee on him..

    I wonder if he ever said that to Jeph Loeb. Or Whilce Portacio.

    I don't know, but he needs to say it to Whedon. I love the guy, but dear gods his comics take for freaking ever.
    Actually that was in reference to a couple of instances where their books were delayed due to family crises.

    Guys, I got the new issue of X-Factor on Saturday. I have to say that, honestly, it was sorta flat for me, and I didn't care for the Arcade arc all that much.

    When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    Better yet, have it happen during something unimportant.
    Like Scott's on the phone while Kitty and Peter talk about whatever was on TV last night.
    "Guys, Shatterstar's dead."
    "That's nice. So anyway, Katya, Jerry can't remember the girls name..."

    I can't confirm anything beyond the fact that the new artist (or at least the guy who did the last issue) is possibly the worst artist I've ever seen. I can't get a scan but there's a panel near the end of the issue where the X-Men are gathered for a meeting and the picture is borderline offensive to the eyes.
