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

    Looking forward to reading Paul Cornell's issue of Young Avengers. I haven't read many of his comics, but I love his TV work. Should be interesting to see how he handles The Vision.

    Well every cover I've seen so far has had someone being kicked or punched or otherwise hit in the face, so... yeah, I guess it does.

    Also, apparently the solicitation for Young X-Men is supposed to be in this month's solicitations.

    Great! Except it will very likely just say "censored until the end of 'Messiah CompleX'" or something instead of any actual information about who the heck is on the team.

    Rockslide
    Dust
    Wolf Cub (?)
    Gentle (?) (Tattoo guy... although they're supposed to be vibranium)

    Don't know who the second girl or the other bald guy are supposed to be.

    Was the team change really necessary? I really liked the New X-Men lineup. :?

    I've heard (but can't verify) that Pixie is gonna show up in either Uncanny or Legacy. I'm betting on Uncanny. There's also an opening on X-Factor.

    The good money is probably on whoever isn't in YXM being in Uncanny. I've heard that all of the lineups, save for X-Factor, are getting major shake ups. For that matter, I'd say that YXM will probably have more than just that team as well. If we're lucky, it'll play out kinda like NXM did, with two teams getting the focus instead of just one.

    Yeah, I'm wondering what the heck it is the Red Skull attacks.

    Well, he controls a large private army that is probably better trained than SHIELD on its best day, has amassed through Lukin (and this is saying something considering the Skull once was the Secretary of Defense) enough political connections and capital to make him untouchable (which is why Steve couldn't stop him before Civil War), he has amassed considerable financial power through Kronas, which has for a while owned Roxxon Oil and is probably the largest energy production corporation on Earth, and all of that is run by a man who Brubaker has established is a) the anti-Cap--the embodiment of terror, and b) wants to destroy the United States. He has the power to literally turn out the lights on the U.S.

    The solicit mentions the Midwest, and if I were to guess I'd say that there are enough reasons that it's probably an attack on Chicago.


    I was reading the X-Force preview on CBR, and let me say: I am really digging the art.

    From the CBR previews, it looks like April is the month for finales. The 7 Capital Cities of Heaven, Ultimates 3, Ultimate Human, Annihilation Conquest, and the Apocalypse arc in UXM are all ending that month.

    Interesting to note that almost all of the X-Books are classified until Thursday, and we finally know who is writing Young X-Men (Marc Guggenheim).

    Wow that didn't last long at all......New series have it rough anymore. At least Blade and Ant-Man got to twelve issues each. Did The Order sell THAT MUCH WORSE than those two? I bet it would have gotten to at least 25 if it had been called Champions. I know the output would have been the same but people shock me with how much they are drawn to familiar titles.
