    Is the girl in green Leah? Because Leah doesn't look like that. She's like twelve.

    [EDIT] Also, there appear to be two Lokis in that picture. I know adult Loki can do illusions, but I thought child Loki hasn't learned that trick yet.

    [EDIT2] Make that three Lokis. I get it now, though. That single huge picture is to be split up to make three covers. The comment about Leah still stands, though.

    Actually New Mutants and Journey into Mystery have had a few connections over the last few months, namely over Loki's brood of helpuppies

    It looks like there are two Leah/Hela's in that picture, too - the older looking one, and the younger one who is facing off against the Disir with Baseball Bat Boy and David Allan Coe.

    Also in the past, because of Dani's connection to Hel

    Glad to see X-Man has been reduced to a guy who just flashes his chest tat. Oh, he has TK too. :(

    I bet they have no idea what to do with him. Is it worth picking up New Mutants if I am only interested in one character?

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Actually X-Man has been pretty fantastic over in New Mutants

    so stop bein silly

    They have no idea what to do with him, really. He's had a big power decrease and hangs around on the fringes with Cypher in terms of screentime, offering the man on the street perspective in the group.

    That is the greatest tragedy, yes

    Thing is, X-Man was one of the very few cases where a superhero actually is too powerful

    Because really, when any problem comes up, he should just own it. Pretty much without even needing to get out of bed.

    maybe they should have shipped Nate off to the Annihilators. he would have fit in pretty well there.

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    I would rather him be used by good writers in a depowered direction versus him being a psychic god king on a team that hasn't been seen since their mini.

    Yeah that would have worked

    That's where I would put Phoenix though

    that team is a bit of a sausage fest, and the number of women heroes with that power level is few and far between

    Is anyone following any of the X-Men at the Academy on twitter?

    Kid Gladiator's are great. "I just punched to death 200 Brood creatures, all within Ms. Pryde's mammory glands!" Get in there son.

    Evan's on the other hand, they just make me want to give him a big hug and tell him everything will be okay.

    naturally, however, Rockslide makes the best tweets.

    I really should be but I don't use twitter sooo

    but really, they are ultra-cool

    also glad Marvel is bringing back letters pages in their lighter titles, it's nice.

    I don't have twitter either!

    I just read them, since there aren't that many and you don't need an account to read

    It's a cool little way to add some more character to the whole Marvel Universe, I like it a lot.

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    man, every boy likes Idie, don't they? Broo seemed attracted to her in the first couple issues, Quentin hit on her in #5, and on Twitter they're hinting that Genesis has a crush on her too.

    it's because she negs herself

    their work is already done for them

    It hints he has a crush on someone

    And yeah the eyes thing does mean possibly Idie

    But hey at the same time could be several other people

    Warbird, even

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    the main thing to me that indicates it is that he tweeted the eyes thing almost immediately after she tweeted the thing about liking someone who she didn't think liked her back

    and then the thing where she tweeted at him asking if he was okay

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Well

    That would be pretty cute

    even if they might actually end up being really bad for each other

    It would be cool though if Evan, who I think seems like a Christian, maybe helped Idie around to a form of faith with less self-hatred

    Religion can get a hard time in comics I think and it would be cool for this to go differently

    BUT we'll see! I have to say Evan is one of my favourite new characters so I watch his progress eagerly.

  • HenslerHensler Registered User regular
    I don't normally care for comic book romances (at least til Kitty and Logan get married), but Idie and Genesis would be a far awesomer couple than Idie and Evan.

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Genesis is Evan

    CYpGAPn.png
  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    In Deathlok's flashforward in #4 though, Idie and Quentin were together.

    Will a love triangle turn Evan evil??

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    I've said this before

    but if Evan does go evil

    then I feel that will be very disappointing

    New Mutants is awesome. That is all. The stories are okay, but the character interactions are great. And I love me some Nate Grey. The last issue with Mephisto was wonderful.

    It's far closer to WaX than the rest of the X-line. Seriously, there's a undercurrent of greatness in the X-line, with New Mutants, Uncanny X-Force, and X-Factor, that culminates in the joy that is WaX.

    The X-line is doing really well right now, I think

    Sure, Gen Hope is getting cancelled, but I have really enjoyed it so far. UXF #18 was one of the best comics I have read in recent years, and the whole story leading up to that was great, with not really much of a drop-off in quality as the next arc has begun. WatXM is fantastic, it does one half of what I want with an X-book really well, while UXM does the other.

    Not reading the other books, but not because they are bad or anything. I can't actually think of a bad book that Marvel are putting out right now to be honest!

  • HenslerHensler Registered User regular
    Was Generation Hope cancelled for low sales or because of whatever is coming in AvX?

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Low sales I think

    which is kind of weird because you would think that AvX would bump or sales

    Which to me suggests that whatever is happening to Hope might have been part of that as well

    To be fair they are putting out eight X-books. That is a lot. Though Gen Hope did kind of draw me into the whole thing

    I'm kind of sad that @Balefuego is not around any more, since I got a lot of the new books on his recommendation, and now he is missing me get into the X-Men like he always wanted!

    I'm also kind of sad that he's not around because he was pretty cool as well, o' course
