    yup, but the new creative team actually looks pretty decent. not as good as bru/fraction/aja, but still not too bad.

    So, what the hell is up with newuniversal? Are they going to finish the series they started? Or are they just going to pretend it never existed, and start up this new "newuniversal: shockfront" series? Man, I mean I love Ellis and all, but try to focus a little bit, guy.

    Oh god Mask, I forgot you weren't here for the announcement
    Issue 16 is the current team's last issue. Fraction is writing the whole thing by himself, and throwing out some huge twist that the new team is going to be running with.
    EDIT: Ten bucks says there's something about Iron Fists dying at the age of 33 in that arc.

    Delduwath, Shockfront is the follow up to the first Newuniversal series.

    The change up with Iron Fist kinda threw me for a loop. I mean, the next guys had better be good, because Bru/Fraction/Aja are a hard act to follow.

    Right, I mean I figured as much, but did they actually conclude the first newuniversal?

    Alright, so I just looked at Wikipedia, and it says the Shockfront is basically Season 2 of newuniversal. And now that I think about it, I suppose the first series did sort of end (even though it wasn't what I would call a "conclusion"). It's been a while since I read it, I should go and re-read.

    I guess I just assumed that - since "season 1" ended on what I feel is a cliffhanger - more issues were coming that would at least bring about a climax. And then there were no issues, and no word on when there'd be more. And then Ellis started writing like 50 new series for Avatar. And then this thing was announced, with a subtitle (which made me think it was a spin-off). But from what I can tell, it's supposed to be just a straight-up continuation. So uh, I guess everybody wins? Hurray?

    Also, Wiggin IF's can't die at 33, look at Orson Randall.

    Is there some new law that requires every new X cover to include all the dead X-men? Is it such a joke now they include it for giggles or are they just trying to lull us into a false sense of "they aren't coming back" so they can in fact bring them back (the dead that is)?

    Either way Fraction on an Xbook can promise only one thing. A shortage of pants.

    I think it is typical for Iron Fists to die by their 30s. Orson did run away from the legacy and pretty much everything except whores and opium after WWI for an unspecified amount of time before adventuring with the Confederates of the Curious.

    It's only been the milestone issues, X-Men hitting #200 and Uncanny hitting #500 are big deals and traditionally big milestone issues have covers like that.

    Have you seen the ASM #500 cover? It probably has every Spidey character ever on it.

    Pretty sure that the birthday issue coming up is Danny's 33rd
    And there's supposed to be some big reveal
    And I could've sworn I read something about Iron Fists getting fucked at 33, and Orson is the one exception

    Not saying that I'm right, I'm just saying it so that I could possibly say "I told you so"

    That pretty much sums up everything I think I know about Ms. Marvel while also being a rockin' cover.

    It's kind of weird to me, now that I think about it - as far as Badass American Supersoldiers go,

    Captain America: Fuck yeah!

    Ms. Marvel: Fuck no!

    Probably something inherently sexist about my thought process there.

    New Cap fought the U.S. for longer than Carol has served it in the military, NASA, Avengers, etc.

    I don't know why it took so long, but it just occurs to me that the Ms. Marvel solicits have confirmed that the Ms. Marvel in the Savage Land isn't Carol.

    Anyway, Jesus Christ... Why do I even bother trying to like her when they can't even do a cover of her as G.I. Jane without her showing her tits?

    Too bad that version of the Power Pack isn't in-continuity. The Marvel Universe proper only has Julie Power, and apart from suddenly being gay there isn't much to that character right now.

    I like her just fine. Although I did miss a big chunk of the series in the middle. I've got 1-8 and then 22-25 I'm assuming all that stuff in-between is trade available. So it looks like most of the X-Men are sorta getting new costumes. Colossus' suit is all new and everybody else at least is getting different belts and red X logos.
