I know, I was only going to get either Beast or Kitty, and I wanted Beast more but still get ruing Hannah!

Dammit Hannah, I wanted Kitty Pride in my team! You shall rue this day!

I'm waiting until I have all my draft picks sorted until I fully put the story in place. I have a general idea about what I want to achieve with them though.

Beast

In fairness to Scott, Jean was the one who pushed him to be with Emma from beyond the grave, so that the world wouldn't turn to shit. Wow, that looks even worse typed out.

X-factor. Don't really want the responsibility of the main X men name.

True, it's just supposition on my part. There's also no evidence that he was straight either. I guess when you're trying to prevent the end of the world and planning 5 million deaths, there's not a lot of time for dating.

I'm in.

Ozymandias was inspired by Alexander the Great. It wasn't explicit but I wouldn't be surprised if he was meant to be gay in the book as well.

Picture from the new series Not sure what's going on there but I'm looking forward to seeing that episode.

Steven T Seagle Joe Kelly on X-Men. I think this was the height of the Bob Harras-Mark Powers reign of terror. I can't judge how well their runs went because it seemed like they could never put their own stamp on the books. Issue 351 of Uncanny was pretty good though.

Always had a soft spot for this one.

Me and Stavros covered part of the Age of Apocalypse in our x-Force review. Our conclusion was that it was a world that had been drained of all its creative opportunities long beforehand. It definitely seems to suffer from diminishing returns.

I could get on board with this.

The anti-Monitor came back? Why? He died 6000 times, surely that was enough.

Now come on tom, where would Wolverine have gotten the tools necessary to cut open and skin a polar bear? Let's not be silly here.

Have to agree with you on the Anti-Monitor, especially about his utter refusal to die. I'm still impressed with Crisis just for handling so many characters and worlds, especially on Perez's part.

It's the problem when you have fuzzily defined ideas and no thought to how they'd apply in the real world. Frankly, that is a problem when you try to make superhero stories realistic, they fall apart pretty quickly. Nolan's Batman films are about as close as you can get, but if Superman started flying through Gotham, all of that would go away.

I can see what knightwing is saying, but there are some key differences, chief amongst them being that Frank Miller is unaware of his own craziness and is a much, much worse writer. I can't recommend this book for everyone as it seems like a bit of a marmite one, but I enjoyed it and, as usual with a League book, it took me ages to get through it as I was spending so much time puzzling over all the cameos. It's heavily skewed towards British stuff since it's set in London, but the more you know about them, the more you'll enjoy it. one of my favourite bits was seeing Graham Linehan getting thrown out of Gosh Comics by Bernard Black.

Yeah, I think Wolverine is somehow able to move around fairly rapidly and silently despite carrying around a 300lb metal skeleton at all times. I can't tell if I'm defending the polar bear thing or not there. This series sounds truly fucking terrible. It does sound like they came up with Avengers vs X-Men first and then filled in the story afterwards. It also sounds like the editor is probably using his blue pen quite a bit here, hence the odd characterisations from writers that should know better.

Correction: it was John mccrea who did the art on highland laddie.

I've actually read the book and this article is entirely reactionary and stupid. It also contains a huge spoiler for the latest League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, so don't click it or read the rest of my post if you don't want to be spoiled.

What does it say that I've never seen Maggie Grace look hotter than when she was drugged up and about to be sold into a life of sex-slavery. That I am going to Hell, that's what.

True, but at least they needed powertools to do it.
