Odds rob and Bryan actually make it to heroescon? At least 50-1. 50 to 1 sounds safe. Maybe someone should throw in a pick up softball or flag football game to sweeten the pot. I don't know of any softball games, but I'll throw down this one.... I'll be at Heroescon, and if Brian and/or Rob come, I...

So is anyone else reading all the tie-ins to this? Does Marvel think that people only read Avengers or they read X-Men, and no one reads both? I feel so insulted by the fact that the tie-ins directly contradict each other! There's a good New Avengers issue where it shows the Avengers breaking out of...

In honor of father's day:

Worst X-Father: Wolverine, Xavier, Magneto, Madrox, Cable, or Colossus?

I've never understood the "Phoenix only leads to death and destruction" argument personally. When it first appeared on Earth, it possessed Jean, and healed the M'Krann Crystal, which saved all of reality. Point in the Phoenix column. Sure, she turned Dark Phoenix and killed the broccolli p...

Haven't read it yet, but I saw the picture......I second the "What?" but I'm looking forward to some interesting Emma cosplay when I go to Dragon*Con this year......

I've been up to about 110 on an interstate in Georgia; I-16 is a super straight road, and boring. A friend of mine was following me driving back to college one weekend, I was in a Nissan Sentra, he was in an old Ford Bronco II. (anyone remember those?) I know my speedometer went up to 110; his only ...

Wow. 132. I thought I would do better, until I saw every squad from the Adademy X days listed. I knew I was done for at that point. Some of the easy ones I blanked on were both Thunderbirds, X-Man, Stacy X. Still, a very entertaining use of 20 minutes.

In Wolverine: Origins (the mini-series, not the awful ongoing), Wolverine's father is Sabretooth's father, while his mother is a fetching redhead. Why said fetching redhead cheated on her wealthy husband with the gardener is not addressed. Wow. So Wolverine's mom is a fetching redhead? That makes t...

Definitely sounds like Wolverine: Origins. Yeah, Wolverine: Origins with the badass Magneto from X-Men First Class. Trying to capitalize on that cool moment when Magneto was hunting down Nazis. This sounds a lot like the recent Avengers: 1959 too....they had Sabretooth in that too. And I skipped it...

One thing I noticed when they were talking about the terrible villains in Uncanny - I think the X-Men just have too good of a rehabilitation record. You think about Spider-Man, you have Green Goblin, Doc Ock, etc....but X-Men, who do you have? Magneto, Hellfire Club, Juggernaut, Sentinels, Apocalyps...

Ok Rios, I live in Charlotte - what strip club are you talking about? Is it the one that's within walking distance to the convention center? I could see that getting super nerdy at convention time - bet the girls hate that one! I've never been....

Right now, other than X stuff, I'm pretty heavy in Marvel stuff. All the Avengers books, Avengers Academy is a really good one. Spider-man has been great under Dan Slott recently; I started getting that a few months ago after being a very occasional Spider-man person. Scarlet Spider is good too. DC ...

If you actually look at what was said, the only mention of New Mutants is by the questioner, not the Fox exec. He was just asked "are you thinking about something else with the X-Men, like New Mutants?" and said yes. So it could be anything X-related really......

I feel like the new coloring is hit or miss for me. I love the recolored Thor Omnibus (what I've seen, since I'm not shelling out the cash for that) - but I got the recolored X-Men #1, and I prefer the original. They tried to go too fancy, and they brought it down. The scenes with Cyclops in the &qu...

My favorite Rob quote was: "So Balder was two fingers deep in this sorceress chick......"

Classic!

just put me under degenerate. ^That's hot. :P :D Come on - you're in college - that's the best time for lots of "almost" threesomes. Those parties where you go into a room with two chicks, you're all just drunk enough, then your buddy busts in with the "what's going on in here?"...

So I think with all the threesome talk we need to have a poll or something....who has had one, who has an almost, who has been asked.....I think it would really shed some light on the degenerates that make up this forum.

Yes, very excited. They've done such a great job moving these novels to the screen, I SO hope they get to do Storm of Swords. That will really get people talking. Storm of Swords is INSANE. I hear that it's going to be two seasons. The cliffhanger is going to be a bitch. The ending had my jaw dropp...
