Kill Illyana eh? hmmph!

Great episode except for what's her name's comment. As to Cable and X-Force, I was pissed that the artist wasn't the same as in the NOW preview. That woulda made this book palatable. As it is this seems like 90's rehash. Might be good if this guy, Hopeless is it? can write crazy geniuses.

The Bendis book has been great so far, I think there might be some HUGE ramifications from this run.

I know it's not in the list but I've been reading X-treme and I can't help but get two feelings. One, Is there a Dazzler movie in the works? Why else would they give this character a book? And Two, was Exiles so popular that they needed to redo it with Dazzler and Wolverine?

I think the interview that Humphries gave about the next Uncanny X-Force makes the possibility of the ending being all in Psylocke's head and there's only the lady Fantomex unlikely, since it sounds like all three of the Fantomexes will play a role to some extent. I just thought it was weird that Betty mentions that in the first place, seemingly out of nowhere.

Also, what the split seems to be is that:

Lady Fantomex: the hero
"Regular" Fantomex: the thief
Black Fantomex: the soulless sentinel

And they ALL love Psylocke.

Speaking of which, I never got why people thought there was too much Psylocke, or why it really mattered as long as she was written well. But then I didn't read Adjectiveless until Brian Wood picked it up and dropped it like a hot potato as soon as he left.

With Cable & X-Force, while I do kinda feel like there's a little too much decompression, I do think the characters make up for it.

"Hate" and "Jetpack" should NEVER be in the same sentence, Antony. EVER.

Yes, Aquaman is fucking AWESOME right now.

Both Wolverine books moving forward do sound fun, even if I haven't seen a lot of Cho as a regular comic book writer to be super sold on that yet (his Liberty Meadows strip is amazing though).

I can definitely see what you mean about classic Beast there being hot--and you know what they say about guys with big feet...:O

Good episode, guys.
