(Sorry, I'm a Marvel girl, with the rare Batman & Vertigo exception.)
Yeah, I'm mostly Marvel as well, with Vertigo and Image exceptions. Except now, Nightwing.
Also, she and Kitty have a contentious history.
Ah, okay, see, that helps. Thanks.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I haven't picked up the Astonishing X-Men yet, so I'm skipping through posts with my hands over my eyes, but I just wanted to say:
Ah hell. This is the girly soap-opera version of "Dude, if Batman and Superman fought, who would win?" isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Also, Leonard Pierce's take on Powers (as will be seen whenever we finish the next High Hat) is that Bendis is trying to pick up the next Great Leap Forward in comics that Alan Moore started in the 1980s, but has a tendency to get sidetracked into subpar storylines. He has great hopes for Powers Mark II, though.

Hey. New board.
the Rogue in the movie is a lot closer to Kitty than the comic Rogue.
Good! Even more reason for me to join Joss with the Kitty obsession in Astonishing. Because I loved movie Rogue, so I'm sure to love comic Kitty!
I tried to read X-Men, I really did. I have 4 Ultimate trades (very good!) and an (unfortunate) Uncanny trade on my shelf right now. It's just... so much history, and they seem to rewrite it more than DC does. It's all very confusing.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well, the Ultimate books are actually a different universe, so there won't be much in common other than the powers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. The Legacy virus lasted a long time. I took my break somewhere inside those seven years.

Oh. See what I mean? So confusing.

Less so, potentially. Because the history is only 40 issues, not 400. Though it's probably a better read if you know some stuff about the "real" X-Men, it's not required.

Powers Mark II? I'm only on collection #4, Hayden, so 'splain.

Apparently, upon conclusion of the current arc, Bendis & what's-his-name the artist are going to take a break before starting a new volume from a different place. I've only read collection #1, so I don't know enough to comment further.
