I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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.

they seem to rewrite it more than DC does.

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.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Umm, the current arc has been over for almost 4 months. New arc is starting up under Marvel's new Icon imprint in two months or so.

NovaChild, I only started reading Marvel comics last year, and recommend that you stay the hell away from Uncanny X-Men or anything else written by Chuck Austen, who strikes me as a no-talent assclown. I bought one of his books and sold it on eBay as soon as possible thereafter.

Unlike ita, I really liked Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men (conveniently collected in tpbs at this point, starting with E for Extinction) and have dug the hell out of the Ultimate X-Men (which I accept as having nothing to do with any other X-Men titles) and X-Statix (which is it's own clever can of worms and might as well be separate). I haven't read any other regular Marvel titles, though, and I'm not immersed in the backstory enough to care if a writer contradicts canon from 30 years ago.

D'oh! See post #3206 for my up-to-date knowledge of Powers.
