Hee.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Because I read that and went to a Tamlinn place. (Now thinking I misspelled that. Is it Tamlin? -- You know the one, with the Fairy Queen and Janet and hanging on and the shapeshifting.)
Tam Lin. Heh, I had the same jolt from the other side when I first heard Fairport's "Tam Lin." I think the character got his name from the song. Not directly - they just pinched it.

Hmm, no comments on Astounishing? I liked it, but didn't love it. I can't wait to see what comes next. And mildly intrigued that the part of Faith will be played by Emma Frost.
Also, anyone have any bets on who Emma was talking to conspiratorially ?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Huh. There are bets? I just assumed it was Scott.

Maybe it's YET ANOTHER Magneto clone run amok. Dude has so many doppelgangers running around, I hear Dr. Doom is about to hit him with a trademark infringement lawsuit .

My only question about Astounishing is this: were the first 2 pages a flashback? I'm assuming yes, because the color is all toned down and almost black-and-white, AND because the events on those pages don't segue into the action on the following pages.
However, I'm a little confused about the implications of what happened in that flashback (if it was a flashback) and when exactly it was supposed to have taken place.
I also want to know who Emma was talking to at the end, but my X-knowledge is so limited, and nobody here was commenting on it, so I assumed it just had to be obvious if you know your X-Men. Hmm.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I have little idea who Emma was talking to, but I'm pretty sure it's not Scott, or any of the X-Men. She's threatening Kitty for heaven's sake.
I was meh on the issue in general. I didn't follow anything about the one mutant will destroy the world thing. Joss never strays far from prophesies, does he? And Fury seemed incredibly clueless.

I'm getting IC, Nightwing, LotDK and GC.
Although I think that the cover art of LotDK looks silly and why are they doing a Riddler story when they've just, kind of, done him in?
