The chick at the end of UXM is Spiral -- in the real X-world she's a six armed hench-creature of Mojo -- he magicked up an earth chick and made her his.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah, thanks, ita. I think I remember her from one of the Marvel vs. Capcom arcade games.

Damn, I should have skimmed in the store -- I didn't see an answer to how Wonder Woman is getting around during her blindness. Flying with a cane? How's the bullet deflecting going?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
So, wait. Wonder Woman is going to be blind, like, FOREVER? Weird.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Steph, well no. Just probably until the NEXT MAJOR EVENT in the DC universe.
Or until the title changes writers. Many writers ignore what previous writers did...

You'd think Prometheus could lend a hand, what with the perpetually regenerating liver and all.
Hmmm. Exactly how did Diana stop being a goddess, anyway?

Batgirl kicked all kinds of ass this week.
Batman was fun, though if they're going where I think they're going, I suspect exploding heads in our future.
Nightwing Year One: to answer P-C's question DEADMAN!!! SQUEE!!!! DEADMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to ask one of my own: in the current continuity timeline, would Boston Brand (Deadman) have been alive at this point, or is he already dead?

PC, why do you think the cave at the end of Batgirl is reset-like? Doesn't every superhero need a lair? It's like a graduation present.
Just finished the Nightwing -- that was kinda cool. Certainly better than the one before.
Y Last Man was good, but way too quick.
New X-Men was nice and consistent.
X-23. I pegged why I was liking it -- she's very Batgirl, but now I know why I don't love it, because she's Batgirl cum bad girl. That's not what I'm looking for. I'll keep reading, though.

ita, it's not really that I think of it as a reset, but it feels too easy. Like, shazam! Here's a lair so we can start Batgirl off. I know she needs it, and it's way cool, and I can't wait to see what happens now.
But Plei, I have no idea who that is, is the thing. Need history!
Just finished the Nightwing -- that was kinda cool. Certainly better than the one before.
Yeah, that was my thought too.

P-C, I can have a better answer when I know the answer to my queestion, because while I know who the character is, I don't know if the character is that character right now.
