Quesada talks about the upshot of House of M.
Hrrm. I just can't shake my skepticism. The idea of
the "deep dark secret" that Professor X has been hiding for years
makes me get a bit @@. Also -- there will be retconning of
something:
in preparing for he story, he went back and found several moments that were never really explained when they occurred, and as a result, a "whole second story" can be laid alongside what was known to have happened.
Also:
there is now a mandate that no new mutants can be created wholesale - only five or six new mutant-based characters that were already in the pipeline will be seen. And that the ones going away won’t be coming back...
I wonder if that will affect anyone I actually
like...
Covers for Angel #4:
Illyria and Spike
Also a synopsis of the upcoming Spike vs. Dracula mini:
Presenting the first chapter of a five-part Spike saga spanning centuries! A hundred and twenty years ago, a tribe of gypsies inflicted a terrible curse upon the vampire known as Angelus... a curse that brought a terrible vengeance upon the tribe in the form of Angelus's family: Darla, Drusilla, and most notably, William the Bloody, a.k.a. "Spike." But the gypsy clan has a dark and powerful supporter: Count Dracula. Outraged over the slaughter of the gypsies, Dracula seeks revenge upon the three vampires... and thus begins a rivalry between Spike and Dracula that will cover decades. A rivalry steeped in blood... honor... and eleven quid. Corroney will also provide covers for all five issues, as will variant cover artists Zach Howard, Sean Murphy, and Eric Wight.

I think I like the second one the best.
Okay,
'a curse that brought a terrible vengeance upon the tribe in the form of Angelus's family: Darla, Drusilla, and most notably, William the Bloody, a.k.a. "Spike."'
is more than a little revisionist. I know it's his comic, and all, but please.
I know. It's kind of a
major change to make in the story.
I like the little sepia picture of Jilli on the first cover.

Bwah! Okay, that's funny.
Aaaand I just realized I need (NEED, I tell you!) someone much more skilled with Photoshop than I to crop the little sepia image and turn it into an LJ icon for me. Because that would be even funnier.
Jill - I cropped if for you -- but I can't do anything fancy with it.
(And I sent it to your profile address.)
EEeeeee! I just got it, and thank you so much!
