Wait, wasn't Wolverine panting after her once he got tired of waiting around for Jean to pop up out of her grave like a jack-in-the-box? What happened between them?

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

Wolverine and her still have the same sort of "Yeah, I think you're hot too, but let's just hang." relationship. I seem to recall her going on a date with Nightcrawler relatively recently, actually. But then I think he got caught up in Marvel Girl, and then they trashed the whole thing.

But her and Wolvie have been fairly constant in mutual regard.

I know all the dates turning out to be possession victims and clones and alien shapeshifters has to get tiresome after a while, but these mutants really need to get out and meet new people.

So... Infite Crisis....

WTF?!

Take a group of DC writers.

Put them in a room.

Let them plot until the echo chamber effect happens and they start to giggle like madmen, or like geeks who've spent WAY too long trying to top the craziest idea the last guy had.

Lather.

Rinse.

Repeat.

That's my theory, at least.

Give them a bit of weed, the good stuff because DC is good like that, and your theory makes perfect sense.

I have to say, I'm interested. Not just curious, like I was about who killed Mrs. Dibny -- that was in a whodunnit sense. Right now i'm interested in more of the plotline, and what the hell is going to happen to Batman.

I am mildly irritated by some of the synchronisation issues (where is Nightwing these days? Just in his comic?) but since those pale in the face of half the Marvel titles simply ignoring House of M, I shrug past them.

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "

I really hate the House of M ignorers. It had some really brilliant twists, in my opinion. The entire Spiderman House of M had this creepy feel during all the issues. And of course, District X's complete gloss over the Mutopia mini-series makes me cringe.

Are baseline Marvel titles even in the same continuity with each other anymore? There's a completely different contradictory version of the Hulk in just about every title I skimmed yesterday.

616 is supposed to be consistent--ish. I mean, the mutants have vanished all over 616. Individual characters, like Wolverine being everywhere always--NSM.
