@pixelized: I was only making the association because Amanda Sefton (his ex lover and step sister) is the sorceress supreme of Limbo. Kurt's made the trip there before, and we still don't know exactly what happened to his soul (or if we do I'm out of the loop) so I'm not crossing it out as a possibility. I know the trip was intended to rescue Illyana- it certainly wasn't to get Nightcrawler as he was alive at the time the plans were made- but it would be a nice twist.
Though I still think it more likely that the x-men will do (try) something with the tech virus before the series goes down a more magical path.
I think it's gone way down hill since the artist switch. I can scan a panel for you where Harley's ears are attached to her jowls. I first noticed the change in the issue where Harley went home to see her family- her open mouth looked like her jawbone had been dislocated. My first thought was, "Dear God, Harley! Did you let Mr. J knock you in the face with a swordfish again? You can't take any more 4 story falls!" The piece de resistance has to be the opening shot of Ivy when she is applying for a job position. It really looked like Rob Liefeld was giving pointers.
EDIT I can't make this post sound too mean. After all, I do think the story is well written and I love each character. The covers are still splendid.
I would like to see Excalibur done. The right characters were spared X3s carnage- Moira could contact the surviving team members and offer them a place to stay on Muir Island to recuperate. Kitty could respond and meet up with Nightcrawler who was conveniently in the area as he was on his way back to Germany until he had heard of the recent fiasco. There they could meet up with Meggan and Captain Britain. Et voila!
Death is never a permanent thing in the Marvel Universe, and with ret conning as popular as it is- how do you think Nightcrawler will be brought back? If you don't think he will be brought back, explain why you think his death is permanent or just have fun with coming up with a ridiculous plan. I mean, hey, it's comics, you never know.
Personally, I have two theories. One being the tech virus in Bastion's arm. The other being Collosuss' planned trip to Limbo.
@CylonDorado: Most definitely. Marston created her to be a strong role for young women and yet, often depicted her in chains due to his own kinky wants. Have you ever seen the letter from an editdor to Marston begging him to use, "at least 75% less chains." He then goes on to suggest other binding tools like rope,wire, etc. It's hilarious.
Considering most of the mainstream comic artists are men, I am not surprised. Women in comics have come a long way from lettering sweatshops however there is still some room to go. Even today, there are only three majorly syndicated female strip artists. As for tights and fights comics- typically they are drawn in a very masculine style, making it hard for women (or men with a feminine style) to break in.
What I want to see is more stand alone female super villains. Outside of the Batman universe and Mystique, I can't think of many that are seen as a major threat.
@Fire-brand: I'm not saying you don't have a firm grasp of reality. But I used science. Unless you are 33 your brain cannot be fully developed. Even if you are passed 33, as a teenager it is impossible for you to have completely understood your emotions. This is not an insult. I can't completely register my emotions either. This is applicable to everyone. I am not making a generalization- that is fact.
This is another reason why one can't use personal experience as valid argument.
And I repeat. I know what you are saying. I never said people shouldn't be themselves. Would it help if I told you I agree? I don't think people should put up facades. I think that they are generally transparent and make everyone uncomfortable. I just don't know why you keep going back to that, because when you do it makes me feel that I am not being clear. I do not want to be misquoted or misrepresented.
