Marvel Comics

I know I sound like a broken record but OMG UNCANNY XFORCE RAGHUFHFASHODHF! The story just keeps adding layer after layer of pure awesomeness. Not to mention, one of the funniest issues I've read in any comic for a long time.

One of the very, very few Marvel comics I've been reading. An excellent story.

So i finished reading through Second Coming. The Second Coming TPB is really really good. was an excellent read from start to finish. How is Hope as a character (ie generation hope series). Also...

Spoiler: show

have they explained her connection to the Phoenix force yet? I think that's what emma was going to tell scott right when the 5 lights showed up at the end of second coming

It seems like there are a lot of periodic crossover events which i like also

Marvel released a teaser for their Summer event of 2012 which I think is tied to the Phoenix Force: http://marvel.com/news/story/16860/nycc_2011_its_coming

Marvel has said the event will tie the entire Marvel universe into the X-Men, and could explain why Cable is coming back to stop the Avengers this winter.

They're bringing Torch back from the dead already? Or is that some other flame guy I'm not familiar with?

[Delirium]

think its the original Torch or it's Toro.

Original Torch is still dead at last check (unless I missed since the storyline involving his corpse with Captain Bucky), but Toro came back during one of those recent Invaders minis

[Kaslo]

btw at NYCC it was announced that Cannonball and Husk would be a part of the X-Men Legacy team.

Also, the most important storyline coming up is Nova coming back, which hopefully means Starlord is down the pipeline along with GotG making a return.

Though rumor has it Loeb is being handed control of the cosmic stuff, at which point I'm pretty inclined to not even bother reading after what he did to the Ultimate universe.

Yea No D&A and i'm not really wanting to read it :/

Nothing kills hype like Loeb

[grantlogan]

I can't even understand why any company continues to employ Loeb, he writes absolute shit.

[tyven]

i cant live in a world where 3 of the main cosmic characters are all dead.

[Krandor]

No guarantee the Nova coming back is Richard Ryder, keep in mind.

They dropped some pretty blatant hints at NYCC that it's Richard Rider, though not necessarily the same one we saw at the end of Thanos Imperative.

One fan who asked for the return of Captain Marvel earned a response from Quesada that resurrecting characters should only happen when there's a great story hook behind it, and Marvel has not found one for Mar-Vell yet. He pointed towards the impending return of Nova as a situation where they feel like they got it right.

Also worth noting is that the picture they teased it looks like Nova is not at Centurion rank (look at the design of his helmet), which is leading some people to think that it's some nonsense about plucking a younger version of Richard Rider out of the timestream.

Well you would think if Nova is able to get out of where he was trapped that Star-Lord and Thanos shouldn't be far behind. Unless Star-Lord died in there.

As for more of everyone's favorite Loeb-ness he's also the one bringing Sabretooth back in Wolverine too.
