Spoiler: show

Possibly did but if I remember right he was messing with one of those ghost box things in the Astonishing title so maybe that had something to do with his apparent survival. Of course a lot of the Astonishing storylines tend to ignore the rest of the X-Universe also so who knows they might just pretend it never happened.

Thought Bishop had killed him in Messiah Complex. According to wiki, he did not. I didn't read those astonishing issues with the ghost box either, or if I did, I don't remember

From the Release:

"Cable is back NOW! He has a new X-Force consisting of Colossus, Forge, Domino and Dr. Nemesis and they are all caught red-handed at the scene of a terrorist attack on a major American corporation whose CEO has expressed anti-mutant views. Now Cable and X-Force are on the run, with the Uncanny Avengers in hot pursuit."

There is a rumor

Spoiler: show

that Psylocke will get her own series. Hopefully they wont fuck it up.

Call me slow if you want, but I saw a post on Reddit over the weekend about an alt universe where Bruce died instead of his parents. Someone in the comments mentioned it was from a comic. Worth reading? I am assuming it is just a one shot type deal. If worth reading what title/issue is it under?

Batman: Knight of Vengeance

Happened during Flashpoint when all the issues went through a 3 issue mini-arc due to a change in the DC timeline. Happened to every DC series (sans Booster Gold) last summer before the reboot.

So apparently we have two X-Force titles coming up. First one up above and the continuation of Uncanny X-Force with a new team.

Spoiler: show

I'm thinking this goes along with the rumored Psylocke series as well.

Team leader Psylocke leads Puck, Spiral, Storm and several others who are unnamed. First thought is who the hell came up with that team line-up?! This team just seems really out there to me almost as much as the FF team does. Not to sure I can see this series lasting long really.

[Vagrant]

Not a big surprise here but the December DC solicits have G.I. Combat ending with issue 7. Probably being replaced by the new Justice League title in January.

And rumored to be cancelled courtesy of a tweet from the no longer DC employed Rob Liefield. Frankenstein, Grifter, Legion Lost, and Blue Beetle.

[Vagrant]

And team number 3 for the All New X-Men series has been revealed to go along with the time traveling original team and the Wolverine led team.

Spoiler: show

Present day de-phoenixed Cyclops leads a team consisting of Emma, Magneto and Magik. Cover of issue 4 is a nice shot of Cyclops optic blasting Cyclops.

Personally I was really hoping that the AvX fallout would have put an end to the Cyclops/Emma relationship but apparently not.

[Blackice]

Kind of old news Vagrant, but here's the full picture for what you're talking about.

[Vagrant]

Really? Had known about the two teams but didn't know about the third group. Guess I missed that somewhere.

[grantlogan]

Scott's team seems like villains to me now.

[Blackice]

I'm kind of hoping they will be to be honest.

[Vagrant]

Yeah I've kind of gotten that feeling also. Over the past few years he has definitely seemed to relate more towards Magneto's vision than Xavier's.

[Delirium]

Why is Rachel in a dress in the background when everyone else is in x-men costumes?

[Vagrant]

That's not Rachel. No clue who it is but Bendis has already said it's not her.

[Delirium]

That is even more disappointing then

[Delirium]

so I got a lot of #0 issues this week. They were really good, really enjoyed Nightwing and Wonder Woman. The only one's I felt a bit let down by are Birds of Prey and Sword of Sorcery.

Spoiler: show

Birds of Prey is an origin of the team, which works. However, it focuses almost solely on Dinah Lance/Black Canary. Since she has a past in the Team 7 book, this issue assumes readers know a lot. It can be a bit confusing if you are totally unfamiliar with the book.
Sword of Sorcery just felt a bit short. We dont really know anything about the character or anything, despite it being an origin.

[Kaslo]

So Spider-Men is probably one of the best arcs (outside of Children's Crusade) in awhile...

also

Spoiler: show

I'm kind of intrigued by a 616 Miles Morales
