Iambaytor Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Everybody's beating the Red Hulk these days, it's the new thing since he's not being written by a mentally challenged 6-year-old Jeph Loeb anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 People would be wise to watch what they say about Bobby Drake. If he were to go rogue, Plutonian style,it would take Celestials harnassing the power of a thousand suns to stop his rampage. Â Prais be to the almighty Iceman.

Panch Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It's only natural that all the original X-Men are made into the elite of the elite. I like them getting their due Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Bob Drake is getting a thread once I get the gumption to move over all the stuff from the Schism thread. And Panch makes a good point, they DO deserve to be badasses, and Iceman is the only one who hasn't gotten his time. He's the underdog, and I like underdogs.

The NZA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It pleases me that you dig it. While you're on a kick, you should snag the Brian Wood Wolverine/Quire mini, if you haven't already. It fits in there somewhere.  oh shit, came in the same torrent! ill do just that. kinda felt bad since i stopped halfway through shcism but i figure reading the wiki for that and the Fear one felt okay by me.  i also agree with you on Quire, i think Aaron's got a long hand here like Grant was trying to do with some of his creations. i totally see that panel you posted on page 1 with the group as adults being the right direction, too.   iceman can make more snowmen now. you know who else could do that? calvin  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Out of that scenario, I can see Quire and Broo on the main team. Not Gladiator. Idie is going to need more development for me, maybe she can be in one of the spin off books. I want Genesis to be a good guy so bad. I hope this isn't a drawn out tale of his corruption as he grows into the inevitable, as much as I generally like that sort of thing. In this particular case, I've seen Apocalypse in every villain role and I think it would be just too cool to have him on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 oh yeah, agreed on almost all fronts - Idie needs some charater building, and kid apocalypse is intriguing as a nurture > nature thing, i hope he wins out but its still kinda interesting if he doesnt, fo rme. i can also see kid gladiator growing into his own, myself. i think the only thing that saddens me is that future-them has a less adorable broo.

Thelogan Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Oh, I'm sure Gladiator will grow out of his dickishness, it just seems like too many aliens on the team. I just don't see him in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's da mutha fukin iceman! He just needs better writers... I haven't seen good shit for this guy is ce he refused to turn back to his normal form cuz he was living with a hole in his chest...

Panch Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 See, I was getting annoyed with Quire that whole mini. He just didn't seem himself in it. Not how Aaron writes him, at least. Whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If you want to see a change of pace for Apocalypse read Mutant-X, it was an alternate history series from the 90s where 616 Havok goes to another universe where a lot of things went differently (Beast made himself more freakish and stupider, Bobby can't revert to human form anymore, Madelene Pryor decided to hang around, Spider-Man still has six arms, that kinda stuff) the only thing that sucks about it is that it's really super rushed at the last couple issues, I think they got cancelled and were just in a hurry to tie things up. Still a great book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 What does Marvel NOW mean for Wolverine & the X-Men? An interview with Jason Aaron.   1) Given the status quo changes of both Wolverine and Thor in the aftermath of "Avengers vs. X-Men," will any of the Avengers be stopping by the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning as guest teachers -- possibly in a way to make amends for the Avengers' actions in the midst of AvX when they "attacked" the school? Yes, I would love to have more guest-speakers show up at the school. And since I'm now writing "Thor," I definitely want to find a place for the God of Thunder to make an appearance. Just in general, I like trying to integrate the Jean Grey School into the fabric of the Marvel U as much as I can, like having Matt Murdock drop by to offer legal advice. You'll see a lot more touches like that in the coming months. There's a scene in issue #15 that was particularly fun to write involving Broo and Iron Man. And in issue #19, when the hunt for a new teacher kicks into high gear, you'll see lots of different faces making an appearance. 2) Will any of the X-Men from the "blue side" be joining the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning in the aftermath of AvX? Yes, I'd say chances of that happening are high. With alliances shifting, Time_to_Zap wonders how Wolvie will respond: 1) How personally is Logan taking the fact that taking several of his staff members fought on the "X" side of things? I know Iceman expressed a desire that he could return after the war, but is that something Logan would be okay with? Or would he hold a grudge? That very question is answered in issue #15, and it speaks to Logan's entire philosophy as a newfound mutant leader. 2) Has the school helped Idie with her attitude? Is she still self-loathing? There's certainly something going on with Idie's attitude. Her story takes an unexpected new turn in issue #18, which is our final AvX tie-in. That issue sets the stage for a lot to come in year two of the series, including the beginning of a very important and dramatic arc for Idie. 3) Will we get to see more of Broo's (and possibly Quentin's) romantic interest in Idie? Yes, most definitely. Check out the previously-mentioned issue #18. 4) What's the deal with Husk's powers being all messed up lately? There's obviously something going on there as well. Once again, see issue #18 (boy, sounds like there's a lot going on in that issue). And issue #18 is only the beginning for Husk. As with Idie, there are big plans for her in year two. 5) After the events of Brian Wood's "Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega," is Quentin "okay" with being at the school? Or does he still want to destroy it and get revenge on Logan? If Quentin is "okay" with the school, he's certainly never going to admit it. But I would expect this question to be a big part of his continued development, beginning with his encounter with Professor X in issue #15. Laurence also had a Quentin question: Judging by how much you've used the character, it's clear that you're a big fan of Quentin Quire. Given that he became the rebellious young punk he is after discovering he was adopted, do you plan to ever reveal who his real parents are? No, sorry, no plans in that regard just yet. But you never know. I do indeed love Quentin Quire though, and you can expect to continue see him front and center in "Wolverine and the X-Men." And Renaldo had yet another query about Quentin. Gee, guess who's going to be picked "Most Popular" for this school's yearbook? 1) Will Quentin Quire get involved soon, as Deathlok's visions in the past saw him wielding the Phoenix? I assume you mean "involved in the events of AvX?" If so, the answer is no. I made the decision early-on to keep most of the students out of AvX. We've obviously already seen Kid Gladiator sneak into the battle against the Avengers, but I just felt that having too many of the kids out in the world trading punches as part of AvX really kind of flew in the face of the reason Logan opened the school in the first place. So, no, you won't see any more kids leaving the campus to fight Avengers. But you can expect the events of AvX to find their way to the school, beginning with the upcoming issue #15 -- an issue that has particularly important ramifications for Kid Gladiator. 2) Judging from the way Colossus lost his temper on Kitty's date, how do you view the Phoenix 5? Do you write them as gods? They're not gods, no. They're the same characters we've always known, but now possessed with this other entity that has the mind and powers of a god. A not-always-particularly-benevolent god. Taimur Dar was wondering about another possible date in the offing… 1) I'm sure readers are waiting for a future Iceman/Kitty Pryde date, but personally, I'm more interested in knowing if Toad will ever get the courage to ask Husk out on a formal date in the near future? See issue #15. Boy, sounds like there's a lot going on in that issue too. 2) I loved the dynamic between Kid Gladiator and his father in the most recent issues of "Wolverine & the X-Men." Ever since the character was introduced, however, I've been wondering if we'll ever see and/or learn about Kid Gladiator's mother? Yes, we certainly will. At some point in year two of "Wolverine and the X-Men," we'll actually be learning quite a bit about Kid Gladiator's background and upbringing among the Shi'ar. Our final set of questions comes from Kaiolino, who was curious about some of the Marvel NOW! specifics: 1) It was apparent that you spoke a lot with writer Rick Remender from the way things were referenced between your two books ("Wolverine & the X-Men" and "Uncanny X-Force"). Will this tight continuity continue with Brian Bendis as he writes "All-New X-Men?" I expect so, yes. I've read Brian's first few issues of "All-New X-Men" (which are awesome, by the way), and we've talked about our future plans at the various Marvel retreats. You will definitely see that these books are happening in the same new X-Men universe. You'll see the Jean Grey School play a role in his book, and you'll see the events of his reflected in mine. Though you'll also be getting books that have very distinct flavors and mandates, which I think only makes for a stronger roster of X-titles. 2) Bendis has said Kitty Pryde will be in his cast. Will she still be in "Wolverine & the X-Men?" Yes. And more overworked than ever. 3) Will Nick Bradshaw, my new favorite artist, continue to regularly pencil the book in the upcoming year? Yes indeed. Nick's already a few issues into the post-AvX issues, and if you thought his stuff so far was good, wait'll you see these new pages. Nick just continues to amaze me. The guy packs so much into these pages, it's unbelievable. With issue #19, our hunt-for-a-new-teacher story, you get to see Nick draw a whole cavalcade of familiar faces from around the Marvel U. And then in issue #21, which kicks off our "Frankenstein's Murder Circus" arc, you get to see Nick tackle some all-new characters, as well as utterly madcap versions of our regular cast. Just wait until you see Wolverine as -- no, sorry, you'll just have to see it for yourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Y'know what, Broo is talking an awfully lot about how much he loves Nova lately. I take back my previous prediction. Broo probably isn't going to be in the X-Men. He's going to be in The Guardians of the Galaxy. And he'd fit in pretty perfectly. You know Marvel is going to start ramping up that title once the movie gets closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
