It's so adorable when people wish death upon a creator.

The Murder arc hasn't been one of my favorites (felt an issue too long) but it has some great implications for the future. There is now a great deal of distrust among the staff and students which can only lead to potential tension. White Queen has displaced herself multiple times (as stated above) and if you are going to falt Morrison on it then you need to make sure you take shots at Claremont, Lobdell, & Lee/Portacio. What's interesting to me about Emma being reassembled is the fact that she is a physically broken character. The flashback to her origin reveals how she went through plastic surgery to make herself beautiful, and she is certainly a character who has prided herself on her appearance. Now it looks like she will be stuck in this shattered diamond form. I doubt her "human" body could withstand such damage.

I keep wondering how things would've been if they had the Internet back in the late 70s. "This Russian guy sucks, bring back Hank! Wolverine, what a joke!"

what gave you the impression she will be stuck in the diamond form?

Ya, when Phoenix brought her back, she wasn't shattered, but whole. As for morrison, I think he's been doing a great job. The only other X-book that I even touch is Exiles, the rest are pretty bad. Don't feel sad about Peter, he died doing what only the most heroic of people would do. His death saved an entire race, they better bring him back, or what was the point of his sacrifice?

But i'm sure that's what everyone said when the phoenix comitted "suicide" about twenty plus years ago.

cracker_nate,

i'm a big fan of sifl and olly too.

wanna know a secret?






morrison is the best thing to happen to the x-men in at least five years. everything he does is fresh (and whoever said it was rehashed i'd like to aks what exactly is rehashed). everyhting is on a more personal level. you can see how the x-men affect eachother. and best of all, it's all self contained and not some huge crossover (one in the summer and one in the winter) where you have to buy 18 books to read a lackluster stroy.

so morrison is worse than what?

Onslaught? please.
the death of cyclops? he came back (dammit).
the twelve story line? (whatever)
the x-men skrulls? in space?
the substitute x-mena take on genesha?
uncanny x-men? it's like reading cardboard.
x-treme x-men? what the hell is that? how can claremont have 2000 words of script and not have a new idea anywhere in there.
am i getting close?

x-men has been so unreadable for years. morrison has made it cool again. and like him or not, people actually talk about the stories.
