X-Men General Thread
 This thread is a place to discuss everything X-Men! Comics, Movies, Cartoon... everything!  Some of you may have heard already that X-Men comics are going through a big change. The books are getting different writers, artists, and missions, and teams are being split up with different members going over to other books. The X-Treme X-Men book got cancelled, and some of the X-treme team are getting their own titles, or are being put into different ones. Here are the previews for the books coming out in May --- and it seems the rumours were true: Joss Whedon IS writing an X-Book! ^_^ (the listings are from www.popcultureshock.com) ASTONISHING X-MEN #1 Written by JOSS WHEDON Pencils & Cover by JOHN CASSADAY "GIFTED" pt. 1 (of 6) Dream-team creators JOSS WHEDON (creator of TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and JOHN CASSADAY (Planetary, CAPTAIN AMERICA) bring you the explosive #1 issue of the all-new flagship X-Men series!

Codenames, school-issued uniforms and mandatory training sessions in the Danger Room are just a few of the changes being implemented around the Institute - but when the entire student body is forced to divide itself up into small squads and "choose sides," Xavier's will never be the same again! 32 PGS./MARVEL PSR …$2.99 UPC: 5960605544-00111 EXCALIBUR #1 & #2 Written by Chris Claremont Penciled by Igor Kordey Covers by ANDY PARK "FORGING THE SWORD" pts. 1 & 2 The island of Genosha was once a thriving nation of mutants, built from the ground up by Magneto, the mutant Master of Magnetism.

Whoop!
Let's hear it for the X in da house. As a former collector and ever-lovin person of X, I don't know honestly how to feel about Joss taking over. I thought Claremont would have been a good thing....but he's worried me. So how's everyone doing? __________________

Hey Jerry! Nice to see u stopin by! And really nice to see u're an old x-fan!
I'm having a hard time organizing everything for the closure of the X-Board! I'm trying to keep alive some x-talking, splitin the threads into different boards! We're all excited with the new creative teams and mutant teams! Joss will work with the Astonishing, the book they're already calling as a pop x-men book! I used to love Joss... till he killed Tara (on Buffy)!  Anyway... where did u stop with the X-Men, Jerry? bb, Samwise __________________

Hi.
 I've been basically a sporadic fan of the whole X-Men franchise.. getting my hands on other people's comics and such. Recently i've gotten a hold of the entire X-Treme X-Men series so my fandom status has gone up to a whole new level. And.... i really like Sage! I may have chose a bad time for my new level of fanaticism though.. its seems like a chaotic time. I'm sorry to see the X board shut down. I had no idea Joss was writing for X-Men. I'm a fan but i hope his work reflects the early seasons of Buffy. __________________

I was hardcore for a while.
back when it was only Uncanny i had 123 - 390 continuous. I've been sporadic since then. Does rogue have her powers back? I don't like emma. I've never liked emma. I've been a big fan of making an poster child for catatonic brain dead people. Then again, they usually end up changing all the people I like for the worse. I was a major ArchAngel fan, when he had the metal wings. Of course, I'm a decent fan of the movies. __________________

I'm looking forward to Astonishing, X-Men, and pretty much every other book. I'll pick up every book in the reloaded line and decide which ones are the best. Oh, and no Rogue still has no powers. __________________

I'm grudgingly here... Darn board closure. Although I posted something funny on the Xboard. I thought it was funny. I might look nutty to everyone else.
Okay I didn't get in 444 the weird glowy thing on Rachel's head. I knew it was the Phoenix but does it glow when she's powerful or... and is it on her skin or what? I never read the Rachel thing. I never understood it not having seen it from the beginning. __________________
