Manolis: no smackin till the
end of the chat
JenSugah: *pouts*
PhoenixFire081: *double
pouts*
Junkeeb: damn!
JenSugah: *smacks
Lauren* Just 'cause I can, and you can't do a thing about it Manolis!!!
Manolis: what did you think of
the art this issue girls?
PhoenixFire081: junkeeb,
go first
JenSugah: Neal
was drawn fine......
Junkeeb: i
thought the issue looked great
Manolis: salvador's pencils
keep improving, the characters look uber cool
Junkeeb: very
tight and no fog problems, nice!
PhoenixFire081: it
looked as if they were literally inked this time
JenSugah: Yes they did
Manolis: yes, he has changed his
style to fit the new technique!
Junkeeb: salva
could draw a better rogue though
PhoenixFire081: yes, a
much better Rogue
JenSugah: Rogue
looked cute enough:-P
Manolis: i think his rogue
looks like bachalo's rogue
Junkeeb: she
looked plain and manish
Junkeeb: she
needs to flirty up!
JenSugah: She
looked like a sassy girl
PhoenixFire081: Her
expressions are wonderful, no doubt. But her overall appearance is harsh and
unbecoming
JenSugah: Party!!!
Manolis: so
Manolis: there was one gripe about
the art
PhoenixFire081: a
major one
Manolis: the coloring was all
wrong in two pages
Manolis: pages six and seven
PhoenixFire081: *opens
book*
Manolis: i was discussing it with
junkeeb before
Manolis: okay page 6: storm goes in,
she is white as milk
Junkeeb: i
didn't see it, he drew storm in front of the sun so she was supposed to be
overexposed
JenSugah: I
thought that was on a later page..*shrug* oh well:p
Manolis: she clearly has caucasian
tones...
Junkeeb: she
dosn't look white, but colored as if staring into the sun
PhoenixFire081: its
underwater though
PhoenixFire081: and
its all in shades of blue and white
Junkeeb: the
water scenes were as lauren says
Manolis: no, i mean page six, when
she is still outside the sea
JenSugah: There's
a scene where she's fly-swimming for him
JenSugah: she's
white-ish there
Manolis: in the next page, she's
diving in, and she is definitely colored as heather
Manolis: i really got confused
there
Manolis: very distracting
Junkeeb: no
that was heather
JenSugah: Not
me, I just figured it was a coloring error and went on:-P
PhoenixFire081: yes
that was heather
Manolis: it's storm, she's wearing
the sunglasses
PhoenixFire081: in
panel two
JenSugah: It
was Storm
PhoenixFire081: in the
red swim suit
Junkeeb: that
was heather in the red swimsuit
Manolis: definitely storm, her
thoughts continue to the next panel, shere she says she'll fly off
Junkeeb: storm
was in a yellow one
Manolis: well, the colorist
thought it was heather
Junkeeb: no one
is storm and one is heather i am looking at it right now
Junkeeb: you
are confused
JenSugah: page
6 isn't an error though, that really is the sun
Junkeeb: but
it makes sense
Junkeeb: ;-)
PhoenixFire081: me too
PhoenixFire081: i'm
looking at it
Manolis: her thoughts continue in
the next panel "there's blood in the water..." and "the sharks
wil get him first"
Junkeeb: yep
that's the sun
Manolis: okay, one is the sun
Manolis: but the next page is
miscoloured
Junkeeb: nope,
one is thinking then the other is thinking
Junkeeb: not
a continuation
JenSugah: No
Jen, it's Storm on both panels
Manolis: panel two, sunglasses
chick
Manolis: storm had sunglasses
Junkeeb: she
is not wearing glasses her eyes are just shaded
Manolis: the second panel chick is
in the sea already
PhoenixFire081: she's
with neal, jumps off, then she goes into the sea----pan to storm with davey
JenSugah: If it is
Heather, then it was very bad storytelling with the art
JenSugah: Because
the thoughtballoons make it seem like it's one and the same woman
JenSugah: as does the
proximity to Davey
Junkeeb: yeah,
a little confusing i guess, but i followed it
Manolis: it's confusing for sure
then, we can't even decide on who is who!
PhoenixFire081: well
true, the transition wasn't the smoothest one
Manolis: apart from that, ases to
the art
Junkeeb: i
followed it, maybe i'm loopy like that. ;-)
JenSugah: seeing
as Heather was further from Davey when the shark was disposed then before
PhoenixFire081: but
this issue had a lot of transitions like that actually
Manolis: grades?
Manolis: grades in /10 to total
PhoenixFire081: near
perfect
PhoenixFire081: 9
Manolis: 8.5
Junkeeb: 9
then
JenSugah: 8.8/10:-P
Manolis: lol
PhoenixFire081: 8.8?
JenSugah: Yes,
8.8
PhoenixFire081: go
with 9 you freak
Junkeeb: she
has to be different!
Manolis: jen is precise in her
gradings
PhoenixFire081: she
does!
JenSugah: 9-
then
Junkeeb: yay!
PhoenixFire081: hurrah!
Manolis: the bishop part:
PhoenixFire081: bishop,
oh is the cop
JenSugah: The
Bishop part wasn't all that
Manolis: he had little on-time
JenSugah: I don't like
Bishop, or what's done with him
Junkeeb: story
was really fun and simply juicy! my new favorite word!
Manolis: juicy?
Manolis: lord!
Junkeeb: yeah,
juicy!
PhoenixFire081: juicy
indeed
Junkeeb: woohoo!
Manolis: it felt like an episode
of x-files
Manolis: bishop played both mulder
and scully though
Junkeeb: okay,
bishop! the name is real the badge is not!
Manolis: i liked that line ;-)
Manolis: he just loves to wear
those glasses
Junkeeb: he
looks fab i must say, slava draws a fantastic bishop
PhoenixFire081: Bishop
is nice, but uh, he doesn't rock my world
JenSugah: "The
room was equipped with with it's own independant life support system."
Manolis: lol
JenSugah: How
stupid is that?:-P
Manolis: we're in the marvelverse
Manolis: nothing's corny
Manolis: there are people dressing
like chicken out there!
Junkeeb: i
like that part, shows how equipped warbeck was
PhoenixFire081: Me too
Junkeeb, I like that part too
Junkeeb: proving
it was tough to kill him, yet it was done fast and precise
PhoenixFire081: And
the theory about a telekinetic
Manolis: working in a superhero
universe you have to take these things in account
Manolis: i liked how they came to
the conclusion that it was an illusion
PhoenixFire081: it's
going to be interesting how it pans out
JenSugah: They?
JenSugah: Sage
came to that conclusion
JenSugah: Sage
comes to ALL conclusions
Junkeeb: lol,
yeah it was sage!
JenSugah: Sage,
is the QUEEN of conclusions!!
Manolis: well, along with the
doctor
JenSugah: doctor
did the preparing work, Sage made the final analysys:-P
Manolis: he pointed out that he is
a swimmer and all that
Manolis: mulder and scully at
work!
Manolis: bishop plays skinner
Manolis: clueless
PhoenixFire081: Sage has
to be one of my new favorite characters
JenSugah: The
doctor had NO clue mutants were involved!!
JenSugah: She's
one of mine too Lauren
PhoenixFire081: and I
give major props to CC for reinventing her in such a great manner
JenSugah: Oh
yeah
Manolis: okay, transition to
sage's part
Junkeeb: sage
is juicy! oops...
Manolis:
;-)
PhoenixFire081: hehehe
PhoenixFire081: she
is!
JenSugah:
=-OJen!!
Manolis: sage is voluptuous
Manolis: i love that word
PhoenixFire081: and
salva pens a wonderful Sage
JenSugah: The
Sage parts were the best of the issue, 'nuff said
PhoenixFire081: i love
the panel where she's looking in the mirror
Manolis: i agree
Junkeeb: sage
was awesome this issue
Manolis: i liked al the subtle
transitions
Manolis: especially the water into
wine
Junkeeb: the
subtle transitions were great
PhoenixFire081: yes,
wasn't that a nice touch?
JenSugah: all
the transitions were awesome
Manolis: in the start she's
sipping water and then she comments on how nice the “wine” is
Junkeeb: i
like how we the reader were clued into to what was happening and we had to
watch sage and she tried to work her way in the illusions
JenSugah: and
it put Lady Mastermind as an even better one then her dad
Manolis: didn't she look just like
thaiis?
Manolis: but tessa commented the
face wasn't hers
JenSugah: And
the 'it's not her true face' was put there cause Lady Mastermind is a dark
haired woman:-P
Manolis: and then her duel with
mastermind
JenSugah: Duel?
Smacking her and then kicking her around isn't what I call a 'duel':-P
Manolis: duel of the minds
PhoenixFire081: and do
you guys think that mastermind is connected to the murder of viceroy?
Manolis: definitely!
JenSugah: Oh
yes
Junkeeb: yes!
JenSugah: He
was shooting at a opponent that wasn't there
PhoenixFire081: yeah
me too, especially with all the illusion talk
JenSugah: Put
there by Lady Mastermind
Manolis: so, tessa kicked the crap
out of mastermind
Manolis: but the illusions still
baffled her
Manolis: i liked hearing her
thoughts, trying to control herself
Manolis: cast aside the illusions
PhoenixFire081: yeah
because she knew that even when mastermind was disabled his illusions quit
JenSugah: But
his daughter's keep going
JenSugah: Sage
had to fight them even when she was down
Junkeeb: yes,
true. she didn't even realise she was still inside the illusion
Manolis: oh, wasn't mastemind's
name originally martinique or something?
Manolis: i heard that online
JenSugah: Martinique
Jason
Manolis: oh, that sounds like a
false name
Manolis: so, regan is probably her
real name
Junkeeb: and
then fell into the trap when she finally figured it out
PhoenixFire081: well
it was like a tandom illusion event
Junkeeb: that
was very cool!
PhoenixFire081: it was
a great little twist
Manolis: i liked seeing more of
her original costume too ;-)
PhoenixFire081: hahaha
JenSugah: Men.....
Manolis: the old hellfire club
knew how to dress
PhoenixFire081: the
more ass the better the issue
JenSugah: It's
such a sado massochistic costume
Junkeeb: seriously
this was one hot issue!
JenSugah: It
just screams 'tie me down and spank me!!!!'
Junkeeb: hardbodies
on parade!
Manolis: jumping to storm and
tbird ;)
JenSugah: Oh,
Thunder bird!!!!!!!!
Junkeeb: more
hottie here than an episode of baywatch!
JenSugah: He
can light my fire anytime....
Manolis: i half expected pamela
lee to jump in
Junkeeb: lol
JenSugah: *licks
lips*
Manolis: and she did
PhoenixFire081: neal
baby, i need your digits baby
PhoenixFire081: call
me sugah
JenSugah: The
speedo's!!!
Junkeeb: neal
you have abs of the gods!
PhoenixFire081: Mmmm,
the six pack
JenSugah: And...and....and...they
kept showing his butt!!!
JenSugah: in
tight black speedos!!!
Junkeeb: i
am finally glad neal is part of the team!
JenSugah: Me
too!!
Junkeeb: i
hope we see more of him!
Junkeeb: ;-)
JenSugah: LOL!!!!
PhoenixFire081: me
too!
JenSugah: Panel
3: a Classic
Manolis: what was panel 3?
JenSugah: Page
5, panel 3 is a classic
Manolis: um. don't have the comic
now
JenSugah: It
has Heather and Neal talking
Manolis: oh, tbird's butt shot
Junkeeb: lol,
neal’s booty call!
PhoenixFire081: haha
JenSugah: from
a low perspective, with a perfect shot of Neal's fine booty!!!:D
PhoenixFire081: but his
"friend" died
PhoenixFire081: that
annoyed me
Manolis: yeah, poor boy, mourns by
going on a date with pamela lee
PhoenixFire081: lol
Junkeeb: well
he isn;t going to tell a complete stranger his life story
Manolis: true
PhoenixFire081: good
point
Junkeeb: he
would scare her off or turn her off
JenSugah: yeah,
he isn't comfortable about telling intimate stuff like that to someone he
doesn't know
Junkeeb: he
was trying to turn her offer for a dance down nicely
Manolis: he's really starting to
develop
PhoenixFire081: he
could have said that he hasn't showered in days or something
Junkeeb: but
heather was perceptive, she caught on
JenSugah: Not
cause he wants her, but just cause he doesn't want to tell someone he doesn't know
well something as intimate as that
Junkeeb: when
she asked if her loved his friend
Manolis: i liked his rebuttal at
storm
Manolis: about the dancing
JenSugah: Page
7: panel 1, another classic
Manolis: um?
Junkeeb: i
meant "he"
Manolis: which is that?
Manolis: storm's ass?
JenSugah: More
Neal booty
Junkeeb: another
of neal's booty call!
PhoenixFire081: "being
with her was like embracing the sun"
PhoenixFire081: that
was so nice
Junkeeb: the
world is colder now, sigh betsy was soooooo lucky!
PhoenixFire081: :-(
PhoenixFire081: she
was
Manolis: oh
Manolis: didn;t you think the
shark was too damn convenient?
Manolis: neal's approach seemed so
funny, he walked up to a complete stranger super-babe...
Junkeeb: um,
no apparently there are tons of sharks in surfer's paradise that time of year
PhoenixFire081: that
was a BIG shark though
Manolis: yeah, huge
Junkeeb: well
hollywood's not gonna put in a puny shark are they?
Junkeeb: i
mean where's the drama in that?
JenSugah: "ooh,
it's a 0.5 feet baby white shark!!! run!!"
Manolis: claremont loves big sea
threats
Manolis: remember scott and
maddie's honeymoon?
Manolis: they bumped into a
gigantic octopus for crying out loud!
JenSugah: Not
an octopus, a squid
PhoenixFire081: hahaha
Junkeeb: c'mon
it was there for excitement, embellishments are for entertainment purposes!
Junkeeb: lol
Manolis: the whole storyline so
far feels like a summer blockbuster
PhoenixFire081: yes, i
can undersand why they'd want to make sharks bigger than houses
JenSugah: Damn,
all I have in my head now is 'Neal, Neal, look at his booty, Neal, Neal, mmmm,
fine booty and great abs....oooh, look at his body, Neal, Neal"
Junkeeb: it
does. i definitely felt like this was the high adventure, high romance cc
promised
PhoenixFire081: yes! i
love that about this book jen
Manolis: hmm, we'll get to that in
the end
PhoenixFire081: there's
no definitive "arc"
Manolis: hm, i think there is
PhoenixFire081: i
haven't seen one yet
Manolis: issues 5-8 are the
australia arc
Manolis: 1-4 the spain arc
PhoenixFire081: that
so?
PhoenixFire081: ahh
JenSugah: Yeah,
pretty much
JenSugah: But
the story goes through them
Junkeeb: yeah,
but the story does seem to continue on
Manolis: we'll see
PhoenixFire081: i mean
honestly, its different from all the cores
JenSugah: 228-249
was Australian era in CC's first run, but in that, you had: The Brood arc, the
Genosha arc, the Mastermold arc and the Reavers arc
PhoenixFire081: its
classic x-men, yet its refreshing
Junkeeb: i
thought it was a natural progression
JenSugah: It's
going the same in X-Treme
PhoenixFire081: i
think CC is definetely showing his stuff in this book
Manolis: something that struck me
strange
Manolis: two issues ago storm was
all shy
Manolis: about wearing the dress
and all
Manolis: and this issue she's
wearing that skimpy little sexy thing
Junkeeb: she
was shy then, but with davey and the way he looks at her and him being a
stranger
PhoenixFire081: i love
the looks those two share!
Manolis: well ,she was shy in
front of rogue and the others
Junkeeb: she
felt sexier and ready to go out and be sexy!
Manolis: they have surely seen her
"evening showers"
Manolis: i remember from
claremont's early stuff
Manolis: storm complaining about wanting
to go skinny-dipping
JenSugah: She
wasn't trying to imress anyone with that dress earlyer on in the series, but
now, she wanted to impress the cute surfer, of course you dress up for
that!!!!!!!!!!!
Junkeeb: me
too lauren davey and storm seem to have chemistry and so early on
JenSugah: yeah
PhoenixFire081: from
the moment they first see one another
Manolis: davey was likeable
PhoenixFire081: it's
like, instant
JenSugah: Davey
uses SUCH a corny line on her though
Manolis: t-bird was cornier
JenSugah: T-Bird? You
DARE talk bad about our little wet dream?????
Manolis: i don't like heather
JenSugah: I
like Heather
PhoenixFire081: if she
wanted your ass you would
Manolis: oh, that's another point
JenSugah: a
strong female
Junkeeb: i like
heather
PhoenixFire081: i like
heather, and i bet her power is going to be cool
Manolis: she really didn;t say
much
PhoenixFire081: i mean
come on, we know she's a mutant
Manolis: her power is cool though
JenSugah: Yeah,
she was doing things that no normal lifeguard could do
Manolis: i like the subtle stuff
Junkeeb: i
like heather she did some stuff
Manolis: she became a mutant hero
PhoenixFire081: yeah
it was awesome
Manolis: she uses her powers to
save people, just like the xmen
Junkeeb: plus
like i said she is more perceptive than we think
PhoenixFire081: yeah,
perhaps a telepath?
Junkeeb: perhaps
PhoenixFire081: (do we
need another in the world?)
JenSugah: Heather
is probably a well developed water elemental
Junkeeb: not
really
Manolis: hey, with charley and
psylocke gone...
PhoenixFire081: charley
isn't gone
PhoenixFire081: just,
err...pushed aside
Manolis: he's taken over by a hag
Junkeeb: he's
just put away!
PhoenixFire081: oh you
think cassie's hot manolis
Junkeeb: ;-)
PhoenixFire081: admit
it
Manolis: aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh=-O
Manolis: damn you, i gotta get to
sleep afterwards
PhoenixFire081: :-P
JenSugah: We
didn't discuss Storm's stupidity yet
PhoenixFire081: we
haven't discussed yours either jen
JenSugah: "Heather,
lifeguard, do you know CPR??"
Manolis: oh!
Manolis: lol
JenSugah: that
was SO silly!!
Manolis: you're right
PhoenixFire081: omg
that was
JenSugah: She
is a lifeguard, of course she does you white haired bimbo weather bitch!!
Manolis: she was so lovestruck at
the moment
JenSugah: I'm
so gonna get censored:-P
Junkeeb: lol
Manolis: no, i'll leave that in
JenSugah: She
hadn't even TALKED to the guy Manolis!!
Manolis: not lauren's though
Manolis: she was too busy drooling
over his abs
Manolis: ok R&R
Manolis: i liked it too
Manolis: red lotus was silly
steretype japanese guy
JenSugah: Don't
care about the people that are bitching about Rogue catching the needle, the
scenes with Rogue were great
Junkeeb: very
fun scene and that examiner is one sick fuck!
Manolis: it was a slick scene
JenSugah: Rogue
has superhuman speed!! She can do things like catching such a slow needle!!
PhoenixFire081: oohh,
the panel where Rogue is in an altered "happy state" and the creepy
old guy has his finger at her lips is simply creepy!
Junkeeb: i
loved the rogue catching the needles scene!
Junkeeb: rogue
saved the day! YAY
PhoenixFire081: yeah!
I liked it when she caught the needle
Manolis: cc has great ideas here
Manolis: the orgasmic effect
Manolis: it was soooooo cool!
PhoenixFire081: yes,
the examiner? whatever, more like Captain Orgasmo
JenSugah: I'm
not sure if the orgasmic scene was aimed at Rogue's disability to experience
touch though
Junkeeb: yeah,
torturing rogue through orgasmic means was way warped!
Manolis: it was a sure way to
toture her, since he knew her powers
Manolis: she had only once before felt
orgasm.. i suppose
JenSugah: being
put in a state of pure extacy and then having it taken away would be bad for
everyone
JenSugah: not
orgasm...PURE EXTACY! That's beyond orgasms
JenSugah: She
was probably hurt because he took her virginity:-P
Junkeeb: yeah,
it was the nirvana of orgasms!
PhoenixFire081: it's
like, multiples
JenSugah: Multiples,
and beyond
Manolis: lol, with gambit or with
the examiner?
JenSugah: satisfaction
on all fronts
PhoenixFire081: hahaha
Junkeeb: sick
twisted bastard!
Manolis: "oh remy, sugah, you
can't satisfy me like the old coot did..."
PhoenixFire081: rofl
Junkeeb: smacks
manolis across the room
Manolis: ouch
JenSugah: "Oh,
old ugly chinese man, give it to me...."
PhoenixFire081: *cue
porno music*
JenSugah: lol
PhoenixFire081: yeah,
"please sir, can i have some more?"
JenSugah: Then
she saved the day and we got to see Gambit's chest ^__^
Manolis: and the obligatory butt
shot
Junkeeb: yes,
rogue’s is the hero and we see remy pecs, it was a perfect scene!
Manolis: ok, who think rogue
secretly stole the orgasmic needles?
PhoenixFire081: hahaha
Junkeeb: smacks
manolis harder across the room
PhoenixFire081: i
think she took a couple for good measure
Manolis: she has every right to, i
think
PhoenixFire081: ya
know, to study them further
Manolis: yes, call gambit in her
room to help her with studying
PhoenixFire081: wait,
she did take Red Lotus
PhoenixFire081: isn't
that the same thing?
Junkeeb: perhaps
remy took some to, “ hey chere i got somthing for you”
Manolis: lol, for her birthday
PhoenixFire081: i thought
the panel with her carrying him, and remy standing there was funny
Manolis: "why are u taking
him chere?" "just something for the road sugah"
Manolis: oh, since berry isn't
here
Manolis: we have to make the
underwear argument
PhoenixFire081: underwear?
in honor of sara?
Junkeeb: yeah,
what is up with the matching panties?
PhoenixFire081: LOL
JenSugah: I
claim her panties, and that's final
PhoenixFire081: yeah,
that was pretty funny
PhoenixFire081: maybe
they put them in them
Manolis: remy wore orange undies?
Manolis: oh, lord!
JenSugah: They
were yellow
Junkeeb: yeah
they were yellow, you know manolis most men are color blind
Junkeeb: ;-)
JenSugah: I
think the Examiner put them in those matching underwear
Junkeeb: i
think so too
Manolis: the old coot undressed
them and put some new panties on?
PhoenixFire081: yeah i
think so
JenSugah: So...the
examiner undressed remy, got to see him naked and put them in those briefs?
JenSugah: I
hate him!!
JenSugah: He
saw Remy naked!
Manolis: who knows what he did to
them while they were unconshious
JenSugah: Now
why don't they show US those things in the comic?
Manolis: lol, hidden villainCams
Junkeeb: lol
JenSugah: It's
not like I'd MIND seeing Remy's bare booty, nor would I be insulted if they
show his pee-pee!!!
Manolis: ok, red lotus was dressed
as robin, asain boy wonder
PhoenixFire081: :-O
Manolis: pee-pee?
PhoenixFire081: pee-pee?
aren't you beyond that
Junkeeb: lol!
hahahahahahahahah!
PhoenixFire081: there
we go
JenSugah: A
well drawn naked Gambit would not be offending, it would be art!!
PhoenixFire081: hahahahaha
Junkeeb: it
would be
JenSugah: Like,
a cajun-saussage
Manolis: they always sneak a nude scene
in there, didya notice?
Manolis: also in issue 4 with the
sketch
Junkeeb: i
support that comment 100% jen!
PhoenixFire081: hahahahahaha
PhoenixFire081: lucky
rogue
Manolis: ok, red lotus was dressed
as robin, asain boy wonder. agree or disagree?
Junkeeb: lol
PhoenixFire081: asian
boy wonder
Manolis: the coloring is tyhesame!
Manolis: the same'
PhoenixFire081: yes it
is
Manolis: in the first panel it
struck me really weird
JenSugah: Shaw
wouldn't mind to control the Australian crime scene of course, and he framed
Gambit to get the X-Treme team, who he undoubtively knows about, to check it
out, so he could get a hold of Sage
Junkeeb: “holy
harpoon, examiner, you can't do that!”
PhoenixFire081: haha,
Manolis: er, jen? what are you
talking about?
JenSugah: Jen
did a robin impression
Manolis: lol!
JenSugah: I
saw two episodes of the old batman series here today
Junkeeb: manolis
you are so slow, when jokes have to be explained to you...
JenSugah: God
it was corny
PhoenixFire081: hahahaha
Junkeeb: such
a shame, and he is such a nice greek boy too...
Manolis: so, final round
Manolis: claremont discussion!
PhoenixFire081: i need
to give him a hug
JenSugah: CC
deserves a hug!!
PhoenixFire081: he
does!
Junkeeb: okay
you guys hug him, i will simply give him a pat on the back
PhoenixFire081: i am
so serious. I'm going to walk up to him, and give him a huge hug!
JenSugah: I
was sceptic about this series for the first 4 issues
JenSugah: But
5 and 6 were just wonderfull
Manolis: i didn't really like the
first 3 issues
Manolis: hated issue 1 actually
Manolis: but issue 4 was lovely
Manolis: last issue was a bit
confusing
Manolis: this issue was perfect!
GRADING CLAREMONT ;)
Manolis: so, claremont comments?
Manolis: and the title so far?
JenSugah: The
title gets a 9 from me
PhoenixFire081: a 9
here
JenSugah: And
this issue....9.7, almost perfect
Manolis: an 8
Junkeeb: yeah
a 9
Manolis: it started awful
Manolis: and do you think cc can be
compare now to his original work
PhoenixFire081: well,
his first run of x-men is really nothing you can compare it to
Manolis: but the latest are gems
Manolis: so,it goes half and half
JenSugah: he
gets an 8 for me compared to his firstr run
PhoenixFire081: he
revolutionized x-men, and without him, the x-men would be totally different
Manolis: his first run is divine
Manolis: i can;t compare it either
Junkeeb: i
liked issue 1 and 3 was my fave issue so far. but 6 is a close second. ;-)
Manolis: so, let's grade the
writing now
Manolis: /10 as always
Junkeeb: the
writing was juicy! i give it a 9! =)
PhoenixFire081: cool!
Manolis: hmmm, 8. i just know he
will get better and better still
PhoenixFire081: the
writing was juicy, romantic, and action packed
PhoenixFire081: i give
it a 9 indeed
JenSugah: Oh,
9.8!!!!
PhoenixFire081: i
swear to god jen
Manolis: i'll make that a 10 for
you
JenSugah: No
no, it wasn't perfect
JenSugah: but
close
Manolis: so, 9.5
JenSugah: Nah....a
9.4 is better
JenSugah: I
was too enthausiastic;-)
Manolis: 9.8 will screw over the
average
PhoenixFire081: hahaha
JenSugah: A
9 then!!!
Manolis: oh lord jen, i swear
JenSugah: Shut
up greek bitch-boy
PhoenixFire081: and
again, i need to give CC a hug
Manolis: ok, all, massive cc hug
PhoenixFire081: yeah!
Junkeeb: a
group hug goes out to cc!
Manolis: we love ya chris!
Manolis: for me, this is the
ultimate summer blockbuster, mark millar my @$$, cc is far better. sorry lauren
PhoenixFire081: whoa, i
have to defend mark greek boy
Manolis: there is action, romance,
daring escapades, deathtraps
PhoenixFire081: i
shall kick thy ass!
Junkeeb: i
agree with manolis
Manolis: you liked ultxmen #1-6
better than this?
Manolis: stuff was blown up, but
no character moments
PhoenixFire081: oh
wow, *grabs bat*
Junkeeb: this
was a complete summer blockbuster, action packed and fun! with romance abound!
Manolis: and still on part 2 of 4!
Junkeeb: run
manolis! she is one of marky's harem!
Manolis: aaaahhhhhh!
PhoenixFire081: well
so far, I can't compare it to mark's work. He's amazing and I love his Ultimate
X-men, and it IS my favorite book right now (along with New and X-Treme)
Junkeeb: i
can't protect you from that bat
PhoenixFire081: but
they're two different beasts
PhoenixFire081: claremont
has this wonderful mix of old and new going for him
PhoenixFire081: and I
totally love the sweeping stories that he's told so far
Manolis: well, i'm saying that
although mark millar's stuff is marketed as "da shit- super blockbuster
movie",it's claremont who is delivering in that style
[...
discussion raged on, i’m sparing you the specifics ;)]
Manolis: and a final overall grade
for it
Manolis: i give it a 8.5
Junkeeb: i
have to say it was very entertaining
PhoenixFire081: 9
Junkeeb: packed
with all the high adventure, drama and romance! lots of fun!
JenSugah: I
give it a 9
Manolis: what? no 9.05?
Junkeeb: a
juicy little number that gets an overall 9
PhoenixFire081: yes
jen!
JenSugah: It
had great art, and awesome character moments
JenSugah: Good
Rogue and Gambit interaction
JenSugah: Great
Neal body and booty shots
JenSugah: great
Sage moments
JenSugah: Great
Neal booty and body shots
JenSugah: great
Storm and Davey things
Manolis: oh, forgot to ask...
Manolis: anything that really
miffed you about it? any gripes?
JenSugah: Awesome
Neal body.....
PhoenixFire081: hmm,
rogue's look
JenSugah: Only
Bishop being in it....I really don't like him
PhoenixFire081: i want
her to look more like a southern belle
Junkeeb: rogue
could be drawn better
JenSugah: That
would require her hair to be longer
Junkeeb: me
too lauren!
Manolis: what was your favourite
look for heer?
JenSugah: the
only good-looking Rogue with short hair was drawn by Tom Raney in X-Men 103
Manolis: me, it's paul smith's
look with the green suit and hood
PhoenixFire081: rogue
is tough, brash, sassy, and rough and tumble; all the while being a sexy little
southern belle--thats what makes her Rogue!
Manolis: circa uxm175
Junkeeb: i
like how she looked in UXM #385
JenSugah: My
favorite Rogue was the one from late 200's Uncanny and early X-Men
PhoenixFire081: 385
looked awesome!
Manolis: the orange suit? john romita
look, right?
PhoenixFire081: i
think also, not seeing her eyes is hard
PhoenixFire081: because
there's so much life in them
JenSugah: Rogue
looked good in Uncanny 385....but X-Men 103 had the best short hair Rogue so
far
PhoenixFire081: i mean
we did this time because her power was awol
Junkeeb: i
now need her to lose those shades in the worst way!
JenSugah: me
too
PhoenixFire081: yeah
her eyes are such a barometer for her attitude
Junkeeb: she
needs her sparky flirty nature back!
PhoenixFire081: yeah,
something is eating her
PhoenixFire081: and
its not gambit
JenSugah: I
don't care if it's a devastating traumatic event, she just needs her eyes again:-P
PhoenixFire081: In the
savage land mini, she looked totally beautiful
Manolis: oh, jen you had mentioned
the eye color change
Junkeeb: yeah
in the panel she cathes the needle her eyes are a very purposeful blue!!
Manolis: carol coming back?
Junkeeb: could
that be ms marvel???
JenSugah: Carol
coming back to help Rogue with her needle-catching experience?:-P
Manolis: cc has hinted at it
JenSugah:
:-\
Manolis:
;-)
Junkeeb: we'll
see how this plays out!
PhoenixFire081: so
does this conclude the chat?
JenSugah: I
think this should be ended soon or something:-P
