Okay so Marvel announced DICK at C2E2 and I wanted to find out what was up. So I hit up all my fellow retail friends that are more deeply connected than I am. The word is the huge black eye X-Men Gold #1 gave them made everyone up the chain a little worried so they have slowed down the new title rollout. We probably won't see additional X-Men books announced until SDCC and NYCC.

That sounds more like an assumption on their part than anything else. Because I'm pretty sure nobody really blamed Marvel for what happened. And besides that the reception to the actual books themselves has been really good.

Yeah, it sounds like they are over reacting but I can understand them wanting to play it safe.

Aarons Quentin is always the definitive for me. That first volume of Wolverine and the X-men is just so fantastic. Its too bad the second really screws the pooch.

I just ignore the second volume. It was all bad.

They should bring back Excalibur, but with the subtitle being "Coalition of Chaos."

Excal, X-Force and X-Factor were all supposed to be announced at C2E2. The X-Men Gold bullshit gave them cold feet so they're all delayed.

Remember when Sunfire got both his legs chopped off by Lady Deathstrike and died, but first got Rogue to take his powers permanently so she could bring Deathstrike to justice, and then for a while Rogue had Sunfire's powers permanently?

Did Sunfire's younger sister (Sunpyre) ever appear again after the Eve of Destruction storyline from immediately before Morrison and Quitely took over the comic?

Didn't Apocalypse restore Sunfire? And he even got his AOA appearance in the deal.

Nearly all my preorders have dropped Blue and Gold from their pulls. Orders are way up on Weapon X and Cable and we sold 60 copies of Astonishing #1 and had to reorder more.

So something's working here, just not everything.

I'm pretty sure Wolverine's body is in possession of The Avengers or one of the X-Men groups. I distinctly remember that being addressed in one of the earlier issues of Old Man Logan that Captain America was in. I might be making this up, though I can almost swear it happened.

Steve took OML to see it very early in the ongoing.

Does anyone have any idea when the NEXT appearance of OG Wolverine is? He showed up in Legacy #1 and then... I feel like there' be more promotion about his return. I try to search google news about it but I keep getting news about actual real wolverines. Apparently they're a problem somewhere in the US.

My desire to read anything involving OML is just immediately evaporated now that regular Logan is back. Laura is still a worthwhile character, as is Daken. I've read about 3 panels with Jimmy Hudson in them, and I feel like he came to 616 just for that surprise silhouette with claws on that one issue of blue. But OK, whatever, him to, I'll see what he's about. But OML is just substitute Wolverine and there's no reason for him anymore.

I think somebody said ANGotG.

The first arc of Cable was fun, and what I always wanted from Cable. And then Ed Brisson took over and it started being garbage.

Agreed so much here though. That book had the strongest launch of all the new x-books and it fell off for us so goddamned hard. Every single preorder has dropped it since Legacy began.

I had an interesting conversation at the store. What race is Laura (Wolverine) portrayed as in the comics? Because it seems she's become something of a hispanic icon since Logan was released but I was under the impression that her comic book mom was Asian? Have they clarified this ever?

She's as Asian as Logan is.

Her mother wasn't Asian either, and even if she was her DNA wasn't used in the cloning.

I'm probably just thinking of how she was drawn in her early mini series. My customer was pretty adamant that she was hispanic in comics and film.
