So I'm not sold right away on Excalibur. I like the cast but not sure I'll be interested enough in the story to keep it up. I'll ride out the initial arc though and see how I feel.

Sidenote: when did Betsy get her old body back and how? I assume current "psylocke" is kwannon in her original body and Betsy being the new Britain is a way to keep both around.

I only know AoA mondo, and thanks to the artist in genX he was creepy looking. But not Sugarman creepy.

Boy oh boy I was not feeling anything about fallen angels. The artwork didn't appeal to me and the story doesn't seem that exciting so far. Not every x book will be for me but everything is getting at least 3 issues before I start trimming.

I don't remember my first issue # but it was Cyclops stranded on an island by himself with bandages around his eyes...

I am also a lifelong Cyke stan, lol

Sounds like when he and his boss/lover Lee discover magnetos creepy water castle.

The first issue I remember reading was 270-72 I think. loving scary arc with masque where forge and banshee find the Jean doppelganger.

Yep marauders is my top book. Very fun. Excalibur is keeping my interest still but I'm not sure how long. I love the characters, just not sure the plots will hold me.

I'd say sinister, havok and Vulcan for sure. Leaping person looks like sabertooth to me, and yeah egg thing looks like nanny but idk about that. Maybe deathstrike with the sword?

Excalibur is still holding me, the characters in it are good enough for me to stay a while. Xmen was weird but sure why not, and marauders continues being awesome. What's the brief story of shinobi shaw? It looks like a phased hand killed him? I know I've never read anything with him in it but that's all.

I'm probably a no on that one. I hate scalp hunter and emptah as characters and I don't think I'll enjoy reading a series with them in it.

^ didn't know that was a thing so that's interesting.

I am very okay with dropping fallen angels. The plot isn't necessarily bad but holy crap I can't stand the art.

I will keep up with x force though, and new mutants continues to be fun Though I wonder if they'll jump around to different new mutants teams or what. If it gets me rockslide and mercury etc. I'm down.

Excalibur continues to have the most amazing art. It's heavenly to look at. I can't tell if I like the story it's telling, though. Five issues in and it's... serviceable?

Yeah I'm really digging the series even though I'm not quite sure what's going on plot wise. It's gorgeous to look at and like I've said before it's a great team.

I might have missed the discussion but I was a little surprised at how marauders ended. I didn't expect shaw to make a move so quickly, any theories on what our fearless pirate captain will do?

Yeah I don't mind the two different stories, but I'm not a fan of constant jumping between them.

X-force was cool and I'm definitely on board with it.

X-men was amazing and I absolutely need to see the rest of this plot play out.

It's basically in media res, the first page with cyclops is the last page of the issue.

Yeah uncanny 250-282 or whatever is really weird. Everyone is split up and the stuff with callisto is its own mini arc where masque was doing some real hosed up poo poo in the tunnels.

Really liked ff/x, was kitty's injury they reference the one from massacre? Where she was slowly phasing away?

I'm going to play the fight game from New mutants when I get home tonight, including the deathbird shout.

Is that it for new mutants? I noticed it wasn't on the latest release schedule at the back of the issue.

Love Wolverine, and marauders continues to maraud.

Doug hiding Warlock and doing something with Krakoa is super creepy. I'm sure it's related to the Phalanx in some way, but hell if I know how.

I just want to say I did a double take like cyclops when reading that page. Very cool and yeah, super unnerving.
