Best. Kitty. Issue. Ever
I currently still go with my guess like 6 months ago or whenever it was #12 came out and we first saw these 'Hellfire Club' mooks. I posted it someplace around here. Or maybe at the Archive.
But essentially it was a guess that all the people represent an aspect of Emma's personality and she's basically imagining them and having a bit of a breakdown for whatever reason and that all the bad mojo she's working is exactly that, just mojo. For what it's worth, I guessed 'Perfection' as going to be revealed as looking like
Jean Grey in the old White Queen uniform, so I was a bit out there.
I think that idea still goes, but does recquire a bit of refining what with the Cassie Nova flashback. I also think the Scott-mindshaft is a patented WHite Queen cruel-to-be-kind sneaky bitch move and that Scott's gonna come back in control of his optic beams and kick some ass
just like she intended.
I like the way the writing has not invalidated my ol guess - unless I have missed something obvious- yet but has thrown some spanners in there too, like the flashback to before E is for Extinction. Good stuff. I hope I am flat out wrong. I'd rather be wrong as then I'd have been misled by a writer for ages and the revelation will be some awesome left-field thing and that would be ace.

I think that exchange is responsible for the book being bumped up to 'Mature' status in the next solicits, as it seems to have slipped past the Marvel guys and they are needing to cover their backs.
******* funny as [composite word including 'f*ck'] tho. That issue is just the best thing.
The Dread Dorkannu or whatver he's called is comedy gold:
"Ha!! I have
one hundred of your Earth dollars!!!"
"I want women. You are aware of thesuicidegirls internet site? Those ones. With the piercings. No blondes."
And Mindless Ones on skateboards! With baseball caps on backwards! "And oh my God, they
explode! My life has new meaning!"
Nextwave is joycore.
What do you guys think of Civil War Frontline? I'm finding it really quite seedy. Don't like the parable back up things at all. And most of the rest of it is a bit meh. And Jenkin's pet reporter character gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Oh, I recently read like all of the Walking Dead, and it was really, really good. Although the last 2 issues were a little bit too grim for me, even for an explicit zombie horror comic.
But that's wondeful stuff. Hawkeye is awesome.
Personally I'm still hoping for the return of an obscure character myself, Sundragon, nice cousin of Moondragons.
