Do you think the White Queen has turned bad and joined the Hellfire Club again for real in Astonishing X-Men, or will she come through as the saviour of her fellow X-Men at the end? FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

1. I don't mind. It's good to shake things up like this every once in awhile.
2. Shoulda been Gambit. 3. Makes sense. I actually just read the wedding issue last night. | |

But with Storm marrying the Black Panther, she won't be in the X-Men anymore. FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

3. Makes sense. I actually just read the wedding issue last night. 2. I agree. But I think the original intention for him was always to have him be a clone made by Mr. Sinister, as Chris Claremont revealed him to be in X-Men: The End. 3. I just bought the issue today. Haven't read it yet. FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

1) Spider-Man's secret identity revealed to the public 2) The third Summers brother 3) Storm marrying the Black Panther ...and so on. Good or bad? 1. Desperate from a sales gimmick POV, but interesting from a storytelling POV 2. I haven't been following the X-Men in a long time, so I don't know about this. 3. Whatever gets her in at least ONE comic book every month faithfully is okay by me. I don't think her character has been done justice yet, and Marvel desperately needs a strong female character like DC's Wonder Woman. I can see Storm coming close to filling that role if they'd just exploit the character the way they have with Wolverine for the past 20 years. | |

It seems to me that Marvel wants to make Ms Marvel their Wonder Woman. She just got her own book again and she will also be a regular in Avengers. | |

But her name is Ms MARVEL. How much more Marvel mascot can you get? She still has a better chance than She-Hulk. | |

I think She-Hulk is very popular among comic readers, but people who don't read comics just laugh at the name. I think the Capt. Marvel thing flopped because the Fawcett Shazam guy in the 40s was too popular and still in people's heads. | |

I haven't read the stuff... But I'm really disappointed that Spidey is leading the camp FOR the new law...
I used to really like Spidey... But now he's just too PC for me... I remember an old line he said... "My sense of morality is right below my sense of the law" ie: the law comes first, then his conscience... i don't like it. [Edited 8/15/06 15:44pm] | |

I haven't read a comic book in over 15 years.
...but...STORM IS MARRYING THE BLACK PANTHER?!?!?!?! By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

...but...STORM IS MARRYING THE BLACK PANTHER?!?!?!?! That's what I'm saying...one of the worst ideas since the Spider-Clone Saga. The suits at Marvel should go back and re-read those classic 70's Black Panther stories. This review says it all: http://www.thexaxis.com/m...storm6.htm | |

I read neither She-Hulk or Ms. Marvel, but I agree with Anx that Storm could be an icon in the vein of DC's Wonder Woman provided something interesting is done with her. I'm not sure a wedding with the Black Panther is it, although it does give Storm a royal aspect. But on the other hand, Storm sort of had that already - at least when Claremont wrote her.

Looks like they also gave her some implants. if they found some tongue-in-cheek way to resurrect the OLD ms. marvel look (including that delightfully retro cover logo), i bet they could do a re-vamp that would make marvel a few extra pounds of moolah. of course, they tried a mock-ironic superhero comic with x-statix (featuring mike allred (sp?), who i really like), and that was kind of a flop, arguably. still, the old skool ms. marvel pushes MAJOR nostalgia buttons for me. i'd love to see them play with that. | |

Oh, you mean the other "Captain Marvel", Shazam. Well, I never thought he was hot, so no gay icon for me there. I like the original Marvel Captain Marvel man. FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

I just read the wedding issue today. It was alright, although a little pretentious with The Watcher's presence. Besides the wedding issue, I don't read the Black Panther. So with Storm not being in the X-Men now, I guess I won't be seeing much of her in the future. FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!
