Or, X-Club is disbanded now that Dr. Nemesis is on X-Force and we'll be seeing little or no Jeffries or Dr. Kavita Rao... but I hope it's more X-Club of course.
Such terrible designs.
Those designs... When will the X-tream 90's end?!
I'd just like to see Jeffries in a book where he's not treated like a tool or a joke. Come on people, this is your chance to have a ****ing Gundam pilot in a team book, essentially. One who can alter his robot with his mind, with nothing more than contact with a genius who has design ideas. There are SO MANY STORY POSSIBILITIES, hero or villain, and all would be epic, because HE'D BE A FREEKING GUNDAM PILOT!
I'm confident that if Madison had the will and a reason, he could be a threat to the likes of Tony Stark! But they treat him like a plot device. The guy who just speeds up the production process for whatever the main characters in a story needs to further their agenda. Why?!
*I* knew what you meant.
Ah. Homaging film posters has taken off as a recent trend in comics (not that it's new, just more common now - see the 2010 X-Men and their vampire movie posters). I kinda like it.
I hadn't recognised this one, though. I know the Usual Suspects poster you mean, now that you point it out, but the only Trainspotting one I can remember is some guy screaming.
Usual Suspects is especially appropriate, considering what the director went on to do.

I can see the Usual Suspect homage, but I don't see the comparison between Trainspotting

Hi Dennis, I just wondered what made you choose Forge for Cable & X-Force rather than Madison Jeffries who's been filling a similar sort of position with the X-Verse lately, has ties to Dr. Nemesis, and is also a combat veteran (and slightly mentally unhinged too)?
Dennis Hopeless: Phil! The boring answer is that I like Forge and wanted to write him.
Beyond that, I guess Forge and Cable seemed like a sci-fi Butch and Sundance. They both have these nutso checkered pasts and understand one another even when they can't agree. That pairing just made sense to me.
That was a nice question by that Phil guy.
