My off-the-cuff guess: Northstar controls more light as he is no longer sharing his power with his sister who is dead. His body may need to shed excess power.

Hmm... ComicVine lists Age of X:Universe as having Madison & Lionel Jeffries appearing... I didn't notice them when I skimmed through #1, but being written by Mr X-Club Oneshot himself, Si Spurrier it'd make sense.
Anyone else notice them?
EDIT:
It is indeed the brothers Jeffries!
On page 6 (of actual artwork) there's a flashback panel of them taking down Iron Man!
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd confirmed by Si Spurrier himself!

They certainly do! An impressive observation -- most people have missed IDing the Jeffries bros altogether. :)
Cool. And cooler that they used the much-neglected (and also, dead) Lionel.
Hey, did House of M: Masters of Evil #4 ever come out at all? I'm pretty sure he wasn't going to be in it, but still, I bought the first three for him, I'd like the last issue.

Well, I was hunting it just to finish the mini-, but now there's another reason!
Agh, how do I find it?
Oh, well, I'll figure something out.

Cordelia: I think it's great to do that before you go out and fail in the real world. That way you're not falling back on something. You're falling... well, forward.
Xander: And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?
Yeah I read it and had no clue it was the jeffries brothers till I took a much closer look. Makes sense as they brought back several "dead" mutants from the main 616 universe.
Looks as if Box ought to be in the lower left panel as well. Who is Basilisk talking to? I think they left him out! He should be direct left from Basilisk's left shoulder.
And that's definitely Northstar on page 3 of the preview:

Looks like a couple of the people in the last panel, aren't in the 2nd-last panel, even though they should be. Makes me think that 2nd-last panel has the two conversationalists only in it, because they have turned and therefore screwed up the reader's view, so Box would be just off-panel. That's my best explanation; years too late for the coveted no-prize, eh?Quote:

The art isn't terribly good IMHO.

Not many appearances other than the ones in the preview pages, I'm afraid.
But at least 'Box' gets some lines :D
Hm... I hope his appearance is more than just that bit?

Mike Carey can usually do no wrong in my book (I am currently brain deep in the Felix Castor novels and loving every second of it), but the rave bracelets just look sillier and sillier every time I see them.
To be fair, if he's not being used in the actual story at all it could well be that it wasn't Carey's doing, merely whichever artist redesigned him.
If you look closely at the things on Northstar's wrists, you can see the knots, leading more to 'he's wearing string' for me... though the 'knots' could be the jewels that cause the light streams.

This is a strange question, a bit off-topic so moderators feel free to boot to another thread...
Does your copy of X-Men Legacy #247 have a solicit on the last page of the book for New Mutants #24 with the cover for X-Men Legacy #247 or New Mutants #24? Both my copy and the variant copy I have both show the cover for X-Men Legacy #247 in the place where it should have the cover for New Mutants #24. Seems like a misprint to me.
Love,
rplass
Yup, & all the copies I've seen are the same.
Northstar appears in a few more panels in regular continuity/timeline/universe/whatever as it all aligns at the end, in his standard costume.
One panel he looks to be talking to Wolverine.
No Box that I can see.
I can't see either in Age of X:Universe #2 either, but could be wrong.
All in all, a fair showing of the two in the series so far. A few lines, mention of Aurora (that fits in with her not being on Utopia) and use of the Box armour.
Then I guess Phil's plan is working.Quote:

Is that Jeffries on the right hand side, or has Namor suddenly developed designed stubble?
I'm going to guess Namor - partially because of his proximity to the "Power" end of the table with Cyclops and Emma as opposed to the "Brainy" end with Rao and Nemesis, and partially because of the high, open collared blue shirt which we've seen Namor in before but never Jeffries.

My guess is they are some sort of energy band/whip that causes damage when you brush up against them. Would be pretty cool in battle IMO.
Jeffries appears in one panel with a line in X-Men Legacy #248 "It was misery and horror from start to finish. Rip it out of me." in regards to Frost/ The Cuckoos wiping the memories of Age of X from everyone.
I've changed my mind about the mystery character being Jeffries. Here is a re-creation of the character with some minor coloring changes. Read all about it here.

haha that's great, well done
Yeah, my thought was that if you halved the table from Frost's right shoulder to Nemesis' right shoulder then that'd be the power balance and Madison would be on the science team side.
His behing that far to the left is artistic licence as to not have him obscured by Frost and while you could have Madison moved up a bit, having Angel where he is as a standing central focal point works with the page dynamics and the symmetry.
Yeah, I wonder why that scene weren't drawn from a higher perspective. If you want to show everyone at a table, you look down on them from above the plane of the table. You don't have to look straight down on them from a point in the ceiling, but just above the table is enough to see over the characters in the foreground. If the perspective were about a foot above Emma's shoulder instead of square behind her back, he could have put Jeffries right next to Dr. Rao AND fit Namor next to Emma.
You make good points... I know that sometimes, as an artist, I just assume a straight-ahead, eye-level persepective. It's hard to get over that 'hump' of realising I need to / can change perspective.

Eh, not big news but thanks for scrolling down. Northstar appears in one panel in flashback to the scene in New Mutants #24 where he's kneeling down and holding his head. That's all, but it's a pretty good issue so go buy it!
Ugh... $4.99 for one panel.... I still bought it though :(
I'm fed up of paying $2 for reprints I don't care about though!!! I can get the back issue for that!
Come on guys! Beef it up! Now that we've got a new series, you're getting soft?!??! Toughen up a little!
No more complaining! If baby rplass whined like that I'd send her to her room! Well, her room is full of kids comic books so maybe that's not such a good example but hey, quit yer whining!!!
It's the reprint I'm complaining about.
There should be a standard $2.99 version and then a $4.99 version + reprint. Or a $3.99 + voucher for digital reprint download or something.
But then again beer should be free and there should be world peace.
I tend to just buy the stories Alpha feature prominently in. Northstar and Jeffires being affiliated to the X-Men presents to many appearences to get every one. Periodically I pick up the British Marvel 'Essential X-Men' which reprints three X Title issues for £2.95. Get a few minor appearences in that.
Is that Box's foot in one of the panel's too?
