I did!
Kinda. I noticed Agent Brown, but forgot where I knew him from.
I would've totally got away with it, too, if I hadn't just admitted it right here.
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of that side of it.
I loved that bit. At first, I thought 'Do mounties do that?', then I though 'presumably, she just got a different job in a similar field'.
Really? I thought it was kinda obvious from the start, but I knew it going in.
I lol'd!
the exception being Guardian's face - too feminine, and his mask makes him look sleepy.
I did not get that at all. Thought it was fine.
Agreed on both points. I won't be adding Oliver to my list of people who can draw Sasquatch, though he's by no means the worst. (Eaglesham, on the other hand, has made my list! Mwahahah-- wait, I meant that in a good way.)
Also, they did lampshade Kara's switch to the bad side. It came a bit late in the book for me, but it's not like they spent the whole book acting like she'd always been a villain.
Yeah, I'm not sure the human monster works for me either.
Actually, the original, a lot of people did read it!
True, unless you read anything with Katrina Dean (but not, oddly enough, her girlfriend in Runaways), Wiccan and Hulkling (Avengers: Children's Crusade), Batwoman (various Bat-books, her own title is supposed to be coming soon), The Question (she's... around somewhere), Rictor and Shatterstar (thanks to Peter David's canon slash in X-Factor or X-Force), Anatole (X-books), Daken (X-books)...Plus, quite honestly, you don’t find many openly homosexual characters-even in current books.
this isn't something I keep track of, so I've probably forgotten examples.
A theory backed up by the artwork. That was what I thought, too.
They never proved I did that, by the way.
Agreed.
Although, (and this has been discussed elsewhere), the pingers are over-distributed in this issue. Only about three or four of them had them in the original. Shaman and Heather never did, and Northstar had his removed.
If crimefighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight?
Uh, not true.
Also, well done your son. You have taught him well.
But remember to bury your feelings, they can be used against you.
And I thought we'd been filtering out the negative ones. It's good to see we're not; that means that most of them have been positive.
While I agree that the people monster would be impossible (and that's not a plus of this book for me), I don't care nearly as much as this reviewer does. Also, did he notice that there was a restofthebook? It wasn't twenty pages of just that monster.
I never got the impression Birdie had one - she was just there the whole time.
Also, Byrne established that they couldn't implant one in her. Not that these guys, frankly, got everything right.

Excellent point. But AIM cloned Snowbird, so who knows what somebody else might try to do. But I truly hope that no one attempts to put one in Snowbird. [I feel sorry for the one who tries]. Yet, Northstar seems to have an implant, and he's just the main one who (imo) would object. I don't see Michael willingly subjecting himself to this, nor Heather. Who would Michael trust enough to perform this type of surgery?Originally Posted by Le Messor

BTW, the giant human purple monster-man was a bit of a stretch for me, too, but you can't have everything.
In one of the interviews, I believe this series is supposed to be an "in-continuity reboot". Seems to be working.

Once upon a time, they exploded from the pages of The X-Men. For a moment, they were "Canada's answer to The Avengers."
They were ALPHA FLIGHT....

And that's not even getting into the very minor characters, the creator-owned stuff, or even the imprints at the Big Two (Vertigo, Wildstorm, Icon, etc.). The issue is usually less the number of queer characters in comics, but how few of them get anything like significant page time, let alone get to be leading characters in a team line-up.
I'll bet that guy who complained about the purple person-person probably hated the Stay-puffed Marshmellow Man from Ghostbusters too because there was no way he could have supported his own weight. Also on another topic, I thought artists were going for the more realistic look but when did Northstar get implants!
DIGGER (sorry about the implants bit)
I actually agreed with him about the purple person (I've just written a review that talks about it), but not about Stay-Puft. One of the differences (mentioned in my review) is that Stay-Puft is magical. Another is that for this to work, every single one of those people would have to have breath-holding training from Jacques Cousteau, and acrobatics training from Cirque De Soleil. Otherwise, they couldn't hold themselves together like that, or, if they were on the inside, breathe. Let alone the strength required to pull it off.
What I disagreed with him on was, it wasn't nearly as big a deal as he made out of it. Okay, I wrote in length, but I do that. It wasn't the only thing in the issue, and unlike him, I noticed.
Yes, I know he didn't actually talk about Stay-Puft.

...but this is a COMIC BOOK and that means the improbable is, well, probably probable. And maybe they all held their breath til they turned purple.
