The side of mutant supremacy. When Mags told them he didn't have any secret plans against the X-Men(plus all the stuff he said about Joseph), that seemed to be when they attacked him. As for what they are doing with that anti-mutant group, that's something that I can't even guess on...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-26084802656373245432012-01-24T19:54:41.288-05:002012-01-24T19:54:41.288-05:00One question I'm looking forward to having res...One question I'm looking forward to having resolved is what exactly Joseph and Astra's master plans are. Why are they in cahoots with anti-mutant organization 234425? According to the Internet, Astra was booted out of the brotherhood originally because she was more interested in getting rich than in mutant supremacy. As for Joseph, I don't have a clue as to what he wants, since he's been implanted with Magneto's memories, but also knows he's a clone.TRobbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-80740715731714772662012-01-24T00:09:40.426-05:002012-01-24T00:09:40.426-05:00HA!

This issue just didn't please me like the prior two did, but I'm still expecting a good finish. <br /><br />And that's EXACTLY what Marvel needs at this point! Two NEW(-ish) mutant villains running around. At least then we'd get something other than the X-Men battling against each other, bigots or Sentinels every issue.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-24194910185466980042012-01-23T02:49:34.612-05:002012-01-23T02:49:34.612-05:00Man, you guys are trippin!

This is the best-drawn book I am reading, along with avenging spidey. Second, I didn't have the problems you guys had with the story. Mags escaped by forcing Astra to teleport them out of the fight, to avoid having them both crushed by the massive hunk of junk Joseph threatened to bury them with. I was surprised she ported them back to utopia, but there are several possible explanations for that. Most obviously, she had just been impaled by mags, and would've surely been killed had she taken him someplace he didn't want to go.<br /><br />I too have a bad feeling that Joseph and Astra are going to die at the end of this mini. Which would be a true shame. Like x said, it would be nice to have two relatively unexplored mutant villains running around for a change.TRobbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-80513226579607713232012-01-17T21:15:42.005-05:002012-01-17T21:15:42.005-05:00Yeah, I was surprised at how sharply the story fel...Yeah, I was surprised at how sharply the story fell off with this issue... It was pretty disappointing. To be honest though, if they want to keep playing Mags as a “hero”(and I use the term loosely), I wouldn't mind Joseph sticking around as the more evil version of Magneto. It's a longshot, but I'd be all for that.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-18343273707049205592012-01-17T14:54:17.837-05:002012-01-17T14:54:17.837-05:00I felt the exact same way about this issue.

I would rather have issue 4 end with 20 pages of magneto beating and eventually killing joseph. All action while he degrades him as a person(clone). This series says regenesis on it though so we may be looking at some future plot threads falling in place.

I have NO idea how Marvel is going to make this work... They probably should have held this event of another year or two, because since Schism JUST happened, it seems more like it should be the Avengers vs the X-Men vs the Evil X-Men...<br /><br />Ah yes, I did miss Wolvie and Cap... I love Cap but I'd have to go with Wolvie for that one. Usually when they fight it's close, but I kind of recall Wolvie winning their last battle.<br /><br />HA!!

I like BW more, but Psylocke's telepathy should give her the win.<br /><br />Iron Man beats Magneto. Iron Man managed to create a Magneto-proof suit in the 80's(!), just imagine what he can create now in the 2000's!<br /><br />Thor obliterates Storm... I don't even know why they'd do this battle... Thor is the GOD of Thunder!<br /><br />I'll go Spidey over Iceman. Spidey and his Spidey-sense should be able to halt whatever Bobby throws his way.<br /><br />Rogue over Ms. Marvel. Especially now that Rogue seems to have her powers under control.<br /><br />Luke Cage/Beast could literally go either way, but I'll go with Beast just because I like him more. Strength-wise they match up, but Beast's smarts should give him a slight edge.<br /><br />Hulk/Emma Frost? Really? Unless Emma can knock Hulk out with her first shot(which I doubt), Hulk destroys her, diamond-form or not!<br /><br />Archangel over Daredevil. That one is kind of weird, since I thought Archangel was regular Angel now, but either way, DD would have trouble grounding a flier as experienced as Angel.<br /><br />Spider-Woman takes Gambit. She has him beat in pretty much every way.<br /><br />Jugger-Colossus beats Thing. Jugger-Colo should be stronger than Thing, so I'd give him the nod.<br /><br />*sigh* I don't want to say it, but I'd think Lord Summers would beat Hawkeye... Dammit... <br /><br />So I've got 6 X-Men wins and 5 Avengers wins so far. That's pretty close.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-11184547269994989282012-01-16T16:04:30.139-05:002012-01-16T16:04:30.139-05:00Maybe that we are not going to see any if this VS ...Maybe that we are not going to see any if this VS in the event but, given the teasers in your opinion who wins?<br /><br />http://www.newsarama.com/comics/avengers-vs-xmen-teasers-120109.htmlAliendw700https://www.blogger.com/profile/09167984702531185247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-12039629742698997662012-01-15T22:03:10.421-05:002012-01-15T22:03:10.421-05:00Eh.
