Advance X-Solicits, December 2008
Here we go - Marvel’s X-Men solicits for December 2008. It does not seem like a very exciting month, although I timidly look forward to the Emma vs Storm knockdown in Uncanny X-Men #505. Oddly, there is no mention of Astonishing X-Men.

“WAITING FOR THE END OF THE WORLD,” PART 3
Would you destroy the world, if it was your only chance to save it? No, not this world. A dark, twisted, miserable version of this world–one that shouldn’t even exist. One that won’t exist, if you succeed. That’s the choice Lucas Bishop had to make it–and he’d make it again, in a heartbeat. He’s been captured by X-Force, but it’s all part of the plan. And while Cyclops thinks he’s finally removed the only threat to the Cable and the mutant messiah child out in the timestream, he couldn’t be more wrong. He’s only made it worse.

Pencils & Cover by DENNIS CALERO
Variant Cover by DENNIS CALERO
“The coroner’s men flipped the redheaded corpse over so Dukes and Magnus from Homicide could get a better look at her. ‘Better’ being a relative term in this case, with the claw marks that slashed her face into a featureless, bloody mask and turned her guts into a butcher shop explosion.
“But the tattoo — the simple, encircled ‘X’ above the left shoulder blade — remained intact, and Dukes pointed it out with the toe of his wingtip once Peter the rookie was done heaving up lunch.
“‘See this ink?’ he said. ‘Means she did time at this reform school upstate, run by this shrink, Xavier…’”

what in the world, emma, storm with an audience?! What the heck kind of issue is this?? are they putting on a show
@Anthony - I think it basically means Emma and Storm are going to fight.
@aimeeish - What!!?? I thought they are friends now, or are they still rivals?
@Anthony - Well, they’re on the same team. But they do tend to have rivalry with each other.
oh okay, even though i like storm, i hope emma beats the crap out of her, and finally win, even though storm always wins (cheap creators always have to do this heroic stuff for the weaker people.)
As long as Claremont isn’t writing Storm, Emma has a decent chance of taking her down in a fight (let’s face it, under CC, Storm can take out the Living Frickin’ Tribunal). Though I suspect this will be more of a fiery (windy?) conversation more than anything else.
Jeez I would have thought with the lead time Ellis and Bianci had they’d have been able to go a bit longer without a delay.
Not surprising there’s no Astonishing solicitation considering #27 is now pushed back to October 15. So much for people whining all over the Internet because Uncanny and Astonishing has the same core cast. Seems they did not learn their lesson last time, but fortunately Marvel did. :)
It will be good to see Emma and Storm juke it out. However I agree, it will probably be a heated arguement of some kind.
look what just popped up on Emma’s wikipedia page
“The similarly crystal form of her daughter, Ruby, provides immunity to starvation and aging, indicating that Emma could be immortal while in her diamond form.”
hmm? explain. Who is Ruby? and do we think this theory is plausible?
Ruby is scott and emmas daughter in the future (i think im just saying what i read on comicvine) with ruby skin and optic blasts from that new x factor series. And who the hell knows what emma could do in her form, from what i hear she is immune to most human needs to living
Yep. Some people theorized that, having no need to eat (and being immune to thirst), Emma wouldn’t age in her diamond form. Though reverting back would be a problem since she wouldn’t know if she’d age the time she spent as a diamond instantaneously.
“[on the new generation of X-Men] Our kids were built by Emma and Cyclops, not Xavier. I think they’d have a tough time listening to words of peace and control when they’ve had to fight so hard just to survive. I hope they don’t listen to him [Professor X]; I think they’re better off without him.”
