This is not about the excalibur group. This is the brand new x-men series where Professor X goes to genoshan to start a new team with the help of Magneto.

Shadow, I think you had him confused with Karima... wink

Shadow_King
no i know she was an omega sentinel but i didnt know aboot shola

Sage Tessa
Does anyone have any quality pictures of Freakshow? confused
...or any of the others, for that matter... wink

Shadow_King
do you read excalibur sage???

Sage Tessa
Not yet, but I plan to start soon...
I do, however, do my darnedest to keep up with all X-related material... wink
Er, X-MEN related... cool

Shadow_King
ohhh ok.

Sage Tessa
I do read the issue summaries over at UXN, if you wanted discuss...

Shadow_King
sure why not.

Sage Tessa
In #5, when the X-Corp building is destroyed, are Sabra, M, Thunderbird III and Lifeguard listed as members of the Mumbai branch?

Shadow_King
i dont think so.

Sage Tessa
I could understand Thunderbird, as he's from India, and Lifeguard's his girlfriend, so she'd probably want to be with him...
I thought however, that both Sabra and M had been established as members of X-Corp Paris... erm

Shadow_King
oh ok.

Sage Tessa
Anyway... big grin
Back to Excalibur, what new threats do you think Dark Beast is going to bring to the island?

Shadow_King
Are you sure its dark beast????

Sage Tessa
Quite...

Shadow_King

Sage Tessa
Small? What the f**k?
Spikes? shocking

Shadow_King
hold on let me check.

Shadow_King
i meant to say. DArk beast is way bigger than the one in excalibur. and his hair is longer, and also....... ok i could be wrong.

Sage Tessa
Proof positive that AOA's Hank "Dark Beast" McCoy will be visiting Genosha shortly...

What "other" pictures? confused

Shadow_King
how can we determine thats dark beast???

Sage Tessa
Beast is now cat-like in appearance, and this fellow identifies himself as "Doc McCoy"

Shadow_King
but the AOA dark beast is way different from this one

Sage Tessa
How?

Shadow_King
well he was abit bigger in AOA and his hair was longer.

Sage Tessa
What from the AOA are you comparing his size too?
What, he couldn't have gotten a haircut?

Shadow_King
well i just think he isnt dark beast but something else. we will just have to see. i think i am wrong.

Sage Tessa
I think I agree... wink

Shadow_King
ok then.

Sage Tessa
...that you're wrong... roll eyes (sarcastic)

Shadow_King
i knew what you meant.

Sage Tessa
Alright... wink
*waits and sees* cool

Shadow_King
yep. cant wait for next week's issue. but i am behind in AX comics.

Sage Tessa

Shadow_King
i cant see the pics after the cover.

Sage Tessa
They're emoticons of the Exc cast...

Shadow_King
oh ok.

Sage Tessa
Like this...
Wicked

Shadow_King
oh ok. i dont need to see those.

Shadow_King
sage i read the issue and guess what i was right and you were wrong. it is not AOA Beast.

Sage Tessa
shocking Who is it?! eek!

Shadow_King
hold on let me grab the comic book........ ok i have it now let me check

*checks*

i will type the whole page

Magneto: There was a man who played that piece at Auschwitz
He worked in the medical section with the nazi geneticist Josef Mengele we children called him Nospheratu.


Ok that is the piece i will type. i could type more in but i am too lazy.

Sage Tessa
Dark Beast is still in the book...
"Nosferatu" is a pale-faced Nazi scientist...
Not a giant, blue-furred sociopath from an alternate dimension...

Shadow_King
what the hell it doesnt make him dark beast.

Sage Tessa
How many giant, blue-furred sociopathic scientists named "McCoy" do you know of?

Shadow_King
WEll maybe he did something to himself and also people use the expression "The Real McCoy" i dunno if that helps my argument i am bad at arguning. But you just cant call him dark beast just because he looks like beast and he is evil.

Sage Tessa
Right, an evil, alternate Beast, that's not Dark Beast at all... wink

Shadow_King
he is not beast ok. just because he looks like beast doesnt make him a beast. he is Doc McCoy.

Shadow_King
and also professor x is gonna rebuild Genosha into REpublic of Genosha and magneto is gonna be in charge.

Shadow_King
yo sage have you read issue 9 yet of excalibur??

Sage Tessa
no2 Not yet...

Shadow_King
it is one great issue... so far my favourite of the series.

platformskater
wat's the buzz with Scarlet Witch? have they made her a member yet, or just supporting cast? if she makes the team, i hope they give her an awesome outfit. lol

Shadow_King
well all she is doing right now in the series is playing dead... and magneto wants professor x.

platformskater
Ah well, I can't wait till she's back in action.

Shadow_King
i hope she does come back alive and is a character in excalibur

platformskater
I hope they give her a cool costume too lol

Shadow_King
it might be the same... i like her now costume...

Shadow_King
i just read the synopsis too issue 11 and guess who is the new member..... its unbelievable.

platformskater
where did u read the synopsis?

Shadow_King
The new member is Angel

on the marvel enterprise site....

Sage Tessa
Could I have the URL please, SK? lookaround

Shadow_King
ok sure.

Sage Tessa
Well? confused

Shadow_King
well what???

pr1983
the link silly...

Shadow_King
oh ya...


to the site or just to the part with the excalibur issue???

pr1983
either... probably the comic...

Shadow_King
ok then

Sage Tessa
Need I repeat myself? sly

Paola
laughing out loud

rougeredmage
thats just wrong the point of excalibur is that its a team of virutal unknowns angel has history and its wrong i dont want him i like it with just charles eric and friends hey i even like unuss

ayjay
i'm kinda behind in the excalibur lineup.....who's in it now??

platformskater
I actually saw this a while ago, but i thought everyone had seen it lol, ah well.

click on this link and scroll down, its a bit after the black and white pic of the professor, or just excalibur 11.

http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/current/showquestion.asp?faq=6&fldAuto=16

Sage Tessa

rougeredmage
i agree that the cast was is getting slightly too too big.. hell i would have a team of just charles and eric that would work for me.. just as long as they didnt have breakfast all the time

ayjay
wo0ow..im REAAAAALLY behind in excalibur...yeh never was into to it as much as the others...i dunno like 80% of the crew....daaang

rougeredmage
question i may have made this up somewehre or i may have just made this up but isnt the marvel universes Calvin Rankin aka the Mimic supposed to be in geosha>? perhaps they might drag him along so he can maKE PIece with xavier for what the onslaught did to him... but thats just my random theory

EXCALIBUR #13 & #14
Written by CHRIS CLAREMONT
Pencils & Cover by AARON LOPRESTI

A "HOUSE OF M" prelude!
Guest-starring DR. STRANGE! Professor Xavier must call in the help of the Sorcerer Supreme to deal with the increasingly dangerous, reality-altering madness of Wanda Maximoff. And perhaps even more dangerous is the grief and desperation of her father, Magneto.

rougeredmage
have you noticed how marvel seems to be dealing with laods of different stuff in for example there are many charcters that are biometricaly opposed and juxta imposed. for example xavier and magneto.. are they realy (" brothers" Kain+ abel?)

i was just thinking if dark beast is going to perminet resident of the book then do you think there is going to be a posssible confrentation between him and Calisto. i am saying this because in saturday night fever 3 there was a a section of retrospect on the part of calisto who reembered the mutant massacre.. and as it has been confirmed in the book that Dark beast is the AOA beast ( from sugermans comments) it is reasonable to predict that callisto will find out that Beast was the cause of the mutant massacre ( for useing unauthorised use of sinisters meathords)


what do you think?

Shadow_King
I have stopped collecting this series.

Sage Tessa
Why is that, SK? confused

Shadow_King
i dunno... why is it gonna start getting good because everytime i drop something it gets so better???

Sage Tessa
Well, it's been building... pile

Claremont loves a good slow burn... shocking

Shadow_King
ya..... but excalibur isnt appealing to me

Sage Tessa
To each his own... wink

platformskater
I wonder if Wanda will go on a Magneto-trip much like Polaris did on her wedding day. If she ever did, I think it could possibly be something like this.......

rougeredmage
well i think the stories going just fine.. i am realy enjopying it them loads its one of the few stories which i am actually buying at the moment. i even feel disenfrancished with exiles..... beak grrrr smile but i realy love the fact that unnus is actualy an antigonist with his group of missfits

stormfront13
platformskater where did you get that pic from??

Sage Tessa
Looks like an edit to me...

Wanda with Magneto's helmet and cape...

Am I right?

stormfront13
yeah i was wondering cause it looks sweet

platformskater
Here's the original pic of Wanda. Trust Sage to know it was an edit, and bonus points for knowing it came from Wanda and Magneto big grin

Sage Tessa
Both very nice... cool

stormfront13
oh cool how do you edit??

platformskater
Here's a pic of good ol' Charlie

Nyssane
Because I luff the Excalibur team, a group picture...

countryfan2004

Shadow_King
