It was an Astonishing issue, no pun intended, LOL. Pretty good issue, The 2 White Queens got me confused but then again it could be Emmas older sister. While I thought it was degradable for Wolvies character I also thought it was pretty funny. Thanks for the scans.

I just bought Astonishing X-Men 16 today and I've gotta say it was one of the best issues so far. Also has some of the funniest dialogue I have ever read in a comic.
you gotta give it up to wolvie for bringing "Deadwood" dialogue into the mix..awesome...as usual with the X titles im confused as all hell. meaning, in what time frame did this happen? cuz i noticed that there were no sentinels around..or since the on-going has been on hiatus maybe these were issues that were already in the can b4 CW, 198, nimrod with the new xmen, and that re launch with sabretooth joining the team again.. help?
as far as the other white queen im thinking 4 options
1. Perfection is that other pyschic emma met in college and supposedly killed, and she just pulled a Psylocke and placed her consciousness in someone else's body. a younger one at that
2. it could be that wayward stepford cuckoo who Posse'd up with Xorneto, tho she is supposedly dead too(hey it could be she swithced minds with somebody else b4 dying)
3. or maybe emma had a younger, vengeful sister that we didnt know about
4. or since it turns out that the cuckoos are weapon XIV, and its been speculated that they are clones of emma, maybe perfection is a clone too, and she wants to prove that she is better than the original
Weapons XIV ? Is that taken from the New X-men Morisson story about Lamonex, or whatever he's called. The Super Sentinnel who dressed in white and had a French accent ?

yep fantomex is weapon XIII and the robot guy was weapon XV. even on wiki they have a little info, in fact they say that thier origin and link to the program will be explained this october in phoenix:warsong
here's a pic from planet X a machine was trying to kill them, they shut its sentient mind down by ordering it to self destruct..it ID'd them as such.. i used to have the whole ish but luckily this pic was on wiki..whats also important is the fact that it referred to them as verion 1/3/04..so not that i wanna read too much into it but it could mean that there were other failed attempts at making them
warsong wont be and origin like the one they did for wolvie and set it in the past, warsong is likely going to a dramatic revelation of their past... the same shit they did ala Vulcan, and storm(you know, revealing that she's an actual african princess, and she had family afterall, and wasnt the orphan she thought she was)
Nope I remember reading an article...they were talking about how Cyclops still has his visor in the Warsong Previews...Joss then said that these events occur after Warsong...
