I am really enjoying this book, although here in Australia I am only up to Issue 5. I would imagine there have been alot more after that. My fav character is of course the guy who can't touch anything, Kevin. He's just so dark and handsome. *DROOLS* Oh, sorry, where was I? Sophia is great too.

I love the way this comic explains it as it goes cos for a new comic X-Men fan like me, it's great!

Cheers,
Mana

P.S. No offence to the artist in Issue 5, but he was no where near as good as the artist in the first four. Geesh! I really hate it when that happens. The characters looked soooooooo bad!

We're up through #7 right now, so don't worry, you're not missing much... 😉

Refreshing up old official threads.

Okay someone needs to explain something to me. New X-Men 27, Since when is it only Emma's Skin that turns to diamond. She's been shattered before and there was no blood then? And how the heck can she be cut by a Vibranium Knife. She has perfectly smooth diamond skin, meaning no pressure points, except for that one flaw on her forehead. How can a knife cut her?
Secondly since when is she useless against a human pinning her down, I thought she gains a strength boost in that form? And finally she can mind-jack TP blockers in Deadly Genesis but when it comes to New X-Men she's absolutely useless?? I liked the issue but this just spoilt it for me.
