I guess 😬
Morrison turned the x-men from a superhero team into a bunch of people with powers who just complain all the time, while Whedon brought them back to being superheroes again.
Also, Morrison portrayed Cyclops as being a complete tool, where Whedon turned him into pure awesomeness.

K.
Spoiler:
Crash landing of a Skrull ship. Worldwide tech shutdown of important sh*t due to an "alien virus." Completely f*cks Stark's armor and all weaponry he has stored up. Both Avengers teams end up on scene, then the ship opens and a bunch of copies emerge (see last page for pic). Jarvis is a Skrull, so's Dum Dum Dugan. Hank Pym's a Skrull and he shot Reed into silly putty, loose eyeballs and teeth, and not much else when Reed discovered how the Skrulls had been hiding. A weird phrase they keep repeating ("He Loves You"😉. Basically, the invasion has started. That's about it.

No. Sorry, but it's a legal thing. We can cover ourselves with the respect stuff if a comic company decided to get pissed at KMC, but not with whole issues. It still happens, but anything we see we have to delete.
Cool. Just wondering.

No joke Marvel if they did find out would shut down the board as they have been doing it to several boards/sites lately.
I thought they were closing Torrents sites or asking them to remove their Marvel torrents(Z-cult). Not that I condemned them but they havent stopped everybody. Lucky for those guys that like torrents.

They have done both, depends on how many issues have been posted and what not and this board has posted many issues.

Quick question, should I read anything important before the invasion? Annihiliation for instance is something I haven't gotten around to yet. And were any of the tie-ins good?
I would say the latest Secret War and the first arc on New Avengers. Besides that, only some hints and some revelations here and there, nothing major. I believe there will be a lot of tie-ins for the invasion.

🙄 Some guy went crazy a while back and posted a lot of issues. He's long gone now.
I've never seen that Emma Frost costume before? That's not even her White Queen costume. She never wore pants as the White Queen. It was an alright issue, I can't say I was shocked by any other reveals.
Spoiler:
From the solicits IW was going to be a Skrull, Dum Dum was spoiled a while back along with Pym and Jarvis.
Anyway they better not kill Agent Brand.

Emma's safe. The X-Skrull was revealed last week by Marvels Viral Marketing. It's a clever pick since it is a core X-Men, but it doesn't look like the X-Books will be effected that much since the character they picked has been lying low for the last few years.

The only major effect Annihilation had regarding the Skrulls was their empire being pretty much wiped out, so that'll get mentioned at some point. Other than that, I recommend reading it.
And as for that ship, I'm betting only 3-4 of those heroes are legit.
