Is that X-23 I see in that cover? 😕

And why does it look as if Emma now has energy powers?

If I didn't know that Cyclops and his wife go hand in hand I would've thought it was Polaris.

Wolverines claws are longer than his forearms!

Well, his claws are supposed to be a foot long.

Logan's only about five foot tall....

Wife? Nah, Emma's not the marrying type.

I'm not completely convinced - Whedon invested a bit of time developing her, it would seem a waste to kill her off. Then again he killed off his lead character before so....

I don't get why people are convinced that a character will die though. All Blindfold said was "Not all of them." will be back.

So long as Emma and Kitty stay on the team I'd be happy, I liked Ellis' Kitty in the past.

Good point...from what I got from that interview Marvel seem to be trying their hardest to isolate the AXM storyline from the rest of the X-Universe. Armour was introduced in AXM and has only made 2-3 appearances in New X-Men as a background character so IMO she'd be the easiest to clean up.(I lie IRRC she had dialogue once.) We've already had Brubaker mess up in his storyline due to lack of communication with the editors. And then came WWH: X-Men which made Ed look like a bigger ass. So I'm guessing the AXM team won't be shaken up too badly after Breakerworld. Scott will probably get his powers back. Emma's psuedo-betrayl might not be acknowledged outside of AXM V1. Colossus, Beast and Kitty should be safe due to the events with the Destiny Diaries and the Messiah Complex in Careys X-Men. And Wolverine is Wolverine.

Question is what reason would one have(Other then death) to stay behind on breakerworld.
Could Armour(Under the influence of Ms. Nova) become the new ruler of Breakerworld?

BTW THe Emma and Kitty dynamic just works...I hope they don't change the team and keep Wolverine in the background.

That's cos.... you're a poohead. vin

For some reason Bianchi's art is a bit polarizing, and I don't particularly get why. It's definitely a bit different from regular comic fare - reminds me more of paintings and frescoes sometimes... but I don't see that as a bad thing.

It's his half tone technique.

Polaris has been a crap character ever since she was created way back in the early days of the xmen.

If anyone could make her interesting it would be Warren Ellis, but I know for a fact that she won't be on the team (seeing as she is in space with Havok)

You're insane. Polaris has been great.

The last thing we need is another timid girl who's afraid to use her powers and lose control.

IMO, his art loses something once color is added. It looks a lot better when it's just in different shades black, white, brown, etc. His Detective Comics' covers are his best work for that reason alone.

EDIT - Though now I think about it, his Green Lantern covers were pretty damn stunning too.

Yeah... because Polaris is certainly no Emma Frost. 🙄
