bout f*cking time... the preview i mean... isn't it out next week?

oh, and emma

Spoiler:
totally pwned danger...

Warren Ellis will be a terrific replacement, but why does Joss Whedon have to leave anyway? Not like he's busy with that Wonder Woman film project anymore...
Well, at least this should mean a monthly title, now.

Bianchi on AXM = *moan*.

Ellis on AXM = A huge step down from Whedon, IMO.

Ellis is a FAR superior writer to Wheldon !

well whether he's better or not, whedon has written one of the best x-men series' in years... it'd be tough for anyone to follow that...

If I want anyone to follow Whedon, it's Ellis. His work on Ultimate Fantastic Four convinces me of that.

I thought Emma was quite well-versed in electronics by herself- Mutivac and stuff. But that doesn't automatically means that she was just as adept at robots programming and Kitty must have known Danger's programs specs better.

i just hope scott has an equally as cool scene in the issue...

I'll wait till issue actually comes out to update Emma's RT.

Maybe he is, but I don't think Ellis'd fight AXM very well.

Not saying he won't knock AXM out of the ballpark but I wouldn't say he's the best follow up to Whedon either.

good thinking...

Fantastic Four fits Ellis' writing like a glove. He loves to write crazy, sci fi style things like that. The X-Men are a bit more grounded.

When you think about it, the x-men have spent a lot of time in outer space lately.

Worldbreaker and Shi'ar...

Mate, although his Ultimate Fantastic Four work was ok, his other work has literally cemented himself as one of the greastest writers of all time. I REALLY REALLY recommend the Authority, Global Frequency and Planetary and you'll see what i mean mate. Or just pick up his current T.Bolts run ...

Warren Ellis as one of the greatest writers of all time? Nope, I don't think so.

And you're seriously putting his Thunderbolts run in the same sentence as Planetary? Thunderbolts is mediocre, it doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside Planetary, Authority or Global Frequency.

Brain Bendis and i disagree, and IMO his oppinion counts more than yours, but thats my oppinion !

Ellis is easilly one of the greatest writers of all time. He's been consistently good through out his time in comics, and Black Summer is shaping up to be the next Authority !

Easily one of the greatest writers of all time? No, definetly not.

There are plenty of much better writers out there, living and dead.

Top 10 easilly !

I would say Ellis belongs on a list of the top ten comics writers, pretty easily, if for nothing else than Transmetropolitan. and the greatest comic series of all times NEXTWAVE.
