the_crash_padTwo-for-one special today:
First up, the preview for New Warriors #19. Haven't read it, don't know how spoilery it is.
Fake cut to Comic Book Resources
Next, name dropping in X-Position:
I'll cut the pertinent details so you don't have to trawl through like I did.
1) I really appreciate the X-books being more "unified" than they’ve ever been. It's obvious you guys have put lot of work into this, and it's paying off. However, what about the mutant characters that aren't in your books but in the larger Marvel Universe? Characters like Ricochet, Justice, the little girl from the Runaways, and Franklin freakin' Richards. Are they ever going to show up in San Francisco or acknowledge the fact that they're members of a dying race?
LOWE: We’re glad you’re digging the cohesiveness of the X-Universe. We’ll be upping the ante a bit in 2009. Those of you who only read one book, don’t worry, you’ll still understand what’s going on and be able to enjoy the stories individually. But for those of you who read all the books, you’ll start seeing more and more ties between the books.
As for the characters you talk about, we have plans for one of them to come to San Francisco in early 2009. Keep your ear to the ground!
2) Will we ever see the rest of the depowered mutants that were in the New Warriors? Like, what's up with Jono? First I hear his powers are "near Omega levels," then he only has powers from gadgets received from the new Night Thrasher? What's up with that?
LOWE: For this question we go to Daniel Ketchum. Daniel?
DANIEL KETCHUM: Rather than letting your all-time favorite X-Men fall by the wayside following “House of M” – and by “all-time favorite,” I’m of course talking about Beak, Redneck and Stacy X – Axel Alonso and writer Kevin Grevioux were shrewd enough to realize that there was no way that these characters would let a lack of powers keep them out of the super hero game. Hence, the New Warriors!
But with the New Warriors’ story ending with issue #20, we’ve started considering where these characters would naturally go next. While we haven’t reached any final decisions as to which stories will see the light of day (one of which does address Jono and those “near Omega levels” you mentioned), keep your eyes peeled...you never know when Jubilee might don that yellow raincoat and make her triumphant return!
