    I see there’s an X-Man up there with just an X on the back of his head so you know what’s up. I like it; also liked Bedlam’s white dyed x’s on the side of his head, also in Counter X. Counter X was...

    He was my favorite character when I was 12 and only had access to some gorgeous pin-up art in DK’s Ultimate Guide to the X-Men. If you’d told me early last year he’d be coming back I’d be thrilled...

    His return is the only moment I’ve really liked in UXM. It’s, uh, not enough, but it’s very nice regardless.

    Never thought Nightcrawler was hot until Alan Davis drew him. (then he is: the hottest, with of course Alan Davis’s finest hair) Also don’t like him with facial hair. (fan of the similar facial...

    No. Almost none of them are qualified! The schools should hire actual teachers.
