I look forward to reading it in discounted trade... if the reviews are positive enough.

[Alex.]

Who would've guessed that I'd be intrigued by this book. I'll wait for reviews, though.

That stubble is perfection. So many artists struggle with stubble, but this looks really good.

I’ll admit, I don’t know if this is serious or not, but I Lol’d.

Anyway, alternate timelines can always be interesting, I’m just hoping it’s not just Wolverine, because….content drought. If they are putting everything on hold because this is doing something with the line overall, it better be huge.

Not going to lie, I get what he's going with for the clock but it feels..overly pretentious? Maybe it's just me. Its not Miller-levels at least.

So looks like time travel is the plan then?

I agree it doesn't sound right for him. But if i don't mix two writers up, this is the writer who thought it makes sense to randomly reveal Logan is a super passionate surfer and highly philosophical about it for no reason.

Hahaha this must be the darkest time line

Or the best. I'm getting a lottery ticket just in case.

Same writer. Yep, I'm with everyone that thinks it is too pretentious. Wolverine is a very basic guy

He’s really not. Claremont and Larry Hama, Grant Morrison and even Mark Millar (in parts of Old Man Logan and Enemy of the State) wrote him with depth, gravitas and layers. And intelligence!

Unfortunately it’s due to him getting whored out by Marvel and passed around by so many writers that ultimately leads to him being written like a one-dimensional simpleton, or “basic guy” as you put it, at times by lazier or less talented writers.

Bro, how tf is cerebro a time machine? Cmon.

It is. Alot of times Percy's great with the verbiage, but sometimes he swings too hard for poignant and misses.

I'd rather a writer try and miss than just never be artful.

Why not just using Rachel, like Kitty Pryde did in Days of Future Past...?

I'm at least curious enough to find out what's important enough to warrant meddling with time travel.

I have read somewhere the theory that Omega Sentinel has gotten hold of a time machine and is going to try to kill or depower and kill Moira in the past, before Krakoa was created, and Wolverine is going the send his mind to possess his past selves' bodies at different points in time to protect Moira.

I think Hickman hinted (in an interview) that messing with time in that way will interfere with Moira's own mutant power to reset time and provoke unexpected consequences.

EDIT: Think about it; if Omega Sentinel kills Moira without depowering her, that won't just change the timeline from that point onwards, it will reset the past all the way until Moira's birth, and it will be replaced by a new timeline in which Moira has been preparing for Omega Sentinel and Wolverine to come during her whole life... and if Omega Sentinel tries again, the same will happen again.

From Moira's point of view, Omega Sentinel will kill her dozens of times, but from Omega Sentinel and Wolverine's perspective, Moira was waiting for them to come at every point of time and managed to survive every time.

Until Omega Sentinel goes back to before Moira's power manifested, and the stakes of the game suddenly rise to the stratosphere...

Sigh...what's the importance and relevance of time if anyone can roll through it like I drive to Wal-Mart??? Another X-Men story, another raping of the time line. Is originality in existence anywhere throughout this office?

The Ultimates spoke with Galactus about that and Galactus basically answered that there is nothing they can do... apparently, the past is always being rewritten, and all mortals can do is accept it and keep living their lives without thinking about it...

They need bigger sales, bro. So they are doing like the movie

[Askani's Flame]

Why not just using Rachel, like Kitty Pryde did in Days of Future Past...?

Well it was Rachel's idea in DoFP, but to your question: why would they use the mutant telepaths with the most experience in chronal exchange when they can have Jean stand there and make him feel like a man? I get Jean knows him "the best" but she's not as talented as Rachel in this area of tp.
