No, he was a rather benign henchman.

Deadpool makes a comment about looking like Ryan Reynolds... 5 years before Origins.

Pics or it didn't happen. This is scary. Deadpool can break the fourth wall, right? Maybe he can see the future or whatever, too?

How do you like C&D so far.

It's good.

Also since I'm approachin Astonishing, I might make a separate topic for that where I dissect ever issue and specifically talk about the things I liked.

Wolverine comlaining to Cyclops about being in all the teams is the first (and probably last) Austen joke that made me genuinely laugh.

Then I just felt sad that Wolverine was in all the teams.

Shit that was epic about Gifted part 1

- flashback to PROFESSOR XAVIER IS A JERK
- Emma/Kitty banter
- Logan/Scott banter
- THE WALK

Quotes that were epic

Kitty: "Hi. It's possible that I'm late."
Emma: "Quite so. This, children, is Kitty Pryde who apparantly feels the need to make a grand entrance."
Kitty: "I'm sorry. I was busy remembering to put on all my clothes this morning."
Emma: "So gushingly glad you could join us."

Kitty: "So I'm what -- a P.R. stunt?"
Emma: "Yes, our own poster child. Isn't it sweet? 'The non-threatening Shadowcat'. Or 'Sprite' or 'Ariel' or whatever incredibly unimpressive name you're using nowadays."

Logan: "Time to make nice with the public, eh, Summers?"
Scott: We have to do more than that, Logan. We have to astonish them."
*cue THE WALK*

Pages that were epic

Spoiler:

Also, Kitty has reverted back to her pre-Clairmont days, which is the best thing that ever happened to her, since she was becoming a really boring character.

Shit that was epic about Gifted part 2

- LOCKHEED SAVES THE DAY
- Ending conversation between Kitty and Emma

Pages that were epic

Spoiler:

I'm assuming Avengers: Disassembled is the first step towards House of M?

Oh God, the return of Rob Liefeld's X-Force.

Angry characters with weapons brandished jumping at me on every cover.

In 2005.

Why is Emma focusing on that fat old dude?

Is that Goku on that shirt?

According to The 198 Files, Kitty is one of the most dangerous mutants out there on there on the same level as Wolverine, Emma, Mystique and Sabertooth. Kind of strange.

It's really good, one thing I don't like about the series is how Erik looks, he reminds me of that annoying kid from an average anime
