A great little flashback to this time, when I thought that X-Force was the best book Marvel was publishing :).Jabronivillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318218102203693195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-59521244139738719082017-08-21T23:55:28.305-05:002017-08-21T23:55:28.305-05:00// while Xavier is aware of the X-Ternals … he has...<br><i>// while Xavier is aware of the X-Ternals … he has always chalked them up as rumors and/or myths //</i><br /><br />I gotta say that however weak a continuity patch might be it’s more believable if you read it in Patrick Stewart’s voice.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-70516696628836918162017-08-04T16:55:25.218-05:002017-08-04T16:55:25.218-05:00It seems likely that Nicieza, at least, definitely...It seems likely that Nicieza, at least, definitely knew about that Terrax scene. In NEW WARRIORS #1, he brings Terrax back to life from exactly the situation where Byrne left him at the end of that prior story.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-62112857818962029512017-08-04T08:53:44.860-05:002017-08-04T08:53:44.860-05:00The scene where the X-Force retrieve fully bandage...The scene where the X-Force retrieve fully bandaged Grule is fun when juxtaposed with the one in FF #258 where Doom's robots do the same to the other fully bandaged purple fellow Terrax. It's not quite a full-on homage, but with the different approaches to detaching the target from life support systems and discussion on whether or not dropping him would be a problem, I'm not fully convinced the creators weren't actively aware of the previous occasion.<br /><br />Does Deadpool hint at romantic relationship between Vanessa and Tina with his vocal non-approval? With the Northstar developments, Vicki Montesi on DARKHOLD etc. etc., this last year or so seems to be era when Marvel went full-on from lemans to lemanade.Teemunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-59681800790736642982017-08-03T21:57:39.092-05:002017-08-03T21:57:39.092-05:00Having collected D&D stuff since this time (19...Having collected D&D stuff since this time (1993), I knew it wasn't a new edition as 2nd came out in 1989 and 3rd in 2000. However, they did release a Dragon Strike board game & video in 1993, so the ad probably goes hand in hand with that product.Bedfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833301170976646038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-13447053192989609622017-08-03T21:23:16.125-05:002017-08-03T21:23:16.125-05:00"Crule, last seen blown out X-Force's com..."Crule, last seen blown out X-Force's commandeered SHIELD IPAC vehicle by Rictor in issue #14, returns, now wearing a full bodycast and more than willing to sell out his fellow X-Ternals."<br />Actually, he appeared around this time in the final issues of the Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD series and the continuity makes no sense- Bridge is still working for SHIELD in those issues but Crule is walking around.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-11864950836452692682017-08-03T17:22:56.824-05:002017-08-03T17:22:56.824-05:00I tend to consider this cover an iconic image of D...I tend to consider this cover an iconic image of Domino, pretty much exclusively due to the fact that in the MARVEL SUPER HEROES ADVENTURE GAME (released around 1998 or so by TSR as the successor to their original MARVEL SUPER HEROES ROLEPLAYING GAME), this was the picture on her character profile in the X-Men supplement.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.com
