{LIS} U X-Men 30!!!!!

[Garble]

I agree with what everybody's said about #30.

Though, i'm not so sure his letter to Storm really say's he'll be leaving the priesthood.

Now, i'm wondering how Kitty's going to take this news... Remember she's still MIA.

LOL, Drags! We can dream. I think the team needs him more than they know.

Garble, it may not mean that. But I hope it does. I think it does, but then, I'm wanting it to be over, so I could read that into it.

Yeah! Kitty is losing two of her best friends at once. One more permenantly than the other, granted. But still...

Kitty's leaving the team permanently in XM #110, more or less as a result of Peter's death I believe. She's the one who scatters his ashes. Granted, I got this from a post on X-Fan, but the solicitation does say at least that she leaves the team.

Who knows? Maybe she can go join Kurt and they can "find themselves" together!

I'm sad, though. The Excalibur crew has finally been expunged from the X-Men. Wasn't somebody saying that the writers back when Excalibur was cancelled were bitter that they had to fit the Excalibur characters back onto the team?

Exactly. Except the crying part... I was gonna do that in the car when I heard this one song.. about a guy, lost his homie. I was thinking about the comic then. If I knew the artist or song title, I'd post it.. but they never give that info when I want to know it.

Yeah that was me, Rex, and I don't have anything to back that up with. Just some fan speculation that I remember reading something like a year ago. But I think it makes sense.

I need to go down to the comic shop and look for it.

[Fasheem]

Oh...ok...must...stop...laughing...can't...

BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I take one day off (stupid virtual hangover) and look what happens! I *sniff* missed it! You guys are hilarious. Oh. Um, yes. The book. Well, I haven't read it. I spent yesterday checking every gas station in town looking for a copy. While I did find one place that gets Unlimited, they won't get it for another week.

Just some random thoughts on NC/s story in Unlimited 30.

It's not entirely clear to me why he's taking Peter's death so hard. If it had happened ten years ago I wouldn't be wondering so much, because one of the things that drew me to Kurt when I was starting to read was that he was such a passionate guy. He'd get mad as hell and rant and rave, or demonstrate other emotions with just as much gusto. That's one of the things I disliked about the recent characterization. He had lost that passion. Now all of a sudden, its back with a vengeance, which I like, but the reasons for it aren't clear. That dream Kurt had looks really kinda cheerful. Petey looks happy, reunited with his little sister like that. You'd think Kurt would be consoled by such a dream.

It seems that Kurt's kinda following in Petey's footsteps in a sense. When Illyana died, Petey went bonkers and left too, although he took the more extreme route of joining Magneto's side.

Wonder who had to wipe up that drool, Storm or Gambit? Storm probably just handed him a towel and said, "Here wipe that up for me will ya?"
"Shir ting, Stormy--Sacre Bleu!"

Exactly! When I first read that I was wondering why that dream was so bad. I guess it just reminds him that Piotr is not alive with him. I took exception to that 'best friend' line too. They were close, more so in the past than recently, but I didn't think of Petey as his absolute best friend. He is close to all the remaining new X-Men and Kitty. I woud say he was equally close to Wolvie, Storm and Kitty as with Colossus. I thought Storm's reaction was typical of her and made much more sense than Kurt's hissy fit. I dunno.

He does seem to be following in Piotr's footsteps. When I first saw Sinister I thought 'uh-oh, their gonna make him turn bad and be Sinister's lackey.' Uck. That's much worse than joining Magneto, whose views actually make sense, even though his methods don't.

I bet Gambit was happy with that little clean-up job. Bust out the Lysol, Cajun. Ya know, this raises all sorts of questions about Kurt's sleeping habits. Does he drool all the time? Did Cerise and Amanda have a problem with this? I think I sure would. Nothin' like rollin' over face-first into a nice drooly pillow. Yeech. And if this isn't a common occurance, why was he drooling while he dreamt about Piotr? Talk about homo-erotic moments. Maybe that's why he's so upset...

Okay...Rexie asked kinda this same thing over a Whiz World...so I'll say that same thing as over there...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Rex Luscus:
I'm curious about something, though: why did they decide to show Kurt as the one losing his mind over Petey's death? Wasn't it Ororo who was closest to him? She used to call him 'Little Brother' and all that. Yet she was holding up just fine. Why Kurt?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey Rexie! I think that the reason Ororo is fine and Kurt isn't is a buncha things smashed together. First, he was much, much closer to Moira than Storm (IMO) so hers prolly affected him quite a bit, and he kept it to himself...so that built up inside him. Then, he was just about as close to Peter as Ororo, so that would've affected him as much as she. Then, she's quite a bit stronger than him on the emotional front (also, IMO) or at least has a better facade. Plus, she's going to be the pillar for everyone else, I'm sure. If you watch someone IRL die, there's always someone who hides their own feelings to comfort everyone else...and he's in a genereally less stable part of his life..he's really at a crossroads, and he's not sure he's choosing the right way.
