Kitty's (That is Kitty, right?) comment about how she'll never get married because no man can compare to Wolverine is pretty weird.

I've seen/heard daughters make that comment about their fathers before, usually when their father is someone they admire and respect immensely.

I've got the advantage. You've got nothing.
So you're the rebel X-Men, and one of your mutants put the Avengers Attack Team in a timestopper bubble. What do you do?

Magik has a pretty good idea.

Not at all. Kitty sees him as a father figure.
He has been her authority figure since she joined the X-Men at the age of 13.

Sure, in the animated series, there were some episodes in which Wolverine's relationship with Jubilee came off as kinda weird, almost as if the writers couldn't decide whether it was meant to be romantic of paternal.

My favorite part is just Kitty mocking how Beast talks. "Vis a vis, indubitably" indeed.

Anyway, Cable & X-Force #5 has a B-plot with Forge and Dr. Nemesis, who are probably my favorite team-up duo since Rockslide and Anole.



What's the something bigger you ask? A couple scenes later...



Finally, the big reveal as to what they've been working on:

Bendis has been killing it consistently on the X-Books. I don't know what got into him other than that he apparently wanted to write "Scott Summers is a mutant revolutionary and Scott Summers has to stop him" really really bad or something.

Since there's a young Cyclops and what appear to be a young Jean Grey and Hank McCoy I'm guessing some duplicates of the original 5 as the original 5 X-Men are floating around now.

I was burned out on his Avengers work about two years ago. Between his X-Men and the new Powers he's gained back a lot of faith from me.

I'm pretty sure that's Nick Fury's black son, Nick Fury, Jr. They created the character so there'd be a Nick Fury in normal continuity that looked like Samuel L. Jackson so people who've only watched the movies won't be confused. Or as confused, anyway.

It's just his normal costume, but in white and black. That's a very badly drawn angle.

I really can't begrudge them for this. Comic books NEED all the audiences they can get, and if they need to draw in new readers from Avengers, then whatever way they write Sam Jackson into 616 Fury is fine by me.

And to be honest Nick having a son, or 10 sons, seems perfectly reasonable to me. Guy's been sleeping with more women around the world than Quagmire.

I really wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those women were really sleeping with LMDs.

Grimey Drawer
You think he'd be stupid enough to not think of that? If people saw Fury sleeping around all the time and yet no children were born, they'd be able to identify the LMDs. Even worse, they'd accuse him of being impotent in front of his friends and humiliate him! Fury is just the kind of man paranoid enough to "insert" himself in the necessary situations.

They haven't been drawing new readers from any of their movies in the last decade plus, adding in confusing retconned Sam Jackson won't change that fact.
