It feels like a Mary Sue fanfiction thing that's only not that bad because of the restriction that she can't use her psychic powers in crystal form. Well I guess it makes sense to separate her powers from Jean Grey since back in the day she was just a villainous Jean, and Emma's personality lends itself to just straight up harming people more than Jean's does. But it's still kinda stupid and forced.

Dude. She can become a living piece of bling, walk straight through gunfire, and crush your windpipe. That's, like, the greatest thing ever, unlike Jean Grey and Xavier, who are both rendered hilariously useless whenever a psychic-resistant bad guy appears (I swear, every five seconds it's "MY MIIIIIND!" with those losers).

Yeah, its $91 on Amazon.. Saving nearly $20 is totally worth the 2 week wait, but I'm not going to pick it up anytime soon, I just have too much other stuff to get through atm. I'll be sure to grab it if I find out it's going out of print.

She beat Thor by proxy by beating the ever loving **** out of Firelord who'd just gone toe-to-toe with Thor in his series. But competing against Emma Frost is a losing proposition for... like, everyone? She dealt with an anti-mutant mob by giving them all orgasms. How do you top that? And I'm not sure if that was in Grant Morrison's series but I highly suspect it was because Grant Morrison.

God damn it I'm reading Berserk but now I want to reread New X-Men. Why do they both have to be so long.

I'm sure the reason I ordered off that site was because I got the same price and that was a year ago. You probably don't need to worry about ordering it right the **** now... of course I did provide that link to an online browser version. Eh? Eh?



Yes that's exactly what happened. That **** happens a lot. Just deal with it. Companies like their #1 issues and new series names. It's just a thing to boost sales and means nothing. I think that it took off from X-Men, which was a series started in the early 90s apart from Uncanny X-Men because X-Men was hot **** and the speculator boom was in full swing and X-Men was being drawn by Jim Lee who was one of the 90s god artists. You don't even need to know what happened in the issue before. In effect it's an entirely new series.

Yeah, I saw the link, but the pages don't fit on one screen and it's ANNOYING.

Also, thanks for explaining, I don't really mind that I guess, it's just confusing as hell when trying to start a series.

Maybe I just need to reread the series and see the idea implemented, but it really is a random power for a psychic.
