ANGEL & FAITH #19
MASSIVE #9
ASTONISHING X-MEN #59
UNCANNY AVENGERS #4
UNCANNY X-MEN #2
X-MEN LEGACY #6

Not a bad week. A&F, Massive, and Legacy are the front runners. Uncanny X-Men wasn't too bad but only one issue in there's not enough to go on. I barely remember what happened in Uncanny Avengers last time, so I suppose I'll have to reread it a few times.

ANGEL & FAITH #19
UNWRITTEN #46
UNCANNY X-MEN #2
[whatever variants are in my file]

I feel bad for continually dropping the amount of books I'm getting but at least I'm making up for it by grabbing any variants I'm allowed.

Because the last issue I wrote was around #25... So I've just been buying issues of a book that I don't read anymore. I decided to stop the damage there.

Fair enough. It's had some good stuff since then, check it out at some point. It's not as great as it used to be, though.

Stocky, what do you think of X-Men Legacy? I've been enjoying it more than I had expected to.

Yeah, I quite like it.

The latest reveal and how they tied David's character up with an existing (new'er) X person was quite interesting. It's also just nice to see some character development for Legion. I don't really want to see another story line about Legion losing control. This is far more interesting with him getting control of himself through the prism of a mental prison. It's also just nice to see this concept carry on from something established by Carey or whoever it was. Nice to see some continuity.
The way Spurrier is making the other X.Men seem like blundering idiots is a bit annoying though and Heller's Scottish-come-British voice would be more enjoyable if the character wasn't supposed to be Israeli.
Mostly this is a rather enjoyable book.

Balls! I should have gotten issue one signed by Carey last weekend when I had the chance!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one enjoying this book. I agree that I like how Spurrier is continuing what Carey established previously with Xavier helping Legion create a mental prison for is personalities. What he's been doing in the book now has been enjoyable and I've found it to be the most surprising book out of Marvel NOW! in terms of enjoyment. I've never been a Legion fan, and yes, all of his stories are always him losing control so this is a nice take.

And while we're on it, I haven't read the newest issue, but on speculation, who do you think is this mysterious personality lurking around in Legion's head? I have my own ideas but no one else I know is reading the book so no one else has been able to speculate with me.

I had never thought about the dialogue for Legion. It's interesting you pointing that out now. While I don't remember him ever talking like that any other time, could their 'reasoning' be he picked that up while living on Muir Island?

As am I. I really like the line up for the most part, outside of Psylocke, although his last run on X-Men he used her very well I thought. I actually really enjoyed his run on the title before, and the way he handled the characters was great. I'm looking forward to it quite a bit.

I've not read his Ultimate X-Men since I left the Ultimate books behind years ago, but what X-Men stories of his I have read I've enjoyed.

I liked the work he did on adjectiveless 30-37, with Storm disobeying Cyclops and bring Colossus and Illyana into the mix with the "First Mutant" business. But his work on the end of Generation X made me not happy with him, then again that was some of his first work in comics and he was going off Warren Ellis' write-up. Still not happy he killed Synch.
