Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue that hits stores May 28, 2008.

I love that Spidey-Nightcrawler-Iceman page.
Shadowcat should be weightless because once the “space-bullet” is initially fired their is no more thrust being used to ACCELERATE the “space-bullet”(God, “space-bullet” is just so utterly stupid). Kitty should be floating in space not stuck to the “floor”.
This is exactly why I have despised Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men; his inability to have a coherent plot with enough credible science to keep me interested.
Doesn’t it seem as though Joss Whedon and his editors have completely forgotten about “Cassandra Nova’s” Mind being transferred to “Armor”? If they don’t address this … God help Joeq (pronounced JOKE)
uh cory, it’s a comic book. Who said a comic book had to be scientifically accurate? Remember Prof X recently took a bullet to the head, and he’s walking around like nothing happened.
Take a deep breath… ahhh, don’t you feel better now?
Let me sub-title that rant (or, indeed EVERY Cory rant thus far) for the Cory-impaired:
“I don’t like Joe Quesada.”
Could you climb down off the cross please? We kind of need the wood…
sorry guys I’m with Corey on this one, Joss Whedon has done bad things with my X-Men AND my Runaways, he’s a bad bad man.
I doubt that Joss Whedon forgot about Armor and Cassandra Nova. Whedon’s pretty good at picking back up plot points seeded in previous installments (I’m talking about Buffy TV series (just finished watching all seven seasons)). As for an incoherent plot, I’ve been able to follow it pretty well with no problems. Everything’s been straight forward as far as I can tell.
As for Runaways, if it actually came out on time I could comment (man I hate when “hollywood” writers can’t make a friggin deadline. Why bother having editors on some of these books? (honestly, don’t solicit before the work is complete with a writer (or artist) who has deadline issues)).
Isn’t scientifically accurate comics kind of an oxymoron?
Man, that cover rocks so much.
the sentry is back ?
