I believe Mark Millar was the first victim of this with his final run of the Authority.
Or was it Ellis with his censored Hellblazer storyline?

Was the Authority even published under the CCA seal? I can't remember, and I don't have the individual issues.

At the end of Morrisons's "E is for Extinction," not only her memory but her adult faculties appear to be wiped out. She's in a psychic schoolroom. Now, I missed out on X-Men between Morrison and Whedon, but shouldn't we have been told something?
If there is any reality in the X-world, and Whedon is permitted to play things as they would be, Katherine Pryde is going to kill Emma Frost. Good.

Hell, she maybe be as old as 25 if you accept that different characters sometimes seem to age at different rates. We know she's a college graduate and has worked with British Intelligence (that was Pryde & Wisdom, wasn't it?).
A mature 21-year-old probably would not allow herself to be called Kitty except by close friends. She certainly would not allow herself to be called Kitty by Emma Frost. I'd expect Hank to call her Katherine or Kate, the name she used in "Days of Future Past."
Just my opinion.

"Catty" Pryde?

And you're SO right about Kitty and Emma. I fucking LOVED that last moment in the issue, the callback to the Phoenix saga. I love that Whedon shows Emma to be torn over what she's doing, and that he also supplies us with Kitty, a figure we can get behind and say, "Right is right and wrong is wrong." Emma's doing the wrong thing, whatever her reasons may be, and for that she needs to be punished.

That's some really nice stuff right there.

Its good writing....but it'd freak me the hell out if I was Summers. She can read an incoming emotion as well as your mind? Unsettling

You're for damn straight. And that's a nice aspect they play on, the idea that Professor X could be subtly manipulating them all.
At one point, Iceman comes back from vacation and Xavier reveals that Bobby has told his girlfriend about the X-Men. He then proceeds to mindwipe Bobby and his girlfriend of the informaiton.
That's some messed up shit right there.
But for as much stuff as I might like about Ultimate X-Men, I still don't love it.

DennisMM wrote:You dudes want to be scared? I can't find the reference because I don't have the Marvel Masterpieces volumes, but somewhere in the first year of the original book the Professor moped over his love for Jean that he could never share.
Really. Not kidding.

If they really wanted to do something different in the series (say by offing Mary Jane in Ult Spidey, or having Beast/Jean together in Ult X...) then they'd get a lot more respect, and I think people would genuinely have more of a 'this rocks. What happens next?' connection to it.

You mean like killing off one of the original X-Men?
Doc Holliday wrote:I love any storyline that throws Prof X into ambiguity (I loved that throwaway line in X3 - "oh what - you think he's not in your head as well?"). When they do that, his arcs are hard to beat. That is some messed up shit with Iceman.
The Garbage Man wrote:Civil War X-Men?
It was... meh. I didn't particularly care for it; frankly the characters felt a bit off, some of the art is wonky (Paquette's Beast looks horrible IMO), and since I've not followed a lot of the recent X-Books aside from Astonishing there are some moments lost on me.
I've got a wait-and-see attitude on it at this point, the last couple of pages show some promise for an interesting story.
