still, that's not enough to get me to DC. i look at the covers & think there goes a ship that sailed w/out me long, long ago.

I love both. I went back and forth as a kid and buy both today. I'm not into Superman or Batman, but I read a good chunk of the DC line. Most of my fav books are DC.

I love both companies, but I love DC characters more, I blame the Superfriends tv show

yeah--despite all the "things change" ra-ra, he's really out of character here. the early solicits & cover for #1 seemed to indicate the presences of Storm, Rogue, & Emma--but these kids & mysterious Cyclops are really isolated. And i HATE precogs' gibberish. How did she really make it that far in life saying things like "fire-stick," i ask you. Plus, how could Cannonball do wrong?

Hahaha.. I'm not sure whether to be curious or scared ****less by this.

Was she evil at some point... or a sister of the cloth.. or is something else entirely being discussed here?

Soooooooo confused... I need Merlose to interpret for me.

I've never read anything with her in it... I just know they have to hold hands to access their powers, right? I thought that was a fun twist. Sooo.. is she French-Canadian, or from outer space.. or are you implying being one is similar to being the other.. haha.
