while i do believe, it’s not religiosity that American Virgin provokes in me. it’s my hatred of hypocrites and hypocrisy. a man, ostensibly a man of God, who says he belives with all his heart should not stop believing because something has gone wrong.

losing your fiancee is a horrible thing, one that would in all probability break my own faith (who knows, though; i certainly don’t want to test my theory). but Adam does not have that luxury because Adam believed in God’s plan! he believed in it so much that he went on tours and on television and told the world how much he believed in it and that they all should too. but one thing goes awry, and suddenly God’s plan is no longer kosher. in fact, God may not even have a plan. in fact, there may be no God after all.

i agree. Laura just can’t seem to suspend her disbelief (you know, unless there’s an idiot virgin involved who suddenly doesn’t agree with God’s plan).

Laura is aware of the linguistic complexities involved in doing what Batman claimed to do (a process which he indicates begins and ends off-panel in this book, and not an ongoing language acquisition), which is why Laura finds it so difficult to suspend her disbelief.

Also, Adan, I’m a little fascinated at the level of religiosity American Virgin provokes in you.

“Jubilee dead? I for one say Hooray!” – Big Al

You for one have no soul!

I understand there was a story somewhere where Cade Skywalker was visited by his grandfather Luke in a vision, a la Ben Kenobi visiting Luke. Do either of you guys know where that took place?

Love the reviews as always, especially the image of demonic children charming Laura out of her pants. Couldn’t agree more about Wolverine: Origins. As for Batman’s sign language with the Predators … Well, he’s met them three times before and was welcomed as a member of the clan. IT COULD HAPPEN! :-P

I think I’m the only one who likes “Wolverine Origins.”

Oh, and to Guy:

I enjoyed the hell out of the Clone Wars stuff, cartoony and non-cartoony alike, and I hear that KotOR is amazing as well. I plan to pick up both Legacy and KotOR in tpbs.

Jubilee certainly looked dead, but I hope to Jesus she isn’t. I love that SoCal mallrat with my all my itty bitty heart. She’s the only character I’ve ever even considered writing ‘fan fiction’ for.

But then I remembered I have real stuff to go write.

Yeah, I’m not totally convinced that she’s dead. Unfortunately, finding out the answer would require reading another issue of Wolverine: Origins, and that’s not a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

I thought they saved Jubilee? That was the whole deal with SHIELD? Plus: Joey Q said that Jubilee was getting her powers back and would be a major player in the MU this year.

My bet? She turns out to be Ronin.

Star Wars Legacy has been an unexpectedly good read and almost has me tempted to check out the other Star Wars comics. Almost. Maybe in TPBs or something.

But Legacy rocks!

Is this the “big thing” Quesada said was in store for Jubilee in 2007? Damn, I thought maybe she’d actually be doing something, ya know, relevant to the rest of the MU. Or at least something that required breathing.

And Laura – really? Monster children charm your pants off? Something doesn’t sound quite right there…

jubilee doesn’t even get a heroic death — it’s off-panel and wolverine shows up and finds her with a huge girder (or whatever) embedded in her guts. lame. not that a “noble end” would’ve been much better — either way it just reinforces the feeling that minority characters are expendable. i don’t even get how her death serves the story. she would’ve been better off dying in some “house of m” related aftermath. as it is it’s like how mr.eko survived the hatch blowing up and the, uh, polar bear only to get smacked into the next world by smoke-zilla.
