Fingers crossed.

I liked issue 3 even more than the last two (and I really liked the last two). I'm not sure if it's because I'm such mark for Daniel Acuna, Aaron's doing that great of a job, or both, but they've got the hook in so deep that I'm willing to read that Kubert issue at the end.

Anyone else think the fact that this book is coming out more than once a month is a (big?) reason why it's maintained our interest/excitement more than some other "event" books?

Hm. Maybe. It could also be that there aren't 50 tie-ins that drag the story down. I think that's the big issue with Fear Itself (Not counting the immense amount of decompression. 5 issues in and only one Worthy has been defeated? Fuck that), but not with Flashpoint, oddly.

I like that it's coming out at a steady clip, has top-notch art on every issue (Er, and Adam Kubert.), the accessibility of the story and the fact that it's relatively self-contained all sort of form up for a Voltron of awesome.

You've thought this out way too much.

I haven't read #3 yet but the first two issues left me a little underwhelmed. I had hoped the mini might be more about the actual schism rather than the lead up to it but I suppose that was naive (and may be a moot point after 3).

As for post-event, I'd be more inclined to have picked up Uncanny rather than Wolverine+ but with Bachalo on Wolverine+, I'll probably have to check out both. Which I'm giving brownie points to Marvel for as so far the only book to even slightly tempt me from DC is Manapul's Flash.

I checked this thread at lunch. Thinking up porn names for X-Men got me through the afternoon.

I have a very fulfilling job.

If they were honest, they'd change the title to Cyclops Can't Have Nice Things.

Finally got around to reading these. Chris was totally right when he said you don't have to be up on the last however many years to jump in, and more importantly, i'm really digging the Scott/Logan dynamic. In just three issues Aaron's sold me on the friendship and the cracks forming in it.

Plus, it's just fun. It's all the classic X-Men stuff.

I love that the Hellfire kids are using alien stuff to take down the X-Men. The more we can be reminded that it's the Marvel Universe and not the Marvel USA or the Marvel NYC, the better.
