Alpha Flight dead again?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:21 Torule

8:21

Twyst:

Q: What is going on with Layla Miller?
Peter David: Fan crankiness was monumental, then she vanished during Messiah Complex, and the fans were upset! The one-shot is out, response has been great. Layla will be returning to the series.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:21 Twyst

8:21

Nogs:

Alpha Flight has been dead for awhile Torule. As far as I know they have been replaced with Omega Flight

Friday August 22, 2008 8:21 Nogs

8:22

[Comment From PaxPax: ]

I'm happy Layla is returning!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:22 Pax

8:22

Twyst:

She will return in X-Factor. her return will be wholly unexpected, and at the best possible time. She will be back, i expect a positive response. There has been a hole since she left.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:22 Twyst

8:22

Me too Pax!

any plans for alpha/omega flight?

curious, you'll just have to wait and see!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:23 Nogs

8:23

Twyst:

Q: What made you come back to XFactor
P: Wow, welcome to the XFactor Panel! Andy Schmitt (sp), managed to will a Mantrox (?) limited series

Friday August 22, 2008 8:23 Twyst

8:23

[Comment From ToruleTorule: ]

Thank you, Nogs, for clearing that up. I actually knew there was Omega Flight. :p

Friday August 22, 2008 8:23 Torule

8:23

Nogs:

No problem, Torule!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:23 Nogs

8:24

Strommy:

Mantrox=Madrox, of course. :)

Friday August 22, 2008 8:24 Strommy

8:24

Twyst:

in War Detective, i dont know whose photos he had. Then he asked me, and i said OK!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:24 Twyst

8:24

Twyst:

haha, sorry for the errors!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:24 Twyst

8:24

Nogs:

Twyst is doing an amazing job at this!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:24 Nogs

8:24

Twyst:

Peter: the series was well enough recieved, that we were able to continue. I layed the groundwork for the series, just in case.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:24 Twyst

8:25

Twyst:

Q: Are we going to see some really trippy far out shit in Uncanny
A: Yes!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:25 Twyst

8:25

Strommy:

Agreed, Twyst. Liveblogging from the panel floor is tricky, you're doing great.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:25 Strommy

Alphaflight was a joke, they are dead :( House of M as i remember

[Comment From LiterateknitsLiterateknits: ]

So glad Layla is coming back to X Factor proper, though I do love the Six/Baltar-esque action going on in Madrox's already messed up head.

Something about a story with mildy retarded Nazi super soilders in Argentina, but they avoided that ;)

Q: We have the Skrulls invading NY, invasion of San Fran., are they going to invade Toronto?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:27 Twyst

Q: How is Astonishing different from Uncanny, now that they share the same cast?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:28 Twyst

8:28

[Comment From felipefelipe: ]

Who is going to draw this new Starjammers mini?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:28 felipe

8:28

Twyst:

Matt: Astonishing is an A-list Botique book. It's a broad story

Friday August 22, 2008 8:28 Twyst

8:28

Twyst:

Matt: Uncanny is the hub of the soap opera. Everything that ripped out will originate in Uncanny. It will be much more tied in to everything else.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:28 Twyst

8:29

[Comment From PaxPax: ]

Any hints for Uncanny after their second story arc?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:29 Pax

8:29

Twyst:

Every book has a very discreet identity and slice of what the Marvel U is. Uncanny is the 'Days of Our Lives'. Uncanny can bring in ensamble chars., as many of the 198 as we can cover. Astonishing is self contained.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:29 Twyst

8:30

Twyst:

in Uncanny, XForce will show up (the cast and the regular cast of Uncanny too)

Friday August 22, 2008 8:30 Twyst

8:30

Nogs:

Pax, Twyst is reporting directly from the Con floor, what you are reading ARE your hints

Friday August 22, 2008 8:30 Nogs

8:30

Twyst:

If Astonishing is the XMen movie, Uncanny is the TV show

Friday August 22, 2008 8:30 Twyst

8:31

Twyst:

Q: Are we going to see Uncanny 3x a month?
A; could we be cool with 2? lets stick with 2 for now

Friday August 22, 2008 8:31 Twyst

8:31

[Comment From PaxPax: ]

Ok, cool. :)

Friday August 22, 2008 8:31 Pax

8:32

Twyst:

Q: will there be a return of Sabretooth?
A: He hasnt got a head! He will lead Alpha Flight (laughs)! How many times do we have to kill a character?
(He will show up in Origins, before he was decapitated)

Friday August 22, 2008 8:32 Twyst

8:32

Twyst:

Do you watch Futurama? he will show up with a head in a bell jar ;)

Friday August 22, 2008 8:32 Twyst

8:32

[Comment From ToruleTorule: ]

If Uncanny is the main crossover book, Astonishing is the tie-in? :)

Friday August 22, 2008 8:32 Torule

8:32

Twyst:

We havent seen the plan yet.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:32 Twyst

8:32

Twyst:

Q: When will we find out more about Romulus?
A: Good question!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:32 Twyst

8:33

Twyst:

Wolverine O is leading towards a showdown, with those setting up Wolvie's life. We have learned more about Udok (?) and Wolvie's son.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:33 Twyst

8:33

Twyst:

The next time we see him in a real way? Next year. probably first half.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:33 Twyst

8:34

Twyst:

Q; Wolvie is everywhere! XForce, Avengers. There are lots of him? Or there is one?
A: there was the idea that Danny Rand could lend him a teleportation device!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:34 Twyst

8:34

Twyst:

They are all Skrulls! (laughs)

Friday August 22, 2008 8:34 Twyst

8:34

Twyst:

He will be located in LA with the XMen

Friday August 22, 2008 8:34 Twyst

8:34

Twyst:

He appears lots of places. Origins will take place in LA. XForce takes place in a few days, they take place between Uncanny

Friday August 22, 2008 8:34 Twyst

8:35

[Comment From felipefelipe: ]

I think Astonishing is a more self-contained book and Uncanny is more into continuity... is that correct?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:35 felipe

8:35

Twyst:

MAtt: Bendis time is like Metric time, he lives in deca hours.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:35 Twyst

8:35

Twyst:

Felipe: yes

Friday August 22, 2008 8:35 Twyst

8:35

Nogs:

felipe, I think that about sums it up.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:35 Nogs

8:36

[Comment From felipefelipe: ]

So Wolverine will no longer be part of the Avengers team?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:36 felipe

8:36

Twyst:

Q: can we expect to see Apocolypes in the future?
A: Good question! Last time we saw him, Blood of the Apocalypse. He wont be in XFactor, doesnt look good in trench and slouch hat

Friday August 22, 2008 8:36 Twyst

8:36

Strommy:

Definitely--Ellis has a 24-issue plan set for Astonishing, and once that's over he's done with the book.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:36 Strommy

8:36

Twyst:

Q: Will Kitty and her giant bullet be in War of Kings?
A: No

Friday August 22, 2008 8:36 Twyst

8:37

Strommy:

Felipe--Who knows? Things with the Avengers are a little unstable these days... all depends on the outcome of Secret Invasion.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:37 Strommy

8:37

Twyst:

Q: Started reading with Peter David. When will we see Havok again?
A: Kingbreaker in November.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:37 Twyst

8:37

Twyst:

Then into War of Kings

Friday August 22, 2008 8:37 Twyst

8:37

Strommy:

I really want to create a band just so I can name it "Kitty Pryde and her Giant Bullet" now.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:37 Strommy

8:37

Twyst:

Q: are we ever gonna see Kitty Pride again?
A: there are always flashbacks. 504 starts an arc, Lovelorn, how heartbroken Peter is.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:37 Twyst

8:38

Twyst:

Joss gave her terrific goodbye, to bring her back dishonours it. It was called Gone for a reason.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:38 Twyst

8:39

Twyst:

Q: Legacy is a set plan for Xavier. what is after that?
A: Rogue will show up. Still part of the Xavier arc. Who is to say it isnt going to continue on after that? It is Xavier's arc. He is goingback to his past trying to fix the parts that didnt work, and those he wronged. Going to try and fix what went wrong with her, and Gambit. Mike is going to take it in a different direction after that arc.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:39 Twyst

8:40

Twyst:

Q: Is Rogue going back into regular XMen after Legacy?
A: The minute i can get my hands on her i will! She's great. We'll see. Esp. coming from the south, i want to get away from the "Aw sug'"

Friday August 22, 2008 8:40 Twyst

8:41

[Comment From felipefelipe: ]

Great name for a band!

Friday August 22, 2008 8:41 felipe

8:41

Twyst:

Q: Barber, when people come up to you with future stories, what do you look for?
A: Complicated questions! We talk it out. There are a large group of people involved. The great thing is that the stories are interconnected, the terrible thing is that it is interconnected. If Chris Yost (sp) wanted to use Longshot, they couldnt, because they are used elsewhere. Villains used in book 1 cant be used in 2, continuity issues. We have to think in longer term from when i first came on.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:41 Twyst

8:42

Twyst:

There are parts that arent looked upon fondly by fans, those are the 'slash and burn' eps. We dont want to wreck any characters.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:42 Twyst

8:42

Twyst:

(btw: Omega Flight /Alpha was a joke screen, they are done ;)) But Canadian Wolvie is around :))

Friday August 22, 2008 8:42 Twyst

8:43

[Comment From curiouscurious: ]

did they say "wait and see" on the floor? i've been hearing that alot lately about alpha flight. where better to make a announcement than canada?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:43 curious

8:43

Twyst:

Peter: we are talking about a matter of logistics. if the writer wnats to do soemthing, the editor has to look at 1 - is it a good story, 2 - is it feasable?

Friday August 22, 2008 8:43 Twyst

8:43

Nogs:

curious, I think Twyst just answered your question ;P

Friday August 22, 2008 8:43 Nogs

8:43

Twyst:

they have to know what is going to be going on in 6 mos. Peter would like to see more communication. The editors know, but the writers are throwing darts in the dark.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:43 Twyst

8:44

Twyst:

the writers plot 3-6-9 months in advance, then editors come back and say what will and wont work. They ensure that everything meshes, and works.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:44 Twyst

8:45

Twyst:

Q: so there is no giant plot map up on the wall?
A; Matt: i asked when i came in to Marvel during Civil War, and guy he was talking to had to call him back, he was laughing so hard. peter: have you seen beyond thunderdome? PLAN!? WE HAVE NO PLAN? It's creative anarchy. It's a good thing

Friday August 22, 2008 8:45 Twyst

8:45

Nogs:

It always amazes me how complicated the comic book process is. It's really pretty crazy when you think about it.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:45 Nogs

8:46

Twyst:

The problem becomes for it to be really regimented, 1 person has to be the tyrant. This isnt a positive creative atmosphere. Does Joe sign off oneverything? Yes. There is a huge amount of give and take. It's organic. and healthy. Matt: the first ongoing i had after civil war was Punisher, i suggested killing frank, and bringing in a new character, someone who lost their family in stamford.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:46 Twyst

8:47

Twyst:

Cuz Frank lost his family around Vietnam, that would make him like 65

Friday August 22, 2008 8:47 Twyst

8:47

Twyst:

Matt: it was a serious convo for 4-5 days, Axel (sp) really thought about it. But it didnt have a future.

Friday August 22, 2008 8:47 Twyst

8:48

Strommy:

I never knew that about Fraction's Punisher. That definitely would have been different...

Friday August 22, 2008 8:48 Strommy

8:48

Twyst:

Matt is joking about the horror stories of the industry, says it isnt bad. And was really happy they actually thought about it

Friday August 22, 2008 8:48 Twyst

8:50

Twyst:

Peter: when Layla was created, and existed only for House of M, she would have been a Deus Ex Machina. The idea of bringing her in to XFactor was brought to Schmitt. It made it so it was her debut. I spoke with Brian about what i wanted her to be. Combo of Nostradamus and Wednesday Addams. brain was taken with this notion

Twyst:

Peter: many ys ago, talking about return of Magento, Bob Harris said big fight with Wolvie and Magento. Peter said if i were Magneto, i would rip out his skeleton and be done with him. And people were excited by this! Great visual! They went on and on. I said 'this is the most assinine idea i have every heard! are we going to kill him?' (No! he has healing!) he will be goo! (this is insane!) and then they did it.

Nameless creator was pitching a story that he didnt quite 'have'. He started referring to main character as 'Carlie" (sp) (name of Joe's daughter)

It certainly would have been interesting, felipe

Friday August 22, 2008 8:53 Nogs

Snowbird's still alive and kicking, for one. She was just in the brilliant INCREDIBLE HERCULES.

Those chars, Omega Flight, and possibly something called Alpha Flight. An Alpha Flighter might show up in Xmen. In XInfernus, there is a tie in, for old school fans.

Q: Chris Claymont is great, but he has descimated Exiles. Can you get him to spice it up, cuz it's vomit.
CB: Handled out of Mark's office. For people like you who dont like it, there are many that do enjoy. Send Mark an email or post on Marvel.com You will have to wait and see what direction that goes. Wait and see, there are some twists coming up

Twyst:

Q: LAtely XMen have been killing, when before it wasnt ok, will that continue?
A; there are fewer than 200 left, and the purifiers are killing mutants on site, and blood is being spilled, there arent more coming. this is an act of self defense. their race is in dire straights, it's an order not given lightly

Friday August 22, 2008 9:02 Twyst

Twyst:

the moral and ethical burdens will echo for the next 2 YS. friendships will end. There is nothing cool about kiling the way it is in the X books right now.

Friday August 22, 2008 9:02 Twyst

9:03

Twyst:

You are notmeant to agree this is the right thing to do. I think Scott has crossed the line, and Wolvie thinks he has, and if Wolvie thnks you have done wrong...

Friday August 22, 2008 9:03 Twyst

Twyst:

He takes it on himself, so that other's dont have to. No one knows about XForce, there is a reason it's a secret.

Friday August 22, 2008 9:03 Twyst

9:04

Twyst:

You're not supposed to agree, and you arent the only one who disagrees. In latest Astonishing, Warren Ellis set up a lot of arguments in a convo with Storm and ___ (missed it :S)

Twyst:

Q: the covers (variants) have a lot of killing, i dont get that.
A: but there were the puppy and rainbow variants!

Friday August 22, 2008 9:04 Twyst

9:05

Strommy:

That variant was probably my favorite of the year. Just saying.

Friday August 22, 2008 9:05 Strommy

9:05

Twyst:

You can make an argument the bloody variants have crossed the line. We are balancing the line btwn the real and fictional world. There are people who dont think Punisher doesnt kill enough. If you dont like the bloody ones, dont get those ones. There is a lot of moral ambiguity. Wolvie's convo with X23 -- it's not something we are hiding.

Friday August 22, 2008 9:05 Twyst

9:05

Twyst:

The book asks if the violence is cool. And there is big reconning coming

Q: how does Cyclopse keep XForce a secret from E. Frost?
