Cardinal never really got developed to where I think Fabian wanted to take him, but it was cool having the Turbo suit shared amongst two great characters.<br /><br />That Galactic Guardians is pretty sweet! When I interviewed Bob it was very clear he LOVES the original X-Men line-up, so I'm sure Phoenix was one of his first recruits. Nova too.. how sweet is that!IADWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339648236279349271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-24349328740201167352015-04-29T18:16:55.040-07:002015-04-29T18:16:55.040-07:00-Haven't got there yet...

They dropped hints here and there. But space was definitely not the focus.

Nova is such a dick to Turbo. -Both of them! <br /><br />As for The Galactic Defenders- take out Phoenix and replace with Tamara Devoux, and switch Hyperion with Quasar maybe? Darkhawk?

I also like the fact that unlike everything pretty much at Marvel these days, the team isn't trying to ape a popular brand name(Avengers). Very cool line-up, but it needs Adam Warlock, Quasar, Jack of Hearts and Darkhawk to feel more complete for me.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-55435175794313045302015-04-11T13:15:46.639-07:002015-04-11T13:15:46.639-07:00oh yes my friend the internet changed the world as...oh yes my friend the internet changed the world as we know it in so many ways.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-79800517057239487142015-04-11T12:52:32.085-07:002015-04-11T12:52:32.085-07:00This is museum worthy stuff :) Congrats

The world was much bigger than, but i managed to buy american comics from 1988 to this day, no more "delays" and i´ve read thousands of comics and yeah, the letter column was always a good reading to train my english. I can only imagine what is to have a printed letter on a Marvel comic :) Victor Nunezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14889382253742838960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-87133671386420728842015-04-09T19:38:56.076-07:002015-04-09T19:38:56.076-07:00especially given how pricey new books are while be...especially given how pricey new books are while be so skimpy on dialogue a letter column would at least give you a little more something to read. that's just wrong when you pay $3-4 for something that you can read on the can faster then it takes for you to conclude your business.

I've written a cou[le in my time, but never had any published. Still, even in an age of twitter and facebook, there's no excuse stuff like that can't be included into a new letters column in the back of comics.<br />Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.com
