In New X-Men were there any stories that you regretted or feel you should have done a better job with?
Crud...I had a second question and I'm having trouble remembering it. Oh well, maybe I'll remember later. By the way UPS delivered my Luna, Past Lies, Skinwalker, Three Strikes, and The Tomb. I'll let you know what I think as soon as I read them.

I think I remembered one of my questions. I may have asked it before, but if I did I don't remember the answer.
Long before he started appearing again in New X-Men, fans suspected that Sean was Laurie's father. As a writer is it frustrating when people figure out things before they happen? Back on NewMutants.net before the Reload, quite a few people seemed to hate David and called him "judgmental." Were you expecting people to have that kind of reaction to David? If I remember correctly, I think you said that in your eyes Laurie may have tried to become an X-Man but would ultimately realize it wasn't for her. Did you envision her as possibly becoming a writer (like in TMI)?

I'm not sure if this has been asked but what is Victors nationality? Where is the name Borkowski from?

Just read N&C's Skinwalker. Loved it. Anyone interested can check out my review on my site.
Great job, N&C. You two need to be put on an ongoing ASAP. I'll post more about it later.

Hey all,
Not much in the way of questions, but here's what we got: Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
She changed to become all metal as a teen. This made her parents, who used to dote on her, freak out. She touches on this in the Hellions mini. Cessily's true form...? No idea what her new base form is. But her mind assumes it's the basic Cessily-but-made-of-metal form. And when she's knocked out, she does tend to revert to that (though she's often soft and puddly and doesn't reform her unstable molecule costume). So her subconscious mind seems to have locked that as her base form. Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
In our original Hellions story, Dallas' grandfather is dying of cancer (poor guy can't buy a health break) and Dallas wishes for a cure. But we cut it because Dallas wasn't a Hellion yet, and both Cessily and Sooraya already had family based wishes, and Kevin had a cure-based one. Quote:
On New X-Men itself? We definitely mishandled the Rahne/Josh thing. By not taking the time to show them talking about anything other than the actual relationship and Rahne's hesitations about it, we wound up making it seem like the physical thing (kissing only) was the only positive. Which made the relationship seem hollow. We show them bond over their pasts and being isolated in New Mutants, and he gives her the wolf powers back, and both of those are strong bonds. But in the New X-Men series we don't reference those enough, and we don't show them talking like two people with a strong bond would. It hollowed out their relationship and made it seem less likely Rahne would do this unwise thing. If I could change how we handled one story, it'd be that. If I could change how we handled the whole series, I'd say we should have stood up to Marvel more. We wanted more villains and to get away from the school and to put a few more adventures into the book. But they wanted to keep it local and have the rivalries be more important than any villains. They may honestly have wanted some of the students to become villains, but they didn't push that, and the end result was a book they later decided had too little action. We lost the job in part because we gave them exactly what they asked for and caved when they didn't want us to change it to something closer to what they ultimately wanted it changed into. Had we stood our ground, maybe we could have stayed on the book. Who knows? Quote:
We figured many would guess it after New Mutants #11, anyway. And those who didn't would just get an extra twist. Quote:
He was very vocal, and expected us to change what we were writing just because he could be very articulate and persuasive. Others mostly saw moments of David being judgemental. And that's what we wrote. David does judge others. However right he is to judge Josh as a bigot for joining the Reavers, he definitely held a grudge. We wrote that as one of David's flaws. We just believed (and still believe) that he was level headed enough to move past that flaw when presented with enough evidence otherwise. Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
And that's everything for today.

We know that Cyclops was given a raw deal, but as a movie, it was very good. Action sequences were great, new characters were great (Beast and Shadowcat), and even though the plot was changed to fit the new form of media, it still worked out well. There were alot of changes from the original comic form, but thats what happens with movies. The plot is simplified to keep the new audience entertained and informed. At least we still have the original comic. Two great forms of a similar story, both different, but both fun. Quote:

Hi Nunzio-
several months ago, Marvel told us in an interview that fans have not seen the last of Dani Moonstar or Jubilee... Seeing as they have been de-powered and have been in limbo for what seems like forever, myself among others have been getting pretty frustrated and worried over lack of news and appearances of our favorite characters. Both females deserve the chance to be brought back into the comics. Even without powers, they are highly skilled heroes. Do you know of or have any plans for either Jubilee or Dani? I would love to see the two of them on a team. Thanks for any help. Kevin

Some Skinwalker comments and questions... I loved Greg's introduction. For a couple of weeks I've been wondering how you two met, but didn't feel like asking as it's a personal question and not about your profession. To be honest, I actually got to "know" Greg through you. I wasn't reading much DC until last year when you and Christina were removed from NXM. Not long after that I recall hearing about your friendship and remembering you mentioning that you and Christina appeared in one of his books (I think No Man's Land). Before that, I wasn't really familiar with him; since then he's become one of my favorite writers. Anyway, back to Skinwalker... Did you learn about the Navajo traditions in college, or is that something that you studied specifically for this story? Was the information about the Great Seal and the female hogan written by you and Christina, or was that by someone else? Was that information in the comics, or added for the trade? I really like the insight into Ann's office. Great way to show her personality without actually "showing" her. I love stuff like that. The scenes between Ann and Charlie's mother were nice. Spoiler tags in case anyone reading this takes an interest in the book and picks it up... SPOILER! Callinan kind of reminds me of Sean Garrison in a way. He started out seeming like a good guy, only to be one of the "villains" in the end. I liked the interaction between him and Ann as they argued about the medicine/witchcraft bundle. I love the way you had Ann figure out the woman he was with was Brian, as well as Brian's reaction. Hurtt really drew that page amazingly. I figured right away that Charlie wasn't the killer, but I never considered the possibility that it was Brian. Likewise I figured out Brian changed skins before getting on the bus, but I wasn't expecting that he was the girl. This is what I meant in my review when I said I'd figure something out, but only part of the picture. Any idea when Once in a Blue Moon 2 will be out? And a question about New X-Men... How exactly is David's last name pronounced? I've always pronounced it "uh lane" (first syllable like "align"). Am I anywhere near close? I wish DC would hurry up and let us know what you and Christina will be doing! If only I hadn't sold my pitchfork, maybe I could get some answers. ![]() Also hope to see some more Oni work from you and Christina in the future. Quote:

You got such a good reaction rom fans in HoM. Seeing Synch. Seeing Jubilee. Seeing Magik. I would love to see you guys write the young version of the Exiles.
Thanks again. I miss Synch SOO much. seeing him and Jubilee in the same book drove me near crazy. |

But what do you mean, every book will have a depowered character except X-Men and New Excalibur? Who is the character in Astonishing X-Men? Quote:
That leads me to a question, how exactly do David's [former] powers work? I thought he absorbed the knowledge and skills of others, so that would be languages, sports skills, anything practiced or learned, right? But then how is it that he can see where people's punches are coming first, or know which way they are going to go while playing basketball? I never quite understood that part...

Ah, I thought up more questions! These ones are about some of the code names of students on Alpha Squadron. How did you come up with the codenames for Indra, Kidogo, and Loa? What do they mean?

I always thought a loa was that flora garland tourists purportedly receive when they land in Hawaii, but it acording to ye olde Internet the Loa are the spirits of the Vodoun religion practiced in Haiti. Also, Mauna Loa is also the name of the largest volcano on the planet, which co-incidentally forms half of the island of Hawaii, so I think that's the what it's in reference to. Kidogo might be a reference to a series of books in which a young elephant (certain that he is the smallest creature on earth), leaves home and journeys over woodlands, rivers, and plains searching for someone even smaller than he is - given his powers it seems plausible How close was I?

I read Three Strikes and loved it. Thought it started out a bit slowly, but that was important to get us to care about the characters. I think I should probably lower my grade of Skinwalker, because as much as I liked it I thought Three Strikes was a lot better. Review's on the site, if you're interested.

I don't know if this was asked before..but honestly i just want to understand some characters.
First i just want to thanks the Creators of New X-men Academy x for making me read comic books again i stop reading for years,I've always loved the new Mutants and their rivals the first team of Hellions [ Empath ( he was so cool really nasty) Roulette, who's dead now , Tarot ...) Second i love the new Background characters like: Jessie ( Preview ) , Hope ( Trance ) or Blindfold this are some of my Fav. I know they don't have spetacular habilities but they work for me. Blindfold ( the girl who looks like Destiny, Mystique's friend) ... well she's a clarevoyant , so how that she dind't saw the M day coming ??? or the bomb in the bus ? or Northstar ??? ... strange. Jessie Vale ( preview ) my fav of all ( that's me ! really )... is she dead ? is Sarah Vale ( Network - another great character with so much to develop ) her sister ?and why hasn't Elixir repowered all the students after the M-Day like he did with Rahne's powers ??? strange... probably i'm making silly questions .. but if you could answear this questions that would be GREAT !!! p.s 1 _ sorry my bad english. p.s 2_ i Know what you're going to write... nah... just kidding

Just found this thread! It's so cool to see your comments, Nunzio! All this talk about your run on New Mutants/Academy X is just making me realize how much I miss it.

Didn't he already explain it in some detail just a few pages back? (I'm sure it was only a bit before what you're quoting Pyro#maniacx) Or was it longer ago than I remember? lol
