So, taking a brief #TeaGame break from deadlines to play a quick round of UNMATCHED by @RestorationGame. Using two characters we have not played yet, possibly the two coolest characters in the game.

Can you guess who they are?

1/
It’s DEADPOOL and BRUCE LEE!

I understand the Bruce set is getting very rare so buy it if you see it!

2/
Neither of these one-character sets comes with a board, so we are using one from the Jurassic Park set #2!

3/
WHO WILL WIN?

4/
The Deadpool cards are ostensibly a deck Wade made himself, and the humor is SPOT-ON.

I know Deadpool, and this is flawless Deadpool.

Also, I think that Scott Summers card might be mocking me.

5/
And the winner?

ME, playing BRUCE LEE!

Guys, UNMATCHED is one of the funnest games out there. Can’t recommend it enough.

Thank you, @RestorationGame!

Okay, I thought it'd be fun to answer a few questions that keep popping up regarding Uncanny X-Men regarding nationality.

We couldn't be happier with the response to issue one. I think people know we put our hearts into this book.

Settle in, this will take a bit. :)

1/ Image
A LOT of people, mostly from countries our new characters come from, asked why I chose to make a superhero who came from their country specifically.

They're not being accusatory, they mostly are delighted, but they are curious as to the process.

There are a couple reasons.

2)
Here are the big two.

Let me explain. :)

I have a mutant hot take.

I hear all the time, and have thought it myself, why does the world fear and hate mutants, but love the scary-looking oddballs in, say, the Fantastic Four?

Here is a thought about that.

1/
The Fantastic Four comes to save you.

You look out, and you see standing around you;
A woman who disappears
A man on fire
A rock-like golen creature
and the ultimate stretchy body horror.

OR.

2/
You look out and see

A great-looking guy with sunglasses
A beautiful woman with a cool fire bird effect
A goddess controlling a storm
A slightly hairy Canadian.

Why are citizens afraid of THIS four, and not the others?

When I was in second grade, our teacher read us, over the course of several days, an adaptation of Cool Hand Luke.

None of us knew anything about prisons, Southern culture, road gangs, prisoner abuse, or crime in general, really. We were seven years old, and enthralled.

1/
I remember, NO ONE missed school after the first day.

It starts with Luke, played by Paul Newman in the movie, getting drunk and busting up parking meters, for no good reason, so your introduction to him, in a child’s’ view, is bad, not revolutionary.

2/
Spoilers, but Luke ends up paying a heavy price for simply not being able to go along with what he is told to do, the falsehoods he is told are true. It is inevitable, even as kids we knew there would be no happy ending.

And we know it was wrong, the escalation. As kids.

One of my favorite moments of the #DeadpoolAndWolverine World Premiere night.

The actual event was loud and flashy, the movie was bombastic. And I’m shy.

After it was over, walking back to my hotel with my beloved hubby…

1/
We saw Chris Claremont (resplendent in his pink jacket) in a quiet spot in a little park across from the huge event facade.

He took a photo, I think, and it might just be my fangirl imagination, but it seemed to me he was contemplating the spectacle and his role in it all…

2/
I didn’t want to interrupt.

So I just said hi, in passing. But he had some musings which I will treasure to have been there to hear.

And he talked a little about Hugh Jackman and the choices they made with the writing and performing of the character.

All right, so this will take a bit, but this is a thread I have wanted to do for a while.

This is it, the X-MEN: FROM THE ASHES mega-thread!

Interested in the upcoming X-books but a little overwhelmed by the new characters, creative teams, and titles?

Well, I had an idea!

1/
In this thread, I am going to give an unapologetic personal opinion about each of the upcoming titles, starting with tomorrow's X-MEN #1.

I admit up front I am biased, okay? These are MY opinions, I have not consulted with the creative or editorial teams.

2/
I have read all the issues of all these books so far. They are all creative teams I like. They are all pushing for the best books they can. And I am on a bit of an X-Men high and don't deny my OBVIOUS enthusiasm.

So bear that in mind. Get it? "Bear!"

I have a @jimlee story. Legendary comics writer John Ostrander needed eye surgery. A couple others and myself went all around SDCC to ask artists for an art donation to raise the funds to literally save not just his eyesight, but his eyes.

1/
It was for John Ostrander. And so I asked legendary artists that normally I would be intimidated just to talk to. We got pieces from Neil Adams, Matt Groening, and lots more.

Again, because it was for John, I worked myself up to ask the giants.

Everyone was lovely.

2/
But it was still intimidating. Asking legends whom I know get asked for stuff ALL THE TIME.

At the time, just as now, Jim was the biggest artist in comics. Not to mention…

…he was also my boss.
