Very nice indeed! Are there any other figures you're thinking of getting to add to your sets?

And just one book isn't bad.

I read all nine issues yesterday. Bunn clearly has a grasp on something I long felt was missing from Marvel - continuity, and he has brought several characters forth that we haven't heard from in a while (to my knowledge.) To me it's literally been the best X-Men story/arc/run since Second Coming, excepting Remember's Uncanny X-Force and specifically the Dark Angel Saga. I remember thinking when I saw the promos that it was such an odd line up for UXM, more like X-Force, but you know what? It works, it's all a great line up but would be better if you removed Fantomex.

So I just wanted say thanks for the recommends. And to tie this into Marvel Legends I really feel we need a Monet now so that we can make this team, she's the only one missing if you count by TB and Hasbro.

Edit: My brain is not as awake as my fingers...typos occur.

Oooh, I'm so glad you're enjoying it, Nash! Doesn't Bunn ebb with genuine affection for these characters? He's also writing the Civil War tie-in and, as many others have pointed out, he's managed to write Storm and Nightcrawler ten times better than Lemire has in ten issues of EXM. In his defence, I don't think Lemire writes a bad Storm by any means, but she doesn't do.. much.

I've been campaigning for a Monet figure since her tenure in X-Factor. The Moonstone body was made for her!

Also, yes, unfortunately Fantomex is in UXM... but that fight in #8 with Betsy was pretty spectacular, right?
