Sounds awesome. Does that mean Pete Wisdom is joining?

I absolutely loved his Excalibur run, much of his original creations,
and Ultimate Fantastic Four...but his Counter X stuff was terrible so
I'm not sure how this is going to work out...it could be great or
really, really, bad...you just don't know what you're going to get
with Ellis.

....and I hope he does break Kitty and Colossus up...that's one
relationship that should have been left in the past anyway (and
Colossus too, for that matter).

Normally, I would have agreed. I'm sure no one was shocked that as soon
as Ellis left Excalibur that the next writer (Ben Raab?) broke up Kitty
and Wisdom and started pushing her back toward Colossus. The difference
now is that there was something of a natural growth in the relationship
with Piotr. It makes a big difference.

I have a better question. Can Wolverine "grow" both male and female
reproductive organs and self-duplicate? This is actually what took place in
original "The Ring" novel but not in the movies.

He doesn't have to...he can regenerate from a drop of blood...oh wait,
that's Lobo...oh well, that seems to be the direction his healing
factor is headed in lately.

Breakworld ... Worldbreaker... sound familiar to anyone? Whedon could
have beat Planet Hulk to the punch if he'd finished his run over a year
ago.

Just like Planet Hulk, then?

Particularly right at the end, when one of the Warbound makes the
point that the savior and destroyer could be the same person simply
because the old world was destroyed when the new world was created.
Right before the planet blew up.
