So we get the teenage girl Wolverine clone, the alternate Earth teenage girl Nightcrawler daughter, the future version teenage girl Spider-Man daughter. Then there's the New Avengers. I don't know anything about Nocturne, though: they don't really explain anything about her powers or anything. She's a cipher (all the better to drag out storylines with, I suppose). It smacks me of "we really wanted to use Nightcrawler, but couldn't..." I get the feeling that Marvel thinks that being cool these days means making younger, hip versions of their characters.

Soem things I already see different. Nocturne is damn cool. That's finally a new character my mind whats to do something with. I wanna read more about her. Dazzler isn't my favourite and sure not with her new hairstyle, but she is a lot better than much I have seen walking around at the X-Men Academy. I am really looking forward to reading this title and I will let you know, whether I agree or not. But alone for seeing more of Nocturne, I hope this book lasts for some time - more than 10 issues.

You say that like it's a BAD thing... “Vibe is a goofy-talking, break-dancing, earth-vibrating himbo”
