I read it and liked it too. The end page didn't seem that odd to me. Keep in mind this is set several years after Nemesis at this point in the story.

I found it quite odd, since that character was dead previously.

Not completely dead - remember.

I know exactly what you're referring to, but that would be even more odd in some ways.

But, I'm not comfortable discussing any further, not wanting to spoil anything.

Only mostly dead ... I bet they found Miracle Max!

I just got my copy today. Great book! I really enjoyed it and loved the cliff hanger! HOW COOL!

I was too slow.. and it's sold out everywhere. :(

If you can't find it, I can send you mine. Just let me know.

Just read issue # 2. Great read! I like how this is really setting up events for the film. It will make it all that more enjoyable.

Just picked up issue 2, haven't read it yet though. I'm really, REALLY hoping that some of the characters appearing in the comic, or even other familiar characters (in addition to Nimoy's Spock) make a surprise appearance at the beginning of the film. It would be sweet to have a 'passing of the torch', kind of like they did with "Generations". Only this time, I guess they'd be passing the torch backwards. ;)

Mine is ordered and on it's way!

This sounds interesting. Some one in an earlier post called it a "book'...is it an omnibus or a comic book? I can't seem to read comics..I don't know why. Angela is making me read one for Anomaly (a classic X-Men comic). Maybe I should read this one instead. :D

It's a comic book. People who read comics tend to call them "books" for short sometimes. Most likely after all the issues are out it will get collected into a trade paperback.

The TBP should be out at the end of April.

Looks like April 29th. Which gives you about a week to get it and read it before the movie comes out.

I am an X-Men fanatic; the Chris Claremont run in the late 70's/early 80's is what first turned me on to comics! Which story-arc is she making you read? Dark Phoenix? Days Of Future Past?

If you are having trouble getting into comics, you should try Astonishing X-Men volume 1: Gifted. Not only is the art amazing, but the writer is someone you are already familiar with- Joss Whedon. ;D
