Joe Kelly Interview 2
Subsabre: Hey Joe!
JosephK822: Hello
Subsabre: It's Rahsas, this is my other screenname.
Subsabre: Remember me?
JosephK822: Of course, man.
Subsabre: Is that story arc involving Sabretooth becoming stronger and taking on all the X-Men still going to happen?
JosephK822: I don't think so. Where did you hear about that one?
Subsabre: I think it said it in the latest mania update. Where they show all the previews.
JosephK822: Ah, well, I believe that was the Story Chris was going to do in XM 76, but now I'm doing it.
Subsabre: What's the deal with Shaw and this Wraith guy, are they somehow connected with Shaw's adventure's in Cable?
JosephK822: Nope. New villain. Look for them in XM 77.
Subsabre: Do these events in the current X-Men happen after Cable?
JosephK822: Yes
Subsabre: Is Shaw going to undergo some type of transformation or something?
JosephK822: No, but the Club will.
Subsabre: Oh, interesting. What are the powers of this Wraith guy? Can you explain them or are they still in the works?
JosephK822: he stops time when he shows up. That's all we know about him so far... though I know plenty.
Subsabre: I noticed Reyes using her shield in an offensive manner. Does she have the potential to stretch her shield somewhat like Uniscione can use her exoskeleton?
JosephK822: Maybe...
Subsabre: Is Sam leaving the team for X-Force?
JosephK822: No. I like Sam.
Subsabre: Can you make him more of a cool character instead of that goofy wide eyed teenager that he has become since joining the X-Men?
JosephK822: Um... But he is sort of goofy and Wide-eyed.
Subsabre: It's time he started to become more of an X-Man and shed off the rookie image. He was starting to show some potential in 72.
JosephK822: Good. If he doesn't have a place to start from, he can't grow, right?
Subsabre: He started growing in the New Mutants. He's seen a lot of things, what the X-Men do shouldn't be knew to him. BTW, what was the importance of that paper that Shaw was burning when Wraith intered? It had some weird looking design on it.
JosephK822: It's what he gave him two issues before.
Subsabre: What ever happened to that new character, Facade, that was supposed to appear in UXM 352?
JosephK822: No clue.
Subsabre: Will new villains or new teams be popping up in X-Men soon?
JosephK822: Yup.
Subsabre: How soon?
JosephK822: Soon.
Subsabre: Is the rumor true that Jean will have to fight the Phoenix force?
JosephK822: Hmmm... Maybe.
Subsabre: I thought she was going to become the Phoenix, the whole thing is so confusing.
JosephK822: Hmmm... Maybe.
JosephK822: Stick with it!
Subsabre: Go with the second one, that's what everybody wants.
JosephK822: Okay
Subsabre: Is Japheth (Maggot) going to have a last name?
JosephK822: Eventually... Maybe in 76.
Subsabre: Was it merely coincidental that his name sounded almost like Joseph? Or is there some symbolism there?
JosephK822: Yes. I named him after a kid my wife knows.
Subsabre: Was Maggot originally supposed to be Australian?
JosephK822: Not in my book, but Scott thought so.
JosephK822: Whoops! gotta run. Take care!
Subsabre: Okay, bye, thanks for you time.
JosephK822: Later
