…because Mike and Cary are the creators on Secret Invasion: X-Men:
“It’s a huge core cast,” assures the writer. “All the [characters from UNCANNY X-MEN and ASTONISHING X-MEN], all the students [from NEW X-MEN], and some mutants like Iceman and Cannonball who aren’t on any team roster but [will be] at ground zero when this crisis [hits]. The only heavy hitter we won’t get to use is Wolverine because he’s busy elsewhere.
“In ‘Messiah CompleX,’ the X-Men were a tightly-knit team facing a small army,” Carey continues. “Here the X-Men are a small army facing a full-sized invasion force, complete with air support, heavy artillery and some of the dirtiest weapons you could hope never to see.”

I can’t remember… Does Marvel use both names on the cover? Or just the surname? If so, it might look like a solo Nord book where the graphic designer typo’d his first name…

Just last names, I think, or it might not be uniform.

We’re just gonna save some $ and do the credits as “Mikecarynord”

I think that crediting it as “Car(e)y” works, too. It’s very Madonna, Cher, and Oprah.

You just sold me on this book, and I am not getting anything SI related. I love Nord’s stuff.

I’m passing your suggestion along. Anything to piggyback Oprah works for me.

Are they going to win by having Mercury cry at the Skrulls? Because that had to be the best tactic I’ve ever seen an X-person use…
