Thank you guys for reminding me it's April Fools. I clicked onto the forum and my eyes were immediately assaulted by Doop speak.....not the best thing so early in the morning.
Great work guys and I never knew that (for the most part) the blurb that Doop spoke could be translated.

The Doopspeak article is overlaying the translations directly over the panels (at least on my screen).

yes although I've not been able to fathom a reason why there are translation issues with nation x.
With the Daap appearances in X-Men, we can assume that this is because of either us hearing daap through Polaris (and mis-understanding the language) or that it isn't actually Doop, but have no idea for the short Story in Nation-X

My hypothesis after attempting a translation of Nation X is that the writer made up a new version of Doop speak or simply didn't transliterate the text properly.

I'd didn't realize Doop was homophobic.

Great work.

I have trouble with Doop. My logic tells me that he is an accessory... a purse, in similar fashion to Lockheed... but my heart tells me he is so much more...

I suppose he was an actual member of X-Statix. And speaks (like, actually speaks...). However, he is artificial...

OH, THE CONUNDRUM!
Curses! I've been bludgeoned!

Masterfully done -- I especially love the gorgeous new logo.

Thanks for all the kind words, this was truly a team effort on this one, though I'd like to give a shout out to Monolith for the idea, Ryan and Douglas for the BIG assist on the Doop profile and Tanwer for the image work on the front page and especially the logo.

mind you if this was just day 1 of April, what have we planned for the rest of it?
