I've been in contact with MaGnUs, the writer of the Nitpicker column, and he informed me that it will still be around on several different forums, most notably Newsarama's. That said, I took a look at his last column, which was basically a "best of" and found this interesting nit:
"VERSATILE POWERS, HUH?"
COMMENT: I know powers can be stretched for a plot device, but sometimes writers go too far.
TITLE: X-Men: Deadly Genesis.
ISSUE: 2 of 6.
CULPRIT: Ed Brubaker (writer).
NIT-TO-PICK: On page 6, Emma Frost said she sent thought waves to a O*N*E Sentinel pilot through the laser beams of the robot's scanners. PUH-LEE-ZE!!! That's just too far-fetched, no matter how powerful she is, this looks like something from the 60s when Magneto could read minds and astrally project.
NIT-O-METER: This is just too stupid, too lazy, I can't give it less than 8 Bazzars.
Yeah, I noticed that when I was reading it too. Kudos to MaGnUs for pointing it out.
My review of Deadly Genesis in terms of a prequel to Brubaker's first arc on Uncanny will be forthcoming. In the meantime, follow this link to the rest of the column at Newsarama.
