>>149148170 (OP)
DO YOU LOVE KAMALA YET!? ISN'T SHE THE MOST IMPORTANT AND BEST CHARACTER EVER!?

statue

>>149148176
Hmm, I don't know. Maybe we need 4 more miniseries.

>trip already fell off
Kill me Pete

>>149148183
You know even at the time I refused to accept Apocalypse as such a big threat that the other heroes of the world couldn't have prevented this universe.

>>149148176
I love Kamala, and I always have. shit like this keeps testing my love for her though.

Oh hi Rogue

>"And I wish I weren't a mutant."
Don't we all?

Didn't the age of apocalypse world super die in remenders xforce

Look, she made the X.

>>149148222
I want to kill fiege

woops

Oh come on

Honestly? I never liked his AoA design.

I like how they trying to feature multiple moments of Kamala's time with the mutants here, but there's so little material that they end up having to feature her time with Young Cyclops in Champions and the previous parts to this event.

We'll return to this in two weeks.

But before we continue, we got another Revelations story. This time around we see the return of both Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo to Marvel with their prelude story to X-Men of Apocalypse, our other AoA anniversary comic.

And now for Spider-Man & Wolverine.

Last time, Logan called for Peter's help to decrypt the Janus Directory, a master database that contains the identities of all double/undercover agents around the world and their various missions. But while browsing through it, Peter saw that his parents was in this database and decided to view the video footage of their last moments before they died...only to see that Logan was there on that same plane and was possibly involved with their deaths.

Uh-oh.

vertical

Oh no Logan, you're not getting away with that excuse.

>>149148289
That’s fucking bullshit, Apocalypse was never anywhere near strong enough to rip Colossus in two. Just recently they had a protracted U2’s brawl before Apoc eventually won. Fuckass cannon fodder alternate timelines

>"The database lists every undercover operative. Except you!"
Wait, so Logan was never in the database the whole time? Can't really call it a "master database" then if it's missing entries important as that.

Oh dude, your jaw.

>>149148374
He kinda looks like Venom here

>>149148368
*protracted h2h brawl

>"I remember a plane. I remember a husband and wife. And I remember it crashing."
Something seems obviously up with this situation, but good fucking luck convincing anyone that you're innocent with an explanation like that.

oh.

And now for Deadpool.

It's the last issue of Deadpool and Legacy #350! Deadpool and Daugthers, LLC located Death Grip's new base and fought off his zombie cultists. Now its time to finish off Death Grip himself once and for all!

Eat an arrow.

>>149148170 (OP)
oh this is gonna be TRASH

>>149148206
>angel is there
he had a bar and was neutral i thought. he didn't hang out with the x-men

>>149148213
>time traveler this week
i thought magneto sent everyone on a mission as soon as bishop joined them

>>149148296
>but she persisted
but it was retarded

>>149148301
kinda stupid because dark beast almost made it to the mkraan crystal and would have had far more interesting and creative goals with it than "HURR DURR MUH POWER".

>>149148234
Blink my beloved
>>149148240
Two whole pages of appearance

Get hit with the father-daughter stab

Get fucked Death Grip.

Since this is the 350th issue, we got bonus stories! First up we got an epilogue to the main story of this issue with Ziglar and Andrea Di Vito returning.

And that's it for Ziglar's time on the title! But he isn't exactly done yet as he has a coda to his run in form of the 3-issue miniseries Wolverines & Deadpools coming up.

Then we got the return of Gerry Duggan and Matteo Lolli with a story introducing a new villain for Wade.

>>149148192
I thought the whole thing was predicated on him coming to power before the age of heroes began

>Wade was the one who hired Kurami
pfff

>>149148201
>I'm a she, they're a them
Is that a thing people do now?

Will she be making more appearances after this? Who knows, only time will tell.

And because it is the 350th issue of Deadpool, here's a cover gallery.

But that's not all! Last but not least we have Sanshiro Kusama and Hikaru Uesugi - the creative team of Deadpool: Samurai! And as you can see by this page, you're meant to read it right to left as if you were reading a manga.

You're actually meant to flip this comic around to read this story, but because you can't flip a digital copy they just pasted the story in the back in reverse order (and didn't do like what DC does with their flipbooks). So to save us all from the headache, I corrected the order.

>>149148201
Non verbal title drop

Eugh, that's got to hurt.

And of course, Sakura Spider is also here.

>>149148206
ToT

And now we wait for Uncanny X-Men.

>>149148566
Duggan's coming back to the comic 100%
Good for me.

>>149148406
>cute bob cut Domino in the cover
>look inside
>no cute bob cut Domino
It's X-over.

>>149148397
Finally
Spider-Flop is dead

>>149148222
I hate this.

>>149148585
>>149148589
So why the fuck did they stop making season 2?

>>149148301
I'm honestly not sure what to make of this series. We're three plus-size issues in and all the actual storytelling involving Legion could have been delivered across a handful pages. Of course Legion's plot is just a vehicle for running through a gallery of classic X-Men sagas, but then Kamala and her emotional arc are just the worst fit for this story.

Why did they try they hardest to make Kamala mutant a thing?

>>149149120
MCU stuff

>>149148609
Asian fetish?

>>149148206
>>149148432
Also what the fuck is Polaris doing there.

Cyclops helped her escape the Breeding Pens, she was kind of batshit crazy, was taken in by the Mutant Underground and that was the alst we saw of her in AoA

>>149148214
Yes but this is set during the original (albeit with many continuity errors because editorial is a joke)

>>149148176
>DO YOU LOVE KAMALA
not anymore

>Kelly & Lanzing
>Brevoort
>MCU synergy
A toxic confluence if ever there was one

>>149148247
>Kamala Khan retconned into the Age of Apocalypse timeline as Disposable Background Fodder

WAY TO TELL ON YOURSELF, X-OFFICE

Remember when she was a Cable-like in Exiles?

>>149148247
That's going to be you yourself very soon, Kamala.

>>149148234
>Blink
i love this OG Night elf

>>149150900
Kinda wish her 616 version got more exposure. I don't think she's done anything of note since joining Selene's miniboss squad in Necrosha. It's been a minute.

>>149150965
her dyke design in 616 sucks

>>149151023
Don't they look essentially the same but with slightly different facial markings?

>>149150965
She got purged of Selene's dark magic and then ended up joining the late Utopia era New Mutants alongside Nate Grey

She may or may not have joined SWORD during the Krakoa era as part of the Teleport team
They never confirmed if that was 616 Blink or AoA Blink who kinda spends all her spare time there in between Exiles runs

>>149151145
616 Blink had short hair when she was introduced in Phalanx Covenant

>>149148170 (OP)
So, is Kamala like miles now in that marvel really wants them to sell and be popular but doesn't actually know what to do with them so they're throwing anything at the wall?

>>149151484
Pretty much... Although given the lack if care and attention paid to her history and character so she can serve as a prop to other characters' stories, I'd liken her current predicament to Cassandra Cain during One Year Later...

>>149148244
Kamala that was never an issue for you. You can grow giant.

>>149151484
Except we already saw and know what works for Kamala: to be a third-rate hero in a third-rate city against third-rate villains, and yet she stays optimistic and determined to help people regardless. Marvel instead wanted to throw her into the Avengers head-first and make her AAA-level, but they can't figure out why everybody has hated her more and more since.

>>149148183
HOLY ICONIC

And we're back! It's the last issue of the Dark Artery arc. The Outliers have been led into the Penumbra, a prison realm for humans who betrayed their mutant family members by Lady Henrietta, who hopes that one of the Outliers (or more specifically, Deathdream) will replace her role as the guardian of this realm. But the X-Men (after finally realizing the kids are gone) have also arrived and are probably not going to let this happen.

But first, we check back on this plotline that we last saw in Issue #12.

>Issue #6 was one month ago and Issue #9-10 was the week after
I thought this series was running in real-time after they introduced Sadurang's promise to return in one year in Issue #1?

>"Starting this month, today, New Orleans will be the country's first mutant friendship city."
yippee

Alright, back to the main plot.

Oh no, Hotoru took the deal.

Wait, she also took Ransom as well?

>Henrietta and Logan have met Before
Why did you never share this with everyone before you went into this place?

Also, that is the dumbest way you can intrepret that message Calico.

>>149148232
>Holocaust-Man can use his real name again
b-b-b-based

Are these really the reasons to why the Outliers were chosen in the first place?

>He has the same symbol as the moon of this realm
Does this mean that Ransom's powers are connected to this realm?

>>149148247
Do you think Sugar Man got his way with her before the conversion?

>>149150833
>Remember when she was a Cable-like in Exiles?
You mean the terrible book where they decided to re-tread Days of Future Past but with Inhumans as the victims and Humans AND Mutants united as their persecutors? lol

>>149151671
I'm tired of characters looking past Logan's many faults or developing a fondness for him precisely because of them. It would be preferable if they just straight up didn't like him and were openly mean to him.

Finally, Man-Thing does SOMETHING.

>"Never come back here. NEVER."
Oh shut up, we will obviously come back to you at some point.

>>149151678
Wait so Jitter can only copy the skills of the deceased?

Okay then, bye Lady Henrietta and prison realm that we will return to in the future.

>The Dog Sentinel was friendly the whole time
Huh?? Cute moment and all, but there's still like a live dog in that thing.

letters

>>149151725
>>149151733
I still have no idea what Calico's power is but I like her a lot.

Next week: X-Men: Hellfire Vigil, X-Men #19, Wolverines & Deadpools #1, Hellverine #8.
And that's it! If you liked these, support your LCS or whatever.

>>149151738
That's nice.

>>149151537
You expect the X-Office to acknowledge anything outside of their own little world and the MCU they want to be a part of?

>>149151773
Honestly looking forward to the Mutina arc. "X-kids meet slasher horror" sounds like fun.

>>149148198
Did rogue have ms marvels powers in Age of Appcalypse?

>>149152002
I doubt these writers know or care

>>149148609
When did ochako get spider powers

>>149152002
No, she had Polaris' powers, but on practice she was still a flying brick like in 616

>>149148397
I thought it was a bold move for Marvel to permanently kill off Spider-Man in a spinoff team book, but I think it was for the best. Peter deserves to rest. It was also a good move putting out fake solicits so nobody caught on, either.

>>149148311
>>149148316
>>149148320
>>149148324
I thought the back up was going to be about Doug Ramsey being evil not this vague crap about AOA 3

>>149149702
Thats not AoA Polaris , that’s a miscolored AoA- Mystique maybe

And if this is supposed to be around Amazing XMen 4 , just before XMen Oemga , then Quicksilver , Exodus , Dazzler are all missing (but Paris and Alison didnt participate in XMen Omega for some reason, or at least they werent shown on-panel)

>>149148524
I have my issues with Ziglar but I liked his Deadpool run. Ellie and Princess are fun, Taskmaster is always a treat, and I wasn't overly annoyed by Wade's dialogue which might as well be a recommendation in the modern era.

>>149152425
I think this ISN’T the OG AoA/MU-295 (that ended anyway with literally mostly everyone — except Blink , William Stryker Jr., Beast , Sugarman , and Weapon-X , who were all in other realities — killed by Dark Celestials who were then contained in their own timeline by 295-Jean-as-Phoenix) but the survivors of this new Kamala-Khan-AoA, since that explains why AoA Forge is still alive again , when he was killed by AoA Sinister , and it was Jeph Loeb himself who wrote that story 30 years ago!

>>149151678
>>149151756
I don't think Shuvahrak's reasons make much sense, Calico's powers are psychic constructs and the horse is most likely one as well, while Jitter's powers only make her the best in one specific thing and nowhere was implied to outright borrowing talents from the dead
Besides, if Jitter were to become the best in something while going up against the best in that thing, how would that work

>>149152922
It's just wallpaper. A backdrop for Kamala and Legion to pose in front of. Doesn't actually matter for the plot.

>>149148206
Who is Iceman sharing a drink with?

>>149151604
I don't really get this. If this was goig to be accurate to New Orleans/Louisiana, the mayor would be ugly and it would be a corrupt shithole.

>>149151763
Awkward-looking Black Girl with Afropuff(s) is a Technology Controller with a dangerous STEM-related Pet because of course she is.

>>149153317
Maybe this now implies she's borrowing the abilities of the best dead person

>>149153605
Morph?

>>149153317
Nothing about it makes sense because the whole thing is just poorly written and feels like Gail is making it up as she goes.

>>149151909
What about this run has made you think it's going to be good?

>>149148368
To be fair, AoA Colossus was killed by Gambit in the original story, so maybe he just hasn't had the power creep 616 Colossus has had over the years. The panel is a callback to Apocalypse's own death scene from the end of AoA, and he's killing the whole team here, so it's not like Colossus jobbed alone.

>>149148538
It was. I think we had the exact same conversation, probably with the exact same anon, a few weeks ago.

>>149151678
>>149151756
I don't see "only" just "may". But it does confirm that she is borrowing knowledge externally.

>>149148201
absolutely retarded

>>149151773
>X-Men: Hellfire Vigil
Lettered preview

Stop trying to make mutiemala happen
It's not going to happen

>>149148301
>We'll return to this in two weeks.
It'll be hilarious if they have Kamala stop the whole House of M situation by using her knowledge of the future to just tell Wanda she's not a mutant, Magneto's not her real dad, and her kids are actually alive.

>>149154533
I could have sworn I just saw a page where Deadpool was ranting about how Krakoa didn't let him through and cure his cancer, and suddenly here he is at the solemn ceremony for it.

>>149154585
>"Oh hey, I remember reading about this. This was all Quicksilver, actually. It's all his fault."

>>149154585
>>149154693
Will she accidentally retcon the terrigen bombs and lose her shapeshifting? I guess that would really force the mutant powers once and for all.

>>149154587
It wasn't really about his cancer, it was about DP wanting to feel included. They told him they couldn't cure cancer (though I'm pretty sure Elixir and others actually can do that), but were fine with letting him visit the island so long as he didn't come there to start shit. Not long after that he was placed on X-Force.

>>149154587
He probably just walked in so he could catch up with his pal Cable and eat free food. I bet Ellie is somewhere.

>>149154533
I only spy three out of five Cuckoos. And is that Jamie Braddock talking to Emma?

Also
>Cable lost his daughter
>neither of his parents show up to her memorial service a year later
Ouch.

>>149154693
>This was all Quicksilver, actually. It's all his fault.
>"Well, and Logan and Emma, for being so enthusiastic and forceful about killing Wanda ASAP."

>>149154735
There's just one more issue after House of M, I assume they're going back to the present after that, and skipping over everything in between.

>>149148170 (OP)
>>149154519
>>149154533
Please for the love of the Abrahamic God, stop trying to cast Kamala Khan as the main character of mutantkind.

>>149154870
>Please for the love of the Abrahamic God, stop trying to cast Kamala Khan as the main character of mutantkind.
>and stop trying to pretend 'mutantkind' is a thing.
Let's get back to it just being mutant villains who are larping as being a separate race.

>>149148206
Hey at least quicksilver is here, tho is is angel dancing with hsi gf.

>>149148495
I wonder what team they're going to throw Ellie after this

>>149155757
Still in Deadpool. At most will be a teamup with the Exceptional team.

>>149154806
I haven’t been reading Cable’s book. Has he talked about Hope much??

>>149156242
No.

>>149148397
>This is for Paul, bub
>Cucklords unite

>>149148397
Wolverine's butt looks weird.

>>149156275
But Wolverine has had a lot of sex.

>>149154519
>>149154533
>special over established X-characters
>dreaming about Krakoa, when she was only there for a couple hours and canonically loved her family and life in jersey
It's like they are determined to make sure neither X-fags nor Kamalafags like this.

>>149148222
Why do they go so far to spit on G. Willow Wilson's good work?

Ziglar's Deadpool wasn't bad. Better than Alyssa Wong's. Just didn't have much to it.

Simone's Uncanny is finding its groove as a weird southern gothic comic (with mutants). Not sure if its the right fit for "Uncanny"

>>149157860
>Uncanny
>strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling way.
If anything, sounds like the meaning of the word was taken too much.

>>149157860
UXM might have gotten good quicker if Brevoort hadn't mandated participation in multiple crossover events within the first year of publication.

>>149157332
Yeah, I’m a Ms. Marvel fan and a big X-Men guy (and Legion is one of my favorites at that) and I’m only reading outta sheer morbid curiosity at this point. At least *one* of the issues had nice art...

>>149155867
ellie is going to have the x-force color scheme at the end of the deadpools and wolverines mini series, plus deadpool is actually going to show up in uncanny around the time theyre
debutting some new psycho yandere mutant >>149151773 so i think they're setting up a new xforce and theyre going to put ellie in it

>>149155867
Ellie’s gonna be in the other deadpool/wolverine comic coming up.

>>149157904
>it would have been good if brevoort didn't ruin it


that's just 90% of the xmen titles for over the past decade

>>149148213
>Don't we all?
Amen

>>149148222
>>149157414
OG wasn't a masterpiece on a planetary scale, and sometimes that's just what you need.

>>149150833
>>149151713
Hey, Mama Khan was neat, granted the run was meh but that was because she was barely the focus, seriously, who the fuck was interested in a Tchalla Cowboy, Chibi Wolvie or that pink literalwho?

>>149148293
Fuck, for a second I thought they would make a nod to how Bruno showed Kamala alters her mass from different a second I thought they would make a nod to how Bruno had shown that she alters her mass from different versions of her multiverse versions of herselft.

>>149148456
This is a nice page

>>149155017
Where ? I cannot see any of them!

they could have just given Kamala a normal solo ongoing and make her a minor side character in the main xmen book, why all this bs

>>149151637
>>149151644
i want hotoru to kiss me

>>149154587
isn't there a thing about how curing deadpool's cancer would make him turn into a big fleshy blob due to not constantly needing to regenerate?

>>149148174
Bunp

>>149148216
is kamala support to be in a trance page? her face makes me think that

>>149148216
ss kamala support to be in a trance here? or am i just projecting based off her face?

>>149157255
that wasn't the point. wolverine=paul, both are short, hairy manlets, who stole a ginger from the protagonist of its respective franchise
