Where we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of House of M!
But first: A glimpse of things to come...
Comics in this thread:
>X-Men: Age of Revelation #0
>Giant-Size House of M
>Exceptional X-Men #11
>Deadpool/Wolverine #7
You guys already know who Hellion is, as for the rest:

Finally, Xorn gets to do something.
Oh so NOW the ending of Mystique's miniseries is going to be acknowledged, after they already ignored it twice.
>Magik dies but survives and fully becomes Darkchylde
Doesn't this kinda clash with her solo?
>>149416393 (OP)Oh shit the issue is out
>virus that kills humans and turns the survivors into mutants
Huh, I remember reading a similar plot in an old two-parter from Peter Parker: Spider-Man.
So Doug went and surrounded himself with other power amplifiers after Cortez, including Khora(?!) and what seems to be:
>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Zachary_(Mutant)_(Earth-616)
>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Cynthia_Rossini_(Earth-616)
So the event already establishes that time travel is going to be used in the end to stop Doug (which pretty much we all saw it coming). Of course, what aftermath this event is going to cause (especially with 16 minis) remains to be seen.
Oh, and Schwarzschild is also there because why not.
Could have just placed some WIP art or something here instead of just printing the cover of the issue again.
Tie-in line-up. This doesn't cover the one-shots by the way, only the minis.
Cover to the one-shot that will kick off the event.
And lastly, some character designs.
And now for Giant-Size House of M.
Alright, back to our usual schedule. So, two weeks ago Kamala went through the Age of Apocalypse. Now it's time for her to go through House of M.
>>149416479so Psylocke is just suddenly evil with the rest of Doug's group now? who wrote this shit?
Layla! Okay, so this is House of M #5.
This is already? i thought age of doug was slotted for like spooktuber
And here comes Legion speeding up the events of House of M #6-7.
>>149416630It is still coming October, they shadow dropped the #0 issue to advertise the event.
We were going to reach this moment sooner or later.
Oh well, that was House of M. Time for Decimation.
>>149416433Laurass(i think)
>"But never once did I think -- "Man, I sure wish I wasn't a mutant"."And then you did
>>149148213
>"And we still have no idea what his plan was, kicking of this...Decimation."
Booooo
>"Oh, that's easy. Beast has a time machine."
Spoilers!
We'll return to this in...actually I don't even know at this point since the last special has been delayed twice now.
>>149416493Well, that's one way to drain the swamp, HA!
But before we continue, we got another Revelations story. This time around we see Saladin Ahmed and Martín Cóccolo - the creative team of Wolverine - tell a story of a memory that Logan forgotten but now remembers in House of M #8 (the issue also known for being the origin point for Wolverine: Origin).
>>149416493Kang/Busiek did it better
So this was the prologue to the one-shot Wolverine issue coming before AOR kicks in. Oh well, could have been worse.
And now for Exceptional X-Men.
Last time the team fought off against Sinister and brought home Lockheed (who was for some reason kidnapped by him), and Axo finally met Sophie during the Hellfire Vigil. This time around, we begin a 3-parter where Ewing decides to revisit Ironheart again after writing her short-lived solo and Champions.
Oh dear, that foreshadowing in the first panel.
Holy shit it's Tank - the original one!
>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Tank_(Mutant)_(Earth-616)
Well that fight didn't last long, Tank just went back into the pink circle. Coward.
>Teamiversary
What? It hasn't been a year?
>"We know it hasn't been a year!"
Oh come on, you can't come up with that kind of excuse.
Wew. That became really awkward fast.
>>149416789last panel is why you don't skip leg day
Uh. Riri are you sure it's a good idea to leave that thing there without calling someone to watch it or something?
>>149416672given the company I think it's Kwannon
woops. Should always watch where you're going, even when breaking the fourth wall.
And now for Deadpool/Wolverine.
Last issue, Wade teamed up with Maverick and began planning on how to stop Apocalypse (who is in Stryfe's body (Strypocalypse? Stryfecalypse?)). Meanwhile, Logan (infected with Legacy 2.0) raided a SHIELD bunker and finally retrieved the item that will help Apocalypse to continue with his endgame: Stryfe's helmet!
>>149416573Here for Carol
Oh shit, the helmet was booby-trapped! Quick, give him the snikt!
>he already recovered
Oh well, at least you tried.
>"Collect the mutant DNA that Fury stole from us."
Good idea, we don't want SHIELD to have those.
>>149416836C'mon kitkat, you are acting like it's your first time falllling through the floor.
Well, it was obvious that this was going to be her plan the moment she learned that Legacy 2.0 could be reverse-engineered.
This is Legacy, the third X-Cutioner and the source of Legacy 2.0.
Say something nice about him for his first appearance.
Okay buddy, we know that you're really excited since this is your first appearance, but you have to get back in the vat.
Aw man, his mountain base was actually hiding his giant ship all along!
Next week: Uncanny X-Men #18, Storm #10, Psylocke #9, Phoenix #13, Wolverine #11.
And that's it! If you liked these, support your LCS or whatever.
>>149416423Why is Xorn using Magnetos outfit from when he destroyed Manhattan and put people in death camps?
>>149416968Wasn't that Zorn?
>>149416598How is it possible for him to know Kamala here? This makes no sense.
>>149416399I don't really understand why are you still going. It's kinda pointless nowadays
>>149417041Because he already met her in the previous specials
>>149416587Who tf is regine george
>>149416444>doesn't even bother to show how it happened
>>149417178There are 16 fucking tie-ins. At least one can devote six pages uninterrupted by ads.
>>149416535But where's Magik/darkchylde?
>>149417220My bet is Rogue Storm. The gambit cover implies rogue is dead, I know I know cover always lies, but it would be cool to have phantom Rogue going after God Storm
>>149416598But I remember layla was a loli back then, why is she a hot teen here
>>149416452>>149416453>>149416462>>149416467This story is so fucking shit. The only way this shit would happen would be if somehow the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and all other super genius or super power people that could fix this shit somehow completely did nothing and the writers expect us to swallow this bullshit.
>>149416578Brainwashing from Doug, retard
>>149416715Why do you even need more powers, you already have like a bajillion of them
>>149416452haha beast is basedfacing
>>149417283First X-Men dystopian future storyline?
>>149416715They could be rewriting it in response to the vocal hatred it has gotten and all the chapters selling like shit. They almost certainly pulled that before in the Iman minis.
>>149416718>Kamala Khan understands now what it truly means to be a mutantGod I hate that fucking sentence... especially after this one-shot's reminder that she did in fact grow up in Post-9/11 America...
>>149416704Boooo
This is almost worse than the Marcel Girl one
>>149416517Are we doing '90s pouchcore again?
>>149416793Is Emma projecting the light balls? She can do that now? I don't know why else she'd do that weird pose like she's about to cast a spell on them.
>>149417767Of course... The 30 Years Nostalgia Cycle is the only trick Breevort has in his deck and he's going to keep playing it until Kevin Fiege tells him what the MCU's going to do with X-Men
>>149416578Low iq waifu fag.
>>149416453So Doug put chemicals in the water to turn people into gay frogs?
>>149417283Maybe the virus reached New York and infected the heroes before they could to anything
>>149416501>Eastern SeaboardQuite a lot of land
>>149417066Fuck off most of us like his storytimes
>>149416672It’s Psylocke’s gorgeous ass
>>149418098I'm not talking about storytimes in general, but rather, continuing with the [x] persona, and the obligation to storytime every x-book, as if there was still hype for it. At this point, we can very well go back to the way it used to be before krakoa, because much less people care
>>149416493Flatscan bros………what do we do now?
>>149416493...where's the potomac?
>>149416683>198So is Kamala de-mutantized then?
>>149416493Why didn't Batman do anything?
>>149418204ANOTHER 30 BILLION DOLLARS TO THE SENTINELS.
>>149416517Why not go further back to prevent the fall of Krakoa?
Jesus Christ is that stryfe? They bring him back like every decade he fucking sucks
>>149417371Why the hate? I kind of enjoyed this issue.
>>149417250Are your eyes blind?
This is a 10 year old kid Layla, not a teenager like Kamala in the same panel.
>>149416579So will Kamala go secular and dress skanky in House of M?
Just like Dust did.
>>149418265It's Apocalypse disguised as Stryfe.
>>149416683>Both Whirlwind and Mandrill are part of the remaining mutants
>>149418306This made me laugh. X-men is so stupid and how many times is apocalypse going to do stuff like this? One time he was apocalypse disguised as apocalypse he was disguised as his own self
>>149417954I don't get how you go from "can speak all languages" to mind control. Should have gone with the magical approach desu, and if this is some truenaming kabbalah shit it probably alreadyis.
>>14941829810 year olds don't look like this
Well who even is the big bad guy in X-men this era? I saw some shit where hellion had become a villain and got so pissed. Hasn’t he suffered enough? Is cannonball evil too?
>let's make mutants evil maniacs again
it's tiresome
>>149418435>Well who even is the big bad guy in X-men this era?Tom Brevoort
>>149416643>I'm not a he lol
>>149416892>>149416898Blue Techno-Organic Glob Herman?
>>149418270Kamalafags hate how mutant shit has taken over her story, made her family racist, and sideline her entire supporting cast. Plus every thing she has been through has been treated as small time compared to the "mutant struggle", X-fags hate that the 50th anniversary giant size has nothing to do with the characters that were actually in the book and is being used to prop up kamala. As well her getting more screen time than any of the X-kids. Both sides hate that is the fourth "Kamala learns what it means to be a mutant" book in a row and she somehow still hasn't learned.
>>149416433>literally only appears for one panel and not even showed face, dead and no book followingMagikbros...it's over
>>149416892He's a big guy
>>149418429Dude, that’s a 10 year old.
Hell, just look at the Gwen Tennyson threads on /co/
>>149418510One thing that really makes me wonder is how every Ms Marvel character is somehow tied to X-Men
Proto-Ms Marvel - Jean Grey, aka Marvel Girl. Not quite Ms Marvel, but if not for Carol and Phoenix thing, who knows if she wouldn't become Ms Marvel or Marvel Woman, just like Sue Richards because Invisible Woman instead of Girl.
Original Ms Marvel (Carol Danvers) - written by Claremont for a time, and introduced Deathbird, Mystique, had Rogue steal her powers, and fight Sabretooth. Became Binary and joined the Starjammers. Then big fucking nothing, a stint in Avengers, and again becomes connected to X-Men due to Kelly Thompson (Rogue fangirl) taking over writing duties - basically every issue featured some X-Men character, or a character from X-Men lore.
Second Ms Marvel (aka Photon / Spectrum) - Monica Rambeau. This one didn't have much to do with X-Men (except Nextwave), for like forever, until some writer decided to hint that she might have been actually a mutant all this time - hopefully, they won't follow it, albeit the MCU also hints a little about it as well.
Final Ms Marvel - Kamala Khan, introduced as Inhuman during the dark age of Fox-Men, member of almost every Marvel team, currently retconned into a mutant, and joined the X-Men. Something of a female Miles Morales, only unlike Miles, actually liked by some, even if she peaked during her first volume and never recovered afterwards
Still, what it is about the Ms Marvel mantle that it always eventually gets connected to the X-men world?
>>149416707>his core personality>core>personalitylisten I know we're talking about a character who is pretty much the poster boy of terrible 80s pop psychology interpretations of mental illness, but would it kill them to use some terminology that's not two decades out of date??
>>149418653It's "Ms. Marvel visits all of the big X-Men events" why would you expect anything but the sloppiest of writing?
>>149416801>they're teenagers. you absolutely will have the same argument with them ten times overfinally, a comic written by someone who understands what teenagers act like in real life
>>149416707I really don't like how Kamala being a superhero fan is being used as an excuse for her to encyclopedia knowledge of everything every hero has done. That shit doesn't make sense. At least in the case of gwenpool it is written down in comics. Here it would require hundreds of hours stalker like research that probably wouldn't even be public record.
>>149418435Don't worry, he was pretending to be evil
>>149418674Because I'm hazardously optimistic??
>>149418717good choice of words - it is indeed hazardous to be optimistic
>>149418636When did Monica go by Ms Marvel? I thought she went straight for Captain
>>149416452>Juggernaut left the team after Magik's deathI don't understand why they're so reticent about saying they're fucking it's so goddamn obvious
>>149418636Monica was never Ms Marvel.
The Ben Grimm supporting character Sharon Ventura was.
And she has nothing to do with mutants.
>>149418785>>149418841hmmm yeah, you're right, my bad
>>149418689In this specific case it actually works since Young Cyclops must have told her about that Beast traveled back in time
Unfortunately this creates an even bigger plot hole since L&K already established that the O5 for some reason remember their adventures as the Young O5 back then, which in turn means that they all should actually be aware of the fact that Beast is going to create a time machine around this time
>>149416452This team is so ass
>>149416493Something something about Trump
>>149416546Scott got buff

🔍
>>149418689>The moment Kamala joined both the Avengers and X-men she made a beeline to their databases and autistic downloaded EVERYTHING>All so she could write shitty ass slash fics
>>149418689it's simple, Kamala has been flanderised to death and back, and the fun parts of her early stories are gone now as hack writers keep making her worse and worse.
>>149416557Is this a What If?
>>1494184291. She's 11.
2. Yes they do, actually. There are a whole lot of reasons you think they do but the tweens is when girls start developing secondary characteristics. An 11 year old needing a training bra isn't even a particularly late bloomer.
>>149416643Is it wrong if I laughed?
>>149417767Is Glob Herman, motherfucker is just a slime, he needs all the pouches he can get to be useful in a fight
>>149416695Kamala, that's hella insensitive from you considering what just happened.
>>149419103He now have the power of both the punch dimension and normal punches
>>149416779He is a big guy
>>149416825Holy shit Riri is such a fucking retard
>>149416892What's his power? Spreading mutant aids?
>>149419646They explain it on the page, he's the source of the new Legacy Virus that Apocalypse is using to control Wolverine
>>149416517So Icarus us on the team but who's that next to him?
>>149416707>Warns them about this shit but not the Purifiers.
>>149416613These are the only characters Marvel really cares about for the most part. So much so that they're constantly/detractingly reinvented or retconned with disdain for creator canon. Can you name everyone here?
>>149416718I HATE TOM BREVOORT AND I HOPE THAT SOMEONE 3:16 HIS ASS SO HARD THAT HE NEVER WRITES OR WORKS IN THE COMIC INDUSTRY EVER AGAIN
>>149416517Oh, one of the heroes grew a beard. This is definitely a bad future timeline now.
>>149416453>humans were triple vaxxed and boosted into mutated beingsuhh based?

>>149420348Magik resurrected as a little girl?
>>149420355Surprised Kelly is writing this
So this is upending ASM as well then?
>>149420349It’s fucking insane. Every future they have goes to shit apparently, what point is it for them to exist and what’s the point following them? Either break them up and disband or kill them all one by one.
>>149420686I’m not saying to stop reading X-men btw it’s just what point is there if the future goes to shit when in there present it’s the shits for them. Are they the real villains?
>>149420433Doubt it, ASM sells too well for them to consider it
>Brevoort pushing more uninteresting titles
>>149420339>Black Cat turned into a white furryThat's funny desu
>>149420349I can't even think of bad futures centered around other hero teams
>>149421299The only one I can think of is one or two from the original Avengers Forever, and that one were Ultron takes over the World, that gets taken over by Doombot in Ultron Forever but that's that kinda about it unless we start adding stuff like 2099
>>149421299there's the one with maestro but x-men have a monopoly on bad futures
>>149420349They had that one universe from that one shot a few years ago where cyclops was president and everyone was happy living good, even Wolverine was happy. But Jean or Phoenix wiped it all away I guess simply because everyone loved and was enjoying there life.
>>149421447Man Phoenix is such a cunt
>>149421426How many bad timelines/futures are the mutants involved or responsible for:
>AoA>AoR>AoX>DoFP>House of M>Marvel Zombies (If you count Magneto being responsible for the virus)
>>149421400>>149421426There's also the one where the Squadron Supreme are the only superheroes and everyone adores Mephisto
>>149421426I think there was one in IH where Hulk becomes the Galactus of the universe that comes after the main one ends and the universe is barren because anything can't grow properly.
>>149421693Sins of Sinister
All of the timelines where Moira dies
Here Comes Tomorrow
Bishop's future
>>149416467So why is it when they have a bunch of generic mutants they have a bunch that are blatantly not identical to baseline humans, but then most actual books just have one token person that can't pass?
>>149421693>>149421796Wasn't there a bad timeline related to the O5 being brought forward in time? Didn't future X-Men come backward in time around then and warn about some shit or another?
>>149421860Bendis teased something with it
>>149421796It would be fun if the rest of Marvel start doing future timelines too but they are all good. I can think of Hickman FF when he showed the Thing future life
>>149421956It was Aaron's deal, Bendis deflated it by revealing everything bad about it was just a ruse put on by Mystique's kids who were written out of existence so now it's a dead timeline.
>>149421984Bendis can be such a pitty cunt sometimes
>>149421299Didn't the Avengers have the first one sort of? Although that was thousands of years in the future.
>>149416517Did Beast's new waifu suddenly grow huge tits?
>>149416541Hey, Kwannon is in the leotard!

>>149416393 (OP)I don't know how to feel about this. I do not like the way Doug has changed from when I knew him on the New Mutants team back in the '80s. Now basically he's the face of evil and fascism. I'm not familiar with the alternate/future timelines because I skipped a lot of stuff back in the '90s, but is this the timeline where Cyclops only has one eye due to a fight with Wolverine, who seems to still have both hands at the moment?
>>149426764No, that was an alternate present, not an alternate future.
please god just let the uncanny xmen be safe
>>149416437C'mon cyke, you eat psychic pussy for breakfast.
>>149426764This is a brand new alternate future.
>>149416437DOUG IS THE KWISATZ HADERACH!
I think if it was just a Ms. Marvel book/mini focused on Kamala learning more about the X-men's history as she time traveled to key moments while also stopping a threat that's trying to change history like Legion instead of making a Giant X-men series advertising how Kamala was gonna be retconned as a major X-men character for these key events, then the reception would be better. As it is, id say the Dark Phoenix issue is what really deflated all of this, the Krakoa one you could get away with that the changes Kamala did wouldn't cause that much discrepancy but not only has there been even more changes that'd be hard to reconcile without just admitting that these changes wont actually have an effect in the present time, having Kamala's mutant powers be strong enough to contain the Phoenix force have put off even more people from this series.
>>149427129Which is why he is vulnerable. Being talked do is a different kind of mental attack than psychic.
Someone told me all the X-men died and got revived with some type of clones or some shit in Hickman run?
>>149416437Shit like this makes me think these are clones because the original cyclops has trapped the void and been trained to deal with these types of stuff since he was in sinister orphanage.
>>149426922>>149427206Ah...well, I guess they had to create one to hopefully make an interesting storyline.
>>149427387Yeah, this is like...what? Psionics? Doug's mutant ability probably communicates BEYOND the psychic level. He became a master fighter just by decyphering body language one time.
>>149426764Different alternate reality. That was Age of Apocalypse.
I'll spoon feed ya .
Age of Apocalypse (1995) is a nightmare present that spins out of Legion Quest, where Legion goes back in time and accidentally kills Professor X, and with the absence of the X-Men, Apocalypse takes over America.
The 2nd event is Age of X in 2011 is a nightmare version of Utopia area X-Men and Civil War, where Jean loses her powers and blows up a town, mutants are hunted and now live in a single fortress as they fight off waves of human aggressors led by the Avengers
Age of X-Man (2019) as the X-Men are being killed off throughout X-Men Disassembled X-Man, Nate Gray transports all the mutants to a Utopian alternate reality that looks like the 1950's, this story immediately precedes the Krakoa era
The Age of stories are filler arcs designed around making new costumes for everyone and promoting lesser used X-Men. AOA boosted Blink, who was killed off a year earlier and Sunspot and Iceman with major league power upgrades
AoX, Pixie, Tempo and Frenzy were brought up to C-Listers and gave us the protagonist heroic version of Legion
AoX-man was about reintroducing the readers to the real Jean Grey, who just came back to life and her dynamic with the rest of the team in a story without Wolverine and Cyclops, but Nature Girl was promoted from background character to c-lister who get featured regularly to this day.
>>149423380The early 90s designs are eternal, anon. He's got his first ever toy this year, which uses his original costume, so it makes sense to go back to that for recognizability reasons over a more generic look that only lasted a few months.
>>149423766Fixing Bishop deserved more effort than it got, like a retcon that it was all an AU version of him or something. But Bishop at least seemed to have writers and editors largely on the same page of "don't mention any of what he did again unless you REALLY need to". And fixing a character needs that even more than the initial fix story being good. Everyone needs to agree to shut up about what happened and not pick at the wound.
>>149427580>The 2nd event is Age of X in 2011 is a nightmare version of Utopia area X-Men and Civil WarIt's worth mentioning this one had a twist where it wasn't exactly what it seemed to be.
>Age of X-Man (2019) as the X-Men are being killed off throughout X-Men Disassembled X-Man, Nate Gray transports all the mutants to a Utopian alternate reality>UtopianAnon, no. It was a nightmare reality where love, sex and even family were all outlawed, there were actual Thought Police, and all memory of the existence of 'criminals' was erased from the minds of everyone else. Some X-Men fans were so insane they proclaimed this "a Utopia" just because it was all mutants and no humans.
There was also Ages of Apocalypse in 2000, following directly on from Apocalypse: The Twelve in 1999, where Apocalypse tries to recreate reality in his image, and we get several different iterations of AUs over 5 issues.
>The Age of stories are filler arcs designed around making new costumes for everyone and promoting lesser used X-Men.That's not entirely true, most of them are sold as big events, not filler arcs, and coasting off the popularity of the original event. And keep in mind Blink's popularity boost wasn't something Marvel tried to capitalize on until years later. Original AoA was just shaking things up by giving different characters some focus, not to use it to elevate them afterwards. IIRC Pixie had already been in Fraction's UXM before Age of X, and Jean had been back for a year in X-Men Red before Age of X-Man, and her role in that event was just Marvel trolling readers.
>>149427580AoA was like the X-Men version of Flashpoint.
>>149420292Fuck yeah Carol('s energy clone daughter)

19 gazillion books and none of them will feature Firestar in them. Life sucia!
>>149430022Firestar will be executed in Book of Revelation
>>149427262The worst thing about the comic is that the plot of a self hating mutant getting thrown into all major mutants events and slowly accepting who they are can be very good but they had to use the concept for their Kamala mutant retcon
>>149429989Eh I see it basically just like Bruce/Hulk dynamic, at the core they might be basically the same person but are of a different personality or an aspect. Probably later on Darkchild is gonna be like Illyana albeit more murderous.

>>149430394It's supposed to be Scott's strike force from House of M. They only saved three women from the Red Guard -- Rogue, Mystique, and Jessica Drew -- but the hair doesn't match and no one is blue.

>>149430366Yeah , this was stealth under-the-radar confirmed in I vs X when Cyclops saw the personal memories of Magneto which were absorbed by the Inhuman/Nuhuman known as Mosaic when he possessed Magneto , MAGNETO REMEMBERS BEING IN PLANET X , and of course there’s Bendis further development of his stealth retcon when he revealed to Matthew Malloy that he paralyzed Charles (New XMen 146)
I don't understand Xorn. Or Magneto. Where does current Mags sit? Is he still a mutant supremacist, but toned down, and all the other mutants have become radicalized enough to match him and find him now safe to be around, or has he chilled WAY out, realizing his way wouldn't be sustainable for peace, and isn't an asshole anymore? And Xorn...same thing, different face, or is his entire personality different? I could swear once I saw Xorn and Magneto in the same run, which is why Xorn being Magneto (I missed a TON of issues, especially the retardation and bad art of the Krakoa era) is messing with me.

>>149432817It could be a random mountain
>>149432492More like she convinced Mother Earth to kill the humans, seeing as how in Immortal Thor, she's working with her utgard-bretheren to fuck everything up,

>>149432868She was a mystery box with no sole creator. The guy who defined her first adult years the most wrapped up her subplot which is as good as it could get.
>>149432892What are you hoping for sir? The books suck right now. Play marvel rivals and go read her old books

I guess it's just it's just Eve Ewing's job at Marvel now to clean up after white boys' messes with WoC characters...
This is like the third or fourth time she's been asked to do this...
>>149432760I always figured they would have been a better fit for more mystic shit. The Darkforce/Lightforce duality stuff has some connections to everything from Chthon and the Darkhold, vampires and ancient Atlantis, Blade, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and so on. And their old nemesis, D'Spayre, has some adjacency and overlap with other big otherworldly dudes like Nightmare, Mephisto, Dormammu, and so on. Magical dimensional shit Strange tends to get caught up in. And in more recent times they got involved with Mister Negative, who always invoked themes of mysticism and dualism with his demons and inversion powers. So there are a lot of narrative devices in place and connections to make here if someone ever had a mind to retool Cloak & Dagger.
If nothing else they should have been on the Defenders already. I don't know how the hell they got on the Savage/Secret Avengers but were never in a Defenders lineup.
>>149427952Just make up a sudden twin sister called Rumble who is a bad guy and everything will work out.
>>149433012It was so popular that it made Peter Milligan and Mike and Laura Allred mainstream superstars (for global fans of USA capeshit) in the 2000s and has had around at least legacy mini-series by the same creators since then
>>149432477>They have seized control of the Mississippi RiverAll of it? That's a lot of river.
>>149433059You can still do all of that even now , but Marvel has mostly no more appetite at all for the magickal mystickal hippy weirdness like they did in the 1970s and 1990s since the marketplace doesnt support it anymore , I mean , even DC has given up on Classic Vertigo still being its own thing anymore tsk tsk tsk
>>149433012The series has a bit of a running gag that everything involving death has pretty loose or nonsensical rules.
>>149430336Deciding Typhoid Mary was a mutant so she could be a fakeout Jean Grey was probably a mistake.
>>149432818Youre retarded if you believe that , since its a fact that even the most obscure Z-list one-shot X-gene Marvel mutants have more obsessive fanatics than even once A-list non-X-gene mutant characters , why do you think they stealth-made comicbook Iron Man (not MCU) to now be an X-supporting/adjacent character now eh?!
>>149430846Jesus...I need to sit down.
>>149433188Nah , she’d have been forgotten already by the fans if they didnt do that , in fact she already WAS which is why nobody IRL realized immediately who Mutant Zero was
>>149430875What issue/run is this?
>>149433245You think this was random coincidence that 616-Tony Stark is now forever known as Mr Emma Frost?! LOL
>>149432477Axo is not important.
>>149433245>why do you think they stealth-made comicbook Iron Man (not MCU) to now be an X-supporting/adjacent character!NTA but my guess is it's because Duggan was penning both Iron Man and X-Men at the same time and making the storylines run parallel made sense for him as a writer.
>>149433307The Last Days of the XMen in 2019 , when a resurrected Cyclops and all those who didnt die Heroes-Reborn-style in Age of XMan battled ONE , who went go-for-broke in X-gene mutant extinction , by Rosenberg and Larocca , which was the entire final year before the Krakoan Age , it was the X-books analogue to DC’s 52/Countdown going all the back to XMen: Disassembled in 2018
>>149433245>obscure Z-list one-shot X-gene Marvel mutantsPeople that never get a single solo run and get killed in the next mutant genocide while another nobody take their place
>>149433274That is a small window to forget since Bendis Daredevil was only a few years ago.
>>149433364Yeah , but the end-result is still the same , its also what happened with Carol and Steve and so many others LOL remember , its only the X-AU’s that involve the rest of the non-X-books !
>>149433389Why was Captain America providing security at anti-mutant hate rallies while his mutant teammate Alex Summers was being tortured upstate by a US government agency? Is he pro torture if the victims are mutants?
>>149433425Was Bendis’ Daredevil even mass-popular beyond 2000s mumblecore hipsters? That title can barely keep it surviving most of rest of the time
>>149433473Because there is no actual vision.
>>149433389Eh, Rosenberg was told that he could do literally anything he wanted because absolutely none of it would matter when Hickman took charge, of course everyone's going to ignore everything that happened.
>>149433473Steve got back at Alex LOL
Kinda wish Thorne's X-Force had survived for long enough to participate in AoR. Forge's plot device orb could have been fun to have in play here.
>>149433129>>149433181I’m going to check it out finally that page is fun. I avoided it because I hate that era of X-men stuff but always heard about this being actually great.
>>149433551Since when does that work with the X-titles? The excesses of the Krakoa Era was a direct reaction to the excesses of the whole XMDA/LDXM Era, everything matters in Marvel , continuity is everything , this isnt the Distinguished Competition, duh!
Every fucking time I open a storytime it’s just Scott getting yelled at by some chick.
Look you guys might want to read that but I don’t, I’m here to see them fight bad guys and shit.
>>149433647Read everything up to X-Cellent 2023 to get the whole saga by Milligan and the Allreds
>>149433688>Since when does that work with the X-titles?Since Hickman had enough weight to throw around to allow him to ignore everything that preceded him and a premise that allowed him to do it to White's satisfaction.
>>149433421Maybe , but theres a reason why X-writers have become notorious for using the deepest of deepcuts (helped by all the online autists who OC catalogue every si single Marvel mutant appearance as if they were cruptids encounters like BigFoot or DogMan) in suddenly bringing back into the present-day characters who otherwise appeared or were just mentioned in even just a single panel (ex. Pfizer the Skinless Man) , not even LOSH writers do that KEK
>>149433877Yeah , but Brevoort’s now in charge, so its all status quo again , havent you been paying attention to From The Ashes at all?!
>>149433730No one is yelling at him
Or did you seriously look at Doug and think he was a woman?
>>149433905I doubt Brevoort read Rosenberg's X-Men either. It wasn't important, nobody read it. Spurrier kept track of Blindfold because he had written her before and was fond of her.
>>149416393 (OP)If rogue is still running a team I’m not reading shit
>she’s been the leader before go read moreFuck you, the bitch is eye candy at best. Fuck you
>>149416393 (OP)Oh boy lemme guess, cyclops is probably either blamed for the bad future or is the cause in someway, wolverines running some underground team against him in hiding and the end is cyclops sacrificing himself after being berated by everyone for the whole storyline which they wake up in the present and denote him from a leadership role.
I gotta be at least half right, right?
>>149433937Tangentially: I really liked the strong focus Rosenberg put on Ruth in the issue where Scott comes back. I have my gripes with the run on the whole, but this slice of it I'm very appreciative of.
>>149432477>Still has her polymorph powers in the timeline where everyone is a mutantImagine if Giant size ends with her hardlight powers being put back in a bottle
>>149432477>Kamala in another X-lineupPlease stop. Nobody wants this.
>>149433937Thats Bollshit , the characters who died during that era referenced it when they were resurrected . So obviously the writers read it , youre just in denial because you didnt like it so youre sour and salty and bitter KEK
>>149434180Never gonna happen , the only genie that still goes back into the bottle in Marvel are the Spidermen’s secret identities
>>149434982The details of how they died didn't matter.
>youre just in denial I am not. Rosenberg outright said they told him from the start that nothing he would do mattered.

>Some of it was about my favorites and I don’t think I’m telling tales out of school now if I say what Jonathan Hickman is doing in X-Men is a radical reimagining and I love it so much. It’s great, but I think everyone understands it’s a new era of X-Men, so this was me saying goodbye to another era. It was Magik and Havok and Cyclops and Wolfsbane and some of those are my favorite characters since I was a kid and this was me and the creative team and Editorial saying goodbye to them. And it’s not goodbye forever, but it’s goodbye to an era. So that was part of it–it’s a loving farewell.>I didn’t know details and I had more plans for X and those had to be shelved. I think the Marvel Universe is better for it. I think Jonathan’s plans are brilliant and I’m so excited. It’s only unusual that Marvel tends to work a little more linear. You set something up, then someone else runs with it. This was working backwards in some ways because Jonathan was ahead of us, so we were building things and then finding out he was already building in front of us. But that’s the job, and yeah, my plans for X–I’m happy with that annual and I’m happy we didn’t go forward with what we were going to do.
>>149435029Didn't they recently retcon Norman fucking Gwen. Perhaps they have loosened up behind the scenes.

Between his failed rape of Frog Man and Kingpin and his successful rape of White Tiger, only the cult of Bendis types liked his run.
>>149432781She is trapped in another astral plane
>>149433959The guy who created her made her a leader 25 years ago. Your 90s Rogue hasn't existed since the 90s.
>>149418803When you have a straight character that some people consider lesbian or asexual, and another straight character that some people consider gay, putting them together is controversial, not to mention the age gap, Cain is older than Xavier.
>>149436486Inhumans are old and busted, mutants are the new hotness.
Come to think of it, save Apocalypse the Externals never really feature in any of the bad futures. You'd think they'd lend themselves to that sort of storytelling since it's baked into their premise that they're always around. But you hardly ever hear of Selene or Candra or Absalom getting up to any shit in the future.
>>149437405They were too ill defined, it was just an aborted story idea Rob Liefield had revisited a month before leaving Marvel.
If you had the trading cards that came with X-Force number 1, the Externals were called the Prophets, another name and idea he took with him to Image.
It was like the X-Traitor Jim Lee came up with, an idea that set the fans minds on fire but no resolution was actually though up by them.
>>149437365Mutants have been rotten for decades
>>149437026She might be a leader now, but she sucks at it. At least hire someone who can write her as a competent leader of you want to give her that role.
>>149437044Wait, I'm confused now. I was sure Juggernaut was gay. Google says he's not. Lol.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't "ship" Magik with anyone because, aside from being retarded, she isn't even human any more.
Why are the X-men always so reliant on dystopian futures for their storylines?
>>149431014Doug's name should have been Babel instead of Cypher. It's weird...the writers of the current series seem to think Babel means nobody understands each other (Doug casting dissenters into an area he calls Babel, where nobody can communicate with anyone else) when the Tower of Babel was attempted by just the opposite.
>>149438580LOL I was just asking this out loud as I left for work this morning "Why are Marvel futures so SHITTY?!". The kitten living on my porch simply shrugged as he continued to eat his Friskies.
>>149438580It's all downstream of Days of Future Past. If it's not someone endlessly revisiting that, it's just someone doing their own different take on the same concept.
>>149438791Please don't tell me that fucker is eating shawarma. Why the fuck is that a recurring thing with Marvel? Pretty sure it started with one of the Avengers movies.
>>149438968In the previous page he said he was going for a hot dog but I guess the artist legitimately didn't know what those look like.

How is this going to work? are they going to revert back tot he past after this is over???
i think magik would sniff out the nerd she used to bully as a teenager was about to pull off some bullshit, but that's just me.
>>149438580They need persecution to justify their persecution complex.
>>149416513kid spying on his parents fucking is a little weird.
>>149439240What are you talking about, Magik was protective toward the nerd and heartbroken when he died. Her being a bully is a Fox movie thing
>>149439544i meant bully in a playful way, she did it with all the male new mutants. my point she would be able to sniff out he was up to something.
>>149435167Like I said , whatever their motivation is in theory , in practice its still the same anyway , Everything Matters , and Marvel Continuity shall always be Tandem Writing Pass The Baton , even whenever they retcon whole storylines , they still make it be some mainstay rogues-gallery supervillain’s latest attempt at a master plan or something , and always build from that moving forward LOL
>>149439544she's the queen of limbo, nerd. of course she cared about her friends but she also made fun of them and bullied them on occasion.
>>149437405Well in-universe , the canon x-planation is that the known Externals (there may be secret/hidden/forgotten Externals if you look at the chronological pattern of their emergences) , most of whom are guys , are all either burned-out or out-of-touch , stereotypical Boomers basically , to ever be genuinely effective , Apocalypse and Selene , and to a lesser extent , Gideon and Candra (but theyre more decadent hedonists rather than megalomaniacal conquerors) are the exceptions to the rule
lol where the fuck is phoenix to put an end to this non sense
>>149437044Magik is canonically a nymphosexual according to Claremont , she was horny for Kurt and once , she got brainwashed by an alien slaver at a slave auction (she was with Charles at the time) and literally went into heat in public immediately (it keeps getting posted over the years in xmen storytimes but I dont the time to find it now)
>>149439763Claremont is a fucking hack. Dude really needed a tard wrangler.
>>149435196We have ONLY Harry’s word for it , and he’s notorious for being a liar , so they can still retcon it again in the future as him being petty enough to try to get back at his dad by negating his one confirmed sexual triumph KEK
>>149439839Have some respect , that hack made the franchise what it is , ungrateful ingrate ! LOL
>>149437405Well the Krakoa era made use of the others at least by having Apocalypse and Selene basically turn them into a magical gate for Amenth. So either it got destroyed at some point and they'll eventually revive at a later date or the portal is still intact and they are basically also in the White Hot Room.
>>149439980It got destroyed at some point, because all of them except Apocalypse appeared in the mega-arc that closed out X-Men Unlimited during Fall of X.
>>149439544I want Darkchild to bully me(sexually)
Is the whole Stark and Emma thing being done so they can keep her from getting in the way of Scott and Jean?
>>149439096... sounds about standard for Comic artists these days. They don't know what anything looks like other than people.
>>149418803they're just friends, dawg. juggs definitely would not go for a chick like her.
>>149440091That would be a nightmare
>>149440121lol it will eventually lead to emma cucking stark with cyclops. which would cause absolute chaos, so i doubt they're going for that.
>>149440121tony could never make emma feel this way, it wouldn't work out
Man did any of you guys in here actually read this? Because that house of m issue is fucking snoresville, Wolverine is literally just walking and talking in these books.
>>149439980Actually they all came back already in 2023/24 in the Xmen Unlimited Infinity Comics where they participated in yet another one of Selene’s attempts at ascending to becoming a literal goddess, they were beaten by X-Corporation (all of the major X-cast not directly involved in the main Fall of C storyline) and all of them who stuck it out to the bitter end (Saul, Nicodemus, Krule, Absolom, Selene) are now imprisoned in suspended animation/psychic jail by X-Corps while those who quit early (Gideon, Burke) are still free while Apocalypse and Candra (and arguably Cannonball and White Sword) never bothered to get involved LOL
magik sort of reminds of relena from gundam wing
>>149438580I know right? You might think it would be Avengers considering how they deal with enemies like Ultron or Kang but it's always the mutants.
>>149441061that's because many nu-artists literally trace relena when drawing her.
>>149441198Kang's shit is too far away to deal with. No one is going to go back in time to prevent that.
>>149439907No wonder the franchise has been so shitty since his days
>>149439763Why is Magik a demon thing when his brother is a metal guy?
>>149441061>RelenaWeird name
>>149441285the demon thing isn't her mutant power. her mutant power is the shaping discs (telportation portals) that let her travel through time and space.
she was abducted as a child and raised/sexually abused in limbo as a child and that's where she gets her magical powers/darkchilde from.
>>149439763To be fair she was shot by orgasm gun at the time, no girl can resist it
>>149441302Really? I remember that another show had a girl called Relena.
>>149440425Just once in my life I want to make a woman feel like this

>>149438185He was never gay, but some people like to push that idea, even a few writers like Nicieza, but since 90% of Juggernaut fans are also very against the idea of making him gay that will never happen.

>>149430297Those pages are from Xorn's return in Bendis' New Avengers, between House of M and Civil War, where Xorn tried to fuse with Magneto. They weren't a fusion in any of the earlier Xorn stories.
>>149430654Stuff like this was the same as writers constantly trying to re-retcon Jean and Phoenix into being the same person and hoping they could slip it past editors who were asleep at the wheel. As it stands it's more of a weird glaring anomaly contradicted by everything else than THIS IS THE ONE TRUTH EVERYTHING ELSE IS LIES moment the people working on it want it to be. It'll only end up mattering if someone ever revisits or explains it, or Marvel ever actually allows someone to explicitly confirm Magneto was Xorn, which is harded to do when we have two Xorn brothers around in canon.
I don't think Bendis was doing an intentional 'stealth retcon' about Xorn at all, he probably just thinks Magneto crippled Xavier because that's what happened in Ultimate X-Men and in the movies, and editorial didn't know either, or wouldn't correct him because he's Bendis. Xorn never truly 'paralyzed' Xavier in New X-Men, he just temporarily restored his ability to walk then took it away again.

>>149433274>Daredevil character would have been forgotten by the fans if they didn't turn her into a mutant for the sake of a story where she's the reveal to a mystery box character that Marvel were teasing was JeanI guess this is what it's like to be such a hardcore X-Men fan that you really truly think nothing else matters and nobody cares about a character unless they're a mutant.
>>149433245>Youre retarded if you believe that , since its a fact that even the most obscure Z-list one-shot X-gene Marvel mutants have more obsessive fanatics than even once A-list non-X-gene mutant charactersIt's not the 90s anymore anon. Most of these X-books are selling under 30-40K per issue, and most of the Z-list mutants aren't REALLY more popular "just because they're mutants". At best they have that one asshole sperg who's permanently online and is obsessed with his Z-list waifu or husbando. You're the retarded one if you genuinely believe rando X-book Z-listers are more popular than any other Marvel characters, or even that X-Men in general is as popular as it used to be in the 80s and 90s.
>why do you think they stealth-made comicbook Iron Man (not MCU) to now be an X-supporting/adjacent character now eh?!Because Waid used his History of the Marvel Universe mini to pitch the idea of Tony and Emma getting married, someone at Marvel really liked it, then Duggan was writing X-Men and Iron Man at the same time and went all-in on it, and enough people liked it for Marvel to revisit it during this event, but you're here misinterpreting it all as "Iron Man has failed as a character so hard that Marvel have turned him into an X-Men supporting character" because that fits your headcanon and view of Marvel.
>149433436>remember , its only the X-AU’s that involve the rest of the non-X-books !This is literally the first X-Men AU event to involve other books in a significant way, and not just one side mini showing what's happening to everyone else.
