unstable molecules

So are Gateway, Cable, Thunderbird, Moira, Vulcan and Lilandra… all of whom were in the first promo image that also featured Shaw between Emma and Cyclops. https://www.newsarama.com/44443-house-of-x-and-powers-of-x-bring-mutant-mayhem-this-july.html Good point, though that one feels like such a big...

I think I've been saying this for awhile but I definitely had the feeling that Rosenberg's run will end up with some sort of reset button. I don't think anyone would be killing off so many characters left and right without something like that in mind. Could tie into AoX (which obviously will end wit...

Isn't Shaw dead?

ASTONISHING X-MEN - While not an Emma Frost fan by any stretch of the imagination, I can't deny that she has earned her place in and amongst the world of the X-Men. ... She would have her OWN team of X-Men (who probably aren't called X-Men, but the book needs SOME kind of catchy title, so whatever)...

I really like that split for the two main X-team books, grief. Especially having Jean be leader and Cyke/Wolverine can bond without her (always liked their duo arc near the end of Morrison's run), and having all the 'cooler' second-tier characters on the B-squad together. Forge getting a solo book a...

Synopsis: Nightcrawler teleports Tenia and Celeste away to the rooftop, where Celeste explains that they've been mind-wiping Nightcrawler, Meggan and company every time they inevitably fall in love, in order to keep their 'family' together and safe from Department X. Nightcrawler eventually decides ...

I'm not opposed to 'heroes lose, shaggy dog story' endings but when they're used the preceding story needs to be worth it, and this is not an example of that - nothing here stood out, so the only thing I was really looking forward to here was a resolution and instead, nothing... the kids just lose a...

Boy, not really a triumphant return for Cyclops, eh? The bit with being vulnerable to telepaths makes a lot of sense, and one of the first things Cyke shoulda done was ensure some protection on that front. And trusting Dark Beast is just moronic. I'm fine with him letting him have a lab and work on ...

Synopsis:

Spoiler: show

Evan dies fighting Omega Red, Kitty and Colossus bang, Eye-Boy discovers Apocalypse is working for Nate.

At the start I was all happy for my guess to be right (about Colossus murdering Moneta). Well, I suppose I was half right, as Moneta is the deceased (good riddance, but it does make me wonder if Unveil should be taking out life insurance) but turns out Apocalypse is the killer. I'm really trying to ...

Emma & Mystique are oddly absent from the covers here, so I wonder what they may be up to. They're featured quite prominently on the POX #2 cover, and show up on the HOX #2 cover as well, so they'll likely be around. Mystique is also in the panel of Sabretooth shown. Unless this is a Brolaris? Good...

"Well, I've never worn green before" -Magneto probably

Synopsis: Bishop and Forge talk, and it's clear Forge is having doubts. Bishop goes and talks to everyone (who are now suddenly open to his talking about past memories) and gets all the prisoners on his side to stage a riot. Forge sees the riot and thinks they have lost their way, activating the kil...

I took Nova not putting up a fight purely as giving up

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if she was still in her "I've done terrible things, I won't fight, I deserve whatever you do to me" mode.

For the issue itself, I agree with the general feeling that it's moving a bit too quickly, or at least feels a bit jumpy. It definitely got stronger at the end though, and I especially love the way Sinister's being written. Art was rough. As for all the revelations/events: - Like others, I was disap...

Early reviews are in and it's hovering around 20% on RT. Which is worse than X3 and Wolverine: Origins. Not that I imagine the film is actually worse than those two movies, I think it's just the sign of the times (that superhero movies are so common now that the bad ones will be trashed instead of t...

I'm not the biggest Honey Badger fan but changing her name is stupid. Meme-y though it may have been, it still makes sense given wolverines and honey badgers are closely related, and as Cable says she's the sort of person who would like the name. Certainly miles better than Scout (or X-23 for that m...

Yeah, as someone who's fallen into the completionist trap and getting every issue... no. I strongly suspect you could just read the Alpha and upcoming Omega issue and get 95% of the plot. And it'll likely all be neatly tied up, swept aside and unimportant to Hickman's upcoming event, which is meant ...

Yeah, I don't like this title (X-Tremists) as much as InsipidLust, but I can't disagree that while it's not the story I expected, there's still some interesting character moments in it. Whereas X-Tracts is not only not the story I expected/wanted, the "payoff" is fighting Omega Red. Yawn.

The ending just seems to come out of nowhere. The implication is that Moneta’s caused people’s memories to return. But perhaps it’s not? Maybe it’s just that X-Man’s universe is coming apart? Also, what happened with pregnant rat lady? She seems to have been totally ignored this issue which, since ...

Will it actually be based on the video game(s) or is Buzzfeed just guessing? There's also a KOTOR comic series (set in the same period, but different characters) and I basically just think of it as a setting rather than the actual games. I'd be surprised if they actually made a movie about Revan, I ...

Good action-y issue, and still manages to squeeze in a good moment for almost everyone (though I do think the team probably has one too many characters). Was Blaquesmith always this much of an asshole? I'm used to him as more of a Yoda-type but have limited exposure to him.

Synopsis: The two rival studios brawl, and Nightcrawler tries to stop it before realizing that the crowd is cheering, thinking it's part of a show. Happy to be part of a world where people feel safe enough to think it's play, he enters the fight and beats Lady Mastermind's team. During the fight he ...

So, i know it's not supposed to be the case, but this could easily be interpreted as Bran plotting the whole thing to be crowned, like a mastermind that positioned everybody "where they are supposed to be" so they decide to choose him as the new King. [conspiracy] The NK is actually a good guy who ...

Underwhelming finale to a horribly underwhelming and disappointing final season. The first chunk was good, even if the Nazi metaphor seemed a bit on the nose with Dany in her black uniform at the top of a staircase lined with all her soldiers and her giant red and black banner behind her. Something ...
