The Expatriate X-Men vs. Undeadpool and Fearless!Comics in this thread:>Undeadpool #3>Expatriate X-Men #3>X-Vengers #3>Cloak or Dagger #3
Bump if you're reading.
We're covering Undeadpool #3 before Expatriate X-Men #3 since last month we got the confirmation that the Undeadpool mini took place before Expatriate X-Men #2, just so you all know.
Hey look, there they are! Let's just hope that they play nice and let Fearless hop onto one of their boats.
>Wade scammed them out of millions of dollarsHonestly would have liked it better if the reveal was that he had eaten Axo.
Let's see if Cable has a better chance in stopping him.
HOLY SHIT, END THIS EVENT ALREADY
>"Fearless could have augmented your healing factor at any time. Could have beaten the X-Virus in your body."huh
>Fearless was trying to be a Chorister all alongWait WHAT
I was actually thinking that Cable was going to survive this and bring the knowledge of this future with him in Inglorious X-Force, but I guess not.
>Cable was rightKill this fucker Wade.
>She's deadHappy that Wade didn't take the bait. But that means...
...Wade himself also dies. With the exception of the Exceptional X-Men and that one mechanic in Issue #1, the entire cast of this book died.
And now for Expatriate X-Men.
We just read about the Expatriate X-Men in Undeadpool, but it has nothing to do with what's going on in their own comic (that's comics for ya, lol).X years from now, Kamala and the Exceptional kids formed the "Blue Dashers", a group of mutant mercs operating from a flotilla in the Mississippi River. In one of their recent missions on the behalf of Mystique, they rescued the mutant Lyrebird from a military complex and were tasked to safely transfer him to the Limbo Lands, due to his knowledge of highly sensitive information. But it doesn't take long before they realize that Lyrebird is a mole as he's fully capable of defending himself and could have easily broken out of the military complex they saved him from. As they discussed on whether to continue with the mission or to ditch him, Melee - who in reality was working for someone else to make sure that Lyrebird DOESN'T get to the Limbo Lands - phased Lyrebird out of the boat. As Kamala went underwater to save him, she was shocked to see that the boats were being powered with 3K tech! But her confrontation with Melee regarding this was cut short as they were attacked by one of the demons of the Limbo Lands!
>They're being attacked despite working for DarkchyldeWhatever enchantment Darkchylde is using must be really lousy if it can do a mistake like that.
Why do I have a feeling that this is really the reason to why Colossus is in this comic?
>Thao was working with 3KI wonder which 3K members are still around for Thao to get in contact with them and to provide her with tech.>"Ah. Yes, you want...our precious daughter."You can't be fucking serious, another future timeline kid?
>"She was yours and Illyana's. And now I have inherited her."...But how the hell could she have inherited her if Illyana has been "dead" for 10 years?
>3K would help Thao in finding and saving KittyShame that Virta let Kitty go in Book of Revelation #2.
Time to go for the nuclear option, then.
Doop is saying: A PHRASE IN THE DOOP LANGUAGE
>>151851178Thanks, DoopThoop
Oh, she just...died? Just like that?
Fuck it, we train pirates now!
And now for X-Vengers.
The Avengers were unfortunately not immune to the X-Virus, with the members having to deal with having their lives forever changed and getting accustomed to their new reality. But despite that, they were still Earth's Mightiest Heroes and under the leadership of Dani Moonstar, they were still going to protect Earth from all dangers - even the Revelation Territories. Following the prevention of a Kree invasion, a mutated version of the X-Virus began spreading the terrain, claiming the lives of two of the Avengers. Revelation revealed to Dani that these outbreaks were in reality an assassination attempt by U.S. President Sam Wilson, and gave the team only 3 hours to resolve this conflict before he would wage war with what remains of America...
>"Sunspot could bring down this Quinjet in a second."You're riding the Quinjet, it will bring all of you down itself.
huh
Aw crap, it's already spreading.
Good thing we got President Captain America helping out now.
What the hell, M.O.D.O.K.? He's behind the mutated X-Virus?
BOBBY NOOOOOOO
Oh well, M.O.D.O.K. is dead now. Let's go home.
And now for Cloak or Dagger.
Following being h̶i̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶M̶a̶r̶v̶e̶l̶ ̶R̶i̶v̶a̶l̶s̶ ̶s̶y̶n̶e̶r̶g̶y̶ infected with the X-Virus, the newly-wed Cloak and Dagger are unable to exist at the same time and place, with the one half of the pair having to stay on Earth and the other half in a pocket dimension taking care of their daughter Ayla. As the X-Virus continued to spread and began reaching St.Louis, Cloak and Dagger along with the two other mutants Flex and Scritch decided to help out the people to evacuate the city. But many of the evacuating civilians were being kidnapped by the Fenris Twins, who were forcefully exposing them to the X-Virus in hopes of recruiting any new mutants through this process into their society "New Elysium". Locating the last outpost, The Twins attempted to recruit Cloak to their cause, but immediately began attacking him when he tells them to fuck off. With a horde of New Elysium loyalists approaching the outpost, Ayla makes a dangerous move - pulling Dagger with her out of the pocket dimension and have her fight the horde with Cloak at the same time...
>>151851290ToT
>Ayla was born inside the pocket dimensionExplains why they have so much stuff in there.
Oh come on.
Oh right, we still have to deal with you guys.
And Andreas remained there, never to return.
checklist
>>151851106>>151851120Wait... So if Fearless can overclock any mutant power, why is she triggering Kamala's Inhuman powers of embiggening to go out of control instead of her mutant power of vague MCU disco ball hardlight?>>151851165>>151851178...actually come to think of it, why does Kamala ever use her mutant powers of vague MCU disco ball hardlight outside of that one spread in #2 and the two blink and you'll miss 'em moments here?
And that was Week 12 and the FINAL week of Age of Revelation tie-ins.Next week: X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale.And that's it! If you liked these, support your LCS or whatever.
>>151851256Man Clint can't catch a break
>>151851193>And Philly is basically Jersey.I can't help but see this as equal parts offensive to Philadelphians and Jersey Natives
>>151851354If Marvel wanted to make a new Cloak and Dagger series to cash in on their inclusion and gameplay style in Rivals, why not just set it in current continuity and not in a completely inconsequential tie-in to an utter flop of an X-Men event?
>>151851197>>151851275Might be two of the weakest minis in this whole event. There's really nothing here I'd want to salvage.
>>151851074This seems out of character even for a jaded post-apocalyptic Kamala.
>>151851423Maybe it's a trial balloon.
>>151851689Not a very useful one, tied it to a lead weight like this.
>>151851197I'm not even sure what happened in this mini.
>>151851160How many plot device babies does this make now? I know there's Laura's in Sabertooth and Polaris' in Sinister's Six... I suppose Elbecca/Virta counts too since she didn't exist before this event
>>151851809Just a whole bunch of busy work to explain why, like all of the tie-ins, the featured cast won't be playing a factor in what was always meant to be a Days Of Future Past pastiche for Cyclops exclusively
I admit I haven't been attentive enough with the book to read all the text so maybe I missed the fate of a minor character but was Expatriate X-men the only book in this event that didn't have characters get killed off for shock value and whatnot?
>>151851160>>151851161If Illyana was pregnant and gave birth before her death in the raid, I guess that means this Lyrebird fellow is officially the first guy in all of Marvel's publishing history that 616's Illyana is confirmed to have slept with.>>151851193In light of the reveal in the infinity comic that Darkchild double-murdered Illyana in Limbo, Piotr's witless sentimentality looks a little farcical here.
>>151851354At least one of these tie-ins can end without killing everyone for shits and giggles.
>>151852022The double murder really makes Cyclops' victimblaming victory in Amazing #2's "Truth Battle" make even less sense
>>151851883Cloak Or Dagger also walked away with a relatively low body count
>>151851745It's quite fascinating how utterly dogwalked the X-Men line has become on the charts by DC's Absolute line
>>151851161>>151852022The only ways that this makes sense is>a) Doug waited a good while to launch the raid on SHIELD, and during that time Magik meets Lyrebird>b) Magik has already met Lyrebird before Doug joins the X-Men and gives birth before the raid is pulled off
>>151852151Editorial is to blame. I mean, sure, individual series and creative teams all have their own strengths and weaknesses, but if we're seeing problems across the board on just about every series under the X-Office's purview, the takeaway has got to be that there's an overriding dysfunction on the editorial side of things.
>>151852191Or maybe some >capeshit happened and there was some time travel bullshit involved.
>>151851048variant covers for these issues:Undeadpool #3 ACO VariantUndeadpool #3 Paco Diaz VariantCloak or Dagger #3 Greg Land VariantCloak or Dagger #3 Todd Nauck VariantX-Vengers #3 Edwin Galmon VariantX-Vengers #3 Sergio Fernández Dávila Variant
>>151851364Almost done... Only one more week of this shitty event and we can get back to uhhh, whatever it was they were doing before.
The new Marvel Winter Break Special has references to that Rogue Savage Land mini in case anyone cares
>>151852205Oh, it's quite apparent that Tom Brevoort forced himself into a leadership position ASAP in order to be the guy in the chair when the MCU synergy money train finally rolls in and he really has no ideas outside of milking the same thirty years cycle of nostalgia as X-Men 97
>>151851270The Shield make it look like Dani have huge hips
>>151851121Spontaneous combustion cancer is the worst kind.
>>151851103Nathan means worm, fucking JOBBER
>>151851361Don't be raycist, Fearless can overclock any power, be it mutant, inhuman, science experiment gone wrong, or the power of frenship
>>151851165That doesn't look like a comforting hug at all. Seems like you are preparing to shuck her off the board
>>151851187How is she supposed to tell Illyana when Illyana is double-dead?
>>151851293Spice Level: Mean. Possibly Scary.
>>151851354Odd pacing in this one. They spent half the miniseries fighting the bad guys on a parking lot somewhere.
>>151851160
>>151851254FUUUUCK YEAH MODOK!!!!!!!!
>>151851354so, why do you have to evacuate when the attack is over?
>>151851161Excuse me this is actually rape
>>151851143Doop!
>>151853556OP's recap explains it, they have been evacuating because the X-Virus has been reaching St. Louis >>151851281Every time we've seen Illinois in the other comics, it's been abandoned and overgrown
>>151851809Give Ksmala something to do because they can't kill her off
