Bump if you're reading.
>”To me, my X-Posse!”no
So it was not Agatha Harkness. Turns out, it’s another witch who also happens to be called Agatha (it’s her middle name) and was also looking for the Darkhold, and whose only appearance is in an early Werewolf By Night story, where she died. And now she’s back again! >https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Andrea_Timly_(Earth-616)
Sorry, no more Morbin’ time for you. And no Vampire Jubilee Round 2 for us.
Sadurang is back again, along with ANOTHER new look.
Wait, so a full year has already passed since Issue #1? Well that’s great, just hand over the Eye of Power to him and we’ll be done with this.
Oh come on.
Suddenly, Werewolverine
Finally the Outliers do something in this arc instead of listening to the story time.
yoink
Rogue, why the hell did you consider sending her to Graymalkin?
>>152953867Why does she look like Agatha Harkness in fetish wear? Just a red herring?
letters
In other news, the X-girls of Earth-6160 were written like shit in Endgame.
But we're not done yet! Because it's the (7)25th issue, we got a bonus story…>>152953933Yeah it was most likely just to bait people.
>>152953860Deathdream lied. This isn't Death at all. It's just some streaking goth lady.>>152953910>>152953916That was easy.
>>152953920>>152953922>>152953932I don't get this endingDoes Rogue have Dankhold powers nowIs she wearing the red outfit from now on
Jitter is so goddamn cute holy shit
And now for Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon.
Previously on our journey towards Armageddon, Logan met up with the mutant tracker Teri O'Barnes, who was responsible for assisting the Weapon X program to kidnap him back during the original Weapon X storyline (don’t worry, she apologized for it). Teri told Logan about PrimeWarrior, a private military company that has been hosting their own super-soldier project and replicating the methods used by Weapon X: they’re kidnapping mutants with healing factors and putting them through the same experience that Logan once went through. While Teri has been able to stay a step ahead of PrimeWarrior and save many mutants by relocating them and fixing them new identities, PrimeWarrior was still able to kidnap a man named Tyler Torrens and place him in their facility in the Ozarks, and Teri needed Logan's help to save him.Traveling to the Ozarks, they were surprised to see that the facility had already been blown apart by a bomber who had been targeting PrimeWarrior facilities, with Tyler nowhere to be found and an origin box also reported to be missing. Continuing their search, Logan ends up tracking Tyler's scent to a cabin surrounded with deadly booby traps. The cabin’s owner? The bomber of PrimeWarrior's facilities and former Captain America: Dave Colton!Meanwhile, PrimeWarrior's CEO Pruet got the info that Logan had been inside the Ozarks facility, and called in Nuke to go after him…
Just like the last issue, this one is also 25 pages long. I guess every issue is extra-sized?
Oh right, Logan was involved in the creation of Nuke. Thanks a lot, Daniel Way.
>>152953980Why is he wearing dick tubes over his underwear?
>>152953932Wasn't this supposed to be the big Jubilee arc Gail promised was totally coming? She did nothing but get captured. Why the hell is she even in this book in the first place?
Let's check back on Logan and Colton.
>>152953999I think that might be next up.
Wait, that PrimeWarrior scientist was also involved in Project: Homegrown?
>>152953932Whos the 2 hot gals gambit holding?
>>152954009It's not because no matter what's promised it's just going to wind up actually being about Rogue, Gambit and the Outshitters like usual. Just put her on MacKay's team. They can swap her with Kwannon.
There you are Tyler. Just get to where Logan is and we can wrap this mini up.
...or don't, and make this mini longer.
You’re not going to kill the bear? Okay then.
woops
Teri, nooooo!
And now for Generation X-23.
Last month, Laura and Gabby were protecting a mutant from an angry mob when they suddenly saw time itself breaking down around them. Thinking that it was Kiden Nixon due to picking up her scent, Laura began tracking and met instead X-80 - a mutant created using Kiden’s DNA - who asked Laura to save others like her before she apparently died unable to control her powers. Traveling to a seemingly abandoned storage facility (that smelled awfully like the Facility that Laura grew up in), the sisters broke in and were ambushed by the Robo-Bubs guarding the place, before finding themselves against the newest weapons: X-66, X-73, X-74, X-92, X-99 and X-Infinite. And the weapons were ready to…not fight them at all?
It’s really weird to be covering this comic, knowing that the artist behind this just recently passed away.
>”Could I maybe get an autograph?”No.
>X-99 has Husk’s powersOn one hand: I would get a little disappointed if one of these weapons didn't have a powerset referencing one of the Generation X members. But on the other hand: I’d rather just see Husk appear again, given that the Astonishing X-Men Infinity Comic got canceled.>”And you can call me X-Infinite.”But will you talk about your key philosophy?
>All of the Facility personnel accidentally diedwoops
>”What the happy couple isn’t telling you is that we’re all a little defective.”Well that’s just confirming that these guys don’t have long shelf life and might die before they even get to make appearances in other books.
>They’re not letting Laura help themShut up, just let her help. If you’re still having the same problems months later even with the resources you have access to, then you’re better off just asking Laura to hook you up with someone who can help you before you break yourselves. >”Our origins may stem from mutant genetic material. We may have been crafted by humans. But we’re the Generated. We’re something entirely different from either.”Is that a fancier way of calling yourself artificial mutants?
>”They have no idea Facility 23 is no longer under their control.”5 bucks on that they do know and have been watching you the whole time.
>>152954114>WE'RE THE GENERATEDI'm reminded of that one Venture Bros episode where the unpaid interns mutate and develop a cult after just a few days of being left without oversight. These guys are a bunch of bored theater kids.
huh
>>152954124So the bird girl is M/Penance, no?
Well, there went X-73.
Oh fuck off, this is your fault.
>>152954143>>152954147Colossus + Chamber?
And now for Inglorious X-Force.
Last time, X-Force went on a mission to defeat Barberry Boone, a man from the Blasphemy Cartel who had kidnapped the Ephemera Angel Anielle (an obscure character from Gambit’s second mini) so that he could torture her to hunt for mutants. When Cable freed her, he asked her if Akihiro was Kamala’s potential killer to which she denied, meaning that it was down to Boom-Boom or Angel.Meanwhile, Domino is continuing to spy on Cable, and notices that he had secretly stolen the SHIELD data that Boone was keeping…
>>152954151>shaved mohawk + unshaved sideburnsMassive douchebag vibes
Wait a minute, is that…Beyond Tower?>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Beyond_Tower
DETHDREAM WIFE <3<3
Of fucking course it was. Having her in Adjectiveless wasn’t enough, now we have to deal with Maxine Danger in X-Force as well.
Oh no, a character that only appeared in the Infinity Comics!>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Lynda_Locke_(Earth-616)
Okay, now it makes sense why they were at Beyond Tower. We’re dealing with Nextwave stuff.
Suddenly, U.W.M.D.s
>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Dirk_Anger_(Earth-63163)
>>152953904Granny booba
They keep cloning Boom-Boom!
>>152954172>>152954179>>152954182This hookup is gonna get so awkward after Warren hears about the beef with the Alaskan team.
>Boom-Boom is making Warren use his Death Seed powerThis absolutely will not have any consequences, nope.
>Archangel is the Kamala's killerWhy would Warren do it? He even let her ride his private jet!
>Boom-Boom had sex with AkihiroWe saw it coming.
Ah shit, Domino got exposed.
And now for Rogue.
Previously, Rogue visited Mystique and Destiny to get answers to what happened during the mission with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in Project PEGASUS. Unfortunately she did not get any actual answers to what happened, causing her to storm out. During her flight, she contacts Gambit and gets the info that the allegedly dead Constrictor - who also happened to be there on that mission - is secretly alive and has placed himself in hiding. But the moment she gets that info, she loses control of her powers and (due to having accidentally absorbed Mystique’s powers when she visited her) began rapidly shapeshifting, causing her to crash into a warehouse where a deal was being made with associates of Constrictor and the anti-mutant group Humanity First, forcing her to fight with them.Meanwhile, the handicapped former Project PEGASUS guard J. Stelton comes home to his wife to tell her the news: he has found Rogue, who is apparently responsible for what happened to him during that mission…and he’s going to make her pay!
>”Ah’ve lost mah ability ta fly. Without mah wings, it’s the good ol’ Greydog bus for me.”The bus!? Can’t you just call Warren to send his private jet to you or something?
>>152954236I don't approve. Aki is a turd of a person.
>>152954060Crusty page, crisp text. I've seen this happen rarely.
>Stelton is a mutant who can make people experience the worst thing they have ever doneCould have shared that info with us earlier, you know.>”Then I guess my mutant codename should be ‘Trauma’.”Hate to break it to you buddy, but that name is already taken by another guy who also has fear-based powers.>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Terrance_Ward_(Earth-616)
>>152954240Tabby issue = good issue
Hey don’t point your finger at me
>”At least Ah’ve still got Mystique’s shapeshifting powers, but Ah don’t know for how long.”…why didn’t you use those powers to hide your identity when you pickpocketed the ID from the guy?
Again, not a fan of the reveal that the original Constrictor is alive, when his son was created solely to have a Constrictor running around after he died and fix a continuity error that was caused by Bendis.
>Sabretooth had a jar of hearts stored inside a footlockerwhat
Damn, with just one press of a button he got the suit on. Could have added some sound effects or something though.
Another flashback to the mission. Will we get one step closer to the truth?
>>152954287Yeah this blows.
>Rogue absorbed Creed's powers and then knocked out ConstrictorWell, it's not that much new info to be honest. Even Mystique's info last issue was more worthwhile than this.
>She forgot to use the private elevatorAnd you were this close to getting away with it.
Good luck getting out of this without your powers!
Next week: X-Men #28, Deadpool: April Pool's Day.And that's it! If you liked these, support your LCS or whatever.
>>152954329I don't really get why there's a mystery here. Even if she killed someone, it wouldn't be the first time. Keeping it from her is strange.
>>152954317I hate how they can't let any Marvel villains that aren't the obvious A-List guys be a major threat for even a few pages. Also I am conflicted cause I'm happy the real Constrictor is back but I hate how the way he's still around contradicts a major part of Diamondback's motivation in her admittedly spotty appearance in the Spencer Captain America run.
>>152954126Sex with Gabby.
>>152954128So did we just forget about Kiden or what?
I'd like a new NYX series. Except, you know, good. Not like the last one.
>>152954231>>152954240Nathan's going to turn out to be the Secret Schumer, isn't he?
>>152954287Wasn't Diamondback also forced to take up stripping to pay for his non-existent medical bills?
>>152954725Yeah. And then she got in with the new iteration Serpent Society, which just a short bit later turned into a Mephisto cult. So things didn't turn out great in that sense.
>>152954756God I want to slit Jason Aaron's throat for that Mephisto shit baggaging over the Serpent Society.
>>152954829At least she's hanging out with her fellow B.A.D. girls Asp and Black Mamba. They're nice. And she may or may not still be able to get work through Domino, who may be a morally dubious character but is at least not an omnicidal Satanist.
do you think deathdream would agree to adopt you as his pet if you asked nicely
>>152954900I'm just annoyed that a whole team of several characters I like have that shit wafting over them, hate Mephaggot so much. Honestly It sucks how sidelined Diamondback has been but I've also not yet read the Domino run that she appeared in, plus I can't recall the last time Rachel Leighton did anything currently which is a shame but also thankful considering several other characters I like are dead or being ruined at the moment. At least 8-Ball has been treated well and Ewing is giving some kudos to Cobra, Mr Hyde and Radioactive Man.
>>152954039so a symbiote?
>>152953974I really don't understand how Gail botched such an easy touchdown with this book
>>152954184>Nextwave-adjacent story>Nextwave character>doesn't use the skulls for swearsLame
>>152954213>You sub contracted a bunch of psychopaths to try and murder two of my oldest friends and the smokeshow skinsuit of a woman I used to fuck>That's so goddamn hot
>>152954213The X-Men have all fucked their mortal adversaries at some point. I think Warren gets a pass just this once.
>>152954394You know what the worst part is I bet the book isn't actually gonna be about her dealing with all the horrific shit she did as a Heel and taking accountability for it as a Face. She is either gonna find out she never maimed that guy or killed anyone or finds out she was under the effects of something that doesn't make her culpable
>>152954905Christ I hate the kids but I really hate em for all the freaks they attract
>>152954205Imagine the orgy
>>152954172>third blonde woman in a row to browbeat Kamala Khan over not being as systemically oppressed as she isSurely someone in the X-Office realizes how fucking tone deaf this looks
>>152955954To be fair the X-books are incredibly zionist coded
>>152954075Wait didn't that artist die recently?
>>152954172>Fucking boom boom a straight white blond mutant who can hide she's a mutant super easily whining about how easy Kamala a packistani American has itGood Lord
>>152955954>>152956182Maybe you should remove your racist goggles and realize that there is more than skin color in opression and that being brown doesn't automatically means you had in worse than any white people, especially if said wait people used to get beated by her dad
>>152956294Fuck this oppression Olympics shit absolute faggotry but Kamala did grow up in post 9/11/War on Terror America as a practicing Muslim that's like getting beaten by the biggest Daddy. Anyway it's all retarded "what about me" bullshit you and her are pulling
>>152956182And this is the THIRD blonde white woman who can easily pass as a flatscan to play Oppression Olympics with Kamala, with Emma Frost and Sophie Cuckoo previously WASPsplaining
>>152954182Bring back my nigga The Captain, please...
>>152956652No, nobody can write him worth a damn so let him retire in peace
>>152954189>BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPhuh?
>>152954020Colton is becoming Naked Snake and Solid Snake
>>152954287What the fuck are you talking about? Last I heard he had cancer but it was left vague his survival from the disease
>>152954927Diamondback avoided the devil worshipping shit as after the Spencer run, Gail Simone made Rachel become a mercenary for hire and implied she made a decent amount of money to basically get Constrictor the needed medical treatment to save his life and never have to deal with the Serpent Society again, causing her to not be around when the original male Viper got the Serpent Society into devil worship and human sacrifice
>>152954172>>152956182It's kinda funny that it keeps happening. At least have a glob looking motherfucker do it. It's always human passing bitches.
