Fall of Philadelphia?Comics in this thread:>DNX #2>X-Men #38>Fantastic Four #17>Uncanny X-Men #36>Tomb of Apocalypse #2>X-Men United #7
Bump if you're reading.
To the surprise of everyone, the 3K X-Men are still standing.
>The FF need to make a radical procedure to extract the message from MagnetoWe’ll get to that in the FF tie-in.
>”Not "a" Magneto. The true Magneto.”Just shut the fuck up. Not even your team likes you.
>Juggernaut smashed the batteriesHa, can’t bomb Philadelphia now.
>Torch called Chairman a “knockoff Beast”Oh he won’t like that.
>>155673874Bunp
>Astra and Joseph teleported awayAgain?
>”It’s finished, Hank. My X-Men have put down your X-Men. We’ve eliminated your launch capacity. The madness is over. Give it up.”Well that went surprisingly smooth. So why did Cyclops request a telepathic evacuation…?
Oh dear, he’s still talking.
>”You can do anything, can you? [...] Anything but admit that you’re wrong.”Burn!
>The fucking Trask statue was an X-Virus container the whole timeI knew he was planning to aim for more spots than Philadelphia, but this one could have been prevented had Magik just teleported the thing away like I said when it showed up >>154823141.
Oh dear, now things are getting complicated.
I am excited for United only because I want to see Kevin again
And now for X-Men.
Previously in X-Men, Magneto was hit with a mysterious affliction thought to be Resurrection-Linked Degenerative Sickness during the Iron Night, forcing him to be inactive and unable to use his powers unless injected with Dextroamphetamine-X. But during 3K’s attack on the Factory, the Chairman revealed that the affliction was in reality the message sent from the Beast of the Age of Revelation before forcefully extracting it from Magneto. And now, a comatose Magneto fights for his life…
Oh shit, it’s Xavier!
Sike, this is a What If? issue now.
Oh right, I forgot about that twin. I don't think she hasn't shown up since Issue #24?
>What If Quentin and Idie attacked Merle?Thank goodness they were stopped before going through with it.
>”And out of all the mutants in the world, why did [AoR-Beast] choose you?”Because the plot demanded it?
>”I do know. Because I am Magneto. I am the Master of Metal. And like metal, I endure. Because I must.”Or we can go with that, sure.
>”Are you real? Have I been talking to an old friend? Or have I just been talking to myself?”I think with the whole What If? showcases there, I bet it’s the real deal.
letters
And now for Fantastic Four.
FF will be making a quick visit here during DNX. What was the radical procedure that Reed mentioned they had to do? Let’s find out.
>Thing doesn’t remember who he isHuh?
>Thing’s new name is JohnnyI can already see the jokes coming.
>Torch also doesn’t remember who he isGuess everyone must have lost their memories.
>”You look to me like a Pete. I love a Pete. I think I love a Pete?”I can tell who this line was written for.
>>155674282This issue felt like it was written to bait the cherik shippers into buying copies of the issue
As it usually goes with these stories, we’re spending a chunk of page time for the cast to learn/explore their powers again.
Uh…what is that?
>”That’s catchy. You should say that all the time.”I geddit
>Sue is keeping force-fields in each of their brains…why?
Hey what the hell Ben?
>Without the force-fields in their brains giving them amnesia, they'll start mindlessly attacking each otherI guess amnesia is better than being mindlessly aggressive...
The weird creatures are back…
>”I don’t know how -- or why -- but I believe the four of us have voyaged inside a human body.”I think you can already tell the twist by now.
Yup, the Fantastic Four are doing a Fantastic Voyage inside Magneto.
And now for Uncanny X-Men.
It’s the last issue of this arc. Previously in Uncanny X-Men, Rogue and Gambit temporarily left the team to meet up with Gabriel the Devil-Hunter to deal with the curse of the Eye of Power that Gambit has been struggling with. But when he tries to exorcise Gambit, it instead backfires and makes his condition worse, to the point that they have to travel to Brazil and meet up with Repent, the X-Orcist. After helping Repent with freeing another mutant possessed by a demon, Repent tells them that they needed to travel to the Iron Cathedral to free Gambit from his condition.Meanwhile back in New Orleans, the remaining X-Men encountered the young mutant Howler, who had fled from a mutant-trafficking facility that was affiliated with the Word of Strength cult, and decided to raid their base and free the mutants inside…
>Repent reveals his full name and his originThank you, you made all Marvel Wiki editors happy (I think).
Alright, let’s check back on the X-Men fighting Calamity.
"Fuck them kids" - Calamity, 2026
Logan is not happy with that answer.
Well, I guess we aren’t giving this guy the option to live.If only we could give this treatment to Corinna Ellis…
>>155674557When is this run ending man
Finally, we’re at this place.
>Repent’s mutant power is to turn liquid into holy waterHe should look into vampire hunting as a side-gig. Must be way more profitable than exorcism.
dragon Rogue
Good thing that we’re blowing this place up, but where’s Howler?
Oh, there he is.
Well, that’s that with this facility.
And that’s the end of this plot with Gambit and the curse. I guess this also means that he doesn’t have the Eye of Power anymore.
And now for Tomb of Apocalypse.
Last time, Jubilee and Logan got accidentally teleported by Apocalypse’s device that had landed outside the Haven House to his tomb that was in the process of being raided by Hydra mercenaries. Instead of listening to Apocalypse’s holographic message coming from the device telling them to leave, the duo decide to do a stealth mission when spotting that the Hydra mercs had lots of inhibitor collars. However, the stealth mission ends up going wrong, and they both get trapped inside the tomb separated from each other, with the main entrance blown up. Apocalypse sends another holographic message telling Jubilee that she has to stop the remaining Hydra mercs from stealing the celestial technology inside his tomb, and in return he would guide her out of the tomb as his emissary on Earth. But she is not stopping them alone – Rictor and Shatterstar are also here!
Wait, why are you attacking her?
>They think Jubilee is yet another trap by the tombDon't know if I should question how they got into the tomb in the first place, or why Apocalypse didn't give them a heads-up that Jubilee and Logan are also here.
>”Look, I’m just here to find a way to get in touch with Apocalypse.”And you thought breaking into his tomb was the way to go, and not finding a way to teleport to Arakko or even telepathically contacting him?…I can see why he didn't pick you to be his heir.
>”That’s what happens under Apocalypse’s philosophy. Someone always gets left behind. Someone always has to suffer in order for another to thrive.”Oh, so like how you left Shogo behind? Well I can totally see why he chose you.
Oh no, they found the Hydra mercs.
Right, I forgot that you were also in this mini Logan.
>>155673874boop
>Rictor opened the sarcophagus that Apocalypse told to not openBuddy, you asked for it.
Suddenly, robot
And now for X-Men United.
Previously in X-Men United, a mysterious entity who may be the Shadow King, Shuvahrak or something else entirely attacked Graymatter Lane at three different fronts: trapping a group of X-Men in the pocket realm that they were using to play a game of Ancient Orc Oaken Arclight, teleporting the rest of the X-Men to the Penumbra to be forced to witness their betrayals against mutantkind, and leaving the students alone to fend for themselves as the entity began possessing them at random – all with the goal of sowing distrust between the mutants. But once they were able to force the entity out, they didn’t have much time to reflect when Blade and Wither suddenly came to visit and ask for their help…
12 X-Men!
>”His psi-imprint is different. Even darker, somehow.”That's certainly one way to make the readers be aware that something is up with him.
>Logan fights Blade because he thinks he has been possessed by Varnae againI guess they wanted to have something to happen in the comic that matches the cover, but all it makes me does is realize how Blood Hunt ended up becoming such a nothing event in the end.
Alright, let’s learn what happened to Wither after Krakoa.
>”I heard that Storm had some kind of a sanctuary, but what could I do? Go to a place full of life and destroy it?”Yes, please do that. You'd be doing us all a favor.
Suddenly, vampires
>Wither became a vampireJeez, your life sucks (no pun intended).
>>155673996>Whose side are you onHe said the thing from the other thing!
Suddenly, more vampires
>A mutant that copies vampire powers to turn other people into vampires under her control kidnapped BloodlineI think we can tell who this power copying mutant is.
Oh shit, Dani!
>>155674531Why does this need to be a twist? Doing a Fantastic Voyage is a fine enough plot on it's own. They could just say "Hey F4 I need you to go into magneto" and we'd get the whole thing down in an issue. Also maybe ants?
>>155675201https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Am_Ljw1SmU
So it was Superior that kidnapped Bloodline. Why though?
>>155673874wassup my mugga
Okay, so I guess we’re bringing back Blade’s dad now.>https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Lucas_Cross_(Earth-616)
Next week: Nothing!And that's it! If you liked these, support your LCS or whatever.
>>155675231This was a completely pointless issue because you knew from page 1 what was happening making the whole thing a waste of time.
>>155674557Pietro hasn't done anything in this series except fawn over M
>>155673874bump
>>155675116That wouldn't even work and all the vamps would be dusted, Wither isn't a death touch it's decay his powers work on lumber.
I miss matt fraction, brian wood, kieron gillen, si spurrier and gerry duggan a lot
>>155675628Ever since Blood Hunt it seems like Vamps just need to bite someone to turn themThere's no exchange of blood or temporary death ritual where you have to bury the body or anythingJust one bite and you're infected and will eventually turn Wither's decay touch isn't always instantaneous, sometimes it takes a while to completely drain the life out of something. That's why in House of M he could be paired with Elixir as a torture unit. Wither would decay a prisoner and Elixir would heal them back to health, and they would repeat the process until they got the information they wanted.And why, when he touched Wallflower after Decimation that he destroyed her hand, but didn't kill her instantly.The vampires seem to have a healing factorSo as long as one of the vamps managed hold on long enough to bite him and inject whatever venom it is that turns people, Wither should still turn even if his maker and the other attackers all die
>>155674887Rictor is such a pathetic whiny bitch.>abloobloo why Eugenic Senpai doesn't care about meee?
>>155674282>live
>>155674123so were still not dealing with Chuck Cosmic book being cancelled?
>>155675737I miss when X-men were good
>>155674531Feels like North already had this idea and shoved it into this DNX tie-in
>>155674930Why does this tomb of Apocalypse have stair rails?
>>155675030so an apocalypse made Sentinel?
>>155674942terrible art but side boob
I'm skimming Uncanny purely for Pietro and he's done nothing.
>>155674367Either have Johnny Storm suck a dick already or cut this shit out.
I feel like there's some gap between the events of DNX #2 and the F4 issue that has been skipped
>>155675737Why? Spurrier and Gillen were on the books during Cuckoa and they sucked. Duggan is terrible, Wood and Fraction had shit runs.>>155675553Uncanny is an absolutely awful book. Gail really needs to get chucked.>>155675817Why would you expect Ewing to know any of this or an editor to correct it. Why learn basic facts about the characters they're writing? Do you want to constrain writers or something?
I've been reading Brubaker and Fraction and the San Francisco shilling feels really weird
>>155678357DNX was delayed so tie ins might be fucked.
>>155678448That is where the target audience of X-Men lives
>>155673923>Even the FF are doing the "mutants are a different species" thing.
>>155680429Is Franklin still not a mutant or have they retconned that
>>155674282It's a Wonderful life, staring Max Mustermann
>>155674056>>155674065aww man, now captain nordic chad is going to become mutant ruckus
>>155675021>Did our relationship mean nothing to you, Apocalypse?!Oh, so they really were a thing then?
Anybody know when this will be out?
>>155675030Could have just been "Jubilee" instead of "Tomb of Apocalypse".
>>155675252Im you but better without training is such a boring power
>>155673874reading bump
>>155677810Either you do silly OP speedster things like move your opponent to Antarctica, or you do nothing. And no one really has a wacky or abrasive enough personality to push him beyond his baseline annoyance.
>>155674782And then he left so another version of him could fuck his wife
>>155675263Blades half white?!?
>>155680519Still not a mutant
>>155682059The personality nerf is what's bothering me most. So far his personality this run is just "Monet's supportive boyfriend" barring that one scene with the horse girl
>>155674905Jub is so sexo...
>>155682137He doesn't even feel like he's an actual person but just a prop doormat.
>>155678424>Uncanny is an absolutely awful book. Gail really needs to get chucked.you meant, fridged, right?
Looks like X-Orcists might become an ongoing instead of a mini
>>155682118>Gosh I'll fake myself an x-gene so I'm not the strangest member on this family of NON mutant.Did 4 years old Franklin even knew what a mutant is?
>>155673928some weird fuckin facial expressions in this issue...
>>155675087Always count on Logan to be the dumbest person in the room.
>>155683138Sure, why not.
>>155678424>Spurrier and GillenMate, when I sadi spurrier I was refering to x-force 2013-2014 by spurrir the one with cable and AI Hope Summers and with Gillen to the extintion team. Not to the 2020s stuff that you are talking.
>>155673874Are Trask statues the 616 equivalent of Daughters of the Confederacy?
>>155673911I thought her katana was real?
>>155678448you gotta remember gay rights used to be one of the most visible social issues, so pre-SV SanFran was a lot more prominent nationally.
>>155683138damn I guess Tom Breevort is gone>>155683404How old was he when he was with Kitty in Latveria?
>>155674582wow it's written in correct italian...
>>155674599then the italian lady missed an o in reverendo and pink nightcrawler switched to spanisk for reasons...
>>155674524>>155674531I didn't even realize this would be a DNX tie-in because I guess i scrolled past the cover too fast so the twist did surprise me. I like a good fantastic voyage story.
>>155674764He's so short. I got a boner.
