[QUOTE=H-E-D;4821520]X-Men has explicitly been about done-in-ones since Dawn of X began. I don't know why people expected #6 to be an exception to that.[/QUOTE]
The New Mutants are bringing some Brood and Shi'ar nonsense back with them from space. That seems to be a two-parter
-
At a wager I’m guessing Xavier and Erik aren’t foolish enough to think Orchis would be fully destroyed, so how better to keep tabs than making sure they retreat with all their data on sentinels and proto-novissima to somewhere they already have ears

[QUOTE=Ambaryerno;4821419]It's not about serialzed storytelling or not. It's about having three characters taken off the board without resolution of the plot in a story that MAY be picked up in some other book, while the book the plot was began with suddenly veers off on an unrelated tangent. Maybe. Assuming editorial direction doesn't suddenly change first because it's not like that has NEVER happened before. /s[/QUOTE]
X-Men has been working like this since the Claremont days, more or less. Where have we gotten confirmation that this will for sure not be resolved in the main book? Issue #5 was already following up on something in #1.
Every issue of X-Men so far has been a clear set up for a future subplot. it's too early for any of their resolutions, be it in the main book or elsewhere. And yes, editorial direction could suddenly change that, but that's not easy to predict. And it's not fair to have authors wrap up stories quicker than they want or not play the long game at all for fear of what MIGHT happen.

Yeah...
It's like talking into wind...a wind of "What-ifs" and "Maybes"
...and certainly not worth the effort or energy.

I feel like I've been ready for this forever. so surreal its finally coming.
I would absolutely DIE for an issue where the winter council goes back to orchis forge. imagine the dynamic! too juicy

An issue devoted to disney gay Mr. Sinister, 90s saintly Exodus, and chaotic femme fatale Mystique????’Yes PLEASE.

[QUOTE=MarvelMaster616;4820554]More Mystique can only help this series. Usually, it's only a matter of time before Mystique does something that royally screws up the X-Men's goals. It's just a matter of how much fun she has along the way.[/QUOTE]
I think, just this once, I want her to screw things up because frankly what I am most waiting for is when she finds out Moira, Xavier, and Lensherr screwed her over and she makes her displeasure known before bringing Destiny back somehow.

Yeah, I'm waiting for that moment too. The setup is there. It's a given that Mystique isn't going to be patient with them. And even if Destiny is somehow brought back, then that'll expose some of the dirty secrets that Xavier and Moira have been keeping. Mystique will find a way to exploit that. She always does. And it's usually a spectacle to behold.

orchis right in issue 1
arrako in issue 2 and excalibur inderectly.

Yes, Fire on the playground!! Mistique is alread not trustworthy but now she have all reasons to betray krakoa

During today's X-Men Monday about Rogue and Gambit, Mystique came up:
[B]Kelly[/B]: Mystique sidebar–you and I were talking earlier about how much we both loved X-Men #6–I think we both admitted to screaming with glee at a certain panel/line. Mystique fans are finally getting fed! Wooo!
[B]Tini[/B]: Oh hell yes. HELL YES.

Yup! Another intriguing plot point to be explored. So much juiciness!

Loving the fact that Xavier and Magneto's entire "plan" seemingly rides on Orchis not having security cameras and/or not bothering to investigate Mystique's inexplicable detour, lol.
