I guess by the preview that Psylocke will be the one who hears Akihiro asking for help and that's how she'll end up joining the team. I'm curious if X-Factor's status will be addressed here[/QUOTE]
Oh that makes sense! Aurora and Somnus probably tag alone because it's Daken in danger, and then I'm assuming Tempo is just finally taking up Kate's offer from her guest appearance in the last volume.

Wait, so the Marauders are going to fight [I]Zack Snyder’s Justice League’s[/I] Steppenwolf? How does DC or Zack Snyder feel about this? ;)

Ok this looks even more awesome than before! I love the art and I really like this team. That panel of Kate and Brimstone firing up is beautiful.

That muthafuckah with the rake charging at Somnus better back off! Landscaping piece of sh!t. I hope Somnus has some kind of "put them to sleep" power so he can slap that betch into a short coma or something and teach them a lesson in their dreams.

This sounds weird, but I hope he doesn't. I just want him to just punch people really hard and knock them out. He wouldn't even need to use his power because he just straight-up beats the crap out of people.

My only criticism so far is SOMNUS, PUT ON SOME SHOES WHEN ADVENTURING! Mutant resurrection is no excuse to go walking around possibly stepping on rusty nails just because you can. C'mon, my man.

It's Brimstone Love from X-Men 2099, somehow in the present-day Marvel timeline. Would be interesting to see how that connects.

I just realized… what happened to Kitty’s curly hair??

I do hope someone gives Tempo a new costume. That gilded Rooster thing has got to go!

Regarding Kate and Bishop, forget the romance angle for a moment, I just hope that now that Bishop is Captain Commander, Orlando establishes him as the captain of whatever new ship the Marauders are operating out of.
In Duggan's Marauders, it annoyed me to no end that Bishop was not the captain of the Marauder (not leader of the team mind you, I get that it's a Kate led book, just captain of the boat Marauder).
In the HTC White House, the White Queen (Emma) directed affairs from the White Palace, the White Bishop (Christian) was captain of the boat (The Mercury) and the White Knight (Callisto) was security.
In the HTC Black House, the Black King (Sebastian) directed affairs from Blackstone, the Black Bishop (Shinobi) was captain of the boat (The Upstart) and the Black Knights (Fenris) were security.
Yet in the HTC Red House, the Red Queen (Kate) was both directing affairs AND the captain of the boat (The Marauder) while the Red Bishop (Lucas) was security and the Red Knight position was empty.
One of the reasons I think Duggan had Emma and Sebastian leave the Hellfire Trading Company at the end of his run was because he knew IXM will focus on their QC status so he wanted to open up their HTC positions to other characters.
Currently Kate is a member of the Quiet Council, leader of the Red House of Hellfire Trading, leader of the Marauders and captain of the (currently burnt) Marauder.
That is too many hats for one character and this will inevitably skew the narrative towards her at the expense of the other characters, much like what happened in Duggan's book.
Bishop should be the captain of the new ship, Tempo should be the Red Knight who is in charge of the ship's security and Kate can stay as the leader of the Marauders who reaches out to the mutants who need rescuing.
That'll balance things out.

I think the rooster thing is supposed to be a clock's cog.
One way they can make the costume cooler is by having it spin while she uses her powers.
EDIT: Maybe the gold color is a bit too gaudy as well. They should try something like a dark red armor, similar to Bishop's coat.
