And a sizeable percentage are vocal fans of a certain mutant...

People keep bringing up the Dune comparison, but there are three reasons that it doesn't sway me:

1. Comics are not books. It's a different style of storytelling.
2. You don't have to wait N...

"Keep reading! It will be worth it in the end!"

I heard that with Coates.

I heard that with Ridley.

I heard that with Ewing.

And every single time, the "slow burn" fizzled out.

More that flashback story where the Soulsword existed before Illyanna created it, and also why Illyanna could be wielding the Soulsword but NOT ruling Limbo (as seen in New Mutants a brief while...

True, but Prometheus has nothing to do with Otherplace. :)

Because I'm bored, and have a few spare moments, I'm toying with a new explanation for the Soulsword that is divorced from having to explain why Illyana is still alive (because, of course, she is).

I've wanted to see the return of "spy-fi" 'Berto since Time Runs Out. We never DID get to see what he did as "Citizen X", but I liked the idea so much I used that scene as my avatar. :)

Not so much appearances as backstory. On the one hand, 'Yana created it during her training. But on the other, it's tied to Limbo and the symbol of its monarch (see various issues of Excalibur).
...

The light blue energy one. It's a useful balance between "useful sword" and "psychic lightsaber".

Speaking of which... I wonder if anyone still remembers the Two Soulswords Theory I came up with...

There's a difference between a generic event and specifically referencing that universe. Especially since the comic in question diverged from continuity fairly sharply.

Really, the primary reason...

In brief:

It's revealed on the last page that the Drummer is Jakita Wagner. Specifically, the Jakita Wagner from Planetary who is looking for Elijah Snow, which suggests that somehow between the...

I'm really REALLY not happy that the writers chose to

Take away the happy ending of Planetary #27

I don't CARE how meta it is.

The Shroud has been C-list since his creation. That being said, he has a unique take on superheroics and a great look.

It's a pity that he's been written as somewhat delusional (and borderline...

There were a few clues, but honestly, until the preview for this issue, there was still room for doubt.

Of course, we still don't know WHY. :)

It's nice that I guessed right, but I'm not sure if the fact that I'm starting to understand how Jed thinks is a good thing or a bad one. ;-)

Why are so many of Kitty Pryde's boyfriends named Peter (or a variation thereof)?

Piotr Rasputin
Pete Wisdom
Peter Quill
even Peter Parker (over in the original Ultimate Universe).

Priest, Hudlin & Liss. The McDuffie run on FF.

The Secret Invasion arc by Aaron, and the King in Black tie-in.

That's basically it.

Nikki Adams while he was in college (as per the Priest run)

Monica Lynne starting in 1969 until the aforementioned Priest run. They were even engaged at one point.

And Malaika, during the...

Because that would mean that Wakandans actually accomplished something positive, instead of being imperialist colonizers who created a dictatorship based on weaponized amnesia.

Much of the issue is about the supporting cast saving his tail, ending up with a friggin' CARE BEARS ending.

"We are all protectors of Wakanda." He can't even keep THAT lane.

I'm still trying to parse that dialogue. There seems to be a disconnect between "No weapon would be suitable" and "Today, you starve".

Also, we've achieved Iron Panther, apparently.

If Storm is such a critical part of the BP franchise, why have almost all her appearances since at least 2021 been in the X-office?

Why was she allowed to be an absolute monarch of a PLANET but...

The thing is, some of us have been burned by "just wait and see!" once too often. If you want us to read the next issue, MAKE us want to know what happens. Don't just assume we'll meekly wait for...

A minor problem with using Dune as a framework: The protagonists don't actually win in the long run.
