[Infernal-Ginger]

No Elizabeth? Does this happen before or after Madripoor? Really hope she isn't cut out of this storyline.

[Tycon]

Oof. Any deaths?

[Cerridwen]

Any Rachel/Jean moments?

[Harpsikord]

No. Angel does get napped and his wings get torn off, though.

Any Rachel/Jean moments?

Together or separately?

Rachel and Teen Jean have individual moments in this issue but adult Jean doesn't do a lot. There's an Adult Jean/Teen Jean moment. But otherwise, no.

I read the issue. I won't spoil it, but things escalated really quickly in the best possible way. There's a lot of drama, anger, and high emotions of all kinds. What more could you want in an X-men comic?

I just love how positive your posts are Good work.

spoilers:

Expected: Young Angel and Hank being the next two to be tranqed. Like Bobby, their actual character development has been pretty thin and it's no shock they're being taken out early in favor of characters with more dramatic potential. Only Angel gets grabbed, though. Unexpected: Young Cable standing by while young Angel gets his wings hacked off. Seems like he's invested in getting the 05 back to as close as default settings as possible before sending them back. Which should be interesting when it comes to Beast and his dabbling in magic. Other interesting bits: Shatterstar shows up as part of the "avenge Cable!" squad; Jeen decides she wants to work with them over the rest of the X-Men. Ahab attacks the school, and it seems mutants can be turned into Hounds if they're bitten by an existing Hound, as happens to OML. Young Cable also attacks the school to get at the 05, but it's more a desperation move than anything else. Strong second issue - lots of action, more clues dropped (those French kids are almost certainly spies), nice bit of story advancement, and the art is still kick ass.

end of spoilers

Wow. This issue was awesome. Loving this series so far. NuCable is ruthless, and is definitely a younger OG Cable. Not some alternate timeline version. I still hope this ends with him being aged (and bulked) up or the older version restored. Either way.

I'm sorry.But what is the GMT?

2pm British Summer Time - ten minutes ago! Which means you can now go ahead and make that new thread.

Any Rachel/Jean moments?

Rachel actually gets some nice moments in this

Rachel actually gets some nice moments in this

She sits behind the desk like an adult and actually makes sense.

[Gambit, King of Thieves]

She sits behind the desk like an adult and actually makes sense.

well, that's nice compared to Rachel's status quo

[Arachne]

She sits behind the desk like an adult and actually makes sense.

I may have to read it just for that.

[WhiteQueenEmmaFrost]

I may have to read it just for that.

Adult Jean, O5 Jean and Rachel were all there and Rachel actually got a few moments where she was her own character, her own history, and wasn't whining about saving her mother. It's one of the few times I actually liked her as a character. They're tying her into this quite well.

[Arachne]

Sounds good. I miss Rachel being a good character.

That final page was great! Really excited for #3 now!
