Opening this up from the preview thread.
So. Thoughts on Anole and company preparing to go out with a bang? Think the kid will go through with it?

I doubt it.
Very consistent story.
You get Blob's pov being the only one who knows the truth. Trying to find someone he can trust to help him save his friend Anole.
Armor difficulty to assimilate all the lies.
And Anole discovering the real intensions of the cult.
The connections this title had with X-tremists last issue, and now with X-tracts were very well done.
Enjoyed Skids cameo.

So instead of phoenix, Hope used the life seed to activate new mutants
Also, I wonder if the fact that Anole and Rockslide are still in school, while Hellion and Surge have careers means there's some kind of work program young mutants can do as an alternative.
Hope Abbott's triumphant return!
And look, it's Brittonic! <3
Though I wish she had more lines.
A WILD HI FI sighting!
Captain, in Order to build a better world, sometimes means tearing the old one down... And that makes enemies.
I wonder if the Hope of Age of X-Man story will then converge with what we know of the actual Hope in Uncanny, even if it is thematically. It can not be a coincidence that after so many years in the shadows she is now in both series.
Who was the girl in purple? She reminded me of Glazing Nightshade
Not sure how I feel about using the term "pre-disposed to act that way" to describe why Anole is buckling against this society.
Maybe Cessily, Noriko and Julian are supposed to be a year older than Santo and Victor, which is why they've already graduated from the Institute and are now working in entertainment (or as a bouncer)
I thought it might be Gazing Nightshade's teammate Whisper Doll
My favorite part of the issue.
Ok, technically that didn't happen, but the artwork practically screams it.
Well done To.

Enjoyed the issue, To's art is a highlight. I'm glad the book isn't as Glob-centric as the solicits and interviews made it seem. I actually like the pixie cut on Armor. It's weird seeing Rockslide be so studious. Looks like the purple flame guy isn't Match like we assumed. Anole can't catch a break, responsible for the eradication of mutants in the 616 and now getting caught up in a bomb plot (although I don't think he'll go through with it). Also that "predisposed" bit about Anole was odd, was that Brisson's clunky attempt to acknowledge that queer people in AoXM would intuitively be pissed about having their identities erased, or am I reading to much into it?
