Uncanny X-Men #18 spoilers and discussion

[jalsrix]

The X-Men fights the Marauders. Soon afterwards, Blockbuster denied they killed the Marauders again. Chamber didn't believe him and let out a blast to incinerate all of them.

A half burnt Harpoon stabbed Chamber from behind when Scott tried to stop him from killing the Marauders. Hope blast Harpoon in the head and all of the Marauders are dead.

They teleport back to find Sinister burning their bar hideout to avenge the dead Marauders. Juggernaut went to rescue any survivors and could only find Warlox (Warlock and Madrox) and Dark Beast. Kwannon was missing.

Havok finally managed to blast Sinister's clones and Sinister gave up/surrenders. Havok used too much force and that made his body translucent.

They all teleport back to a new building that Karma built for them after she recovered her funds and people.

Karma quits the team giving the reason that most of her friends are dead i.e. Rahne, Roberto, Guido, Chamber. She mentioned that Rahne hates her because of something Karma did (maybe in War of Realms or New Mutants Dead Souls) and Rahne died with hatred in her eyes. Karma mentioned Dani is her only friend left.

Karma also adopts Shogo since Chamber is dead and Jubilee assumed dead.

The cliff-hanger is when Emma is seeing talking with Mystique that everything is according to plan. Mystique then receives a call from Scott.

Another emotional issue just like last issue. RIP Rahne and Chamber.
