But we can have lengthy discussions about our Sex Cult...all night and all day.

Most definitely, we can always talk about the Nation of Krakoa and our not so secret Sex Cult with lots of pretty beautiful flowers.

Looks great

Decent enough for Land, but it kinda looks like he forgot to bend her fingers around whatever rubble she's placing her hands on.

That's a copy from the Avengers Academy AvX cover

Nice Cover, looks Cool.

Like the manspreading, the injuries are a way of asserting dominance over her older former kidnapper in order to attract Emma as a mate. It is imperative that Kate show that she is the apex best girl before Em can acknowledge Storm. I predict that once the proper framework has been established, Kitty will formally declare her bisexuality and interest in Emma using the secret mating call, "I'M GAY!"

That mating call......... where have I heard that before...........
.........
HOLY...! wait a second, is Northstar gay? I was wondering what it meant when he shouted that! That would *really* make sense of a lot of inexplicable behavior from him over the years. I’m thinking Marjorie Liu’s Astonishing run...

hmmm makes me wonder if all the new books are going to have data pages by Muller. Or on the other hand, maybe not even Hickman's books will -- that could have been a special thing for the higher-priced HOX/POX run. Probably still plenty of elements for Muller to design either way. I wonder if they'll all be using mixed-case lettering too.

I’m pretty sure Muller has said he’ll be doing data pages in Dawn of X, but I can’t recall if it was just for X-Men or for the whole line.

I hope they’ll all use mixed case. It feels right.

I just realized that Shaw and Emma are playing either Battleship or Risk in the Hellfire Club parlour and Emma is winning, of course Emma is illegally using Kitty's pieces on the board because Kitty went to the bathroom and said Emma could have her turn:

[Frobisher]

So, are we going with Kimma or Emty?

[RachelGrey]

So, are we going with Kimma or Emty?

haha, I had to think about what you were asking at first. Haha.

Kimma has a nice ring to it. For some reason I want it to be Kemma, just because I think they use all of Emma's name in every portmanteau.

[Devaishwarya]

Going by Duggan's twitter response that cover was a not so subtle clue as to Kitty's Red Queen status.

Its one sound off of Scemma, but yeah it sounds nice.

In retrospect, yeah, it does seem kinda obvious.

[The tall man]

I hope Shaw is used well in this book and not treated as a buffoon or cartoon character constantly being made a fool of by Emma. The man should be seen as a formidable opponent and a dangerous antagonist not to be taken lightly. I hope we see him scheming and plotting and even occasionally getting the better of Emma and Kitty. Shaw should be a major force that rivals Emma in both the business/economic and political world. He needs to regain some of his lost cred and show his power and influence again. Now I know I'm probably asking too much and Shaw will continue to be bested by Emma but I hope not. Let the man become a major figure again, let him be competent and intelligent and let him have some victories; no matter how minor they may be. Dont let become a joke character like Sabretooth, only in the book to be a clown and constantly failing and being made a fool of. Yes Emma is the star but let Shaw have his moments too.

[TOTALITY]

Emty is more apt if the creators start actively queer-baiting with no intention of fulfilling anything.. (Though right now it’s still entirely fan driven, so way too soon to hold it against them when they needn’t lift a finger to encourage it.) Solution: give those two some unresolved tension if you want, but actually let them, or at least Kitty, be textually queer in the meantime so those hopes don’t rest entirely on one never-gonna-happen, slightly problematic ship.

Whoa, ships full of ships, the layers! Look out Moby Dick here come the X-Men!
