HOUSE OF x [06] : I AM NOT ASHAMED [SPOILERS]

**Silver Fang** · 10-02-2019, 05:08 AM

For quick review, I go back & forth on 3 or 2.5 of 5.

Love Rectangle
Logan, Scott, Emma, and Jean are getting along well. Which is fishy and does bring up some possibility to Sinister Secret #5 for them. Polyamory or equal cheating. lol.

Cameos
Nice to have it confirmed that Skin & Synch are back. It's too bad Monet was left out given her romantic history with Synch. You'd think they'd have gone to the celebration together.

On Sabretooth
Narrative wise it makes sense for Hickman to get rid of him given the character has become rather useless over the years. While Hickman didn't do him any justice, he at least euthanized him to keep him off the table until something interesting or good can be done, which it may take to write him out of this,

In-story wise it makes sense given the way he's been written as a villain the last few years. He has no sense of subtly and simply can't cooperate or even pretend to like his smarter self from the 90's. He's a meathead and liability in any situation, so there's no point keeping him around. The flaw however was execution. Magneto sends him on a mission he had no business on just to punish him when he does the only thing he is good for these days, lol Unless it was a not-so-subtle way to get rid of him.

Also, now some can finally stop complaining about him getting off free. I think it was obvious he'd be punished for his crimes. Unlike Mystique, he doesn't get away with anything (everything in her case). It was only a matter of time. And clear it was gonna be lasting when he's been absent from anything related to DOX.

It does seem pretty nonsensical to send Creed to deal with Damage Control.

It's damage control. Glob could handle them.

So, killing mutants is okay.
Selene likes it.

**Veitha** · 10-02-2019, 05:12 AM

They all are friendssssss now

I kind of want to be part of Scott Summer's ex girlfriends club now.

Oh come on they also sent Mystique and Toad there as well because they get the job done and can be covert when they need to be. Sabertooth got blood thirsty and killed needlessly and punished for it the same would have happened to Toad or Mystique had they acted in that manner.

If only Birdie or Feral were there.

Killing mutants is ok as they are immortal. Killing someone mortal is unforgivable

yeah, but those two make sense for a tech based spy mission.

Creed? Not so much.

I mean it's the same reason why you send Wolverine on covert missions he can be stealthy when he wants to be because of his heightened senses but can als turn into a rage berserk monster.

But I agree with Silver Fang's analysis.

Did you read the issue? He murdered humans. He broke the law.

A law is only a law when a majority of the council says it should be law.
Why would killing mutants be alright?

Its literally why the Krakoan nation was created.

Youre nitpicking at something minute. Pick something else from the issue.

Mystique & Toad were all that was needed. Again what did Creed contribute that he needed to be on that mission? Mystique's powers make her a valuable infiltration specialist while being the leader. Meanwhile Toad was brains who did the hacking.

Outside of killing humans, Creed has no skills, talent, or intelligence for anything else, So unless he was set up to fail & be disposed of by Magneto, it made no sense. The X-Factor approach would've been better, Put a restraining device on him & keep him locked up but let out if a human ever does needs killing. Even that is less contrived, lol

Gas to the Flame: How about whoever/any hoo-munz that were uh...unceremoniously..... "DISPATCHED"(?)... on the satellite base?

Monet probably shredded a soldier or two during her razor'ed rage.

**Desmark** · 10-02-2019, 05:25 AM

You bet that the inhabitants are indulging in exotic Kraokan products and are consequently are all pleasantly buzzed or else no way would some of them bs in the same place without tensions running high. Mutant Party Machines go for it. You have earned this moment for all the shit in your lives. I would have thought some mutants like gambit sinister Apocalypse and the like will have taken this opportunity to melt away and form coalitions but Hickman probably wanted his Hixmen to have this moment without any ominous foretelling.

A law is a law when the bill is passed.
Sabertooth broke a order, not a law because the bill wasn't passed as in a law wasn't made before sabertooth killed the flatscans.

**Andru** · 10-02-2019, 05:26 AM

So when do we get a scene with Cyke, Bishop, Gorgon, & Illyana? Need that ASAP please!

This issue answered a lot of questions for me, so I was pretty satisfied when I finished.

They are still doing a great job of not revealing the sinister diamond on Xavier's forehead
