X-MEN #2 Arakko Review *spoilers*

[FIGHT]

Does kid Cabl3 have TO virus?

We were swimming down **** Creek until the Arrkoa (whatever) stuff started happening.

6/10.

I don't know why this was not the single point of conversation in the preview thread discussing the issue.

Jean? Emma? Wolverine? Come on, Hickman, don't tease us.

The next issue cover shows him riding a dinosaur with Emma Frost, but I think Hickman is still trolling the online fandom and we will probably have to wait a while before we get any resolution on this issue.

I said in the other thread but I really enjoyed this issue. I loved the banter, the use of Rachel, and Scott being a good dad/leader. I also liked the Summoner and the parts about the island and the history with Apocalypse. So far I've enjoyed most of Dawn of X. All the books are so different which makes it so good.

Great issue and I love the set up for future stories

I really dislike Hickman's Cable though. Not a fan of how he writes him at all.

[Triniking1234]

Does kid Cabl3 have TO virus?

Yes. Since it's still the Nathaniel that was infected by Apocalypse and taken into the future by the Askani in X-Factor.

Does kid Cabl3 have TO virus?

Cable had it from a baby so probably.

>Cyke's dad humour made me chuckle.
>Nate giving an unknown a grenade and Rachel forgetting her telepathy made me sad.
>The art was OK.
>The summoner, his symbol, and this whole magic flora and fauna situation remind me heavily of Ex Nihilo and Hickman's Avengers... and not in a good way.
>That gave new meaning to 'sex on the beach'.

Favourite panels...

Yes, he has TO virus.

[spirit2011]

Does kid Cabl3 have TO virus?

Yes. Tha tis why his TP and TK aren't so well developped and he has to use big guns

kid cable did the stupidiest thing ever in this issue

[tuck frump]

Probably the single worst issue of Dawn of X.

The dialogue is stiff, my memory is so short I need to be reminded that Scott is a father on every page.

Kid Cable is a moron who needs to die.

The highlights of this issue or single best scene is between Apocalypse and the Summoner.

Scotts statement wasn't the talk of the preview thread because its actually insinuated that the situation is more complex but he will simplify it for the summoner

It really was ****. Rachel has to be reminded she's a telepath in every mission no matter the writer. Bring in Emma.

[Havok83]

Yes. Since it's still the Nathaniel that was infected by Apocalypse and taken into the future by the Askani in X-Factor.

Cable had it from a baby so probably.

We saw this in X-Force when he lost control and was almost taken over by it completely

[Glio]

By the way, how old is Rachel supposed to be? Starting from that according to Hickman, Scott is 30 years old.

[powerpax]

AFAIC Scott is in his mid thirties. Rachel is maybe 23-25.

[CGAR]

The last pages of this issue save it for me. The Summer's bonding could have been executed better imo.

You guys also have to remember Hickman thinks Scott should be early 30s.

But JDW trumps this and this his very late 20's

[Havok83]

Ya'll are gonna need to stop being so fixated on age. Hickman made that very irrelevant with the whole resurrection protocols and people being able to be aged physically and mentally to whatever they feel optimal. Its kinda moot now. Scott can be mid 20s and 30s and that technically not contradict anything
