Emma steals the show again, though I did enjoy everyone in this. Happy to see Bishop with the crew.
Now I'm ready to see the rest of the Hellfire Club spots get filled !

Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
"I wish I could live life five times over!
Then I’d be born in five different places,
and I’d stuff myself with different food from around the world.
I’d live five different lives with five different occupations...
and then, for those five times...
I’d fall in love with the same person..."

I loved when Storm was doing a mantra out loud about not killing Batroc, haha, she wanted to hurt him so bad and was trying restrain herself from deleting him from existance. Then Pyro getting upset that Batroc hit his "Mom"! Lol, Pyro always needs a mother figure, Mystique, Destiny, and now Storm, lol!

With Xavier dead it seems like they're gonna start ressurecting people without his approval
Destiny and Jason Wyngarde next
I just want to know.
Is anyone bothered that Batroc beat Iceman, Storm and Pyro???
Because honestly, i'm not all that bothered by it.......
Ok Marauders is definitely one of my favorite DoX titles is freaking hilarious not to mention the action scenes with Kate are freaking stellar. So visceral and brutal. I'm liking this new personality from Kate. Is it ooc? Yep. But I say it's a hell of a lot better then what we've gotten from her in the past. I like that she's fully embracing this swashbuckling persona.
I am not worried about, with so many upcoming covers featuring Storm, she is most certainly going to get her chance to truly shine very soon.
These first two issues just set up the current status quo of the HFC and what Kate's role in things is (Red Pirate Queen Kate!!) and then move forward from here.
I loved everyone drooling over the boat that Emma bought for Kate, that was too funny.
Another thing I noticed is that Kate was way more in the loop about things than I first thought, Emma was keeping her posted about everything, and then they moved together at the right moment to introduce Kate as the new Red Queen. But it appears that Kate and Emma stay in telepathic contact regularly. Also the fact that Emma arranged for Gateway is showing that she wants to make sure Kate has access to travel and a way to get around. It's almost like Emma is treating Kate like a favoured daughter in some ways!
The panels with the Cuckoos was obviously nothing to do with the Red Court, and it was Emma trying to get them to join her White Court as either the Bishop or Knights. It might have been the Bishop position, and when the Cuckoos turned her down she asked Christian to be the White Bishop!

How long has Xavier been dead for anyway? The books seem to follow each other chronologically which means X-men #2 and Fallen Angels #1 have already happened so why is Xavier still dead by the time Marauders comes around? You would think one of the leaders of Krakoa would get top billing on the resurrection list.
I'm not sure it's OOC, so much as we're finally seeing oh so poised and perfect Kitty react to all the **** that's gone down lately: the pressure of leadership, flaking out on her own wedding, being helpless to stop the end of the world (plus the mindfuck of AoXM), and the school getting blown up on her watch. And for the cherry on top, mutant paradise doesn't want her. I'm pretty sure Duggan's setting her up for a fall.
According to HoXPoX, the resurrection process takes about 48 hours, they also need to repair the Cerebro helmet and (probably) Jean needs to familiarize and train herself with the process. There is also no indication that FA, X-Men, and Marauders aren't taking place concurrently.
I need Kate, St. John, and Tabby drunk off their asses and bullying sailors.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
