Still waiting for Kate get a straw hat and scream "Kaizoku Ou ni, Ore wa naru"
I’m pretty sure Shaw is only responsible for black market dealings with the drugs. Emma is responsible for the public corporate stuff while also directing the Marauders. Kitty may be Red Queen but she’s still a captain so it’s her responsibility to help smuggle mutants out of non-treaty countries.
Predictions and hopes:
Black Bishop - Miss Sinister
Black Knight - Lady Mastermind
Red Bishop - Rachel Grey
Red Knight - My heart wanna say Magik but I don't think so.
White Knight should be Julian Keller (Hellion)
Ok thats just wishful thinking.
Kate and her dialogue are not good right now. She's just an obnoxious drunk and not likeable.
Shaw looks dumb and incompetent. Emma and Shaw undermining each other instead of trying to work together just seems silly and counterproductive. Like forced political drama.
The tattoo scene .... why? What was the point? I already hate Pyro's face tattoo it just looks really bad.
They find Bishop .... then teleport away ignoring what Bishop was even doing. What was the point?
Then there's the everyone kisses everyone. Just feels more like forced hey everyone is into partying and drunkenness.
The art in Excalibur was pretty good but here it just feels off. Like especially Bishop and Gateway. Then Kate kinda looks stick figurish at times.
She's meming now....rut roh
Captain, in Order to build a better world, sometimes means tearing the old one down... And that makes enemies.
I would imagine Sebastian would recruit those who he feels are loyal to him but I don't have time to go figure out the state of his friendships these days to see who would best fit.
As for Kate, well it would make sense she recruits those from the cast. I don't think they are going to leave out anyone important, so that means Ororo, Bob, and Lucas. There are only two positions, so those guesses that Ororo becomes Lord Imperial are probably good. Bob becomes the Red Bishop because that would match him up with Christian. So that leaves Lucas as the Red Knight.
And then I notice that Lucas is not even listed in the cast for the book and just give up with thinking about it.
edit to add: obvious twist is Emma recruits Bob as White Knight.
Dont like it. It’s trying too hard and the Emma vs Shaw angle is so played out.
Kitty is just...written for the Twitter crowd or something
Storm continues her characterization of window dressing.

This book is just X-Men Gold 2.0 imo. I wish Storm and Bishop were on a different book... X-Force maybe.
