    Default Marauders #4 Pillows, Fish and the return of [Redacted] *spoilers*

    Two returns actually!

    Spoilers below!!!

    We get another datapage from the same X-Desk guy as in the other issues, the one who has been monitoring the Marauders. He says a couple interesting things:
    - They suspect there's a third boat doing the smuggling other than the Marauder's boat and Shinobi's frigate. So I guess Christian Frost has been doing some dirty work as well.
    - Emma Frost and Jumbo Carnation have been together shopping at the Manhattan fashion district, buying White and Red clothes (I was right about Jumbo being behind Emma's various outfits). They're surprised to see Jumpo since he had been reported dead long ago, and they suspect mutants are doing something aking to time travel (we know from X-Force that Resurrections are not public).
    -The guy who is writing demands more money and more bodies.

    We see the preview pages. One more page shows Ororo striking the Brazilian supersoldier with a bolt of lightning that fuses the sand around him into glass. Pretty cool. The young mutants are escorted through a Krakoan gate.

    Bishop and Kitty are on their mission in Tapei, investitating the disappearance of the billionaire Lim Zhao. They infiltrate his wife's house while she's at another rally and find him prisoner inside his own home.

    Turns out he is part of The Order of X, the group of homo superior worshippers that we've seen harass Shaw and Shinobi in the previous issue. Hearing Xavier's voice in their head apparently made some humans think he was God (this is going to spark some heated conversations in this forum I think). His wife used this to blame mutants since she pretty much hates them.

    Before they can rescue him, two Lady Deathstrike lookalikes appear and attack them (getting more Homo Novissima feels here). They fight them and Kitty's noise gets broken again (I guess it's a gag).

    She asks Bishop to join her as her Red Bishop because she needs people she can trust in the Hellfire Company but he says no. In the meantime Kitty mauls one of the Lady Deathstrike girls by phasing a pillow inside of her. It was kind of brutal to tell the truth. It is implied that she could have dephased the pillow out but she didn't want to.

    They get Lim and bring him directly to his wife while she's headlining another anti Krakoa debate. She gets exposed in front of everyone and she goes away.

    Datapage with Bishop and Hank McCoy conversation. They talk about the Deathstrike augmentations and Hank tells Bishop to accept the role of Red Bishop.

    Mrs.Zao arrives in Madripoor and she meets with some allies that might help her against Krakoa and to exact her vengeance against that public humiliation... The freaking Hellfire Brats are back. The White Queen kid asks her to become her White Bishop.

    Next: the Battle of Madripoor Bay.
