X-MEN/FF #1 REVIEW 2.0 (Spoilers)

[Iron Maiden]

AFAIK, Magik and Doom have met only once in Excalibur #36-38. and he snatched the Soulsword from her like candy from a baby to deal with some demons in Other Place. She was obviously much less experienced then. Doom was after the mystical Promethium metal to use as an energy source for Latveria.

[JB]

Oooh I love this Doom/Kitty flashback. Should be an interesting conversation between them next issue.

(Iron Maiden, that's actually Kitty as she had the sword for a short time. Don't know if Doom and Illyana have ever tangled.)

[danielsan52]

Is her costume morphing?

[JB]

Is her costume morphing?

Yeah she had a different look when wielding the sword.



And I don't know what Brian is wearing but it needs to be mandatory in exchange for allowance to step foot on Krakoa.

[Iron Maiden]

Wait, Illyana was murdered by The Beyonder??? that's nuts.

Oh, you are right. my bad. Lockheed being there should have clued me in. It had been a while since I read that.

[Ravin' Ray]

Wait, Illyana was murdered by The Beyonder??? that's nuts.

The entire New Mutants were annihilated by the Beyonder and then resurrected by him in Secret Wars II #9.

[Iron Maiden]

Thanks Ray. I never did follow all the SW II tie ins. I found them to be mostly disappointing

[Abe]

Val, Kate, Ororo. A lot of old friends to meet again for Victor in next issue !

I don't know if Ororo going to me very thrilled with Doom these days.

On the public knowing that Franklin is a mutant:

On the public knowing that Franklin is a mutant:

Very interesting, thanks. I wonder how they ended up addressing the "growing mass hysteria".

[Ravin' Ray]

It was Psycho-Man's doing. Once the FF defeated his new Hate Monger android New York went back to its "less" hateful self.

[Ravin' Ray]

I wish somebody reminded Kitty who saved her life way back then.



Yes, Reed refused at first to act, but that was because of doubts caused by the fake diary planted by Doom.

[pkingdom]

What are everyone's thoughts on Kitty? She's the most reasonable one, but on a second read I look at her more negatively. She's clearly been brought on to play good cop, but with everything else she feels a little disingenuous. She's being used, but she should realize that. I'm having trouble putting it into words, but I had dim view of her actions on a second read.

[Hulkout42]

Well, of course, she is being used as it's all part of Xavier's game plan to get Frankie, and the sad part is that given the timeline and the utter lack of anything character-related this will not have an iota of impact in the main storyline.
