Domino and Colossus’s late night art crit was hot.
When did Colossus die? Did he even die, and this Peter is not the real deal? That would not make sense. I kind of like to keep guessing, but as usual, I have a bad feeling about this...
Shout out to the real Mr. and Mrs. X, Colossus and Domino.
Good issue, but Bazaldua should stick to teen titles.

I guess I was wrong in guessing Lord Deathstrike that Aaron created in his Wolvie run was the assassin.
This was a solid issue, but the Domino stuff was simply nice action stuff. The real meat was in the issues of trauma over repeated action in hostile territories, and how even resurrection doesn't get around the fact that this immortality could come with a terrible mental burden. Being resurrected and not moments after that knowing that if you don't repeatedly sacrifice yourself you're doing a disservice to mutants abroad. They don't have memories of their deaths, but going through that too many times might make them inured to death, potentially leading to reckless behavior and tactics.
The second part that just makes me shake my head is Beast's actions. I understand trying to use surveillance on enemies to get a jump on potential hostile action, but bugging groups that would gladly help you saving people if you asked? That's how you make enemies. It starts the relationship on a bad, mistrustful foot.
Not a fan of the art as much as I was before. And Colossus dying was a huge plot point again relegated to a data page. Absolutely have to stop putting important character moments like that in data pages, especially when the character had last been seen alive and taken to Krakoa. Why did he need to be resurrected if he was out of danger?
Urk. Nice to see Neena and Piotr interacting because they tend to mesh well, but hope they show more than that.
Another solid issue. Excited to learn more about new Domino and it was great to see Colossus again. Beast is really going all in on his spy craft, bad news for the rest of the world.
Oscar obviously didn't make and shouldn't have made everyone as cute as in Mr. & Mrs. X, and I simultaneously miss that and love the art

Domino spread wide with the word "doosh" over her head made me chuckle a bit.
Then it about beast loving a handwritten letter made me think of the time he sent a letter to Hope and I chuckled.
Story was on point, per usual. Ben Percy is that dude.
Love this issue. I really like the interaction of Domino and Collossos at the beach and how Percy handled PTSD.
And Domino doing her best James Bond was so good!

According to Percy, Colossus did not die. They made a mistake on this summarisation page.

It is Avengers jobs to do that, It is not the X-men job. Avengers are like a government sanctioned fire department, The X-men are a voluntary fire department. You don't blame volunteer firefighters for not putting out a fire, They jump in and help when things get bad. Yes the X-men didn't save Genosha either but it is not the X-men job to watch the world and protect it, It something they do but they aren't require to do it which is why they could ignore the Civil War when it was happening. Avenger as an officially sanctioned group they HAVE to do it and when something that big happens on earth and they didn't stop it is their fault. We can absolute blame the Avengers for not doing their job. 16 million people died and they are the official protectors of the world they take blame.
X-men as self proclaim protectors of mutantkind also take blame in a similar way but they don't have the same oversight and resources as the Avengers did until now with Krakoa. Anything bad thing that happens right now in the world to mutants is the X-men fault right now. That is beauty of Krakoa it made mutants all around the world official citizens of country and therefore under the branch of protection of the X-men. Right now X-men are "the Avengers" of mutants
Anyways back on topic, This was a solid book reverse domino feels more like a concept that would be in her solo book.
