    He’s not a real mutant? Since when?

    Also... are we sure all these guys are Madrox? If so... what a waste of a great character... and what a shitty new look.

    Anywho... not a bad first issue.. but what kept bugging me is WHEN did it take place? Domino is intact and Kitty is alive... FF/X has a similar issue with Kitty, but you can plug that in between issues. Domino... Has she been “intact” at all since X-Force was formed? Just an artistic mistake, maybe?

    so Kubert and Bogdanovic are switching arcs. Kubert is 1 -3 and then Boganovic's arc starts in 4? I enjoyed the first issue. Picked up the shout out to the 1990's die cut cover. Will give it a couple arcs at the least.

    This already has much better art. And while we've seen Logan in this headspace before, the threat of Dracula and weird drug cartels makes this feel much more interesting than some random villain no one cares about.

    I'm glad that it explored the Cult of X thing too.

    Yeah Bogdanovic's arc starts with issue #4 and it's going to focus on the Omega Red storyline.

    Dracula and the Vampire Nation controlling the drug trade could be a good way to connect the two storylines!

    I was also thinking that maybe this drug was a sentient entity similar to "Spore" (an old Wolverine foe from the Goodwyn/Byrne run) and that the "Pale Girl" was how this entity was seen by those who were in contact with this drug but now that you mention it, you're right it could be too similar to what happened during Fallen Angels.

    I posted this in the Blade appreciation thread, but with Blade firmly with the Avengers at the moment and the X-Men in general wanting to have very little to do with nonmutants, the X-Men are at a real disadvantage.

    I mean, again, Omega Red and Dracula don't even wait to have their conversation away from the gate in a bar or graveyard, they just have it a few steps away from the gate.

    I don't think that's poor writing, but rather a hard metaphor for the X-Men ignoring outside problems to their detriment.

    Given that Dracula and the vampire nation are now both an Avengers and X-Men problem, I wonder if we’ll end end up seeing a crossover when it comes to a head.

    Man, if Percy brings the demon that hide in the cocain from the Byrne/Goodwin arc, if he would truly proved that he is a harcore fan of the characther lol.

    Yeah, maybe it's going to be teased in the upcoming FCBD X-Men 2020.

    This story gave us this beautiful panel:





    I agree, if Percy brings Spore back or just makes a reference to this story, I will be impressed lol.

    Was it only me who noticed a glaring error on Domino,in Kubert's story she is whole no missing eye no scarred right arm,using guns instead of Forge's tech.This is a major error,unless this episode happened before the hit on Xavier,but we don't have any indication to that effect.Changing books and artist is causing continuity errors.Guys in the editor room should be careful.

    Thanks for the summary Hush. I have a good feeling about this run.

    Yeah, I do recall that... I think he was just a different kind of mutant because he had his powers from birth. He was mutant enough to die from the legacy virus...
