Marauders #8 Review *spoilers*

[tuck frump]

After the preview pages, we get a somewhat nice scene of Emma telepathically calling "To me, my Marauders." However she is kneeling and crying as she proclaims it and the only one to answer her call is Iceman so Idk if it counts as a "yassss kween" moment, probably not.

The issue then shifts to the rest of the cast reacting to Kate's demise. Iceman lashes out and maims a bunch of Homines Verendi goons. I know Krakoan law never stated **** no man up but it is getting a bit redundant for a new member of the team to basically torture folks every issue. I guess it counted as a feat? Meh.

Storm and Emma have an interesting exchange. I found it emotionally vibrant but Storm was all over the place. The bitchslap was cancelled by her immediately joking about it afterwards and it looked like she threw a tantrum and Emma was calm and collected and got her to come to her senses.

The Shaws are celebrating and Shinobi introduces the Black Knights of the Hellfire Company: Fenris. How the hoot were they resurrected already???

The Sinister Secrets was probably the most interesting bit:

#16 seem to be about Kate not showing up to QC meetings.
#17 taking into consideration FF+XM #01, it sounds like Kid Omega was cockblocked by Jumbo. Which is funny since Jumbo's death triggered QQ to start a riot back when.
#18 I wonder who got Stinger preggo? Remember when Yost tried to tease a ship between her and Iceman lololol why
#19 the thing about growing a new Krakoa is inch resting. Could that refer to Arrako? It's funny that Sinister hates Fenris, he's like I can excuse nazism but I draw the line at incest.

Oh, I guess the Lockheed thing is important because he's the only one who knows about Shaw's betrayal. I was getting annoyed that that was a plot.

The art was great. My only complaint was it not depicting Emma's memory transfer to Storm. These psychic stubts are always a good excuse to flex some artistic muscles in crazy way and that was just told not shown to us at all. Oh well.

Good book, but I guess I need this one to go more places than back and forth on boats. Still will look forward to it, but I felt like this issue took no time to read for some reason. Yeah, that Fenris reveal was a little "yawn."

[Maestroneto]

Best Iceman moment since Carey.

[JB]

King Omega.



An angry Bobby is a scary/sexy Bobby. Did he turn himself and Bishop into vapor and teleport??

Ororo and Emma were gorgeous. Storm’s free-flowing tears. Emma taking the slap like a Queen. The petals. I can’t.

Sebastian is in for a thrashing.

Enter Fenris. I feel as Sinister does about them haha.

Lockheed my love!!

[Vegan Daddy]

I’m rooting for the Shaws.

[Hi-Fi]

This was great as usual.

Shinobi is probably dating both Fenris.

[Tenebrae]

I had a flashback

I’m rooting for the Shaws.

Having Shadowcat out of the picture let's the other characters thrive. This is a much better Marauders for the most part.

[Nyssane]

Shinobi is probably dating both Fenris.

I was thinking the same thing. You know they eiffel tower him every night.

And really, he couldn't get his old friends Benazir Kaur and Reeva Payge in the mix?

I loved it as always but I definitely wanted more from the Emma vs Storm thing. I'm hoping we get an emotional resolution to their issues in Giant Size. But on the flip side, I'm just looking to get a Real X-wives of Krakoa book in the future. They're fun when they're shady to each other like in Ellis' Astonishing run.

Oh also, I'm calling it now. The Mercury is one of Christian's psychic constructs.

Oh sign me up for that. Seriously.

But yeah, I'm still feeling a bit ooky on the Storm and Emma moment. I absolutely buy everything until Storm was all jokey and hugging Emma.

Oh! Wow that'd be a big feat to keep up hahaha

So the White Kween got herself teleporting tech too? T'Challa is shooketh

Oh and btw Mr Sinister should be the Andy Cohen of the real housewives of Krakoa, hosting the reunion and spilling tea on his daily show.

I don't think he has the tact for that. He's already the Wendy Williams of Krakoa.

[Captain Nash]

SO much emotion and so well written. This book is now a solid #2 for DoX releases. So glad Lockheed survived. The Storm slapping Emma was great, Iceman going "cold" - no pun intended - was great as well. No complaints, just waiting for Shaw to get sent down to Sabretooth.

This is perfect.
