Giant Size X-men - Jean Grey and Emma Frost SPOILER thread

[Havok83]

This is an homage to the classic Morrison silent issue so Dauterman does most of the storytelling with his amazing art

2 kids are flying around Krakoa. One boy is startled when he makes a startling discovery....Storm passed out with a bloody nose

Within Krakoa, Jean and Scott are holding hands. She kisses Logan on the cheek, leaves the two men behind and joins Emma as they enter to find Storm on a flower like pod. Emma takes a swiff of her liquor and the two engage in a psychic entry of Storm's mind.

Im assuming they are Kenya and they come across two panthers. One has Storm's white hair and it asks ? + ? Friends? Jean makes an image of she and Storm reconnecting during Inferno and it pleases the Storm panther. Emma makes an image of when they swapped bodies and she attacked Storm and the panthers turn to serpents and attack her. She goes diamond amd fights back but its Jean that is able to save her by mind blasting it



The two ride on an elephant with butterfly wings and stop at a tree thats hit with lightning. Storm overlooks them as they enter the tree and go up a staircase with eyes. It collapses and the two women join forces and make a staircase of rocks. They come across a Krakoa pod and a flower emerges. Metal? Machine? The two tug on it but it has strong cable roots. A larger flower emerges with Storm there.

Jean is overjoyed to see Storm while Emma is annoyed. Jean approaches her friend but her skin comes off revealing a timer ticking down from 30. "Save Me" Jean hugs Storm and two women leave. Jean tells Logan and Scott that the Children of the Vault gave Storm a virus and that she is going to die in 30 days

The art was gorgeous but this just feels like a complete waste of potential. Having no dialog I don't think was the right choice. Also I'm still confused on some things. Why would Storm's techno virus or whatever not show up on a bio scan? And how would she know that she only had 30 days to live. I guess I just don't see why they had to go into her mind to find out this information. And is Emma stupid? It looks like she conjured up a memory of Xmen 152 when Storm was trying to find out if she was friend or foe. Way to unnecessarily antagonize.

I was quite disappointed with this. Gorgeous to look at, but a 25 second read and I wasn't satisfied with the content of the story.

[Fokken]

Heaven help me, Dauterman's bubble butts send me soaring.

I've not secured my copy yet -- several hours away -- but I will not be mad about the lack of dialogue.

This issue's flowing hair and buoyant booties will feed me for weeks.

[Luckystar.]

Well, at least the art was pretty. But meh.

Yeah. The story and dilemma were kind of boring. What would have sold this issue is the interaction between Jean and Emma for the people that like that kind of stuff but without any spoken dialog this just feels like a waste of a giant size issue.

Is it just me or does anyone else not see the issue with Storm having a virus that will kill her in 30 days? Because of the resurrection protocols, there’s not really any stakes here because even if they can’t save her, they can easily just resurrect her.

Also, why does Jean have this better outfit here but the Marvel Girl costume everywhere else?

I think it's more about the infiltration of the Children. There were a few mutants present so there could be concern that this virus is elsewhere and concern about what it can do to the person before the actual death.

Great art work, but yeah this book needed dialogue. It could have been so much more than what we got.

Jean Grey and the Audacity of this Blonde Bitch by J. K. Hickman.

[BlkGldBlu]

Art was amazing.
I loved all the details. Really great moment and art panels to choose from.
Emma Response the panther/lion was perfect. And she stared back like ' and what'.
Her mental defense may have only attack due to PTSD of that event.
I love how Jean And Emma saved each other.
Love the claustrophobia scene when the walls we closing in on them.
And Damn ,Storm always look good in Gold.
HAh Stormbot reference.
8/10 she doesn't make it.

[Tazpocalapse]

Great issue loved the art. Could Orchis have been trying to create some sorta techno based telepathic virus to destroy mutants?Is Serafina carrying the virus?

I don't see why the Krakoans don't just kill Storm and then upload the pre-vault save file into the new Storm.

So confused by "where was the dialogue" comments...have you never read New X-Men #121?
