    $100 is MSRP

    These books are always discounted at most, if not all e-tailers (Amazon, IST, etc.)

    I think what he says makes sense. That $60 listing still has the original Nov date and hasnt been updated with the January or $100 MSRP. FYI, on Amazon, when something is discounted, they list both prices. The sale price and the MSRP crossed out so you know you are getting a discount

    Looking at the Dec solicitations, I think some of the sword bearers aren't going to survive.

    We need the Five and Cerebro to resurrect mutants, what if a few of the Five mutant resurrectors are killed or even Cerebro and its backups are destroyed?

    Anything is possible but I doubt it. Xavier has mutants who can probably fill in for The Five if the need arises and according to House of X Xavier has five back-ups. We know that one is located on krakoa thanks to X-Force. But I feel like the issue with Resurrection will be more of a mystical one rather than a technological one plus I don't think we'll be getting rid of Resurrection anytime soon that would kind of make X factor completely obsolete a title not to mention the impact would happen all the X titles

    Alternately, getting rid of Resurrection would make X-Factor more important because investigating deaths would become a higher priority activity without any way to bring mutants back.

    But it would raise the question of why introduce the concept in the first place if it doesn't last very long.

    The Resurrection Protocols might be compromised or hindered in some way so as not to be fully functional.
    My guess would be Arrako's "corruption" of Krakoa...somehow through physical proximity r full rejoining?...seeing as Krakoa is partially necessary for the process to be successful.

    It would have to be something bigger than just losing one of the five. They've got multiple backups for Elixir (Triage, Morlock Healer) and Proteus (Jim Jaspers, Franklin Richards, possibly Wiccan) and Tempus (Tempo, Sway, Lacuna, Kiden Nixon, Timeslip), so only Hope (who doesn't really do anything?) and Egg/Goldballz are not easily replaced (and, thanks to people like Hope, Rogue, Mimic, etc., nobody is really not replaceable...).

    A corruption of the Cerebro download process could make it less desirable (either losing some elements in the transfer, such as the restoration of Carol Danver's memories telepathically carrying none of the emotional context) or even problematic (some sinister soul has put in 'code' so that every resurrected mutant is a Manchurian candidate subconsciously programmed to obey someone or follow certain directives). But this crab-head calling himself Xavier would have to be in on it...

    Hope could be replaced with Synch and Mimic.

    Ironically, Goldballs might be the most important person in Krakoa.

    I really hope they let me keep my X of Swords Amazon pre order. I have it for $53 CAD, which is about $40 USD. In the past I've seen it go both ways for when a pre order item gets changed.

    Even Goldballs absence can be easily solved. They could say they had plenty of "eggs" from him stored already waiting to be fertilized.

    I think it's safe to say Annihilation is one of the horsemen, and no longer has loyalty to Arrako. Would be interesting to know the role of unknown characters like Solem

    Synch is trapped in the Vault. Mimic cant be used as a replacement. Mimic can only copy powers. Thats not Hope's role in the resurrection process. She is key to the 5 working in unison. She boosts their powers , stabilizes and manipulates them such the process is perfect. Without her the eggs may not be viable, they may overshoot the aging process, the mutants may come back wrong, etc....Hope brings everything together such that potential errors are kept to an absolute minimum. Synch's powers hadnt evolved to the point where he could do something like that. Hope can use her powers on others whereas he like Mimic, could only use it on himself.
