X of Swords (Summer X-Over)

[Kingdom X]

I was expecting more info but cool nonetheless ... i hope DOug and betsy have good moments together and I sure hope Jordan is talking about Betsy and not Brian.

excited for this event!

Makes me feel like they should have saved the cover reveals for Comic-Con, but Marvel’s not paying me for marketing

[braddocks]

I don’t believe I’ve ever been this excited for an event.

I wonder if Ororo dancing with death may also allude to her relationship with T’Challa, who was Lord of the Necropolis?

I’m probably most curious about Brian’s role, if he truly is one of the ten swordbearers.

[Veitha]

I'm going to put my theory here too.

Considering how important Ororo seems to be, I think Masked Women is going to be Ashake, Ororo's ancestor.

She is from Ancient Egypt, she is a sorceress, physically she is very similar to Ororo and used similar tarot cards. Perhaps it was she who sealed Arakko apart from Krakoa to save the world under Apocalypse. Perhaps Apocalypse promised to return to rescue them but after thousands of years, the feeling of disappointment and abandonment (mentioned in the tarot card that represents her) made them end up being corrupted by the demons or simply decided to rebel against Apocalypse.

This sounds very plausible. I wouldn't have expected Storm to be so huge in this a few months ago. Happy she's prominent.

Do we know who the the Nun is? Could it be Selene dressing up?

[braddocks]

Might be Candra? I’m sure we’ve seen her in an art teaser.

I might need to reread the Externals stuff - I just remember they’re immortal mutants and Sam might be one.

That's what's making me think Death may have a connection to Wakanda. Hickman loves his Egypt-Wakanda connections. In his Fantastic Four run, he had Storm, Shuri, and Sue fight Anubis while he was trying to take over the kingdom. And T'Challa appears in the issue right before Death's appearance. It wouldn't surprise me if Death was some sort of exiled Wakandan mutant who modeled himself on one of his people's most feared deities.

Really hope Selene is involved in this issue

Wonder how Rachel feels with Selene on Krakoa...

I GENUINLY dont belive the masked woman is storm, it be too simple, spoiled right at chapter one and quite honestly not a good decision on their part .

[Kitty&Piotr<3]

I'm just glad to see Storm getting some f#$&%*@ narrative! Finally!

Whether this is some kind of chosen bloodline thing or reincarnation, my body is ready!

Yeah! When's the last time they interacted?? The Krakoa era hasn't really taken advantage of all this history and that's kind of a shame since they're all in one place now. Doug(lock) was actually even a member of Excalibur before!

[MAR420X]

i think shes the nun and CANDRA externals member in disguise

[marhawkman]

Yeah that one hand is rather small... Candra currently has very petite hands.

Storm and Candra? oh boy.... A don't think Candra has forgotten that Storm and Cyclops are the reason her heart amulet was destroyed. Or well this:

Storm and Candra have.... history.

[MAR420X]

small news tidbit

[Odd Rödney]

Is it just me or does Cyclops left hand look backwards in this image?
