X-Men # 8: Something's Coming Review *spoilers*

[Woozie]

Carol stole Brand's job, renamed it Alpha Flight and gave everyone a Hala star insignia because she's genetically predisposed to being a fascist
And then she got fired

So now all we see is the Hulk hunter unit Gamma Flight

Mate, I didn't ask you for your Marvel ranting. So why are you telling me this?

[Beetle]

Because someone asked about Abigail Brand, SWORD and Alpha Flight and it seems relevant to mention that fascist Carol got the job, failed and now the Earth is getting invaded by Brood

[Godlike13]

So, when is the Cyclops and Magik book. Cause we need that

[Tycon]

Between revealing Vulcan was never resurrected and Duggan revealing Artie & Leech are on the island, it’s always so fun seeing dumb theories getting stomped out.

either he's the original with amnesia (Very not good.)

Or he's a clone while the original is out in space (Extra super duper very not good)

Makes no sense that there’d be two Vulcans. Whoever updated this (likely Xavier, as we know they’re a Krakoan) knows Vulcan isn’t dead so why resurrect him?

[Havok83]

Do the X-men even have 30 telepaths?

Betsy
Kwannon
Emma
5 Cuckoos
Kid Omega
Xavier
Rachel
Sage
Monet
Cable
Martha
Apocalypse
Sinister
Selene
Exodus

I didnt count the NM since they are already there but even then its just Dani, Karma and Chamber

Excellent points! I need to decode the Krakoan on the updated file...

Oh it says UPDATE. Duh.

[jawbreaker]

I refuse to believe the Gen-X team lives in a dump, especially when everyone knows Jono is the one with the nasty room.

I keep wondering why Hicks keeps having characters take shots at the Gen Xers if he supposedly likes them. But then I also remember Paige leaving her discarded skin all over her room. Yeah the Gen-Xers are slobs.

I totally missed the potential two vulcans thing but i guess i could see it. I was thinking while reading that since it was Shiar battle records they just updated it. Especially considering the story that just happened in new mutants. Like they thought vulcan died but they know he is alive because he is running around they just don't know he was resurrected. But there being two makes sense in combination with the recurring dream.

Nanny! The others might be low level telepaths like her.

[Frobisher]

The whole Vulcan thing is coming to a head quicker than expected. Kallark is not going to be happy to see the third Summers brother again. And how much does he remember?

How does anyone know he's not dead? Everyone thought he was vaporized in that detonation. Gabriel hasn't been seen or heard from since War of Kings, so it's likely that they resurrected him with limited/edited memories based on the last Cerebro scan they had of him prior to RAFotSE. they knew he was an omega and had his dna and scan on file. Boom here's nu-Gabe. But old Gabe is still out there, and I think nu-Gabe is viewing through old's eyes when he's "dreaming". Just a theory.

[Soulsword323]

Great read! Action was particularly great in this one. Very intrigued/worried about the Vulcan situation.

Asrar did such a great job with Jean's Marvel Girl costume. The mask was depicted wonderfully.

[H-E-D]

"Vulcan never died" is a terrifying sentence.


Wish Kid Gladiator wasn't here, never liked him. Or Broo, but at least he was good for exposition.

Some of the weird-looking random mutants that are in the background at parties have to be telepaths by pure statistics.

If they never found the body, why would a cloned new Vulcan have the dream we saw he is having?
I think he is the original, just nobody wants him to remember
