A VILLAIN REVEALED!
The dark force hiding within Krakoa begins to show its true form.
The answers are hidden…WITHIN THE MINDSCAPE. Kurt’s – and…others.
One of the most dangerous mutants is reborn!

I wonder what will become of 'Way of X' since Si Spencer's untimely death.

I wonder what will become of 'Way of X' since Si Spencer's untimely death.

As the writer of Way of X is Si Spurrier, I don’t think it will be an issue.

See the Marauders #20 Cover? Great stuff. And of course buying both those WOX covers.

It’s lovely to see Kurt getting some attention, at last!
Kurt’s subconscious being filled with pirate clones of himself is highly amusing (and you could trace it back to Kymri and her pirates in Excalibur and even back to Kitty’s fairytale and the Dave Cockrum Nightcrawler series in the ‘80s).

I’m also down for the Terry Dodson variant for #1 at my local store. $30 but it’s Kurt so..

I'm surprised no one mentioned how faintworthy these covers are. Kurt's hand being in a sort of fist makes it look close enough to his real hand... besides its gorgeous and I like the composition of both. Those outfits in the first are rather nice designs - snappy. Also, these summaries are getting me excited. Its close enough to a book I wanted for Kurt. Of course I may be speaking too soon.

A new podcast series started last week, assessing the original Excalibur from the start, so lots of good Kurt content ahead.
I really enjoyed it.

This from the art teases thread. Finally some drama, only because its so very rare for Kurt these days.

This panel has me speculating. What could he have done to make Kurt so mad? Kurt still has his rosary in hand so it can’t be long after the panel of him taking in the landscape.

Whatever my opinions of COTA may be, I very much enjoyed the exchange between Logan and Kurt who haven’t been seen together since they died and just everyone hanging out playing pool. Nice to see Kurt actually socializing.

Oh yeah, cracks knuckles, I’m already on to the fanfic, you know I don’t need much encouragement. Loved seeing Ororo there too and her interaction with Jean was lovely.
