Inferno Teaser Mark Brooks

[Devaishwarya]

I honestly don't know why some thought this Inferno had anything to do with Maddie's demon Inferno...other than the name. Maddie showed up for all of three issues in a title that's not heavily tied to the main story. It was obvious from X-Men 06 it would have something to do with Raven when Destiny instructed her to "Burn it down".

He changed everything for mutantkind with HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X. He explored the new Krakoan era in X-MEN. Now the keeper of the mutant flame, Jonathan Hickman, presents his next incendiary saga! Mystique, former mutant terrorist and espionage agent supreme, is loyal to Professor X’s Quiet Council for one reason only: the promise that someday, he will resurrect her beloved Destiny. But when Moira MacTaggert helped Professor X and Magneto realize their lifelong dreams for mutantkind, it came with one condition — do not allow any precognitive mutants on the island of Krakoa. What will Mystique do when she realizes that she is being strung along? Vengeance burns hot — and Mystique is about to ignite an Inferno! And where has the elusive Moira MacTaggert been all this time, anyway?

This isn't going to end well for Mystique. She's going to be joining Creed in the ground.

how much does everyone think the status quo will be changed by inferno? i was thinking that duggans x men is only just starting up 2 months before this so it could get through 1 or maybe 2 arcs before infernos affects that book.
just wondering because x of swords didn't really change anything other than betsy being gone in excalibur for a few issues. the other changes like the empty quiet council seats or arakko being on earth seemed mostly irrelevant to the books at large.

My guess is nothing drastically changes. A few things are revealed, a few things are set in motion. Mystique dies and is resurrected without certain memories.

I don't think it will change the status quo much, but it will tie up some of the lose ends from HOX (The Destiny story) and more people will probably find out about Moria.

Don't see any huge status quo changes coming, Krakoa and all it entails should still be around afterwards.

The bigger question for me is if Hickman will headline a new ongoing when Inferno ends, or if they will leave Duggan's X-Men as the flagship with Hickman possibly writing the occasional one-shot or mini.

I'm hoping not much changes with the structure/setup of Krakoa. There's no point in doing a schism when (a) we've been there, done that; and (b) they have Arakko lying around if they want Mutant vs. Mutant tension.

Maybe they'll take away the Moira reset via a power nullifier (she only gets an 11th life if she makes the right decision in the end - and she won't). It'd be better to have no precogs and no Moira with a message that the future is unwritten.

I'm wondering the same exact thing. Hopefully he has a new ongoing once this is complete.

My question is, will Mystique get caught or will she survive to continually plot Krakoas downfall.
It will be interesting if she is also responsible for Magnetos trial as well as being the main antagonist for Inferno.

Posting these here in case people want to discuss.

So I'm thinking Raven may have been busy collecting secrets throughout the island and exposing them is part of burning it all down. Destabilization from within. Turn the masses against the "leaders" and off we go.

Oooh is Bishop getting a role in this? That's great.

1. This RB Silva art is gorgeous.
2. The inclusion of Colossus, Psylocke and Bishop has me intrigued. I'd never think anything untoward about those three. What you got you got up your sleeve, Hickman?

I'm guessing the can't be trusted line is meant for the Krakoan people, so is not that they are evil but rather that they are keeping things hidden. So thinking that way:

Kwannon is obvious to me: Her whole deal with Sinister and how she covers for him.
Colossus: His brother and the upcoming arc he's getting in X-Force has something to do with it.
Bishop: He's a little more harder to pinpoint, since we haven't had any focus on him yet.

Pulling this post from the Upcoming Art thread.

Colossus in X-Force – secretly working with XENO and/or Mikhail. Either blackmailed or under some kind of body control. He killed those XENO assassins in X-Force 3. Kayla is the Chronicler and his handler. She is also probably the Russian agent Beast was looking for.

Psylocke in Hellions – secretly working with Mr. Sinister under threat of blackmail. Complicit in the illegal creation of Chimeras.

Red Bishop in Marauders – secretly working with the Beast (see King in Black: Marauders). Complicit in something not revealed yet.

Right on. It could sow great unease and dissension among the population and maybe even cause an uprising if these things were revealed.
