SWORD #6 preview "After the Fireworks"

[Lucyinthesky]

Fam he's on the Guardians cast what you mean? & the MIA is mostly due to rona & delays ect. Either way my point is ain't nobody acknowledging Mags & his ego, his old self tryna be the Mr Burns of Space.

They send Paibok as ambassador for SWORD and I guess he´s also for Alpha Fight so they recognize SWORD they just don´t want to interact with Krakoa and that´s fine as far as Brand sees it because it´s really an internal issue not something that would stop them from cooperating if there´s a need like a menace from space with like the new anhiliation.

For the sake of expanding mutantdom, shouldn’t Magento put aside his pride on “pretenders” and make peace with his “once grandson” Wiccan?

That, in turn, would give a good relationship with Hulkling, the current Emperor of Skrulls/Kree.

Xavier already has his daughter on the Shi’ar throne. So mutantdom is good there.

If Magento wasn’t so prideful, Krakoa could be good with the Kree/Skrull Empire too.

I truly believe Billy does not give AF about mutants or Magneto in the slightest he will always prioritize Wanda above any of that they will never make peace as they are now *shrugs* & honestly I doubts Mags is the one with the problem.

Rona was last year man….Say what you want but people notice when Magneto walks in a room, they’re really going to notice now that he revived a dead planet. I do like that you called him the Mr. Burns of space though that is hilarious and accurate lol.

Yay my joke landed!

Was already thinking Magneto should nobble Henry Peter Gyrich. That would be worth ending up on trial for breaking Krakoa’s first law. Look at him recruiting a domestic abuser into his sexless anti-mutant incel cult like a flat-topped Jordan Peterson.

Considering how Cap’s own annual did him dirty this week, it’s nice to see an X-Book letting him be so philosophical about things

I’m not sure why anyone’s surprised about Hudson considering the crap he’s pulled on Heather

Oh, you guys read that short in Alpha Flight: True North, too? Yeah, that was messed up. And on top of that, as of the last issue of the Ravencroft miniseries, Hudson is also part of a new shadowy government organization called J.A.N.U.S. (after the god of two faces) that's been manipulating events in Ravencroft Asylum for some unknown sinister purpose; given one of its other members is Malcolm Colcord, formerly of Weapon X, Hudson hooking up with another longtime mutant-hater like Gyrich . . .

They can’t stand mutants building something for themselves, a miracle like the terraforming of mars is a nightmare to these people, when genosha and its inhabitants were wiped out all was fine with the world and they hardly batted an eye.

Pretty much.

Pretty much.

That bastard Malcom Concord is still alive!!!!!!

Isn’t he the one that ran the Weapon X concentration camp?

Krakoa needs to start up the secret X-Force kill team again, and take that guy out.

Well lets not act like human law has always sought to preserve mutant life. Human law aint did a damn thing for mutants, ever.

No I mean like, every law. Everyone has diplomatic immunity for all crimes since only murder is illegal (and even basically its only illegal if there are human witnesses)

[numberthirty]

their declaration kinda suggests that they DID just kinda grabbed it and said "mine"

Politely, you are just plain incorrect.

It means that they got a potentially hostile group off planet, and made sure that humanity doesn't make the mistake of trying to poke said potentially hostile group with a stick.

[numberthirty]

It's a conflict of interest, because Sword serves Krakoa

Politely, everything in that book says that you are just "110%..." incorrect.

[numberthirty]

I mean the mutants consider themselves above the law. **** they barely obey even their own 3 laws.

Citation needed...

Again, citation needed...

I see that the irony of humans complaining that you can't just show up somewhere and claim ownership of it is lost on a lot of posters. At least Mutants had the decency to choose two unpopulated places with Krakoa and Mars, unlike humans who prefer to move in and displace existing civilizations.

They can’t stand mutants building something for themselves, a miracle like the terraforming of mars is a nightmare to these people, when genosha and its inhabitants were wiped out all was fine with the world and they hardly batted an eye.

MU humans are scum, but I've been really surprised at how many "x-fans" hate the idea of Mutants having any power and agency. Like they're only fans of Mutants if they're kept down.

[Journey]

Ewing said it is a conflict. Abigail is on denial. A earth organization need to have more than mutants and Krakoa as sponsor.
That is why gGamma Flight exist

I don't understand what you're attempting to say but just as easily as you claim Abby is in denial she could say the same **** to the Krakoans *shrugs*

[JB]

Oh this is gonna be as juicy as America's ass. The art is gorgeous.

Krakoa did so, in large part, so they could move a particularly hard case offshoot of mutant kind to a planet where they will most likely not attempt to wipe out large swaths of humanity.

They did not simply grab something, and say "MINE!!!..."

I wholeheartedly agree.

They apparently like it better when the X-Men are fighting for the acceptance, respect, and friendship of the very humans who've chosen to reject them, persecute them, and try to wipe them all out time and again, as opposed to the X-Men (and mutants as a whole) finally making it clear that they won't "play nice" with those that would seek to destroy them out of base fear and hatred anymore. To me, it's kind of reflective of where a lot of them really stand on the real-world issues of collective marginalization and disenfranchisement that the X-Men as a franchise allegorize; it's fine if real-world minorities or otherwise marginalized peoples are scraping and begging for a place at the dominant culture's table, but if they set up their own, better table and start dictating terms from there, that's where the problem starts.

Don't mix real minorities with made up minorities. I'm a minority and I think x-men right now is a power trip

Ewing said that Brand isn't 100% right and will soon enter the conflict of protecting Earth vs Krakoa
