Immortal X-Men (Gillen, Werneck) Official Announcement

[numberthirty]

If "Sources..." are anything like right?

I’ve heard from a source that Storm is in Immortal X-Men, which is essentially replacing S.W.O.R.D. I cannot divulge anything else.

Kind of a drag that this is what will replace S.W.O.R.D., and that Ewing could be out of the equation.

[ColossusFan]

I still don't understand why Colossus of all people is on the council. He's to weak for the Game of Thrones

He shouldn't be...it doesn't make any sense in universe..

He's there because he's being unknowingly controlled by his brother and they want that drama on the council..it's completely contrived..lazy writing

It's a shame no one can give him an interesting story..equally a shame that he's still wearing that ridiculous, outdated, dumb diaper costume

Throws the table

You cant just give me Gillen and not expect me to buy. Darnit.

That cover is insane. Mystique holding red-pupil eyes, with Cyclops’ glasses in front of her on the table, and his visor on the floor. Jean’s mask also on the floor, and the Phoenix firebird emblazoned on the central chair. Look carefully at the feet under the table. Whose heels are those between Exodus and Emma?

I was wondering why Mystique had eyeballs in her hands!!!

I’m thinking the three dots represent the three timelines we saw in the Destiny of X previews featuring a handful of characters last week.

Is this not the quiet council 12 members at different tables

isn't that just the council members?

[Havok83]

yeah that makes the most sense given the context

[JB]

1 down...

Okies, X-Office...you've grabbed my attention by the gizzard, with this one. I'm in.
Erik is conspicuously absent, though.

I fully agree. This looks and sounds sensational!

I think it makes sense, honestly. Beyond Charles wanting a person he can control, Colossus is known for his kindness and gentle nature. He's a good candidate to replace Jean on the Summer seat. And while he's not some mastermind schemer, he can be counted on to not take part in political squabbles and backstabbing. With him, what you see is what you get, and what you get is a good person.

He's not there to make laws or strategize. He's there to be a moral pillar. If it weren't for him being compromised, he'd actually be a perfect candidate.

[Dipter]

Took them long enough to get around to a quiet council book. I'm looking forward to this one, very glad that I'll get to see more interactions between my favorite duo Kitty and Emma

[ExodusCloak]

Colossus is a Mikhail proxy which will be interesting. But he was a daft choice.

Pretty much. Talent is talent and this is like the perfect set up to see his vision of Utopia gone wild. Colossus was at that table too.
