Magneto is Jesus.

He says the "QC" is the cast, he was avoiding explicitly spoiling anything in Inferno.

I’ll be doing interviews shortly, and I’ll be more specific about the identities of my core cast, though there’s names in the press release. For now let’s keep it to “The Quiet Council.”

This is a great little post for those who want to know a little more without knowing more, lol.

Really intrigued by this. A book I rellay wanted but I hope Magneto is in it too. Really like Charles and Eric in this Era. Also Phoenix and Death make this more interesting.

[FluffyCyclopsRLZ]

Would've been actually stoked had this been released before Inferno. Oh well, will give it a shot anyway due to it being pretty much advertised as a must-read-otherwise-the-next-event-won't-make-a-lick-of-sense.

This actually sounds super interesting. I’ve always loved the soap opera drama side of the xmen. Not everything needs some huge resolution. Just give me mutants + drama.

This may be the first thing I buy since house of x 2

People keep catching little details...

That's Lactuca of the Arakkii

Ahh thanks…

From Jean's thread:

Definitely inspired by “The Last Supper”.





Jesus Christ aka the “messiah” is at the middle of the table in the last supper. While there is an empty chair at the middle of the table in the Immortal X-Men teaser with the Phoenix symbol. The chair is likely meant for Hope aka the “mutant messiah” aka Phoenix. Also, Lady Death is apparently there.

I think this might be fuel for my theory a few pages back.

These stand out the most to me.

Sinister = Judas Iscariot
Death = Mary Magdalene

[Rift]

Fun fact. If you connect the points of reference, it spells out a name.



Coincidence? I think not.

These stand out the most to me.

Sinister = Judas Iscariot
Death = Mary Magdalene

Worth taking note of...

Is Mary Magdalene in Da Vinci's 'The Last Supper?'

Was Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper?

In "The Last Supper," the figure at Christ's right arm does not possess an easily-identified gender. He's not bald, or bearded, or anything we visually associate with "masculinity." In fact, he looks feminine. As a result, some people (like the novelist Dan Brown in "The Da Vinci Code") have speculated that Da Vinci wasn't depicting John at all, but rather Mary Magdalene. There are three very good reasons why Leonardo was likely not depicting Mary Magdalene.

1. Mary Magdalene wasn't at the Last Supper.

Although she was present at the event, Mary Magdalene wasn't listed among the people at the table in any of the four Gospels. According to Biblical accounts, her role was a minor supporting one. She wiped feet. John is described as eating at the table with the others.

2. It would have been blatant heresy for Da Vinci to paint her there.

Late 15th-century Catholic Rome was not a period of enlightenment with regard to competing religious beliefs. The Inquisition began in the late 12th century France. The Spanish Inquisition began in 1478 and 50 years after "The Last Supper" was painted, Pope Paul II established the Congregation of the Holy Office of the Inquisition in Rome itself. The most famous victim of this office was in 1633, Leonardo's fellow scientist Galileo Galilei.

Leonardo was an inventor and experimenter in all things, but it would have been worse than foolhardy for him to risk offending both his employer and his Pope.

3. Leonardo was known for painting effeminate men.

There is controversy over whether Leonardo was gay or not. Whether he was or wasn't, he certainly devoted more attention to male anatomy and beautiful males in general than he did to female anatomy or females. There are some rather sensuous young men depicted in his notebooks, complete with long, curly tresses and modestly downcast, heavy-lidded eyes. The faces of some of these men are similar to that of John.

Based on this, it seems clear that Da Vinci painted the apostle John swooning next to Christ, and not Mary Magdalene. "The Da Vinci Code" is interesting and thought-provoking. However, it is a work of fiction and a creative tale woven by Dan Brown based on a bit of history that goes well above and beyond the historical facts.

Ewing writing Storm, Cable and Magneto....?

You, stop! Just stop messing with my emotions.

The more I think about it the more I fall in deep love with the idea.

Well damn! Look at that cast. Just. LOOK at it. It's grabbed me by the jewels. I'm all in.

Damn LOL!

Fun fact. If you connect the points of reference, it spells out a name.

Coincidence? I think not.

I simply cannot with you!

[Gnostic]

Surprised no one has mentioned the Hope Summers teaser. She could be representing the chair.

Glad I’m not the only one that made the connection. With Gillen on the book I wonder if we’ll get some questions answered for Hope.

Werneck’s interiors disappoint unfortunately.
