X-Men #15 Review *spoilers*

I think old x-23 is still alive

Nice write up, Jbenito. Can't wait to read it after work.

My pleasure, and thank you!

I think old x-23 is still alive

Yup, it's seeming more and more likely. Bring on the high drama.

Sidenote, I liked how Magik and Firestar's costumes looked in this issue.

So Xavier is showing more telekinetic skill I see…how annoying.

Yeah, but it appears to be an intentional plot point. I can't remember what issue it was, but earlier in the run there was a data page noting that Synch's power levels had increased noticeably when he came back, too. I thought it was a throwaway development for one character, but now I'm curious if this is a plot point solely for Duggan's X-Men run, or if there will be implications in the X-Line on a larger scale.

Caliban... WTF???

[dragon1440]

I had thought he was captured but others said he was dead so I was unsure! Glad to know he's in there.

Darwin is one of the HARDEST characters to kill imo. Many couldnt do it even if they tried. His powers reactive automatically to keep hm from dying. Hell he could probably be stabbed a million times and his body would evolve to have a healing factor or some other way to keep him alive.

GILF Laura should be the new Wolverine on the X-Men.

The implication was that he was dead but he is Darwin so... If a character can have a "not actually dead" is him.

Good comic, Duggan continues to make a fantastic run.

If Krakoa somehow gets wiped out, wouldn't the Children of the Vault be set free and kill everyone?

[Omega Alpha]

Yeah, this is probably my favorite issue of Duggan's run as well. It's finally something that explores the possibilities of the X-men and Krakoa rather than generic villain of the month scenarios.

[Saithor]

My only issue is that the Children are just at the end of the day good concepts but rather boring in personality. You can make that work, the Borg certainly do but I think it just doesn’t work as well in Superhero comics. Otherwise the issue was great.

I’m in the minority but I thought this issue was pretty lazy in places. It’s great Forge is getting spotlight and the vault has the potential to be interesting….

But I’m pretty tired of watching everyone get brutally murdered only for it all to be a dream/simulation etc, makes it feel like the writers are doing it for nothing more than shock value at this point.

Forge’s suit using another mutants powers (mystique) to infiltrate felt un-necessary and a convenient way to use powers that aren’t within the teams skill set….except they do have someone who could do that but he’s been benched (Synch). I don’t doubt Forge is capable of creating such a suit but plot wise it risks the suit becoming whatever the writer needs it to be. I hope that’s not the case in future issues.

Finally if the books are not going to confirm or tell us why mutants suddenly have better/stronger powers sometime soon (like Xavier having TK now) then I’m just going to question if the writer got a characters power set wrong….again.

Mutants who go through the resurrection process receive a small boost in their powers. Xavier was always a low level TK user the Five just happened to enhance them.

Caliban... WTF???

Yeah I’m not real clear on how exactly he made a skin suit out of Caliban’s face.

[Cyclone_Ablaze]

LOL right?!

Please can we stop Skinning people? First Moira now, Forge it's TOO MUCH!!
