X-Men Red #7 - Review/Spoilers

[loke13]

I don't really understand the point that Magneto does about Xavier. Is he worried that Xavier won't be able to do what's necessary to protect mutants? That's what I understood, but it could be the opposite.

I kinda just took it as a 50/50 thing. Like protect Xavier but also protect him from himself.

It felt like Magneto was saying Xavier would sacrifice the mutants to prove he has the moral high ground.

Just read it and...Absolute perfection!

Magneto's passing (I felt that to the depths of my soul and I'm hoping we get a funeral service)
Isca's "defeat" (Though not what the cover suggested but...even better and more satisfying)
Storm's decisions. (Pure leadership right there)
Cable's CLK-CLAK
The art/colours. (I need Musabekov to be Caselli's alternate going forward.)

100/10 and every Galaxy of stars.

I can't get over the fact that Isca was bullying her peers off panel.

Ewing really must not like her.

That's what I understood, he fears that Xavier will go back to his old X-Men position even if it ends up killing them all.

Because now Magneto isn't there to keep him in line...

LOL.
CBR is late. We all knew this since...SWORD.

I loved the death too and i have to say because of the hardcover and other books a lot is fresh with me like Storm and Magneto being the first ones on Arrako and calling for charles. This era has very much come off like she is their spiritual daughter and it came off very much like you have to look out for your other dad without me here now, us adopting you was the best thing we ever did. "Your "Sister", do you see her?" and storm being all "Yes..." whoo that scene was good.

[CoCoBandz]

I still don't buy Brand's reasoning for allying with genocidal robots that want to kill all organic life. It's just so weak.

Ewing better be writing some catclysmic plot twist...

[CGAR]

I wouldn't particularly like that. Ewing is great but I also like Duggan and I think it's better to have quality variety (Duggan/Ewing/Gillen) than just one voice.

Duggan can have X-Force

[Agatha's Ghost]

It was good to see Magneto ask Storm to step up to replace him as leader of the Brotherhood like Charles asked Magneto to do for him in X-Men 200.

[Glio]

Duggan can have X-Force

I don't think so. Duggan has positioned Iron Man in the Hellfire Gala alongside the rest of the Illuminati as people who are concerned about Krakoa, just as he wrote to Reed Richards at the end of his Marauders wanting to get that genocidal toy back to him. (The Illuminati were already suspiciously together at the first Hellfire Gala)

Now that Duggan is going to write Iron Man as well, I suspect he has plans for the Illuminati and Krakoa.

Exactatiously.
I can't remember when I've last felt this deeply emotional over a story arc...it could have been Illyana's death in XM 303...but I felt every scene of this issue.

[lefthanded]

This really brilliantly played off of the plot point from SWORD about Brand preparing herself for if she lost memory in the resurrection process.

That is a really good point. During SWORD, those data entries were (1) to show how sketchy Brand is, and (2) to provide the reader with information that the other characters didn't have.

Now, with this issue, it takes on a new dimension of it being (3) Brand trying to get around gaps in resurrection and (4) away for Cable to snoop.

Pretty great writing by Ewing to get 4 uses out of these datapages.
