[JB]

Congrats on the puppy, and great recap!

Isn't this all pointless? I mean, we just saw in the latest issue of New Mutants that Sublime still lives on so really what is teh point of this? Also how many times has Stryfe been dealt with and then returned? I lost count actually.

Actually where is the review thread for that issue? Haven’t read it myself yet, did see the subreddit saying that it’s a book written by someone who hates Krakoa so I can guess the reasons it doesn’t have a thread yet.

Thanks for the review. I read the issue and was just confused with no real inclination to go back and try to figure out what was happening. Not feeling this one

I know, i thought it was weird, especially when this comes out on the same day and it pretty much invalidates the whole point of saving prehistoric mutants when one (or both) sentient viruses are still alive in present day to continue causing chaos.

I'm probably not alone in having no interest in reading the current NM but I'm curious about this Sublime stuff. Someone who read it should throw a thread together, even if it's quick bullet points.

His appearance in New Mutants is pretty brief, he's working with the U-Men again and it is revealed that they have developed a new, more aggressive form of Kick. I stopped reading Marauders, but it just seems to be giving him and Arkea a new origin, I wouldn't expect whatever happened 2 billion years ago to be relevant to what Sublime is doing in the present. At the very most, Orlando might create a retcon as to why mutants are now immune to direct influence from Sublime and can only be influenced if they use Kick.

Thank you very much for the update. Interesting that Sublime is being used in two places at once.

Everything about this time travel nonsense gives me a headache. And I couldn't puzzle out if the Unbreathing were correct about being around first, and if that meant that these mutants were some kind of alien invaders or something.

And Stryfe is here, for some reason. Thought he reincarnated into a baby at the end of Cable.

This book is utterly inert. Claremont had the good sense to keep this pirate fetishism to a kitty dream scene here and there, not stretched taut to an ongoing. Where are they sailing to now? How about a lovely resort for a permanent docking

[Fokken]

I'll say it.
Stryfe looks hawt.

Finally got around to reading it last night, and I'm a little confused with one thing. Pryde appears early in the book during the big battle. But, then she seems to be missing in the back end when they get to Helix House, and the dialogue seems to imply she isn't there. Am I missing something?

Oh thank goodness I thought I was alone on this!
She got separated from the party off panel? Between the battle and the recovery? Anyone? Anyone?

Maybe we're due for a flashback next issue?

My theory is that Kitty merged with Amass offscreen, which is why he was able to recognize Stryfe.

Congrats on the puppy, and great recap!

Thanks. He's honestly such a good dog. I thought he'd be timid at first, but nope. Right away, he's playful, stubborn, and already asserting dominance over the other dog

Oooohhhhh okay okay, sure. That would make sense because that ALSO baffled me: Amass recognizing Stryfe.
