KIERON GILLEN (W) • ALESSANDRO VITTI (A)

THE EXPERIMENT ENDS?
Year 1 was the start of the experiment. By Year 10, it was filling a petri dish. By Year 100, it had cracked the glass and spread across the desk.

That…won’t sit well with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. The King of Wakanda comes for Marvel’s premier couple!

Only, Wolfsbane’s trapped in a sewer with a very angry beastie, Magik’s got X-Men business and Dani and Karma have no idea their young charges are in trouble.

Notable: No Marauders listed.

[Diammandis]

(I'm updating the first page with links to variant covers because some of them are really great. If any of the links to the covers don't work feel free to let me know as I was speeding through this. )

Notable: No Marauders listed.

Just as many suspected looks like Marauders is ending, wouldnt be surprised though to see it come back in a new form after Fall of X though

WOLVERINE #32
Cover

WOLVERINE may be the best there is at what he does…but which Wolverine is the best? BEAST’S last-ditch effort to save mutantdom involves a veritable CLONE SAGA for LOGAN! Which Wolverine will be left standing? WEAPONS OF X Part Two!

Dammit, this throws that theory I had completely out the window. Hank's really been trying to prevent something from destroying mutantkind? Why didn't he just ask for help?

[jwatson]

Yaaay! The X-cellent is back!

[mugiwara]

Between Marauders, X-Men Red and Legion of X on hiatus, plus Warpath and Warlock not being in NM anymore (they barely ever used them anyway), I've never been less interested in the Krakoa era titles.
There is still Bishop and the X-kids, though.

[JB]

I went over the character limit to add the variant cover links lol.

X-Men #21 variant.

[Rift]

Haw-haw, Laura fans about to get Percy'd.

It's like I'm happy she's officially on an ongoing again but wooooo doggy. I'm happy Colossus is officially on the team too.

Really? Another X-Men vs Avengers?? UGH Why.....

[Grunty]

Just as many suspected looks like Marauders is ending, wouldnt be surprised though to see it come back in a new form after Fall of X though

And once again we are back to speculate what did the book in?
The art? The characterization? The Storyline? Everything?

Also at this point it's a given, but it really starts to feel weird when titles which failed twice and became increasingly less "valued" thanks to that, are just given another shot, likey without any changes to improve the chances.

And then people act suprise when the third or fourth attempt is canceled even earlier.

Haw-haw, Laura fans about to get Percy'd.

I allready feel sorry for her fans. On the other hand, the mini series might provide some distraction if it's written well. IF...

Also still perplexed that book is the longest lasting Dawn of X title so far... but then again it was Wolverine and he could be written for 20 pages as doing nothing but cutting up ninja, drinking beer and saying bub every second sentence and it would likely sell well enough.

Haw-haw, Laura fans about to get Percy'd.

No character deserves to be Percy'd

[Uncanny X-Man]

Notable: No Marauders listed.

That's not unexpected, last issue's solicit seemed to indicate an ending, plus there was hardly any buzz for the book. It's a shame because Steve Orlando is actually a very good writer but he mostly missed the mark on Marauders and failed to write a compelling story in my opinion.

That said, the X-line has basically become a bunch of miniseries as they get all their ducks in a row in preparation for Fall of X. I'm hoping for a line with a bit more longevity written by the architects of Krakoa instead of random writers once we get there to be honest.

[IN-a-Synch]

Def not feeling this X-force roster and now Logan is gone.

Yeah we'll see how the Genosha story goes and what that will potentially lead into. I have a feeling whatever happens will be picked up elsewhere.
