X-Men Monday #198

AIPT: X-Fan Justin Dixon asked, what exactly does the discovery of Threshold hold for mutants? With the creation of a circuit that basically let them turn their greatest tragedy into a swan song, could it have any more significance beyond just Marauders?

Steve: It certainly could! What it means in the future will be up to future creators. But what it means in general is 10,000 years of unexplored mutant history and adventures. It means a sanctuary deep in the past, free of today’s prejudices, though of course with dangers of its own. It also means the mutants you know and love remain the first generation of mutants, due to Pryde’s end run in time. Apocalypse and Selene still hold their places as the first. Mutation still began as it always has. Without Threshold, there may have been no Okkara, but that’s not where Apocalypse and Selene were born. They’d still have existed. But mutant history, like mutant thought, doesn’t adhere to normal human limitations. Mutant history isn’t linear. It starts where it always has, but it took until now for mutants to see there’s a pocket of history hiding so far in the past that it was previously thought to have come first.



IMMORTAL X-MEN #13

Kieron Gillen (W) • Lucas Werneck (A) • Cover by Mark Brooks

LISTEN CLOSELY.

Time is running out. Fall is here. Doug Ramsey is the voice of Krakoa. It’s time for Krakoa to speak.






(Looks like we already have our answer as to who’s filling Sinisters seat
Edit: wait isnt he already on the council unofficially as the voice of krakoa…disregard my previous statement )

[Devaishwarya]

Another gorgeous Brooks cover.

It's about fucking time Krakoa asserts his presence and tells the squatters what's the real deal.

[Nicoclaws]

This cover is perfection.

Bishop's spiky hair... not so much.
Glad to see the other members of MFS. Monet just killed that guy though. Wonder who these soldiers are.

[Nicoclaws]

As for the interview, I love his explanation of the timeline and how it fits with the exploration of "new mutant views on classic concepts" that Krakoa is doing, like death, birth or time we saw on Way of X.

[JB]

That Doug cover is incredible and I’m glad issue #13 is his and Krakoa’s. It’s July’s issue before shit hits the fan so let’s goooo.

I really like the pages for Mutant First Strike. Really great to see Warren!

[Diammandis]

Doug needs to start showing up to these council meetings more often cause how could i forget he’s already apart of the council



Also i enjoyed Orlando’s answers regarding the Threshold, he gave some very much needed insight into that because I sure as hell was somewhat confused when reading the final issue of Marauder

[Devaishwarya]

I'm seeing

Storm, Piotr and Kurt
Shaw, Lourdes (?) and Kate
Mystique, Hope and.....
Destiny, Emma (?) and Charles

[cranger]

The council looks the same to me with the removal of Sinister. So Hope is between Xavier and Destiny, Emma is in her usual spot and Exodus is sitting beside Mystique.

Sinister should be the only vacancy and the vote on a new member is the plot of some upcoming issue that I cannot remember exactly which.

[Fokken]

Doug getting focus from Gillen & Werneck???
Bless that Cunning Linguist.
With this incredible news my heart is the first of my organs to swell in size.

[Exodus]

Are all X-Men getting new jackets?!

Cyclops, M, Jean,...are all wearing jackets with X-logos on the new promotional material.

Ah...yes...I for some reason mis-thought that Emma gave up/switched her QC seat but she had only deferred her HFT position/duties to Lourdes.

did anything ever come about from the whole "Great Captains" gimmick?

Ha, you're so naughty.

You’re definitely not at fault for thinking that because the entire reason Emma and Shaw (especially Shaw) have their seats is for the Hellfire Rep, but they both gave up those positions.

Those jackets are tight. I wonder if Bishop and M are joining Duggan's X-men along with Kitty... er, Shadowkat?
