    Yeah, I don't get why anyone thought it was good idea, bar scene and alcohol could maybe more fit Daken, but not Laura. I didn't enjoy previous X-Force issues for a while, but I hoped that after (for me) awful X-Men series and making her only love interest/girlfriend for most of the run she would get something cool in this series. The only light was the scene with children, that was adorable.

    Well I told you all the QC were a bunch of corrupt oligarchs whose only concern was mainting their own power base and caring nothing about literally anything else. Vindication!

    Can we get a goddamn revolution on this island already? There has to be someone on Krakoa who isn’t worshipping authoritarianism.

    If there was any doubt about the QC it was confirmed at least as far back as the climax of X of Swords. It is nice that we are reminded though right before the QC is going to fall.

    Then the only question remains.

    How does a country of idiots this incompetent last this long? Their only saving grace is their precious resource the rest of the world desires enough to buy and fund an oligarchic council with both a psychotic head of intelligence and leaders with delusions of grandeur…huh.

    Do you think Krakoa is going to launch and then completely fail at an invasion of a mutant splinter group sometime in the future to complete their parallels to Putin-era Russia?

    That mind control could be, and likely will be, the way they sweep everything with Hank under the table annoys me to no end. X books have used mind control for years to make moral conflicts into 'no consequences for anyone' solutions. At this point they should have so many methods of detecting and preventing mind control that it doesn't count as an excuse for me anymore.

    It's either that, or have Hank unusable forever. I'm willing to take mind-control/possession.

    QC went about how one would expect, but Kitty or Hope not making any stink is baffling. The pragmatism makes sense, but having Storm be the sole dissenting opinion just doesn't work.

    Aside from that, why do writers keep trying to make Quentin happen?

    I don't have it in me at the moment to find it but someone posted one of those data pages the Chronicler was writing around the time Jean left the team I think, the Terra Verde stuff. He signed it in Russian. The poster was under the impression that not only was the Chronicler controlling Colossus but also having an impact on how the others reacted to things, at least from what he was writing. If anyone remembers it and has it, it might be worth reposting.

    All we need is for one of Beast's clones to turn on him and choose to be good. No possession or mind control, just a better and worthy one to replace him

    And will this clone have the original's soul?

    One of the data pages from last months issue heavily hinted that ALL the clones and the prime Hank will be killed and Hank will be revived with only his memories from the Avengers era intact. Unless his soul has left his body at some point or it's shown that he has been heavily mind-controlled/possessed all this time, that isn't a very good fix, though I'd like his old personality back.

    His soul? If that matters than this clone would have his own soul. Why would we need the "soul" of this despised take on the character.

    But then, it wouldn't be the original Hank. But then again, if this Hank is irreparably ruined, I guess we'd need a new Hank.

    What pragmatism, disavowing Hank is going to do crap all for their reputation as Hank stomps around in his island corpse evangellion and Nature Girls cackles in the background trying to eat people before getting sprayed in the eyes with Mace.

    Outside that is not doing anything about the guy who’s been torturing one of your top operatives going to endear Logan to the QC? If I was a wannabe revolutionary Logan would be one of the first people I’d try to recruit in light of this
