I don't care at all about Emma, she could go in the pit with the rest of them, but this is not her not taking responsibility. She is literally saying the QC needs Storm especially now that Storm has removed all of the votes. Again, I don't care at all about anyone's faves here.
I am not caught up on "Sins of Sinister." Is it a MUST that I read all those issues before I read Immortal 11?
Mutant and Proud!
For the most part I think reading the opening and closing issues of the event will catch you up enough, then you can get recaps online of the middle issues. Mutants did very nasty things due to the Sinister gene in their bodies.
Speaking of, I saw an interesting point about the "bits of Sinister genome floating around space and time? Contributing to the Dominister, maybe? Or even deriving from?" Intriguing.

I don't understand what dumb choice is being made by Storm. We the readers know Piotr is not entirely in control, but Ororo has no reason to believe that. He is one of her oldest friends. So is Kate, but Ororo is over Emma right now and Kate and Emma have been a little too tight. This is the logical choice, and is one of wisdom from Storm -- she knows she can't be 100% present, but also that her voice is important and she can't just leave, and because she is a good person who relies on others she found a solution. It's just that there's a bad outcome she didn't forsee.
Also, stop it with the Gillenister. Is it too much to ask that you be civil in how you talk about creators?

The idea of Storm putting together a Highlight Reel of Immorality for them to physically watch like a movie makes me laugh. Did they edit all 1000 year down to a digestible 2 to 3 hours for proper viewing?
This was a good showing for Storm and a silly showing for everyone else. So much of this plot relies on a huge number of uber telepaths, who are widely known for their various degrees of paranoia and intrusiveness, not using their powers. Poor Colossus has been mentally screaming for help for literal years and nobody has noticed.
I have complicated thoughts about Storm that might be better suited for the Storm topic, but I will say it looks like she's in for a rough rest of the year. Colossus is about to blow up in everyones' faces, and then there's whatever Apocalypse is about to do to Arrako.
A thought just occurred to me as I was typing this; the story brings up how Storm is spreading herself thin between Krakoa and Arrako, but what about the human side of things? I know she's on frosty relations with Wakanda, but her godhood springs from her African heritage. And during Sins of Sinister, it was THAT heritage that she called on for her big power play. I wonder what her original people think of about their goddess basically abandoning them for both a new people and a new planet.
Didn't they scan Colossus early on and find absolutely nothing. I thought the implication was that what Mikhail is doing can't just be found out by "lol telepathy"
I think going "Just telepath harder" sucks as a resolution. Cause that's basically what a lot of resolutions amount to.
