This baffled me too, so I ran through her panels and the closest thing I could find is that she calls Ben Grimm a “golem” - before being adopted as a general western fantasy trope the golem started as a Jewish folklore creation with clay skin that obviously The Thing resembles. If you squinted really hard that could be read as a slur, I guess?
"She never loved you, you know you always frightened her"- Cyclops
"And if she was here right now....Who do you think she would be more frightened of?"- Wolverine
Alright... won't be long now... one more day, and a few hours...
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
I would not be surprised if this replaced X-Men and Immortal X-Men, along with Resurrection of Magneto replacing X-Men Red. Percy's stuff will finish off in the regular titles. If so then Brevoort's takeover is closer than I was thinking.
I was actually thinking the same thing. I think they wanna go for the HoXpoX vibe.
I was thinking that would be the case too, but they released an X-Men 30 variant so unless that was misnumbered at least one of the titles is continuing. Now I'm wondering if the current titles that they are writing will tie into what they'll be doing in 2024. Ewing has Red which Magneto was part of when he died, Gillen is doing what I'm assuming is future stuff and he had SoS.
I believe this is a variant cover for Rom and the X-Men: Marvel Tales. Not X-Men 30. Anyone?
