We're supposed to find out more about Emma's whereabouts in the Death of X mini, so I would say there is a zero percent chance she appears before then. As a result, I expect Rachel will be the telepath joining in Civil War: Xmen.
Is that Prince on the last page? DID CULLEN BUNN MAKE PRINCE A HELLFIRE LORD????
Considering M's sordid history with Emma Frost, I'm surprised (but excited, mind you) to see M as the new White Queen. I've been trying to come up with reasons why she would do this, and a friend of mine asked "Could she be doing this to smoke Emma out of wherever she's hiding?" And I had to admit, I could *totally* see M doing that. Monet St. Croix seems like a good candidate for the HFC, considering her superior attitude and silver-spoon upbringing, but you'd think she'd balk at taking Emma's title.
That last page reveal ������. Ed: those were heart-eyed emojis.
I'm really intrigued with this new group of mutants. Hopefully they're not red shirts and will make some long-term waves.
Monet looks good in white.
I wonder if Shaw is back to full evil or if he... unretains his memory loss.
Game Over man! Game Over!
It's Briar Raleigh. Did any of you not see Bunn's tweet to me hinting we haven't seen the last of her. I started a thread on it a week ago. This has to be what he was referring to.

My guess is that by the end of Civil War Psylocke will be back at Magnetos side and Rachel is a stand in telepath during the mini.
Remember Nightcrawler and Rachel are two of Bunn's favorite characters so this is his chance to use them. Doesnt nessessarily mean either will stay on the team nor does it mean that Psylocke will leave for good.

The Civil War mini takes place after all the current solicited arcs in the books and IVX starts immediately after. My guess is we're getting some book/team relaunches in the wake of IVX anyway and this is Bunn having some fun before Lemire and Soule reconfigure everything, but I strongly doubt the teams remain as they are now.
Inv.Sabretooth is so fun to read, it reminds me of how I felt about Wolverine when I was reading the books as a kid. The difference of course being that Sabretooth feels a lot fresher than Wolverine. I hope we get as many arcs of Inv.Sabretooth as possible before full reversion, if he reverts fully at all. /i think Creed has the potential of being a really engaging anti-hero.
The issue itself felt short, but as set-up I'm not too fussed about it. Bunn has a proven record on this book and, whilst it felt short, there was a lot of interesting, well done aspects to the issue. As mentioned, Sabretooth was particularly enjoyable, but also the weaving threads of Someday/HFC. As the first post-Apocalypse Wars issue it will be interesting to see how it's sales fare, whether there's a significant drop-off or, perhaps, a gain in readership.
Hopefully Bunn will come out and state who's who in that last page just to clear everything up, but very excited to see where everything is going.
