    ...anyone else thinking Monet may wind up being the villain in the new GenX book?

    I was thinking x-men blue white queen or weapon x

    M briefly wasn't sure if the inhumans paying was right but I feel that was meant to exhibit how much Marius is in control and feeding off Monet emotional issues

    I kind of hope so... Can't see her being fixed by end of this current run... Sabretooth also seems like he'll revert probably in the Weapon X book...

    Which will be interesting since he'll be teaming up with Old Man Logan who doesn't trust him already. Who knows Sabertooth might go too far and Old Man Logan might kick him out of the team.

    Reverting seems to happen through the combination of Monet feeding and creed fighting

    He hasn't gone completely over the line yet though. Maybe M will be an early villain in Weapon X and Sabretooth sacrifices himself to fully restore Monet back to health? That could be good as I do like their friendship.

    Ugh, looks like Madrox' death really is the only thing driving M. Disappointing.

    What do you mean? She's possessed by her evil brother and the depression she feels over Maddrox/mutants seems good enough reason for her to go dark.

    Since Jubes is leading the Gen X kids, it would be cool if Monet was training the Next Gen of X-men Christina Strain talked about. But that's doubtful ;/

    Since the beginning of this Uncanny run, there's been allusions to the terrible personal loses Monet suffered at the hands of the Terrigen Mists. Dialogue in this issue makes clear it's just Madrox. Not family or loved ones, just her ex-boss/guy whose dupe one night standed her once.

    Say what you want about Xavier's death in AvX (I certainly have) but there was SOME sense how he worked as a martyr.

    We've seen Monet does care about her teammates, and yes losing Madrox would hurt her.

    From the beginning of his run, it was stated Monet had lost a friend to the terrigen. The person wasn't named until recently (Death of X). Her friend (Madrox) was killed by a mist that could potentially kill all other mutants, so why would M be happy about that? On top of that there's her problem with being possessed by her brother, and her being in limbo/hell, which would cause any evil tendencies to blossom.

    Great issue.
    >The look inside Creed's head was disturbing. Trying to do good yet knowing that good isn't right for you or what you really are, feeling yourself slipping away but trying to hold on... Nice.
    >Monet's bitchiness and shade-throwing have only been enhanced by Emplate's possession. That Hound/Phoenix comment!
    >Confirmation that Multiple Man's death is making M so angry. I'm glad the M Twins are OK... wherever they are.
    >The last page twist. Chilling yet perfect.

    Favourite panels...
