Comics Are you ready for the SECOND COMING of the Mutant Messiah?

What? She even remembers that she's Nightcrawler's mother?

Mystique pays more attention to Rogue than she does her own son, not that it does any good to the person receiving attention from her.

 

[Havok83]

Mystique doesnt care about the kids she gave birth to. She gave both her sons away and killed Grayden. Nightcrawler's an afterthought to her. She really does seem to only care about Rogue, no matter how twisted their relationship is

1. ANYONE KNOW WHY ROGUES CLAWS (COURTESY OF WOLVIE & X) DIDN'T TURN INTO ORGANIC STEEL VIA THE COLOSSUS POWER?

2. DON'T HER ACQUIRED POWERS WORK TOGETHER OR IS IT ONLY 1 AT A TIME? FROM APPEARANCES IT LOOKS LIKE SHE MANIFESTS THEM ALL AT ONCE. ALSO HOW LONG DOES SHE KEEP THESE POWERS

 

[Manic]

1. Who knows? I remember Mimic from the Exiles could turn his claws into steel when using his Colossus powers, but maybe Rogue's powers work differently.

2. She can use multiple powers at the same time, yes. She did that recently when she absorbed the powers from a bunch of students and combined them to defeat a Predator X.

The time she keeps someone's power depends on how long she touched them. She usually holds a power one minute for every second she touched someone, though I don't think that's a definite rule.

3. You might want to check your CAPS button. I think it's stuck.

X-MEN: SECOND COMING – REVELATIONS: HELLBOUND #1 (of 3)
Written by CHRIS YOST
Pencils by HARVEY TOLIBAO
Cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC

Fighting for the future of mutantkind, the X-Men are locked in battle with Bastion, staving off his forces even by sacrificing themselves. When Magik is gravely injured in battle, she instinctively flees to the sanctuary of Limbo…only to fall into the clutches of a longtime adversary hoping to wrest the powerful Soulsword—and control of Limbo—from her grasp. Now, a small team of X-Men venture in after her, but they are met only by unexpected peril: a horde of demons out for blood, Magik nowhere in sight, and a concealed evil walking amongst them.

Tolibao rocks.

Get real, it's not like you're the only one who has someone important to die.

Tolibao rocks.

he needs an ongoing

I actually liked the first issue of "Hellbound". The latest chapter of "Second Coming", however, was a big miss for me. I thought Fraction made Beast look like an insensitive *****e, and the tone of the issue felt all wrong - not sure exactly why, maybe it was the art or something. Also, the little inconsistency of Colossus' location annoyed me; in "Hellbound" he's rightly stressed about Kurt and Illyana, in "Second Coming" he's...watching DVDs with Kitty? Huh?

 

[El Bastardo]

he needs an ongoing

Only if he can handle a monthly commitment. I've only seen him on minis thus far.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Kill him pete!!!!

i havent read Hellbound yet, but a far as this issue goes i thought it was incredible. Beast was fine but Logan was PERFECT. i was a little worried they mightve forgotten his and Kurts relationship and i was happy to be proven wrong.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

The first few pages of Hellbound were seriously the best things I've read in a long time. Pissed of Colossus =

Props to Cyclops for talking him down too

 

[Colossal Spoons]

As for UXM, the funeral scene was nice, but Logan's grimace totally made me laugh audibly. The whole comic, you just see him snarling hahaha. Cyclops better hope that Hope starts curing AIDS and finding alternative fuel sources quickly or else Beast and Wolverine are going to kill him and the rest of the X-Men are gonna kick his corpse .

I'm starting to dislike Hope myself just b/c of the trouble people are going through to save/protect her and they don't even know why. Bishop, help! I think Hope is some kind of bomb or something. Bastion wants Hope isolated on this island will all the mutants with no way to fly or teleport off of it. Seems very suspicious.

 

[javi1024]

huh...did anyone else get their subscribed threads erased from their list?

 

[EvilClareToo]

So, I take it that Hellbound should be on my shopping list when I head to the States this summer (Icelandic volcanos withstanding..)?

 

[Manic]

huh...did anyone else get their subscribed threads erased from their list?

Yeah, apparently the admins had to clear out some stuff while trying to speed up the forum. We lost our thread subscriptions and our email notifications for private messages (though I wasn't using that one, anyway). I spend a good chunk of time last night going through the X-Men, Comics, Community, and TV forums looking for any recent threads I'd posted in.

On the plus side, I'm using this opportunity to completely sever any ties I had with the Politics and Celebrity forums.

 

[javi1024]

...i we have Politics and Celebrity forums?

 

[Manic]

Not anymore, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Proud of you Manic haha

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

why is that Manic? i JUST now started going over to the Politics forum. lol

 

[Manic]

Post there for a few more months and you'll understand.

 

[El Bastardo]

You know, it dawns on me the X-Office has done a really good job of making just about every single X-story from the past few years lead and tie into Second Coming in some way or form.

Pretty solid.

P.S.: Manic needs to answer my question in the New Mutants thread.

 

[Havok83]

Overall decent issue. I thought it was rather slow though especially with the fast pacing of this arc. That funeral should have waited till after the crossover as it caused the action to die down prematurely. Aside from that, not much happen besides more of the spy sabotaging the team. I thought Dodson was decent as well, but hate how his Cable and Magneto look so much alike. I got them confused in that scene.

the worst part of the issue was Beast showing up. All I could think was shut up and go away. I had a feeling he would come back just to b-tch and he didnt disapoint

"Go after her dummy" What a dumb line. I could feel the love...not

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Beast's new uniform makes him look chubby
