Comics The '07 X-Event: Endangered Species, Messiah Complex, & Disassembled

[El Bastardo]

No arguing!

Rightful justice and valor in battle!

Shield! Sword! RAWR.

 

[Valechan]

Who would've thought a guy named Doom was a bit fascist?

 

[El Bastardo]

Rather, who would have thought a guy with a screenname of El Bastardo, an avatar of a French-Canadian, and a guy with French-Canadian blood would be fascist?

Nonetheless!

 

[Roughneck]

I'm surprized Magneto hasn't shown up in this event yet

 

[Psykoelf]

One thing I found interesting in the latest MC chapter was when Madrox awoke from his "coma" and the M that was tattooed onto the future dupe appeared on the Prime! Is this the first time something like this has happened to Madrox when he absorbs a dupe and takes on a physical characteristic?

As to the pace of MC, I've found it exciting in parts, yet lacking heaps in other. With past X-overs each title issue kinda focussed on that title specifically while continuing the story, with this is jumping around a bit too much for my liking. I just don't feel like I'm getting a full story, but after reading one chapter I'm a bit ravenous for the next. Like eating pop rocks all tingling at the start then you need some more.

Character wise, Cyclops is being a d!@k and having a Messiah Complex of his own, and he's not the only one. Cable, Bishop ... even to an extent Mystique, each seem to be having their own personal Messiah Complex's. The most surprising omittances from this story is Beast (I know stuck in a med lab nursing boo-boo's), but I imagined him frothing at the mouth to get in on this, and Magneto (who apparently is still a mutant), but then again, he could still be digesting all the info from the writings of that Morlok precog that Skids gave him.

The "death" of Sinister, I'm leaning more towards a Rogue/Mystique team up, or a plot by Mystique in setting up Gambit, meaning that Sinister is still in the game. Interesting for Gambit if the latter happens to be.

The M tatoo was a genetic brand, it was branded to his DNA, that's why it showed up on the prime Jamie.

 

[spectre]

i don't get why beast needed to be in the medlab to save nightcrawler and hellion and pixie and the others. wouldn't elixir just be able to heal them all?

 

[squeekness]

Elixer might have limits and it does seem like the kid is currently under a bit of a strain...

 

[Kevin]

I thought he was hit by a wall that knocked him out for days? I took a break a few issues ago

 

[Valechan]

Indeed ComicBoy. The poor sap's still unconscious

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^yup

So where is the other dupe???? Two were sent off, right?

 

[The Englishman]

So where is the other dupe???? Two were sent off, right?

Thats a good point, he might be in Cables future timeline!!!???

 

[squeekness]

I don't think it was a fluke that two dupes got sent off. I'm sure the other one will show up when we least expect it.

 

[UraniaChang]

I have a feeling the writers want to keep the baby's effect to Cable's timeline as secret as possible.

 

[Kevin]

For the series I'm not interested in? I think that's the one x-book I'm not reading.

 

[Snikt 6]

I have a feeling the writers want to keep the baby's effect to Cable's timeline as secret as possible.

Yeah...guess well have to find out in his book......

 

[Canemacar]

So there's just two issues to go. They've got a lot wrap up; I hope they don't waste more time on the X-brats or the conclusion will end up rushed and unsatisfying. With as much build-up as they've got, that would be disastrous.

 

[SublimeDelusion]

Yeah, seems like whatever goes on in this they're trying to keep what's going on in Cable's timeline quiet so far.

Spoiler

It even appears as though the solicit for the new Cable series has the baby with him there... So I guess we know how that turns out in MC...

Although,

Spoiler

the newest issue of Wizard mentioned that X-men: Legacy is going to be following Gambit and Rogue...... yeah......

With all of that, I'm getting the feeling that Marvel might be getting a bit ADD with the cross-over and trying to make sure they get information out there to get people to want to read the new series. They've gone as far as saying that everything from MC that was supposed to "Change the X-men forever" is really going to be until

Spoiler

either this upcoming summer or next summer when the teams get back together, so there probably won't be much expectations for decent stories for a while.

And they're starting to leak some information when it comes to teams too.

Maybe I'm jaded by the way that Astonishing is going right now, but it really seems like, although marvel has great ideas about changing things and making an interesting story, they can't keep their mouths shut when it comes to what they "don't want to spoil".... Even the "TOP SECRET" below the comic solicits is getting pretty annoying.

 

[DJSCARLET]

one wiill betray them- we already know that was Bishop
one will rise to lead them-cyclops
one will be their savior-i am torn between Gambit, Rogue, and Mystique
one will be their downfall- i have no clue, i want to say Beast but i doubt that now.
there are only two chapters left, new x-men 46 is basically The X-Men vs. The Marauders vs. X-Force vs. The Acolytes vs. New X-Men vs. Predator X.
and we all know who gets the baby.

 

[DoomRulz]

I'm looking forward to NX vs. Pred X. Should be an intense fight.

 

[Valechan]

And we all know at least one kid will die

 

[DoomRulz]

Indeed we do. But then again I don't really care. I don't read NX

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm looking forward to NX vs. Pred X. Should be an intense fight.

I feel the exact opposite lol

And we all know at least one kid will die

C'mon Dust!

 

[Valechan]

Say it with me Santo!!! Die Santo die!!!
