And as the ruthless new Imperial Guard hunts down MARVEL GIRL, everything begins to converge. Will there be any X-Men left to fight the WAR OF KINGS?

 

[UraniaChang]

You know why there's no need for Jean to be back?

Cause of Rachel.

There's no need for two characters exist in the same universe with practically the same kind of powers and looks, not to mention all have traces of Phoenix in them. God, I hate that alien creature.

 

[OutcryX]

Rachel is soooo much better at using Phoenix than Jean....keep it that way

Dear Brandon Peterson,

You habit of enhancing your pencils with CGI makes them look freaky and odd, like I'm looking at a half-assed cel-shading job from a PS2 video game.


P.S. Blackbolt doesn't shoot electricity from his mouth.

 

[OutcryX]

who is the tree-man? i actually used to wrtie a comic series called tree-men when i was in kindergarten

 

[Havok83]

Why the heck does Rachel look so old? She's not supposed to be Mother Askani here. Havok looks younger than her

Oh you know, not enough beauty sleep and lots of stress, plus in SPACE (where it's bad for skin condition) can do that to any woman.

 

[OutcryX]

i illegally downloaded issue 3 of kingbreaker from the internet and it was pretty awesome. the art is bad...but the story is good

[Havok83]

I just realized that Lorna is supposed to be Luna's aunt and that she and Crystal were sisters-in-law even though they didnt know it before

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

yeah i dont understnd any of this mess!

wasn't luna quicksilver's daughter? ----oh ok i just read up on crystal. no info needed!

 

[GambitXremy]

rachels back with the hound marks on her face...hmmm

 

[Manic]

Wasn't she only ever hiding the hound marks telepathically, anyway?

 

[GambitXremy]

ya but why out of nowhere have them showing now....?

 

[OutcryX]

poor Ronan...he really does have feelings for Crystal....

 

[Mother_Askani]

Wasn't she only ever hiding the hound marks telepathically, anyway?

Rachel used to. But after her battle with the Necrom, the Phoenix force healed her and removed them.

 

[GambitXremy]

yost did say that in kingbreaker #4 something would happen to rachel

 

[Colossal Spoons]

poor Ronan...he really does have feelings for Crystal....

Ronan shouldn't have feelings at all!

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

so i realize that polaris and crystal are related and all, but why on earth are they acting as if they know eachother?

at the time when they were truly related (by marriage) they didnt even know it. nor did the meet did they?

it was just a few years ago that lorna found out she was related to the maximoff family at all! did they speak at all during "the rise and fall" arc? i didnt read it, so i guess thats where this familiarity could come from.....

The Inhumans werent even in the arc so I couldnt tell you when the last time they were together if ever. Maybe they met on a few occasions while Pietro was in X-factor. I cant really think of much

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Lorna has known Wanda and Pietro since she and Havok were with the X-Men in the days of the first team. I don't recall if Wanda and Pietro were with the Brotherhood or the Avengers at that time.

Of course she knew them that long. Her connection to Wanda and Pietro wasnt the issue. Its a past relationship with Crystal that is. I dont recall them having any scenes before. They might have been on panel during a crossover or something but I dont think any actual interaction has been seen before

 

[jmc247]

Ronan shouldn't have feelings at all!

He should be an unfeeling monster?
