Comics X-Men: Emperor Vulcan

As far as I'm concerned, that bird should just leave everyone the hell alone.
All the good things it ever did were gave Jean a cool codename and the DPS.
 
I don't think it gets addressed nearly enough in Scott & Emma's relationship.

Emma: "Darling, Jean's all wrong for you. All she ever does is turn evil and die on you."
Scott: "Aren't you the one who turned her evil in the first place?"
Emma: "By accident."
Scott: "You were trying to control her mind."
Emma: "Only to gain leverage over Shaw."
Scott: "She wouldn't have even died in the first place if it weren't for you."
Emma: "Yes, well, Jean doesn't do that thing with her tongue."
Scott: "True enough. Let's go to bed."

Oh why cant they just off Emma Frost?

Alex looks fugly on that cover. Whars up with his eyes?
 
Great.

Unless Gabe somehow loses some of his powers again... are we supposed to think Alex has even the tiniest of chances to not get pwned in 5 seconds flat?
 
All brothers need to swing fists against each other once or twice.

it kind of feels odd that its Alex going head to head with Gabriel since Scott was the one that had the most connection here. Scott was the one that the 3rd Summers brother plot was revealed to. Scott was the one that met Gabriel and knew him prior to all of this and he was the one that was targeted in DG. Not to mention he was the one closest to Corsair and had more of a relationship with him. I wonder how the story would be different if he were allowed to stay the lead protagonist and the one to confront him. I hope Vulcan doesnt die bc I want to see Scott confront him. He deserves that chance
 
Yeah, Scott is the one who has most of the connection with Vulcan, and probably the only one whom Vulcan has some remote family affection for, but Alex needs something to do and Scott has enough on his hand, besides, I think Scott might be at a little disadvantage against Vulcan since his brother 'died' to save him.
 
I think Blue Phoenix is awesome, it will set her aside from Jean, which she looks and reminds so much of her. I mean it's about time Rachel becomes Rachel other than Jean with just another name.
 
Hmm...wonder if Vulcan will be getting back to Earth-though I do hope his powers go down from Omega level at the end of this...also hoping Alex will kick his backside, the youngest Summers brother has had it coming for some time now!:p
 
Mysteries have been a cornerstone of Marvel's X-Universe for many years. Revelations have been big, small, and often huge. Some questions that seemed to linger for a decade or more have included: Who is Nightcrawler's mother? What is Wolverine's origin? Is there a third Summers brother?


All were finally answered within the last several years, but answers often merely led to more questions. Or in the case of the third Summers' brother, the answer led to betrayal and murder as Vulcan, the third brother, killed his father Corsair, also the father of Cyclops and Havok.
This brings us to the “X-Men: Emperor Vulcan” miniseries, the second issue of which arrived in stores last week. Havok is traveling through outer space (along with a handful of X-Men and the Starjammers), seeking vengeance upon his brother, who has also usurped the crown to the Shi'ar empire.
Fans have questions about these events, so here at X-POSITION, we're going to get them answers! And who better to help us with this task than the writer of that miniseries, Christopher Yost? In addition to being the scribe for “Emperor Vulcan,” Yost is also a co-writer on “New X-Men” and the “Endangered Species” back-up tale that has been running through all the X-books for the last few months. Yost had a lot to say about all the characters and events under his watch, so let's get right to it.


First up are some questions about “Emperor Vulcan” from Slamanam, who really could use some clarification. “I really enjoy ‘New X-Men,' so I picked up ‘Emperor Vulcan' on a whim, even though I'm not a big fan of outer space stories. I kind of like what I've read so far, but I'm confused so I was hoping you could help me out:

1) Are the Shi'ar friendly with earth? Or do they just want to fight everyone?

The Shi'ar don't really want to fight everyone – they'd be just as happy with someone surrendering. The Shi'ar “marry” new cultures, absorbing them into their own. The Shi'ar probably wouldn't have paid much mind to Earth, were it not for Lilandra going there for help.
And that pesky Phoenix.

2) What exactly is the M'Kraan Crystal? Why does Alex ask Lilandra if it's the home of the Scy'ar Tal when it's not that big?


The M'Kraan Crystal is a nexus of all realities, sort of like that swamp where the Man-Thing hangs out. The M'Kraan Crystal in one universe is the same one as in ours, and it played a big part in Age of Apocalypse.
Alex didn't mean the M'Kraan lived inside of it (although there is a city and a White Hot Room inside there), but rather on the planet where the Crystal resides.

And technically, the M'Kraan race lived on artificial moons around the planet.

3) Besides the death of the Shi'ar, what do the Scy'ar Tal exactly want?
They want the Crystal back. They really, really liked it. And if they have to kill a few billion Shi'ar to get home, they will.

i honestly dont think Alex is going to beat Vulcan...not without help
 
It's fine.

More of an explanatory issue about the MK'Raans' motives than anything, but it's still ok.
 
It's not over yet. Only issue two is out.

But so far, it's a prime mini. Good storytelling, good art. Good use of characters who have gotten regularly shat on, pretty much.
 
This mini is everything the last few issues of "Rise & Fall" should've been.
 
Yeah, sadly.

And good job, O' Sister of Sonic, for opening up the door to have the usual bandwagon of people come in and say "rah, rah, Brubaker sucks olol, rah, rah."

X-Men: Emperor Vulcan #3 will arrive in stores on Nov. 21 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Christopher Yost, with art by Paco Medina and a cover by Billy Tan.

Here's how Marvel describes the issue:

"Havok and the Starjammers' world is turned upside down as they're forced to help Vulcan in his war against the enemies of the Shi'ar Empire. What horrifying secret of the Scy'ar Tal would make Havok join forces with his brother? And the question isn't IF Vulcan will betray the X-Men... it's when"

X-Men: Emperor Vulcan #3 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99
 
damn....Yost can actually write....when Kyle isnt around
 
Oh, and did the art just get better all of a sudden? I mean, the art was fantastic in the first 2 issues, but it is really stepped up. GO PACO!! (Um, did he get married or something? He has a different last name now.:huh:)

Oh, and I hope Vulcan dies.:)
