Today sees the return of Immortal X-Men #11 and the publication of Before The Fall Of X: Sons Of X from Marvel Comics
Today sees the return of Immortal X-Men and the first of the Before The Fall Of X one-shots, that flow the adventures in the Sins Of Sinister thousand year timeline, We previously asked on Bleeding Cool how Emma Frost might be attending the Hellfire Gala given that she is in the Krakoan Pit. We also asked how a certain someone who may be dying in the upcoming Free Comic Book Day special may be resurrected, if Hope Summers is compromised for all resurrections going forward. And also in the Pit. Turns out that all you needed was a little invention and intervention.
Thank you Forge. Working out what Mister Sinister did to all mutants and what Hope Summers wasn’t there to automatically remove in recent resurrections.
And people will be keeping an eye on Hope, and checking her handiwork, now that they know what to look for. Or indeed that there is something there to look for.
And Immortal X-Men includes its own recap page, not just for the readers but for the cast of characters as well. Learning of a thousand years of history that will now never happen but that the Sinister versions of themselves are absolutely responsible for. Is it me, or is Storm, having removed herself from the resurrection protocols, enjoying this a bit?
Exodus, who has treated her as a mutant messiah but has now betrayed Hope Summers before the cock crowed three times.
Is there a word for blaming someone for something that hasn;t happened, won’t happen now, and only would have happened with a Sins Of Sinister infection? Given how many times this seems to happen in the Marvel Universe, there really should be.
Looks like Emma Frost is fed up of Storm enjoying herself too much as well. Not entirely sure that “it took you so long to realise I was the bad guy” is the best defence though…
While Sebastian Shaw seems to be shorting Krakoa ahead of its Fall. Is this where the smart money will be this season?
Mother Righteous has her own plans to play out over in Sons Of X, as Banshee is struggling to remember a thousand years he never lived, as a Ghost Rider.
At least Legion knows that this happens again and again and again in the X-Men books. Days And Days And Days Of Future Past at this point.
And then Mother Righteous gives me a panel I will be using for Bleeding Cool articles for possibly a thousand years to come. Thanks Si…
Gossip comes before a Fall… that’s how the line goes, right?
