The real wildcard I think is Mr. Sinister/The Hellions right now as I can't see their plan ending in anything but outright failure/being exposed. Yet at the same time, such a method feels like we're waiting for the drop that Arrako is also trying to do something similar so Saturyne can declare it a draw and force her solution on everyone.
Ah, yep. This is gonna be it. They're gonna draw and Saturnyne will be the one to join the islands. Arakko will be out of her hair and the Earth survives.
And all the mutants will live together in peace or perish together as fools.
I just knew the gate aboard The Peak would tie into this somehow. Looks like Cyke was right about Saturnyne. Also, It appears I was right about Capt. Avalon vs Redroot!
There we go!
I'm probably most excited to see more of the original Children of the Vault crew though, haha
Just saw the promo for X-Men 18 and while I love me some Captain Britain/otherworld nonsense, this is the story I have been waiting for, especially with Hickman's pre-launch stanning of Mike Carey.
this is so, so much better than nonstop sword fights

Oh fuck yes! Finally!
I love Darwin and Sync looking old while Laura is still young.
Wonder if Darwin and Sync will have to go through the Crucible to be young again or if they will be granted it for their service.
It might just be the way Yu "textures" their faces. I'm actually not expecting them to come out of the Vault in this issue, just to see what happened to them once they got in, it might be another year before we get the issue where they come out :D
What I would've given for action figures with fully articulated joints as a child. The only ones that did consistently were GI Joes. If superhero figures and others did, I'd probably still be playing with those shits now!
Fuck it, I'ma be an adult man playing with my action figures.
They're going to come back having not aged a day due to some Darwin/Synch power magic.
X of Swords right now is lookin kind of silly. Though, i'm not sure what I was expecting.
Finally.
Finally.
They picked those 3 in universe because they can survive everything
Also out of universe future writers can just write Darwin and Laura and easily ignore it if they don't feel like
Captain America spent like at least a decade in a different dimension and they handwave that with ssr keeos him young so future writers can ignore it
Darwin and Synch are the ones who won't legitimately age, but Laura will still age inside. Her regeneration just means she ages slower, and who actually knows when it'll kick in since she's had healing her entire life and still aged to roughly 16-20 at a regular rate. The aging pause might not kick in until she's 37 and freeze her at that age for 200 years or some shit.
Cap not aging over 10 years is relatively insignificant in the grand scheme, Cap not aging over 200 or 1000 years would be the thing; same with Laura.
But they could all come out, die, and be immediately resurrected into their old bodies anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter much.
Given Logan made it 1,000 years with barely any changes, she'll be alright.
But that just reinforces my question. Logan looks 40-50 after 1000 years. When Laura comes out, she's not going to be a teenager.
Maturation isn't aging. They're two different processes that both happen to be generally tied to time.
Don't worry, they're going to have a Beyblade match. It's going to be fine.
Hilarious and accurate. That run was so dreadful. The Draco, Husk/Angel, that stupid nurse, Stacy X... but hey at least he got Northstar on the team for a bit. Any screen time for Jean Paul and I'm excited.
Storm vs Death, while fast, was really great
Mojo tease, maybe nothing but has me wondering
The cable stuff was meh and it feels too obviously set up for that reaction
So bummed with Pogg
I feel like we all saw that coming in Hellions
And final thought, once again the timing in these feel off. Hellions ends and Cable starts with a weird gap in how Hellions ended.

Duggan and Wells bringing the funny this week. Loved the interactions between Sinister and Havoc.
I'm very curious what the new versions of some of these characters will be like.
Gorgon especially.
I'm thinking the genetic material stolen from the Locus Vile is going to provide a template for the Chimeras going forward.
Damn, today's books were very good.
Hellions plot could be a can of worms, but I love to hate Sinister.
Gorgon was the MVP, damn.
Next week Apoc and Genesis fight on X-Men, yet there are 2 more books, Excalibur and X of Swords finale.
What an odd event!

Gorgon brought that work.
Krakoa was definitely set up to fail here though. Gorgon is a skilled fighter, but he's not someone well suited to winning that kind of fight.
Storm, Magik, or even Wolverine would have put the contest well out of reach had White Sword done something *that* stupid in a contest.
Edit: also did anyone else read Fantastic Four? Hickman has to be pissed
I don't see that particular retcon sticking but it has to have been run past the X office right? Especially with it coming from who it came from.
EDIT: There's no way this is the conclusion to Franklin's time as a mutant after them highlighting it so much.

The issue of Slott or Brevoort or whoever not wanting to be forced tie into the mutant shenanigans is understandable. One of the dangers of making an out of franchise character a major player in your book.
I'm more curious what happens with Scarlet Witch, where I imagine her MCU status and the inevitable massive popularity of Wanda vision will interfere with what Hickman wants as well. I don't think it's a coincidence her X-Men appearance has been limited to a mostly jokey event tie-in that may not even get referenced again. Though I saw that it's been collected in the DoX trades so maybe later.

It seems directly at odds with the FF/Xmen crossover we just got.
Wanda I don't see being relevant at all since Hickman's position was always that she wasn't a mutant to begin with, and Mutants don't exist in the MCU at all yet anyway.
Even before the retcon Wanda was an Avengers character that rarely if ever had much to do with the X-books until House of M.
It's important to note that FF/X-Men wasn't edited by the X-Office. For all we know Hickman never had full access to Franklin. IIRC both FF and FF/X-Men were edited by Brevoort.
I'm more thinking of Wanda being forced to face Krakoa, which seems like it's being set up. But in the worst case Hickman will just her boogeyman for Exodus' radicalization of the Krakoan youth.
Wanda has already been setup in these books as the devil which, to me, makes me think that she will feature prominently in the future of Krakoa.
Otherwise, they could have just ignored her (like most of Marvel has done in the last 10 years...)
Here's a thought... what if the nation of Krakoa uses their international political recognition to force a country to extradite Wanda for crimes against mutants?
That would setup a nice conflict amongst the Avengers, as well as internal conflict within the Avengers team (from what I understand, she is loved by some, but is seen as problematic by most everyone)
