Battle Of The Atom Spoils Its Own Future

One of the greatest joys of writing stories involving the future, must be giving sneak peeks of what is to come. From the look at the adult Legion Of Superheroes, to Days Of Future Past, to The Dark Knight Returns, much of the subsequent joy is seeing if stories will line up to what has been set for them… or not. Steven Moffat even gave River Song the "Spoilers, sweetie!" line which became rather addictive.

Battle Of The Atom has given us a child of Wolverine and Mystique, a big boy Shojo, warped and twisted Beast, a split Ice Man, a hardened Jubilee, all with a full long lived life reflected in their attitude and appearance.

But in today's Uncanny X-Men, with said Wolverique Raze on the cover, we get more glimpses of days of future yet to come.

We know Illyana has died by future Colossus' response to her. But how?

Ouch.

Is there an Avengers Vs Fantastic Four series in the offing? And a bigger role for Molly?

What did she unleash? What? What?

Oh you little tease. Oh and finally, it must be good having Raze on the team, but a little confusing.

"Who do you want on your team?"

"I want a Raze."

"I'm sure you do, but now is not the time and place for such discussions."

"No, I mean my team needs a Raze"

"Well there's just no way our superhero budget will stretch to that."

"Give me a Raze!"

"You're fired!"

Etc…

Uncanny X-Men #8 is published by Marvel today. Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London, currently exhibiting the work of Esad Ribic.
