Article Summary

Explore reality-warping mutant Benjamin Lui's romantic missteps in X-Men #14.
Dive into Mephisto's fashion in Hellverine, echoing Rocky Horror vibes.
Revisit X-Statix's O-Force; Orifice goes rogue, challenging Psylocke.
Quentin Quire's struggles and Deadpool's Arakko return keep fans guessing.

So, reality warping mutant Benjamin Lui makes a certain advance in today's X-Men #14, but doesn't really get anywhere.

Maybe he should have waited until Sir Ian McKellen was playing him again. While over in Hellverine, Mephisto has his own tastes playing out…

And has the Rocky Horror wardrobe to match.

There's going to be some fun cosplay this summer, right? Talking of which, back in 2002, X-Statix #1 gave a one-panel introduction to back-up members of O-Force who never got a bigger gig…

A number of which turned up recently with Trevor Fitzory in X-Men #4 as members of his new Upstarts… Orbit, Ocelot and, yes, Orifice.

Today's Psylocke #6 sees Kwannon fighting an Orifice who has gone solo…. and is looking even more disturbing than usual.

But it looks like he is quite a slippery Orifice…

As Psylocke has been experiencing some…performance issues.

Quentin Quire however is having some more of his own performance issues back in X-Men #14…

And Psylocke's distracted possession creates more mutant monstrosities.

While X-Men has a look at its own… on Earth…

…as it is in heaven.

As Psylocke necessitates a crossover to the Uncanny side of the line…

And it looks like Deadpool is going to be getting back into the Arakko game… which is more than any of the other Xbooks are doing right now aside from Aliens Vs Avengers…

Solem vs Orifice, that's the match all X-Men fans are dreaming of right now.
