Four Fall Of X titles are out this week, X-Men Unlimited #112, X-Force #46, X-Men Red #17 and Uncanny Spider-Man #3, with a little crossover into Thanos #1 and Amazing Spider-Man #37. X-Men Red sees more mutants sent to Mars by Orchis, transported further to the Shi'Ar Empire, most have been enslaved by the warring Arakki factions on Mars.
While in X-Men Unlimited, Judas Traveller lists some of Orchis operations across the Marvel Universe…
Tooms and his hounds? We get to see them today in Uncanny Spider-Man, with Dagger, Feral…
…and Cloak.
This is more mind control at work, courtesy of The Vulture, part of Orchis, and known here as Commander Toomes. It turns out the techno-organic nature of Nimros used to invade the Island of Krakoa for the night of the Hellfire Gala.
It looks like Orchis have been using Warlock, the techno-organic alien mutant, for some time. How long as it been since that fateful night when everything changed?
Domino claims it as "months" in X-Force. A timeframe echoes by Apocalypse in X-Men Red as well.
Mysterium would have been turned into a sword rather than currency. Iron Man over in Thanos also seems to have chosen it to make a weapon as well…
And Adrian Tooms has done just that to Warlock.
X-Force has seen how writing as been turned into a weapon…
Orchis remains all about the optics of warfare in X-Men Unlimited.
While X-Men Red has done that to a whole island mass, as Krakoa, Arakko and Okkora bring forth the Man-Thing beast Kaorak….
And even old friends…
Is there a New Warriors revival coming? Is everything to be turned into a weapon these days? Maybe not song. Not yet.
As we get a classic hot from Lima Cheney, Superpositional, which sounds a bit Chvrches to me… oh and yes, we get full lyrics because this is a Krakoan era X-men book and there must be text pages.
Si Spurrier, I expect a rendition of this at the earliest possibility. Thought Buble this weekend? Mid-Con party? It could happen…
Yeah, let's not talk about ex-teleporters, right? And talking of blue furry mutants…
Not even the Beast is showing his face in X-Force today.
