Interrogations, Memberships & Krakoa In Today's X-Books (XSpoilers)

Interrogations, Memberships & Krakoa in Storm, Laura Kinney Wolverine, Psylocke, X-Men, West Coast Avengers and Ultimate Wolverine

Storm #1, Laura Kinney Wolverine #6, Psylocke #7, X-Men #16, West Coast Avengers #8 and Ultimate Wolverine #5 are all published by Marvel Comics today. But where are the joining threads? So the Thunder War is coming, the Storm/Asgard crossover heading our way. But in today's Storm #8 by Murewa Ayodele and Lucas Werneck, which I think may have become my favourite X-Men book as it still maintains the political aspect that the Krakoan Age once had, and handles it well, Ororo gets a letter. A summons. From the US government. Which, these days, never really goes well.

While X-Men #16 is all about presenting a Challenger X-Men, those created by Cassandra Nova's 3K terrorist group. Roll call!

X-Men Group Editor does like a roll call. Ever character named, under his editorialship, Withnail And I would have been called Withnail And Steve, or something., And he may be right. Storm does a similar trick in her absence, for those in her sanctuary planning an entertainment fight off.

See what I mean about the Krakoaness of it all? Juggernaut is busy today, of course…

And I did mock Tom Brevoort a little bit, but fair play to him, he talked about his personal distaste of the character Magik, but man, she is everywhere, her own series, taking front stage in X-Men….

As well as popping up in Psylocke. There's more Magik around these days than ever before. And while some seem keen to bring back Krakoa…

There is still a need for such a thing it seems.

It is all something that Laura Kinney: Wolverine is being convinced never actually happened.

These Wolverines are looking less and less like you'd expect, while Ultimate Wolverine…

Well, he is looking more and more. Celebrating Movember early, Logan? Got your plastic fangs in for Halloween?

And while all this may feel like an interrogation for different Wolverines…

There's an actual one over in Storm. Looking into the impact of illegal aliens in the United States. Obviously the irony is on the nose.

Though he doesn't seem to have much of one. And talking of interrogations…

Seriously, Beast, there's a time and a place. No more sarcastic comments about parenting, leave that for today's Amazing Spider-Man…
