More X-Men Inferno Teasers As Marvel Comics Ramps Up (UPDATE)

We were just pointing out that Marvel had released one Inferno house ad that we talked about last week as coming, and that we expected the second with Destiny, Mystique Emma Frost to follow. But rather than that, we got a third one with Psylocke, Bishop, and Colossus who have all been working for Krakoa on a variety of missions, and have suffered in the process.

And we can't trust them either? And what about the anticipated "Mystique, Moira MacTaggert, Destiny – Our Enemies Cannot Be Trusted". Well, on the current form, we will be updating this article shortly to include that. But until then, here is something we should definitely not have seen, that features all three. Shhhh… you didn't see this here, right?

This is also the week that lots of comic shops switch over their Marvel orders from Diamond to Penguin Random House, so Marvel really want them to be aware of this one, I guess. UPDATE: Here we go, as predicted.

A week ago, Bleeding Cool told you that Marvel Comics was planning to run two house ads ahead of the launch of Inferno, and they seem to harken back a little to the classic New Mutants – Do You Know What Your Children Are? house ads back in the day. The first shows Magneto, Emma Frost and Professor X, side by side staring at the camera, with the headline "Xavier, Emma Frost, Magneto, Our Leaders Cannot Be Trusted" with Inferno starting in September. This is followed by another house ad with Mystique, Moira MacTaggert, Destiny in a similar pose with the legend "Mystique, Moira MacTaggert, Destiny – Our Enemies Cannot Be Trusted" and now Colossus, Psylocke, Bishop. Our Allies Can't Be Trusted." There's really not a lot of trust around right now.

Because up to this point, Moira MacTaggart was seen on the side of the leaders, albeit it, hidden in the bowels of Krakoa. What if that wasn't true? What if she was buried there by the Quiet Council? We had been led to believe that it was Moira who forbade the Quiet Council from resurrecting Destiny for Mystique, as pre-cognitives could foil the Krakoan plans. And that Destiny had previously commanded Mystique that if that request was refused, she should burn the place to the ground. And that may have started with the Marauder boat. But here it appears that Moira, Destiny, and Mystique are on the same side, opposed to the Quiet Council. Did something else go down that we are unaware of? Possibly, this is a Jonathan Hickman-showrun operation after all. Inferno is coming…
