Oh No They're Doing Romulus Again – Krakoan X-Men Comics Today

Published Wed, 16 Feb 2022 09:47:10 -0600

Yup, X Lives Of Wolverine is doing Romulus again. As part of a desire to dig up the most loathed parts of X-Men continuity, that Wolverine was descended from wolves or something. Homo lupus. And Romulus was the big daddy of them all, who attacked Wolverine and his pregnant partner and ended up taking his child Daken from her corpse.

Though it later turned out to be The Winter Soldier who had laid the fatal blow.

But now it seems to be Romulus' turn again, possessed by the present day Omega Red, travelling back through time just as Wolverine is doing, firts trying to wipe out Professor Xavier's existence, then messing with Wolverine's timeline to stop him from stopping Omega Red.

With the timeline in flux as a result.

It;s so much easier for Logan in the new X-Men Unlimited Infinity #20 comic from Declan Shalvey. Something linear, chasing after AIM.

With some good friends in tow.

And none of them being possessed by Omega Red. In X-Men #9, the other Wolverine, Laura Kinney is showing some more symptoms of the resurrection protocol.

We have seen mutants return with different tastes, different thoughts, even enhanced powers. With this Wolverine losing her swimming prowess.

Whereas the original Wolverine is all down for swimming in blood. It's a much more pleasant tone in Marvel's Voices: Legacy, one of the classic X-Men characters fulfils her role on Krakoa.

While Negasonic Teenage Warhead has her own recruitment policy for future X-Men.

Though they appear to be exclusively X-Women. And at least sees her catch up with her portrayal in Deadpool 2.

As for resurrection protocols, and who knows about mutants coming back from the dead, it looks like journalist Ben Urich is no longer a problem, but he did name the next launching X-Men comic book, which is nice of him.

And it's not like the Immortal X-Men are immortal in every parallel dimension, such as the one that the Hulk is currently visiting…

Children of the atom indeed…
