The Deadliest Of Pillow Fights and More Throuples in Today's Dawn Of X (Five Of Them) Comics (Spoilers)
Today sees the release of five, count 'em, five new Marvel X-Men comic books. Seriously now. Five. That's twenty bucks. Just saying, okay? Five. Right then. How essential are these – if at all – to following the story of Krakoa? We have X-Force, New Mutants, Fallen Angels, Excalibur and Marauders, all with their fourth issues.
Excalibur dives into Captain Britain lore with a Parliamentary act defining the difference between Britain and Otherworld, the magical dimension that the Braddocks came from, which all feels a bit like Bros Johnson's last-minute deal to exit the Europen Union.
But will there be a hard border across the dimensions and what will the leprechauns have to say about that? Jamie Braddock has obviously been reading the Bar Sinister gossip rag about a certain mutant throuple, Cyclops, Wolverine and Jean Grey.
Anyway, the new Captain Britain, Betsy Braddock seems to ignore Parliament entirely and parley with Queen Elizabeth II herself.
How very Gloriana of her. And now that she's met the Queen, like any true Brit, she isn't going to let anyone forget it. Whether friend…
… or foe…
Well, his goading will get you to mention the Queen again. But someone won't want to speak to Betsy Braddock, Queen or no Queen.
That's Kwannon, the new/old Psyclocke in Fallen Angels. And this early rant done, this comic need not bother the citizens of Krakoa one jot…
…not right now, anyway. While X-Force answers the question about how Wolverine can keep his adamantium bones when he reborn and brought back from the dead by the Five…
…with a bath full of adamantium. Still it appears that investigations into Krakoa have been woeful.
That's right, Professor Charles Xavier's secret was investing in a company called Xavier PharmaXeuticals. Is that hiding in plain sight. That was always Ninja Kate Pryde's trick but these days, she resorts to simple pillow fights in Marauders.
Pillow fights that maim.
While New Mutants tackles how the rest of the world sees mutants and Krakoa with some celebrity gossip.
And talking of celebrities, Marauders has another mutant to mention.
Jumbo Carnation, remember what the Bar Sinister gossip sheet said?
INISTER SECRET #2 And speaking of fashion, the whisper network has turned into a roar regarding the return of this trendsetting mutant who was cut down in his prime. Will someone please tell all these mutants to stop wearing human clothes and join the stampede across their island full of flowers to the flower that's the fullest?
Jumbo Carnation, the eccentric mutant fashion designer from Morrison's New X-Men run. It's implying that he's among the many mutants back from the dead on Krakoa. And now, thanks to Kate Pryde, we know…

X-Force, New Mutants, Fallen Angels, Excalibur and Marauders #4 are all published today from Marvel Comics. I bought mine from Piranha Comics in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Piranha Comics is a small south London comic store chain with a small south-east store in Kingston-Upon Thames's market centre, which runs Magic The Gathering nights on Fridays, and a larger south-west store in Bromley, which also runs Magic nights and has an extensive back issue collection and online store. If you are in the neighbourhood, check them out.
