The Final Pieces Of X-Men, Orchis, Krakoa, Moira. Mysterium & Magneto

Here comes Cable #2, Dead X-Men #2, Invincible Iron Man #15, Resurrection Of Magneto #2, Wolverine #44 and X-Men Unlimited #128.

The end games are coming for the Krakoan Age. And all the X-Men comic books are playing their part, some more than others admittedly. And Iron Man is playing an even more significant part than some of them. This week's titles include Cable #2, Dead X-Men #2, Invincible Iron Man #15, Resurrection Of Magneto #2, Wolverine #44 and X-Men Unlimited #128.

I have no idea why the Krakoan language in the necrosphere of Resurrection Of Magneto reads "BJ, " but I don't think I'd take one from the depicted hentai horror. UPDATE: I am a fool. Not The Fool but still. Spencer Carney reminds me "The B and J refers to Boaz and Jachin, as depicted in the Rider Waite-Smith High Priestess tarot card."

Jachin and Boaz, two copper, brass or bronze pillars which stood on the porch of Solomon's Temple, the first Temple in Jerusalem. Sitting between a black and white altar, The High Princess acknowledges duality. Life and death…

And as Magneto recalls the punishment enacted upon Sabretooth and other mutants…

Over in Wolverine, those events are also revisited.

Magneto blaming himself for all those punished in the Krakoan pit.

While in Wolverine, it is Logan who gets the blame for the same events.

Tony Stark finds fault with Krakoa and Wolverine for leaving plenty of Logan's unresurrected corpses around to be taken and used by Orchis…

But also himself for giving Orchis his plans to take down every mutant. The success of the attack on the Hellfire Gala, basically, being Tony Stark's fault.

But it's time for his new suit to make an entrance.

One that Bleeding Cool learned was coming back in November…

An armour made from the mutant metal of mysterium, made from kirbons forged in the heart of the Phoenix's White Hot Room. And one of the intergalactic gifts/bribes of Krakoa.

Cable just finds a mutant who never received those gifts, as they never came to Krakoa for a very obvious reason.

While Betsy Braddock is dealing with an inferno at a young mutants prison in the name of King Charles.

Feilong gets his own armour for the battle.

So Iron Man sets up a meet and greet for Feilong and the Stark Sentinels…

Which might give Wolverine a clear run at Krakoa.

How long has Betsy Braddock been in America – or Krakoa – that she would call British police and firefighters "First responders?" That's the real reason they should be shooting her.

The Dead X-Men are doing their best to reboot the entire timeline, courtesy of Charles Xavier going to kill Moira Macgtaggert as a baby…

Magneto knows how messed up that is. But they are also looking at a back up plan.

Travelling to the various already-rebooted lives of Moira Mactaggert to learn strategy to deal with this one.

Specifically, her eighth timeline is straight from Powers Of X and Assassin Moira.

But all this comes with the knowledge that the Dead X-Men may be unable to resurrect via the Krakoan Five…

But that may be off the table anyway…

As it is possible that Magneto's Resurrection may be the final one.

Mutant Resurrection, a key proponent of the Age Of Krakoa, that tackles the audience's belief that no mutant would actually die permanently and turned it into a narrative strength, is coming off the table.

The final pieces are in place.

And whatever reality you are in, it's all about being attacked by giant robots… and for Iron Man to turn into a kaiju fighter.

A new massive armour, crafted by Asgardian Dwarves, powered by Mysterium, and starting the fightback against Orchis by the mutants of Krakoa and Arakko. Man, Emma Frost is going to owe Tony Stark big…
