Too Many Wolverines In This Week's X-Men Comics (Spoilers)

X-Men #18, Wolverine #29 and Legion Of X #9 bring us Wolverines, Orchises and Sinister plans afoot in this week's Krakoan comics from Marvel.

The Sins Of Sinister may be upon us, but the X-Men are still trying to be the good guys in the Krakoan comic books out today. X-Men #18 sees the team rescuing the mutant-hating Orchis, for their sins, from a space station blow out, alongside Firestar, the character voted onto the X-Men by the reading public in last year's X-Vote.

This is her only line in the entire comic. Even the X-Terminators from a different comic book get more to say.

They're doing another X-Men vote this year, I hope the winner survives the experience. The Beast lays out just who they have rescued.

The Beast does like growing his clones, doesn't he? Maybe he is the fourth Mister Sinister clone along, a spade logo hidden under his blue fur?

Of course, there is also the mindless version of Wolverine that Beast grew, without much of a brain, to be used as a black ops killing machine.

Not the only Wolverine to be resurrected in an off-the-books fashion.

Now that we have two – I mean three – Wolverines on Krakoa.

Although that may be down to two any day now.

Or just one.

Maybe none?

Basically no one likes the Beast. But he's not wrong about Orchis. Maybe they should have had someone in there to avoid what happens in Legion Of X…

Will Orchis be revealed as one of Sinister's sins?
