Too Soon For Jokes About Scarlet Witch, Cyclops (X-Men #1 Spoilers)

At the end of SWORD #6, we saw a reunion of Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff with her once-supposed father Magneto, on the island of Krakoa. By the end of X-Factor #10, the Scarlet Witch was dead, murdered, with Magneto and his bloody helmet the prime suspect. Quite the cliffhanger, even if life continues on at the Hellfire Gala afterparty. But in today's X-Men #1, with Cyclops talking to Magneto's actual daughter Polaris, there seems a moment of levity.

A joke about killing the Scarlet Witch? To the daughter of someone who may be the prime suspect, with The Trial Of Magneto on its way? I'm going to call Scott Summers out for too-soon-ism here. At least when Star makes injokes to Scarlet Witch in Amazing Spider-Man Annual out today…

It's a take on that No More Mutants scene from the Scarlet Witch that kicked off House Of M a couple of decades ago, and not about her being murdered, and being made to any relation of those involved.

I mean, Star does murder her old gym teacher, but that's by the by…
