What's In The Boxes? Mars Attacks In X-Men Comics Today (XSpoilers)

Fall Of The House Of X #2, Wolverine #43, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #1 and X-Men Unlimited Infinity #126 published this week from Marvel

Fall Of The House Of X #2, Wolverine #43, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #1 and X-Men Unlimited Infinity #126 are published this week from Marvel Comics as the invasion of Earth begins. Indeed, it may already have begun in future issues of Iron Man…

Sentinel Buster Iron Man armour, eh? We haven't seen that yet.

But Emma Frost has the Orchis situation in hand in New York at least.

As Betsy Braddock, Rictor, and Shatterstar are freeing British-kept mutants from Orchis, in relation to Scott Summer's trial in Paris, France. And how do we know it's in Paris, France?

The execution is taking place at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. There's still plenty of Orchis technology to be wary of elsewhere. Sabretooth has a box.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver also have a box from their adoptive father, Magneto. Who is dead buy, courtesy of Storm, may be getting better.

But for Sabretooth's box, it's closer to Seven, as he jerry-rigs something that seems straight out of Dennis Potter's Cold Lazarus.

Always good to have a telepath in a box. Betsy Braddock and co turn mutant detectives…

Meanwhile, Scarlet Witch is trying to track down who sent a letter from Magneto to her and Quicksilver.

Might one suspect be the biological daughter of Magneto, currently leading an army of Brood to take down Orchis's space station, The Bloom?

The Firestar issue gets talked down, but there are still other members of the Quiet Council causing trouble, as Selene has her Externals on a leash.

While it looks like Orchis has found another way to deal with mutants by just removing their powers.

While Nightcrawler has returned to killing folk, willy and nilly.

While Krakoa is in play…

…it looks like Doug Ramsey planted something grown by Krakoa on one of the Exiles.

The Externals might have something to say about that as their very bodies were used to build the link from Krakoa to Otherworld and Arakko…

While it's the Exiles in Wolverine trying to do their own thing now.

We also get a return to the X-Men Mansion, who definitely stopped paying for the gardening service, resembling Krakoa…

Manifold. Destiny. Almost as if they are doing this on purpose…
