X-Men & Orchis, Kingpin & Krakoa, Now With Added Spider-Man (Spoilers)

Marvel publish Wolverine, Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny Spider-Man, X-Men Infinity, Original X-Men, Astonishing Iceman and Amazing Spider-Man.

This week sees Marvel publish Wolverine #40, Uncanny Avengers #5, Uncanny Spider-Man #5, X-Men Infinity Unlimited #117 , Original X-Men #1, Astonishing Iceman #5, and Amazing Spider-Man #40. Everything is heading towards the big Orchis Vs X-Men finale amongst the Marvel mutant comic books… with Wolverine heading into space.

And Spider-Man is getting dragged along, in one of a few  ways today.

In Wolverine #40, Logan is taking Spider-Man on an impromptu trip into space to take out an Orchis space station. As you do. He does make it down to New York eventually. Everyone makes it to New York.

But naturally, Orchis is waiting for them. While over in Uncanny Spider-Man in New York, Nightcrawler gets to rewrite Spider-Man's motto.

While in Uncanny Avengers, Spider-Man's newspaper, the Daily Bugle in New York,  courtesy of Ben Urich, is reporting on Spider-Man enemy and recent ally of the mutants, The Kingpin of crime, Wilson Fisk, defending the X-Men and attacking Orchis in the press, in the memory of his mutant wife, Typhoid Mary.

Of course, Realm Of X readers will know that Typhoid Mary survived the assault on Krakoa, and was shunted across to Vanaheim, and is on her way back…

…but in Amazing Spider-Man, she has returned to Wilson Fisk's side. And they may have a New York Gang War to deal with rather than a mutant war. X-Men Infinity Unlimited #117 reminds us that where there is war, there is also Christmas, even in hell, and Hannukkah under the streets of New York.

Even on the planet of Arakko, though they have a slightly different version.

Iceman keeps things festive as a literal snowman, albeit one who has just had a big New York rescue,

Even while a parallel version of himself in a parallel New York is fighting off himself.

But there is war to come. Mystique sees it as a rising up of the mutant masses…

…while Wolverine looks to the mutants on Arakko…

… where their war has taken place…

Still, Orchis still seem to be chipper, with the trial of Cyclops expecting to be a PR stunt for them…

… and that it is just the first part of their plan.

And while Bea mourns Doug Ramsey…

…his other half is being used by Orchis in New York…

As Orchis brainwash New York, they have bigger Handmaid's Tale-style plans…

Something parallel Iceman sees to be very aware of.

It's a fight for survival.

While Wolverine is looking forward to whatever Tom Brevoort brings…
