X-Men #1 is published this Wednesday, sooner on digital. X-MEN #1 MARVEL COMICS FEB248771 (W) Jed MacKay (A/CA) Ryan Stegman FROM THE ASHES! Krakoa is gone, ORCHIS has fallen…but the X-Men remain, always Cyclops leads, because that is what he does Beast builds, because that is what he does And from their new home in Alaska, the X-Men raise a flag[...]

Not taken into the great Phoenix beyond… could they be used by any flailing X-Men team looking for a base? It has to be better than making your house out of a crashed Orchis ship in Alaska, surely, #gallery-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see[...]

The latter of which gathers Betsy Braddock's Captain Britain and others against Selene, which is why they are not around for the big Orchis fight… #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ So it could have been worse, I guess[...]

X-Men's Big Krakoan Villain was meant to be someone other than Moira Mactaggert... but who was it? And will we ever know?

)", do you think he was talking about X-Men Unlimited Infinity? #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Because the characters collected together do have a bit of a random, not-needed-for-battle-against-Orchis feel to them Even with a few Arakkiin thrown in. #gallery-2 { margin:[...]

To justify the label, though, it still checks in with Orchis and the like. X-Men Unlimited has been doing similar, dealing with an external threat That are the Externals. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Though it mostly explains why certain useful[...]

Forget About Orchis[...]

And, as Orchis becomes less of a threat, with even their Stark Sentinels becoming a joke, what the AI side of them is summoning is becoming more of one. So Professor Xavier betraying the X-Men to Orchis… Is probably less of an issue right now. So we have multiple Mother Righteous, one with Xavier and one with the[...]

For months, the X-Men have been struggling to fight Orchis after the slaughter of the Hellfire Gala As Tony Stark's own technology was seized and merged with Sentinel tech to create the Stark Sentinels Each primed against a myriad of mutant threats But what once seemed unbeatable can now seem rather… beatable And some of[...]

I know people say that Marvel Comics events land on top of one another these days, but this is a little much, is it not? One notable twist in Avengers #12, out earlier this month was that former Avenger 3-D Man was working for Orchis against the mutants – or specifically the Avengers, brought in[...]

Now, to reverse Krakoa ever existing and garnering the ire of Orchis from the future, Professor X went back in time to kill Moira Mactaggert before she gained her mutant power of resetting the timeline, and doom Krakoa's very existence Or, as Charles Xavier would never put it, "My bad". Today's X-Men Krakoan titles Fall Of[...]

And Magneto? Depends which one. There's the one that Tony Stark is hallucinating in his own book. And the one in his own book, back from the dead, out in the ocean dealing with an Orchis sea base the only way he knows how, as they wonder where The Stark Sentinels are Destroyed by Iron Man in[...]

The final days of X-Men Vs Orchis are approaching and Orchis are panicking all over the place, with X-Men #33 and X-Men Unlimited #133 But first with The 3-D Man working as an Avengers expert for Orchis in today's Avengers #12. And Sebastian Shaw and son, Shinobi, working both for and against Orchis in X-Men #133. While[...]

So Tony Stark fights the Stark Sentinels in his biggest ever Sentinel Buster suit, built with the Mysterium forged in the White Hot Room, engineered by Riri Williams and built by the Dwarves of Nidavellir. While the X-Men in their other titles are taking down Orchis around the globe With X-Men Forever filling in all the[...]

The impact of Orchis and Krakoa continues to spill out across the rest of the Marvel Universe, with Anna Watson still in the Ravenscourt Institute after her Krakoan medicine to stave off dementia went wrong, as a direct impact of the Orchis incursion Called KDS apparently… I can hear the telethons now. Amazing Spider-Man #45 While Sabretooth[...]

But there are also moments relevant to the whole Krakoa/Orchis fight in Thanos #4 and Avengers #11 Spoilers ahead of course. Ms Marvel: Mutant Menace #1 While all manner of other aspects of modern life get dragged into the allegory. X-Men #32 What allegory you ask? Well, Emma Frost turns up with her new weapons courtesy of Tony Stark[...]

Life and death… Resurrection Of Magneto #2 And as Magneto recalls the punishment enacted upon Sabretooth and other mutants… Wolverine #44 Over in Wolverine, those events are also revisited. Wolverine #44 Magneto blaming himself for all those punished in the Krakoan pit. Resurrection Of Magneto #2 While in Wolverine, it is Logan who gets the blame for the same events. Invincible Iron Man #15 Tony[...]

Time for a bit of a recap from the Beast in X-Force #49. As the story of Krakoa and Orchis, Apocalypse and Nimrod, Earth and Arakko, gets told once more. Fall Of The House Of X #2, told from the point of view of the Nathaniel Essex-formed Dominion of our solar system, looking back to Moira Mactaggart's[...]

Indeed, it may already have begun in future issues of Iron Man… Fall Of The House Of X #2 Sentinel Buster Iron Man armour, eh? We haven't seen that yet. Fall Of The House Of X #2 But Emma Frost has the Orchis situation in hand in New York at least. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1[...]

An invasion of Earth by the Arakkii and Krakoan mutants Mars to depose Orchis That's the attempt anyway. X-Men #31 As Nightcrawler gets a rematch with a certain Nimrod Remember…. Uncanny X-Men #209 But that was some time ago Because the X-Men are busy doing all the prep work Even as Talon and Synch deal with the former's death[...]

That's even without the giant robot Sentinels coming to get you. But on Marvel Unlimited X-Men #121, some mutants who also happen to be Native Americans have found a loophole to get away from Orchis, on Native American reservations. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see[...]

Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck are creating the end of days for the Krakoan Age of the X-Men with Fall Of The House Of X.

So we know he recovers, as seen in this week's X-Men Unlimited Infinity #119, as the Arrakii prepare for their own very violent version of Christmas, the Blood Dawn (might that result in a Blue Moon?) as Orchis look for another mutant to take down… #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border:[...]

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[...]

While in Dark X-Men #5, the battle[...]

Kingpin's participation and facilitation of the X-Men,[...]
