I think I’m ready to talk about the Death of X finale.

They say you only hurt the ones you love. Marvel must be truly, madly, deeply in love with Scott Summers.

Fans have known for a year that Cyclops died in the eight month gap after the Secret Wars finale and All-New, All-Different Marvel Now launch. I kept believing it wasn’t so. Emma Frost was missing in action. The X-Men’s modern mainstay power couple was off the grid as the mutant race faced a new genetic crisis.

Death of X #4 revealed the truth after a year of speculation and set the stage for war in Inhumans vs. X-Men next month.

Did Scott and Emma deserve what Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule crafted for them in this shocking and emotional finale? Continue reading DEATH OF X Finale Burning Questions

Ewing confirmed the Royals will leave Earth and head for the Kree homeworld and watch for the return of Ronan the Accuser, he’s still cosmically enhanced from events in The Black Vortex. Old school fans may remember Crystal was once married to the Kree warlord. Marvel Boy is not an Inhuman but is of Kree descent from another dimension.
