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

Who is that?!

Even this lifelong X-Fan was scratching my head with this week’s Death of X #3 as a minor character the past is recruited by Cyclops for a big league return and will play a huge role in the upcoming war between the X-Men and Inhumans.

Death of X is revealing the origin of the IvX conflict, the fate of Cyclops and Emma Frost and more of what happened in the eight months following the Secret Wars finale and All-New, All-Different Marvel Now Extraordinary X-Men launch.

The four-part series by Charles Soule, Jeff Lemire and Aaron Kuder already featured the return of several missing in action mutants and the death of a fan-favorite. Along with Cyclops and Emma Frost we have witnessed the return of mutants from multiple eras including Wolfsbane, Warpath, Goldballs and the Stepford Cuckoos.

In part three Cyclops recruits a character not seen in decades for his master plan to save the mutant race. Who is this mutant? Continue reading DEATH OF X Surprise X-MEN Comeback
