Illyana you have been warned…again!

Storm’s Extraordinary X-Men fought to save the life of Apocalypse (yes, you read right) in this week’s issue 12. A greater evil could be growing within X-Haven.

Writer Jeff Lemire and artist Humberto Ramos delivered the latest chapter of Apocalypse Wars while giving another ominous warning about a threat that’s been building since their first issue.

Storm, Iceman, Jean Grey, Logan, Nightcrawler and Cerebra are trapped a thousand years in the future after pursuing hundreds of mutant embryos. In this Omega World Colossus had been transformed into a Horseman of Apocalypse.

After a thrilling issue, we have twisted cliffhanger with a X-Man turned rogue and the team forced to save and keep one of their oldest enemies alive. But this is an important chapter for Magik fans and what’s next. Continue reading EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN MAGIK Warning II

EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN MAGIK Warning

What is The Fall of the Kingdoms?

A mystical showdown in this week’s Extraordinary X-Men #7 could be a big clue as to what’s ahead for the supernatural forces and heroes of the Marvel Universe.

Someone is killing Sorcerer Supremes and The Last Days of Magic are happening in Doctor Strange. Witchcraft is broken and Wanda Maximoff is on a global search for answers in Scarlet Witch.

Magik is a mutant but a powerful sorceress, the Queen of the Limbo realm and has grown more powerful under the tutelage of Doctor Strange.

Is a Magik encounter the latest hint that Marvel is conjuring a huge event involving all their supernatural heroes and books? Continue reading EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN MAGIK Warning

EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN CYCLOPS SHOCKER

Jeff Lemire packed a ton in his first Extraordinary X-Men arc. In five issues the Children of the Atom faced a new genetic threat, an old adversary and demons of Limbo as Storm assembled a new team, discovered the shocking truth about Cyclops and was guided (or haunted) by a ghost of the past.

Every issue so far left a ton of questions. This week’s thrilling finale of the first arc set the new status quo for the X-Men to the world with unmissable future story possibilities.

The Terrigen Mists are killing mutants. Cyclops attacked the Inhumans and now he’s dead. Storm assembled Magik, Colossus, Iceman, young Jean Grey and Old Man Logan to rescue mutants from the Terrigen threat. The search for Nightcrawler led to Mister Sinister and his new Marauders.

Sinister unveiled a shocker last issue but Lemire was only getting started with the shock and awe. The final fate of Cyke is not what we thought. Continue reading EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN CYCLOPS SHOCKER

The mutant race is on the fast track to extinction again. The Terrigen Mists creating new Inhumans are killing and sterilizing mutants. Cyclops attacked the Inhumans and now he’s been declared dead.
