nm, apparently it was some lame joke about Juggernaut #1 being included there even though it's not officially a DoX book

Listen, if we can't constantly remind a girl about her one big failure in life and prevent or walk back any character progress from it, can we really say we're cape comic book fans?

Maybe she can hook up with Hank Pym so the entire Marvel Universe can have one joint punching bag.

Maybe Pym and "punching bag" are a bad combo, especially when talking about another woman.

Of course he's not dead, you saw him eating dinner with his family at the end of the issue.

We will likely see old man cable again, but he'll be old man this guy, unless current cable is Smythe.

Or regular old man Cable is on the resurrection list somewhere due to complicated rules on the handling of resurrection of time displaced alternates. They might get a lower priority if a 'current' version is around. Has young Cable died? Maybe they'll alternate versions.

I love a good ridiculous scenario for policy discussion.

Young Cable pulling a Bill and Ted to get himself out of his space knight conundrum was great. And very timely too with the new Bill and Ted movie out.

I can’t be the only person mostly enjoying HiXmen who’s pretty cold on X of Swords, right? From everything I’ve seen, it’s primarily following up on Arakko and the Otherworld poo poo from Excalibur, neither of which are anywhere near the top of my list of most intriguing plot threads of the DoX era. Oh well, maybe Creation will change my mind, idk.

It hasn't started yet, so I don't think most people have much of an opinion on the actual story.

Just exhaustion looking at the checklist of 22 tie-ins.

I really really liked the part in New Mutants where Glob genuflects upon his past. It's a great callback to his actions during the Riot at Xavier's arc in Morrison's run that I never would have thought would happen.

However, the part where the righteous mutants walked into Bigot Caricatures HQ and gave a big long on-camera lecture against the bigots about why they're wrong was...well, unfortunately as awkward as every other time this has ever happened, which is a lot. The only thing that should realistically have happened is that the bigots roll their eyes at Magik and then release a doctored clip of the footage to the world that only shows her waving a sword in his face and nothing else.

If anyone here ordered the new Haslabs Sentinel, I better see a picture reenacting “It appears to be the ace of spades.”

Also, I just finished the Brood Saga in Uncanny X-Men, and it was really good and really weird with the space whale spirits. After that I read Annual #5, and the ending with Wolverine staking (I already forgot her name) Van Helsing was really good, especially for the time
