This book leads into the events of "A.X.E.: Judgment Day". Can't wait to be able to read that crossover in entirety. Al Ewing continues his X-Men story that began in SWORD by bringing the action to Arakko. As a new Brotherhood makes themselves known, we get some spotlights on Vulcan, Magneto, and Storm as well that show why Ewing's always a good fit for literally any book he gets his hands on. Abigail quit Alpha Flight at the end of Empyre. Her replacement was Henry Gyrich, who evidently wasn’t predictable enough for her, because she killed him in S.W.O.R.D. #11. An annual was published in May 2018 to detail the events between Phoenix Resurrection and X-Men Red #1. [5] Volume 2 [ edit ]

Before getting to all that, Al Ewing wraps up the Judgment Day crossover, though the key moment where Magneto dies happens in the mini-series, which feels like a glaring absence in this volume. Then there's a brief issue in which the Arakkan survivors figure out what the do next - this all sailed right over my head, even though it was the political stuff I should be interested in. Sunu, Steve (20 December 2011). "Ennis & Ewing Spill "Jennifer Blood" & "The Ninjettes" ". Comic Book Resources . Retrieved 26 April 2012. Still, I'm surprised that someone took the time to recognize Sunspot's very first appearance in New Mutants 1. Sunspot mentioned Juliana for the first time in years; the white girl who died for love of him. That was kind of a deep cut reference. We get the epic sendoff of Magneto in the first two issues of this collection. That's probably the most memorable thing from the whole 'Judgement Day' crossover. With that event, we also learn of the 'Night Seats' a ...X-Force of sorts for the Arakko people. It's all secret secret, hush hush. There's an epic power shift happening on Arakko AND Krakoa and it's going to be affecting all the X titles. I heard the hype. Somehow I still expected to be let down by this book. I started it thinking I would read an issue or two before bed. Instead I read the whole volume in one sitting. I highly recommend reading right after finishing SWORD if you can.It's Official: X-Men Red Stealth-Canceled with December's X-Men Red #11". Bleeding Cool. October 16, 2018 . Retrieved December 26, 2018. My only real complaints about the art are relatively small, and one is not even about the art itself. I feel Caselli’s depiction of Sunspot could use some work, particularly the hair. Though his skin tone is an improvement from paler interpretations from other modern artists, da Costa’s Afro-Brazilian heritage seemingly does not extend to his crown, making him look like a skin-swapped Vulcan in a handful of panels. In addition, issue #7 lists Caselli as the featured artist despite the work on display being that of Musabekov. Credit should go where it’s due. The Verdict In May 2023, it was announced that Ewing would write The Immortal Thor, with Martín Cóccolo serving as artist and set to debut in August that same year. [15] Personal life [ edit ] The first two issues are the tie-ins to A.X.E. The Eternal Uranos has come to Arakko with forces and they meet with very strong resistance. Two main points here, both with long ramifications: 1) Isca the Unbeaten sides with the Eternals because she believes they will win and she has to win. For this, she is removed from the Great Circle. 2) Magneto, whose heart was ripped from his chest in A.X.E., finally succumbs to his wounds and dies, requesting that he not be resurrected.

Love it...hate it...this is the type of political intrigue and machinations that made S.H.I.E.L.D stories engaging. The storytelling in both volumes has been top tier. Al Ewing hits another one out of the park!Artistically, the issue is incredible. Storm’s dress alone would stand out, if not for the well-placed clippings of classic X-Men comics scattered throughout Storm’s thoughts. It’s a great way to indicate where her mind has been since the Council’s collapse. This is easily the best damn X-men book in the Destiny of X, all hail Ewing and his reign on the red planet.

Mutants have found a new homeland. Now they must fight for it. Don’t miss the first two issues of X-MEN RED when they hit stands this April! Her plan worked pretty well for me since the document was phrased as something that she’d been working on over time. Each section was written at a specific time of her looking forward to the next step. So sure, some of it is maybe a little much, but the base of it feels solid to me. Xavier, meanwhile, finally gets his talk with Storm. She reminds him that Arakko is more important than anything else, and Xavier realizes that Storm still resents him after their first meeting. They talk through it, before deviating to discuss the late Master of Magnetism. On a tangent, I've been wondering when Sunspot learned to fly. He was definitely ground-bound as a New Mutant, and very ill with some mutant plague during his Avengers Idea Mechanics time. Clearly he got better. It's been kind of cool in these comics to see Rich and Roberto doing some bonding. There is a long debate about whether or not to resurrect Empress Xandra of the Shi'Ar, and that also starts debate about whether or not mutants should be allowed to continue to resurrect. The short term solution? Magneto and Storm choose to live as those on Arakko, with no chance to resurrect...I don't know what to make of this title so far. My feelings are largely negative because I don't really approve of this "Arrako" nonsense as a whole. It's almost at the point where I'm going to have trouble remembering what happens with each individual issue, because my brain is already pulling away, waiting for something else to happen. The “mutant circuit” here is the Six, who obtained mysterium as a boost to the galactic economy in S.W.O.R.D. #1.
