 | Uncanny X-Men #516 (Marvel) "Nation X" Matt Fraction Greg Land Jay Leisten Justin Ponsor Joe Caramagna |
the day i've been waiting for since Magneto took over the school for Xavier (that was a loooooong time ago) has arrived. well, kind of. Magneto waltzes in Utopia with an open hand, and Xavier, ever mistrustful (who wouldn't be), shoots first and ask questions later. good thing Scott has the cojones to shout the Prof down. we've come a long way from San Marco.
Scott has a full armada of X-Men - especially those that matter (resurrecting them would do that ... oh wait, where's Jeannie?). and now Magnus feels like he's 20?? holy Asteroid M! are we sure this isn't Joseph? we could be looking at a sly reboot of "X-Men vs Magneto" once again (i see the t-shirts: "Xavier was Right"). but that would negate this starting point, wouldn't it? hopefully Magneto and Xavier would work together this ti- hey! didn't they work together back in Genosha after M-Day or something? what the hell. and what's with the Mark Antony speech? sarcasm doesn't seem to suit you, Magnus.
putting all the mutants in one place, and with Magneto looking to join the gang, its a whole new ballgame for this title, and its something worth pursuing. not sure about Scott uniting every mutant, as Magneto says, because the Marauders are still out there. actually one of them's in a plane approaching Utopia, with a cargo of Predator Xs in the hold. fun times.
i'll leave you with this conversation they didn't put in the book.
Magnus: "Hey, Logan ... sorry for pulling out your adamantium that one time ..."
Logan: "Fuck off, Erik."
