! Well that's a hell of a way to start Inferno? How did Raven managed that?
! Nice show off for Ororo as the reagent of Arakko.
! Am I to infer that The Hand's new Hell Bride is Mariko right?
No the Hell Bride isn't Mariko, she's a newish character introduced during X of Swords.
So no word on TVA being canon in Earth-616 as well as Earth-MCU (not digging that number).
To bad X-Factor ends when there's at least one X-book that I would gladly give the axe instead.
By TVA, I'm assuming you're talking about Time Variance Authority? We have seen the TVA in the comics though, not sure they originate but they have been seen on Earth-616.
According to Marvel Database there have been 33 appearances of the Time Variance Authority.[Category:Time Variance Authority (Null-Time Zone)/Appearances | Marvel Database | Fandom
I](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Time_Variance_Authority_(Null-Time_Zone)/Appearances) hear that X-Factor will appear in the Trial of Magneto.
So did someone order them to let them in or did those guys act on their own? Cause someone is probably going on the chopping block for that one
Considering some stood and took selfies with rioters, I'm going with some of them just let them in.
I hope those that took selfies are identified and loose their jobs
I just heard of this at 3:30, when did it start?
Trump continues to be disgusting with that video that he just send out.
YEah that was worse than the "very good people on both sides" comment.
HE didn't condemn the crowd, he gave them fuel to burn their fires higher!
Opps I didn't mean to be gone for a month! I've still read the comics but didn't come her to comment.
Enjoying Strange Academy Katzztar? I'm digging, feels like early Claremont New Mutants, I wish they dig a little bit more on the teachings of magic instead of doing call ups about what reports the students have to do etc, but at this point I don't thing Marvel intend to change a soft magic system for a hard one.
Oh yeah I'm still enjoying Strange Academy. I feel the focus on students during these early issues is important, while we like the magic (seriously we do!) but just like those Clairmont early days of New Mutants, what makes the book is the personal aspect; from the various personalities of the main students to how the subject of the book affects them (with NM it was their mutanthood, with SA it's their relation to magic). The most recent issue and what happens with Doyle & Emily shows why the set up is important and shows there IS an element of magic and its affect to them that's important but its not spelled out (no fun there then) its a mystery that is slowly being manifested, and may take longer to be resolved.
It's been half a week and I'm still furious about retconning Franklin into not being a mutant. Why is Marvel like this??? Hickman's been setting up Franklin being pivotal for over a year, they just did a miniseries about Franklin's role as a mutant AND a member of the FF.
And then Slott comes running in with hs writers block because "powerful characters are lame!" and decides Franklin just wished he was an oppressed minority to get attention and made it come true with his reality altering powers.
This the first time there's real meaty storytelling opportunities for that brat and Marvel's like naw dog, he's just a mopey teen now. And Slott turning his twitter feed into Stalingrad is making things even worse.
In both the online comic comments and on youtube I've voiced two ideas about this.
1- I know now that the first doesn't really apply but I didn't know about Slott's official take when I wished it was just a decoy, an enemy that used Xavier's image to demoralize Franklin, that it's too convenient in timing for Xavier to appear right then. Not only just as Franklin was thinking, but also its during time a enemy was going about destroying the universes Franklin has created and Xavier would be too busy just to be eavesdropping on Franklin's thoughts to "drop the bomb" when Franklin is at his lowest.
2- this one turned out to be correct- the writer is scum who didn't want to play nice with the Dawn/Reign of X events. He wanted his "cosmic powered First Family" to be ALL that and no more mutants in FF titles…despite decades of storytelling of Franklin being a mutant. He could have done what previous writers did and simply didn't write Franklin taking part of mutant events, simple. But NOOO this asshole has to retcon it so Franklin's not a mutant.
I see this not lasting long. Slott is going to be gone at some point, and new writer with retcon this retcon, making Franklin a mutant again. And it's a simple method too... just see #1 above, blame a enemy for deceiving Franklin and was draining his power until its forced into sleeping then masking his x-gene. THAT has already happened thanks to his dad!

! I'm loving this version of Sinister. And for fucks sake Hodge is still alive.
Nothing much to comment on Xfactor this time.
…if Hodge is more machine than flesh, can we really say he is alive?
yehyeah he exists=he's 'alive' .... but my point is he shouldn't be considered a "Real human" anymore but the machines, a post-human maybe
Geez, what’s up with marvel and plants recently??? The krakoa technology, the not costa cubamexzla ancient plants, the golden girls (hordeculture), the plant empyre, is groot also going to the foreground lately with his family/species?
~sing song voice~ It's not over~~
I'm guessing you've not read recent Strange Academy. There's something strange in the bayou outside of New Orleans and they call themselves the Hollow. Not sure where they come from but they set themselves apart from other plant people that's shown up this year as the one plant-people that are interested in magic…but they are the same in regards as they hate human/animal lifeforms
I was going to say " At least Groot and his race are already established in Marvel" ...but then I choked on my words because the Cotati were also previously established and that didn't stop Marvel shitting on them

! Krakoa is male and Arakko is female. Got it.
Hell is the best forge. Once again I'm bothered by a muscle less skeleton being able to move, one in particular that's coated in a extremely dense skeleton I might add.
I'm digging' the info on the kingdoms of the Otherworld, but will it ever be relevant again? What was the price Logan paid to Solem?
I do despite the Wakanda isolationism, as if they are all "high and mighty holier than thou" to the rest of the world. What is political strife in the face of extinction of life in this world?
! Hahaha I guess 40+ years of reading sci-fi and supernatural stories/comics has numbed me to images of a a bare skeleton being able to move despite not having muscles. I didn't even blink at that scene.
I just thought that "he's in Hell, he still has his soul within his body. Hell is a domain for the bodiless since souls go to hell and body (normally) stays on earth. So since he has his soul that's animating his skeleton."
X of Swords
! The swords listed, people traditonally linked to named sword or likely associated with it
1.Muramasa - Wolverine
2.the Sword of Might - Brian Braddock
3.the Starlight Sword - ?? …. likely Betsy due to her connections to Otherworld and Starlight Citadel
4.Grasscutter - Gorgon
5.Godkiller - Gorgon
6.Warlock - Doug (traditionally not a sword but has long history of connection with Doug)
7.Soulsword -Magik
8.The Scarab - ?? .... likely -A- due to his connection to Egypt, using an Egyptian sword and scarabs used in scared icons
9.The Light of Galador - Cable
10-Skybreaker -?? .... likely Storm due to connection to sky/weather
! There is only 8 prophies. One mentions twins, so like is Brian & Betsy Braddock.
Another prophesy mentions a champion fighting two wars. Gorgon uses two swords; Grasscutter & Godkiller.
! While the 10 of Swords tarot card does have 10 silhouettes and one matched Magneto, it should be noted that none of the prophies relate to Magneto.
Nor does Magneto have any connection with the named swords, historical or some sort of element connected to him
! Warning - If not seen images for covers, this is a big spoiler!
! >! Also to be noted that in covers for the events, Magneto is not one of the big players, but those named above are, even Brian.
@The:
I hear that couple's really into fisting.
Through and through
This is gives me heartburn
