Dark Avengers #7 Spoilers

Utopia • Chapter 3

Spoilers: At the H.A.M.M.E.R. headquarters in Alcatraz, Beast experiences the bad side effects of the Omega Machine. Norman Osborn argues with Dark Beast, because he was promised this machine would cause no harm. Meanwhile, the Dark X-Men battle the mutant rebels gathered by Hellion, and Emma's team easily defeat all of them. Cyclops arrives at Alcatraz and demands to talk to Osborn. Norman tries to persuade Scott in working together with him, but Cyclops tells him to surrender and get the hell out of his city, and that's his final word. As Scott leaves, Osborn promises he's a dead man. Inside the H.A.M.M.E.R. headquarters, the Dark Avengers are getting a little unpatient sitting there doing nothing, while the Dark X-Men get all the action. Cloak teleports all the prisoners and his teammates back to their HQ. Emma wants to be sure no prisoner is being abused or tortured, so she asks to see where the mutants are being kept. In the meantime, Bullseye and Daken provoke each other, resulting in a battle between both teams. Osborn and Dark Beast try to fool Emma, assuring that no harm is being done to the prisoners. Xavier senses Emma and contacts her telepathically. Charles tells her they're lying and that they're killing Beast. Emma aks to see McCoy, to which Norman replies that they don't have him. Emma then checks a cell that seems to be empty, but Xavier telepathically tells her she's looking at him. Turns out she can't see him because Dark Beast has installed image inducers. Emma promises Xavier that everything will work out for the best. At the St. Francis Hospital, Simon Traks entices his people into destroying all the mutants.

No Psylocke, but a good issue. Fraction is getting better with each issue of the crossover. Next chapter: Psylocke in a new costume (and hopefully fighting)!

oooh things are hotting up!!!

It was quite expected that she wouldn't be appearing in it, though; after all, the solicits said this issue would be focused on the beginning of a rivalry between the Dark Avengers and the Dark X-Men.

But as Mirage said, in the next chapter we'll see Psylocke! And in a new costume!! And (apparently, at least) with LINES!! And yes, I agree, hopefully she'll be fighting (and winning)...

I agree very mediocre, the plot was ok but the dialogue seemed really forced and old fashioned as if it was written in the 60's. The Dark Avengers just dont have enough motivation to attack the Dark X-men it came across really childish. Bullseye and Wolverine I can believe but Ms Marvel and Ares or any of the Dark X-men really wouldnt join in.

Ive enjoyed this story so far though and ive started reading Dark Avengers book now too, I think Dark Reign was a really fresh idea, I actually like Osbourne and The Dark Avengers a lot!

These Dark X-men will be gone and forgotten very fast as were that team Cerebro made years ago.

I like how Emma is not evil again, she just wants whats best for mutant-kind, by teaming up with Osborn is the wrong way to do it.
And I hope Betsy faces of against a dark avenger/x-man, they cabt have this crossover without the x-men going against either of those teams....can they!?!?!

"And I hope Betsy faces of against a dark avenger/x-man, they cabt have this crossover without the x-men going against either of those teams....can they!?!?!"

Maybe... With Simon Trask infecting the whole San Francisco with his technorganic virus, it's possible that the three teams will have to join forces to defeat him at some point. (I wonder if the X-Force will be addressed in this saga; after all, the technorganic virus is strongly linked with the X-Force's stories)

Whether they will fight each other AFTER fighting Trask, that's another story...

yeahyeahyeah a team-up would be good XD

Can't wait for Betsy and the X-Girls to show what they are made of against the Dark X-Men.
