Utopia • Chapter 6Spoilers: 7 days ago, Beast confronts Scott and Emma about the secrets both have been keeping. Now at the Utopia island, Osborn orders his Dark Avengers and Dark X-Men to attack the X-Men, and many battles are ensued. Colossus takes on Venom. Nekra, Bling! and Frenzy get their revenge on Moonstone. Psylocke and the X-Club beat Dark Beast. Iceman and the kids ambush the Mimic. X-23, Pixie and Armor fight Daken. Wolverine stabs Weapon Omega. Namor tries to stop the Sentry, but it's useless. Emma reaches Xavier and asks for his help so she can enter the Sentry's mind and lobotomize him. Emma succeeds and holds the Void inside his mind, so the Sentry can be himself again and take control. Horrified by his actions, the Sentry flees to outer space. As soon as Ares arrives, Dani Moonstar returns as a Valkyrie to stop him. Dani easily overcomes Ares and brings him down to his knees. While Osborn is busy fighting with Cyclops, Moonstone tells him there are too many mutants and that the only way to win is by killing them all, which they can't as there are cameras all around. With nothing left to do, Osborn decides to leave the island with his Avengers and X-Men. The X-Men celebrate their victory, as Cyclops gives a press conference telling the world that their island is sacred and no mutant will be harmed there. They're free. Back to the USA, Osborn too gives a press conference celebrating his victory for as long as the mutants remain on that island, no American citzen will have to worry about them anymore. Moments later, mutants from all around the world arrive at Utopia and start building their new home.
Notes: Psylocke only appears in what you all have already seen. Stabbing Dark Beast and one more little panel at the end of the issue. She has no lines too. So there's no need to post scans. But don't worry, there's some good stuff I'll post tomorrow!
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

This Utopia island is looking more interesting each minute. I guess it will be a mutant's only club. Hopefully, Cyclops can pull it off. I see Cyclops' island developing into a humanitarian haven for mutants without the threatening militaristic feel Asteroid M had to it. It could also end up being a midpoint between Xavier and Magneto's visions. I would like Betsy to have a greater role on this new island and in Cyclops' X-Men, especially as they reconstitute themselves as a coherent team.
Come on! If she appears in one more panel in the end of the issue, there's MUCH need to post a scan of it!
...Please?
(gosh, I like Psylocke so much that I'd ask for a scan even if the only part of her we could see in the panel was one of her feet...)
That's it?Just one panel?Oh,for Heaven's sake,hand Psylocke over to Mike Carey,or,at least,Kyle and Yost!
Can't wait to read this - The Utopia thing seems very promising, let's see what the X-Writers can do with it.
On another note, I just discovered your blog, and it's awesome - Already added to GoogleReader!
Too bad Fraction didn't use more of Betsy in this issue... when Emma asked Xavier's help to enter the Sentry's mind, she could have also asked Betsy (and even the Cuckoos) to help too.
Well, Dani getting a major role and kicking Ares's ass is great, though! But what happened to Mystique? I was hoping that the real Xavier would appear in front of her and beat her down...
Anyway, my request to see Betsy's little panel at the end of the issue still stands. And I wonder what's the good stuff LuckyStar announced she'll post later...
LOL! Okeeey. I'll post the scan later here. I was not suprised she didn't get too muich panel time. There were like a billion characters this issue! And Dani Moonstar kicking Ares' ass was my favorite part!
I didn't mention, but what Emma did to Sentry has something to do to what she did to him years ago in New Avengers. I didn't understand it that much since I've never read New Avengers.
Just wait! I think it's super cool!
Really? Yay, thanks!
Regarding Emma and the Sentry, when he first appeared in Marvel's current stories, he still wasn't sure if he was the Sentry, the Void or just Bob. The New Avengers, the Astonishing X-Men, the Inhumans and Fantastic Four (and also some other heroes, like Namor) approached Bob but due to his fear and lack of memories (product of a brainwash conducted by Mastermind), he manifested the Void.
Anyway, if I remember correctly, Emma found a black piece of memory in his mind and unlocked it, making him remember his true origins as a hero (although he still had many memories to remember). I don't know if she did anything else to him that wasn't revealed back then.
Thanks, F. That makes a lot more sense now! Anyway, I have to apologize. I forgot all about the American holidays. They're going to release their comic books tomorrow, not today. So I can only post the cool stuff and the image tomorrow, guys. Sorry! :(
You're welcome! :)
And that's okay, we can wait a day to see the image and the cool stuff. If you are saying it's cool stuff, I'm sure the wait will be worth it!
Good suggestion, Fsaker. Thanks, Luckystar for the upcoming postings!
Thought you might find one of the latest models on my site interesting,

@MightyM - I love it. It is very creative! Nicely done!

Okay, so it's Thursday...
...can we have the scan and the good stuff, please? I'm very curious about what this good stuff is...
@Fsaker - Hi. It will be here soon. Luckystar and CmX will post it soon :) Trust me :) Just a hunch.
Best,
centurion
Relax,chums...There you go for the scan:

Sorry,if the quality is bad.
Thanks Selene! But I was referring to the scan of another page of Exodus; LuckyStar said Psylocke also appears in one panel at the end of the issue, and I read at some comic book forum that the panel in question shows Emma (now stuck in her diamond form) talking to Psylocke and Kavita Rao...
Yup it does, im guessing they are worrying about Emma's new "problem" very similar to Psylocke and The Shadow King.
This issue was great! The fighting was magnificent, especially because I had my doubts after the kinda rushed poor last issue. I hope Necrosha is going to be as awesome as I think it is too, was Danger squashed? i couldnt tell by the art. Awww I dont want her to be Utopia's jailer I want her as a main team member somewhere.
Shame they did the whole Betsy body swap thing just recently it would have been awesome if Selene had brought back Revanche instead. I was thinking who else would be great to bring back as an enemy; Banshee, Skin, Synch... Blink was a great idea.
Well,there isn't much to see here,either,but if you insist...

I didn't really enjoy the issue,it was full of dull,vacant fighting sequences,
Thank you very much, Selene!!
Betsy looks pretty in this panel, but... was it necessary to put a rip in her outfit, Mr. Deodato? Isn't it already revealing enough?
Well, complaint aside, I like the trio in the panel. Kavita and Betsy are now teammates, and I hope she stays in the X-Club (but also getting into action alongside the other X-Men); as for Emma, I'd love to see them not as rivals (this formula is already dated thanks to Kitty and Storm), but more like bitchy friends, who insult each other all the time but who actually like to hang out with each other...
@Fsaker: I LIKE THAT IDEA!!!!!!
