Spoilers: King Arthur and his minions pursue the Knights, while they argue about Gambit’s death and the meaning of his sacrifice. Mad Jim Jaspers is freed and incapacitates the Furies. Jaspers then opens a portal to Mercator. Betsy decides to go alone, but her Knights follow her. King Arthur also crosses the portal to Mercator and ends up in the new realm sinking in black mud. Absolon welcomes him and explains that Mercator is the Siege Perilous itself turned into realm and that the Siege forces one to face oneself. A data page follows with a letter from King Arthur addressing Merlyn ending their alliance and writing about how he loves his son (Don’t worry, it makes no sense). Each Knight of X is also faced with their innermost fears/desires. Rictor desires to die, but sees Apocalypse instead. Meggan sees an aggressive version of Brian. Mordred sees a version of King Arthur. Betsy sees the Captain Britain Corps blaming her for her failures, but realizes she had been in that place before when she crossed the Siege Perilous back in the day.
Meanwhile in the Floating Kingdom, Roma senses that something has awakened within Shogo. Roma and Saturnyne ride on Shogo and head to Mercator. Merlyn, who was randomly nearby spying on them after disappearing last issue (?), decides to pursue both women. Rachel somehow realizes what Roma and Saturnyne are up to and says she won’t let them tie Betsy to them in every timeline. The peasant woman Geraldine approaches Rachel and says she must gather the Knights to save the timeline. A data page follows explaining how Rachel is unique in the multiverse.
Afterwards, Shatterstar is fighting Spiral and Adam the X-Treme when Rachel interrupts his vision and recues him. Rachel proceeds to rescue Bei from a vision in which she kills Doug and Kylun from a vision where he relives the death of his former lover Sat’neen. Meggan and Rictor break free from the illusions by themselves, and the Knights regroup. Rachel flares up a beam of light to guide Betsy back to them. When they reunite, Besty and Rachel kiss passionately with butterflies around them. Absolon Mercator welcomes them and points out to Shogo arriving shortly with Roma and Saturnyne. Merlyn is pursuing them and says it’s time to end the battle.
“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.

What a crap. And no surprise for the kissing..
So... Gambit died for real? And who is this Geraldine? Ginger Spice?
"A data page follows with a letter from King Arthur addressing Merlyn ending their alliance and writing how the loves his son (Don’t worry, it makes no sense)"
"Merlyn, who was randomly nearby spying on them after disappearing last issue (?), decides to pursue both women"
Oh dear... it seems the story is still not bothering to explain how it progressed from one point to the other. That's not a good thing.
Geraldine is that old lady whow as friends with Gambit in previous issues.
lmao Tini's storytelling remain inconsistent.
Liberty, agency, representation wrapped in jointless, careless and pointless toilet paper. Ho ho blip hoorah!
The Hellblazer says oh dear soddy beef curtains with beans on toast. It's a legit critic.
Wow the chemistry here.. literally not once has Betsy been receptive towards Rachel's advances and here they just make out and in love "Let's go retire on a farm with Amazing Baby" 😒 vibes
@randybear barely anything feels accomplished in Howard's work. It's script manifesting for higher powers mandated.
In the beginning was promise for a good run that made me optimistic. Three years in and counting so many characters and concepts misused and mistreated. The Siege Perilous wasn't the equivalent of how it worked. Jamie, Betsy, Remy, Rachel even Absolon we've read so little with him involved they are mismanaged and poorly written.
Yea she has poor execution and.theres never any satisfying payoff with any of her plots so far everything just happens and on to the next boring plot.. also what an embarrassing death for Gambit. Really hoping he's back alive next issue.
This is just awful. Can't believe they're letting her continue to ruin Psylocke/Betsy.
tini howard's pen is the true villain of the krakoan era
