Knights of X #5 Spoilers

Spoilers: Mr. M explains he had the Siege Perilous pulverized to create the realm of Mercator, but that he needs all ten Knights to remake it. While Shogo approaches the Knights bringing Roma and Saturnyne with him, with Merlyn following their trail, the Knights decide to investigate a mysterious card castle. They deduce Gambit might be there and that the castle represents his heart. While investigating, Arthur emerges from a scrying pool and pulls Mordred with him. The Knights just leave them behind to their fates. Later, they come across a number of Gambit statues representing Remy at different points in his life. Rachel uses her chromoskimming powers to find the real Gambit among the different timelines. A manifestation of Wrongslide emerges, and the Knights think Wrongslide represents Gambit’s fear of being resurrected wrong once he goes through the Resurrection Protocols. Gambit appears as his “Death” person and attacks the Knights. After a brief battle, Betsy frees Gambit with her psychic sword. Sunfire appears and cleanse Gambit with fire just like he did when they were both Horsemen of Apocalypse together. Gambit is confused when he suddenly sees Rogue rushing to his arms. With all ten Knights together, the Siege Perilous opened up as a door from Mercator to Krakoa. Many Krakoan mutants come to help the Knights, squashing Merlyn’s army (Yes. The final battle is reduced to a single splash page). Next page is the mutants celebrating their victory. Arthur and Mordred somehow are on good terms. Brian offers to tutor the young Mordred. Betsy tells Rachel that what they did to Gambit can be done by any other telepath and that death in Otherworld is fixed now (It makes no sense). Betsy returns to the Starlight Citadel to meet Saturnyne, Roma and Merlyn. She proclaims herself a free agent now and declines any allegiance to Saturnyne or Roma. As for Merlyn, she sentences him to death by beheading him. With the Captain Britain Corps by her side, Betsy decides to patrol the multiverse for whatever reason and asks Rachel to join her.

Tini Howard’s brilliant, exciting new direction for Betsy, which she described as “Betsy’s greatest ride yet” is essentially New Exiles Part 2. May God help us all in these trying times.

The Story: Merlyn has finally tipped into full-blown madness: He’s sent his Furies on a campaign across the realm to burn everything in sight, and only those who swear fealty to the mad king will be spared. But there is still hope! A bargain between a powerful new ally and the Knights of X may just secure the Siege Perilous and the future of Avalon. Elsewhere, Saturnyne forges an alliance with a former enemy. But trust is a fickle thing. Will these new allegiances bring triumph or ruin for the mutants of Otherworld?

Can the X-Men survive the experience? Can anyone? Discover how twisted mutantkind becomes when Mister Sinister achieves victory in Sins of Sinister, a new crossover coming to the X-Men..

As we all know, Tini Howard will unfortunately write a new book featuring Captain Britain, which will probably be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, Knights of X became the lowest-selling X-book in July (with the exception of the X-Cellent, which has the benefit of being a niche title). Knights of X #4 barely held onto the Top 80 at #79 in the Sales Ranking. According to Comic Book Revolution: "I have no idea why Marvel Comics thought rolling out the exact same title with the same writer but under a new name would actually trick readers into thinking this was worth reading."
