Uncanny X-Men #7 Spoilers

Spoilers: The X-Men and Good Apex finally reach the Bad Apex, where he reveals his plans to use all the Celestial energies he had stored to rebirth his species. While the X-Men fight with Bad Apex, the Good Apex, wearing Danger as a protective suit, vents all the Celestial energy, dispersing it to every part of Tabula Rasa. Bad Apex knows it will take him millions of years to recollect it, so instead he decides to destroy everything. Storm tells him that if he does that, nothing of his people will remain. Her words get to Bad Apex and he leaves. Good Apex, however, tells Cyclops that unless they do something, every living being in Tabula Rasa will die.

Uncanny X-Men #7 Preview + Kieron Gillen's Interview

Uncanny X-Men #7
Written by: Kieron Gillen
Pencils and Cover by: Greg Land

The Story:
• Tabula Rasa Part 3. The secrets of the evolutionary jungle are revealed, as the X-Men face the Immortal Man, with the help of a brand new ally!

In Stores: February 15, 2012





Newsarama: To stay on the Psylocke subject, you're using her in a much more integral role than you have in the past. Obviously, it's a natural choice given her part in the X-Force story, but what have you liked about exploring that character further — and her interactions with the rest of the team?

Kieron Gillen: Using her actually has a couple of useful, contradictory reasons. For people who read X-Force, they're in the position they know that Psylocke is lying — so you get a sort of dramatic irony response from the book. For the people who don't read X-Force, they basically take position of the X-Men trying to decode the mystery, and Magneto's probing of Psylocke provides particularly natural exposition.

The fact the emotional connection is so strong is something that really attracted to me. Being involved in the destruction of a town is a huge thing, and I wanted to dwell on how that actually impacts her. Since destruction is so common in superhero comics, we can end up skating over what it really means, but I wanted to put her face to face with the family of the people in the town and bring it home.

I also love playing with a character with a secret — and someone with power over her, in the form of Magneto. That's just great drama. Power, responsibility, corruption, ends-justifying-means, etc. These are all stuff that's bubbling under the surface with the book.

Deadpool #50 Spoilers & Art

        

Spoilers from X-Man's Comic Blog: After watching his deformed clone die last issue by a dart that negates Deadpool's healing factor, Deadpool wants to get his hands on that dart, since it would finally give him what he'd always wanted: death. To that end, Deadpool ends up setting several powerful characters out to track down the anti-healing factor serum, for him. Wade tells Daken, Hydra Bob (who Pool sends to tell Kingpin), and Uncanny X-Force about the serum and waits for the results of their investigations. Daken is interested in getting a hold of the serum since he wanted to make sure it couldn't negate HIS healing factor, while Kingpin sees it as an opportunity to keep the mutants in line and expand his territory. Wolverine, believing Kingpin already had the serum (thanks to some crafty lying by Deadpool), wants to find the sniper who shot Evil Deadpool before heading after Kingpin himself. Wolvie manages to figure out that the sniper who shot Evil Deadpool was one of two men, and Deadpool teleports away with that information, hoping to get to the right sniper before anybody else. Meanwhile, Kingpin has sent Typhoid Mary and the Hand after one of the snipers, which ultimately brings Mary and the Hand into direct conflict with X-Force. Daken had managed to get to the other sniper and speaks with the man apparently responsible for the hit on Deadpool: Tombstone. Upon hearing from Daken that Pool was still alive (he thought Pool was the dead Evil Deadpool), Tombstone orders some more serum.

Uncanny X-Men #6 Spoilers

Spoilers: The Immotal Man is unbothered by Psylocke and Magneto’s presence; however he holds a grudge against the native and kills him. Betsy requests assistance, but all the other X-Men are busy. Meanwhile, Cyclops and other humans have been kidnapped by a native savage who wants to learn English by listening to them. Magneto and Psylocke are still struggling with The Immortal Man, when Danger comes to their rescue. Storm arrives as well, which prompts The God to leave. Elsewhere, Magik is taken by some animals. Colossus tells the team he can take care of it by himself. At the same time, Namor and Hope try to make the marine creatures understand that they’re not their enemies. Cyclops and the Savage who had kidnapped him meet the team, where the former explain he had to do it in order to understand their language. The Savage explains that when his people, the Apex, were faced with the risk of extinction due to climate changes, his friend, The Immortal Man, thought the best solution was to break free from Tabula Rasa into the outside world. The Savage, on the other hand, thought better to enter stasis. The Immortal Man was caught in the boundary between worlds, while the Savage entered stasis. He awaked a hundred years later, only to find out his people were decimated. Now that the time-boundary collapsed and The Immortal Man was freed, he will try to restore his people at any cost.

Uncanny X-Force #21 Spoilers

Spoilers: Fantomex is injected with an anti-reality serum, and Betsy comes to his rescue. Brian chases them, but Betsy knocks him out. Meanwhile, The Goat uses the Orb of Metallum to destroy Wolverine. Nightcrawler then uses his teleportation to get the Orb destroyed, freeing Logan. The Goat is upset and tells Kurt he shouldn’t be there, before ordering his army to retreat. At the Starlight Citadel, Betsy looks for the door to Earth-616, when she is attacked by Jamie. Betsy flees once more, carrying Fantomex with her. Brian’s guards tell him The Goat has taken most of Otherworld. Brian is worried about Meggan, who’s guarding the Village of the South Woode. The guard notes that The Goat has three orbs, one which controls metal and earth, one which controls the laws of physics and one which brings life to the dead. Brian and Jamie conclude that their enemy holds the orbs of Necromon. Nightcrawler, Wolverine and the decapitated Deadpool meet Meggan and her army in the woods, meanwhile Betsy and Fantomex head to the Forest of Sorrows. Betsy seeks Krokwel, the Lord of the Forest who once was banished by Merlyn and Sir James Braddock for his use of forbidden magics. Betsy wants him to heal Fantomex in exchange for Krokwel’s freedom. Krokwel assures Betsy that the cost will be steeper than she could possibly expect. Brian finds the orbs of Necromon still in Merlyn’s chamber and doesn’t understand how The Goat could be in possession of their replicas as there are no such things in the Omniverse. Meggan and X-Force find The Goat’s headquarters where he is planning to use somebody who had suffered at Betsy and Fantomex’ hands to deal with both of them.
