this will be the first page post tree resurrection, Logan pissed at the order to go sunbathing.
I've spent my morning periodically refreshing the Marvel app, and it looks like none of today's issues are out yet. What's good, Marvel?
yo seriously
if this drops midday i may really have to book a conference room and sneak away
I was nervous about coming in here too. What gives? They haven't been late once yet with these series.
They're late with everything today. No social media communications about why.
Until I saw Gillen's tweet about this issue I was wondering where this characterization came from. I love it!
alright, who wants to get started on decoding the presumable mountain of intensely important shit in those Sinister Secrets?
I figured a few but most went right over my head.

Yeah I was like... I'm gonna wait and see who figures this shit out.
Who is married and has a kid on the island? Jean? Because one of the items talks about Logan & a married woman, but she seems too young.
and it also talked about the husband who cant object cuz hes doing the same, which sounds a whole damn lot like scott and emmas thing.
Also the brothers jumping out of a plane bit, of which it turned out there were 3, thing sure sounds like the summer's backstory,
have they discovered a secret brother recently or something?
One is Gabriel, who is a space dick
A fourth might be that 90s dude - that seems like someone Hickman would bring back
OK folks, here are the few Sinister's Secrets answers that I think should be correct:
#3: Madeline Pryor
#5: Logan x Jean + Scott x Emma
#7: There are more Summers siblings
#8: Apocalypse (related to the page in Marvel #1000 with the original 4 horsemen)
#9: Quentin x Idie? Jonno x Paige? Jubilee x ???
#5: Logan x Jean + Scott x Emma
#7: There are more Summers siblings
#8: Apocalypse (related to the page in Marvel #1000 with the original 4 horsemen)
#9: Quentin x Idie? Jonno x Paige? Jubilee x ???
God there's a thread on Comic Vine that would be fucking retrospectively hilarious if they actually did the Rachel Howlett thing.
I liked this one even though the direction of Powers is not as clear as House.
Adam X.
Well that X-Men #1 lineup would suddenly make more sense...
It's been a long running fan theory. I jumped on that theory when Rachel returned after Morrison's New X-men ended and Claremont was giving an Uncanny X-men run. Rachel started using her mother's surname and Logan started treating her very differently than he used to.
Hrm. I'm not familiar with the recent Sinister characterization, but from this book - Sinister as Nimrod the Lesser?
He acts kinda the same, and also has The Bath and whatnot.
Good shout!
I'm not the most up to date with X-Men lore but I can't help but feel that image of Doug/Cyhpher brushing past a plant on Krakoa and it displaying techno-organic symbols on it's leaves meant something too. Especially now that he's responsible for communication interface being developed.
I took them to possibly be spores, going with the whole "Krakoa is influencing people" angle.
Xavier bringing Douglas there and ditching him for a month makes me think it takes a while for the effect to fully take hold or something.
It would also explain stuff like Mystique not being fully committed to the cause (she's spending more time away on tasks), or Magneto having the sense that something's amiss after he steps away for a while.

Great issue, especially Sinister. But this felt like one giant setup for intense fuckery to come. And next week is a red issue, which means we gonna get some heavy shit.
Looking over the issues, Nimrod's chest thing that used to be explicitly drawn as a triangle has definitely taken on more of a diamond shape.

Oh, and I'm not sure if this is a colorist error, or what, but look what happens when he gets excited:
Adam-X, aka X-Treme. He was teased as a potential third Summers brother before Vulcan was created to close that plotline. Gambit was a fan theory, because he was stolen as an infant, has energy powers and ties to Sinister.

By the way, back in the 90s they were actually planning to reveal Gambit was a Summers but reversed their decision.
Gambit is more like Corsair than Scott ever was.

They still could, we don't know his biological parents. Could also leave him being created by Sinister open too.
Cypher's hand pose with the plants reminded me of X's pose at the start of HOX #1.
Also I pictured Sinister with Mentok's voice from Harvey Birdman.
