So this cover basically confirms Rachel is Wolverine's daughter huh? Hear me out, this is just the entire extended Summers/Grey family, so why is Wolverine there? He's Rachel's father obviously. Look at her pose, like her claws are ready to come out. There's a nice symmetry here where Cable and Rachel are "their kids" but only 1 parent is related to each biologically.
Ageed. The colour palette, the pose, the justification it gives to Logan being there. Looks like a confirmation of the theory, and I kinda like it.

Guess Ruby Summers will remain stuck in Layla Miller's future.

Yeah, I was looking at that cover and thinking that the other day. They're going to go ahead with it. I'm cool with it, I guess.

Or Logan as the 4th Summers brother confirmed?

Good issue! I appreciate that it also gives an idea of where the follow-up series are going.

- So do we think Sinister's already been modifying the DNA repositories?
- Nice use of obscure mutants. I don't think anyone was ever expecting to see Goldballs again.
- I love that comic book death is now canon.
- As a cloud engineer, the idea of backing up minds weekly and placing them in redundant storage fills me with glee.
- Did someone forget to resurrect Mystique?

There was a line that struck me in this issues documentation. [NOTE: There has been no experimentation regarding what happens when you combine a mutant MIND with a HUSK that is not their own.]

We about to go Altered Carbon up in here.

Okay, that was good. Hickman has been executing on his ideas really well so far. Making these concepts actually work must be a tough job for a writer.

Yeah, no way this doesn’t happen.

Xavier is so messed up he’s got these butt naked X-Men on stage showing off for everyone to see. Jean has no modesty.

Pretty great swerve, to get everyone assuming that Krakoa had something to do with resurrecting everyone.

And Hickman had always said he was a fan of Goldballs...now we know what he was going on about :)

then why was it in RED ?

Wakanda/Krakoa war here we come!
Who knows of things will escalate to that level, but I think the implication there is that if Wakanda doesn’t need the mutant drugs, then they must have their own solutions for life extension and neural diseases. Very interesting.

LOL yep. Hickman’s a funny guy and I figured GB would get an appearance just for memes sake, but I didn’t expect him to actually find a real use for him. Same for Eva, who I’m also really happy to see.

Did anyone else get the sense that the Five are a polyamorous group? Their relationship is fascinating.
