Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk

JUSTICE IS SERVED. The mystery surrounding Magneto and Scarlet Witch is resolved. The guilty will be judged, the innocent absolved, the victims avenged...and all shall endure their own trials.

ALL CARDS ON THE TABLE

The Scarlet Witch has been killed -- or has she?

Confusion descended among the X-Men and Avengers, who had arrived on Krakoa to recover their fallen comrade and loved one, when the Scarlet Witch suddenly appeared seemingly alive and well.

Before the X-Men or Avengers could discover the truth behind Wanda's mysterious resurrection, several monsters appeared, manifested from Wanda's conflicting feelings and chaos magic, and attacked Krakoa. The Avengers and X-Men held their ground, but it wasn't until Wanda manifested her past and future selves that they were able to dispel the creatures.

But the questions still remain: What happened to Wanda, and who killed her?

NRC Reviews INFERNO #3 by Jonathan Hickman, Valerio Schiti, R.B. Silva, and Stefano Caselli!

INFERNO #3

Writer: Jonathan Hickman

Inker: Adriano DI Benedetto, Stefano Caselli Valerio Schiti, and R.B. Silva

Colorist: David Curiel

Editor: Jordan D. White

Penciler: Valerio Schiti, R.B. Silva, Stefano Caselli

NIMROD STRIKES!

Krakoa's troubles don't attack one at a time. Jonathan Hickman reunites with his POWERS OF X collaborator R.B. Silva for the penultimate chapter of his X-Swan Song.

Together, Professor X, Magneto and Moira MacTaggert banded together, using Moira's knowledge from past lives that she had lived (thanks to her mutant ability of reincarnation) to build the mutant nation of Krakoa.

To secure the new mutant age, Moira was hidden away, and Professor X and Magneto have hidden her existence from everyone. But now, with the recent resurrection of Destiny and the threat she poses to Krakoa, Moira's existence has been revealed to Emma Frost and the bonds of trust that helped form this mutant society have begun to erode. Meanwhile, the anti-mutant organization known as O.R.C.H.I.S, spearheaded by the A.l. organisms Omega Sentinel and Nimrod, stands more unified than ever ready to exploit any sign of cracks in Krakoa's foundation.

(From "The X-Men Enter 'Destiny of X' with New Titles, Team Shakeups, and More | Marvel")

Rising out of the ashes of INFERNO and emerging out of the vital time-traveling mission in X LIVES OF WOLVERINE/X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE comes The Second Krakoan Age of X-Men: DESTINY OF X! Mutantkind’s future is reshaped once more, as Krakoa’s greatest triumphs and most crushing challenges still lie ahead. As last week’s CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY teasers showed, the possibilities are endless!

This new era will kick off with new titles such as IMMORTAL X-MEN, KNIGHTS OF X, LEGION OF X, and X-MEN RED, a stellar new creative team takeover on MARAUDERS, and revolutionary status quo changes for continuing titles X-MEN, X-FORCE, NEW MUTANTS, and WOLVERINE.

Fans can get their first peek at what’s to come in a new promotional image by Leini Francis Yu and Sunny Gho, an epic group shot starring some of the major players of the franchise’s upcoming sagas!

“The journey of the Krakoan Age is far from over!” Senior Editor Jordan D. White promises. “Our long-term plan that all our creators have been working on in our secret Council Chamber has only just begun to come to fruition. With the filling of the two empty council seats, the Reign of X has ended, and it’s time for mutantkind to reach for their destiny!”

TIME TO FACE THE TRUTH

DOUBLE, DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE! A Wanda divided cannot stand… …but there are many other things she can do. Chaos comes to Krakoa.

The Scarlet Witch has been killed -- or has she?

Confusion had descended among the X-Men and Avengers, who had arrived to recover their fallen comrade and loved one when Scarlet Witch suddenly appeared seemingly alive and well. Except...not well, as she was missing significant portions of her memory. Before the X-Men or Avengers could discover the truth behind Wanda's mysterious resurrection, several monsters appeared off the shore of Krakoa and began attacking the island, forcing the two groups to band together to defend Krakoa's citizens.

Meanwhile, in a mysterious mystic realm, another Wanda is fighting a battle of her own...
