• Cross-Time Capers Part 2
• Lost in time, Jean Grey and her team of X-Men must survive long enough to fix what is wrong with the timestream…which isn’t easy with the teens stranded in the not-too-far future.

• Nothing that Marvel Girl, Cyclops, Jimmy Hudson, Iceman, Bloodstorm or Beast have done has cured the timestream, causing bits and pieces of history to blink out of existence. Luckily, the original Generation X crew is here to help! Or fight? Guess we’ll find out! Guest-starring Chamber, Jubilee, Husk, Monet, and so many others that we can’t fit them into one solicit!


X-Men Gold #17
Marc Guggenheim (W) • Ken Lashley (A/C)

• The Dartayus Odyssey Part 3
• Trapped! The X-Men’s resident fuzzy blue elf Nightcrawler is a prisoner to the Dartayan Empire, and Rachel Grey may never see her new beau ever again!

Oh, God. How I hate Jean Grey and this Phoenix bullsh*t.

Rahsaan said...

Psylocke: And what is this? I swear if I'm dead again...!

Prestige: Wait. I know this place! At least I think I do.

Psylocke: Don't keep us in suspense, darling.

Prestige: It... It could be the White Hot Room.

Psylocke: Which is...?

Prestige: The very core of creation itself. The heart of the Phoenix.

Psylocke: OH, FOR GOODNESS SAKES! Does EVERYTHING have to revolve around that bloody BIRD?!

Prestige: Considering the alternative, do you really want to complain?

Psylocke: I SO want to HIT something? So... What happens NEXT?

Prestige: Haven't a CLUE.

Basically, Rachel = Marvel Editorial and Elizabeth = Us

Luna said...

Speak for yourself. I ADORE Jean Gret and the Phoenix mythos. I hope Psylocke takes part in this event.

Rahsaan said...

Luna,

I have no problem with Grey. I have a problem with Marvel's lack of originality after close to 40 years with this Phoenix Saga and most of its storytelling in general.

Eduardo said...

Return of Jean Grey....better be well done, otherwise seems just tiresome....

Jeferson said...

Amen, little bro! Amen

Jeferson said...

Where's this talk between them? Is it real? Hahahaha

FSaker said...

It's real (although Rachel didn't have the Prestige codename when this talk happened). It's from the UXM tie-in in the House of M event (the Phoenix sent them to the White Hot Room to protect them from the reality changes that Wanda caused - but after they left the Room, they were affected by the changes as well, so it was kinda pointless).

As for Jean returning, I wonder how she'll feel learning that Scott is dead (and replaced by a younger counterpart from an alternate past), Logan is dead (and replaced by an older counterpart from an alternate future), Professor X is dead (unless Betsy's team brings him back in AXM somehow)... oh yes, and HER ENTIRE FAMILY IS DEAD. Poor Jean.

Jeferson,

That conversation was totally real.The Phoenix is all played out. Marvel is all played out.

FSaker,

Thank you for relaying the info above in my absence.
