Did you love Utopia as much as we did? Will that excitement carry over into Chapter Two? What's going to happen to mutants? Has Emma really reverted back to her dark roots (no, I'm not talking about her hair color...).
Do you like Terry Dodson's art? What do you think of the "Dark X-Men"? What is Scott going to think? What is Emma's plan? Is she going to hook up (again) with Namor?

Norman " So pretty much our plan is.....wait... are you wearing white Emma? You are clearly not evil enough for this team"
@danhimself: Maybe he didn't get pissed because eventually someones going to take down osborn, and a story like Emma coordinated working for osborn with scott the whole time and now has the upper hand on norman would be expected, from me anyways, Cyclops is a master tactician I wouldn't underestimate him
Trask, Cameron Hodge & a bunch of other dead foes were resurrected with the transmode virus which Bastion's Purifiers extracted from the remnants of Magus at the bottom of the sea. My only problem with that; Magus died in outer space, not on Earth. i don't know if that's the same Trask as the one who's appeared in the Dark X-Over, since there's been quite a few Trasks recently.
The robot-like part is a result of Trask being a zombified puppet of Bastion, who has merged with the technarch Magus (techno-organic alien). This was seen, as danhimself mentioned, in X-Force's first arc. There are other zombies out there, such as Graydon Creed, William Stryker, and Cameron Hodge. I would like to point out that in X-Force, it is in fact Bolivar Trask, and not Simon, who is resurrected and brought under Bastion's control. I don't know why/when/how Simon was infected. I suspect it is sloppy writing on Fraction's part.
I was happy to see Avalanche..he was always my favorite in the brotherhood.

Pass.

Either way I'm happy.
I liked the book regardless...I don't like what's happening to Hellion though

@pixelized: if you've ever imbibed alcohol before especially in a group of other participants, then you know an otherwise stand-up guy could easily be turned into unrelenting scallywag, three sheets to the wind later
@Tyler Starke: I know the effects of alcohol rather well, it's just Fraction's style to do things like this without much explanation. As Xerox-Kitty pointed out, Adam has been gone for 15 years, and he shows up in a bar with other mutants, chumming around and ready to go bash some heads in, right when Mutant tension is hitting a new high? I'm not buying it.
@pixelized: Let me get this straight, you're not buying it because Adam(who??) is protrayed as wanting to get revenge via skull bashing because he's drunk, I thought this comic was about the X-men and Dark avengers lol, not some mutant/shiar hybrid Fraction pulled out of obscurity to be a simple plot device to get things rolling anyway.
@Tyler Starke: The only thing we were discussing was Adam and his poor characterization, so yes, i'm not buying that. If you want to transition to the story as a whole, then that's an entirely different conversation.
@pixelized: I assumed you meant "BUY" as in purchase not accept as the truth, Did you like the story with the expection of Adam X-treme?

I agree with you Dodson's art....it's better than you know who's but I wish Silvestri could have done the art for this entire arc on both books...that would have been great
I didn't like Scott's reaction to finding out Emma was working for Osborn...it was like 'oh she's working for Osborn now? that's cool".....I wanted to see him get pissed about and talk some sh!t on her
