Return to the House of M for Civil War!

When I first received this from Marvel, I thought it smelled like a gimmick.  Civil War and House of M were two big and successful storylines.  What better way to cash in than by combining the two?

After thinking about it, there are a few questions that haven't been answered about House of M.  Questions that now I am really curious about.  Maybe I just assumed that when Wanda changed reality, she simply set things up in their favor.  It looks like it wasn't quite that easy.  Magneto had to do some fighting for their position of power.  Magneto vs Apocalypse?  Very interesting. 

I'm sold now.  Bring it on.
 

When the Scarlett Witch suffered a mental break down and altered the Marvel U, creating a world where Magneto ruled, she forever changed the universe – Welcome to the House of M!  Now, find out the secret history of how the Master of Magnetism came to rule in Civil War: House of M #1!  Rising star writer, Christos Gage (Thunderbolts, House of M: Avengers), joins forces once again with his World War Hulk: X-Men collaborator, artist Andrea Di Vito (Annihilation, Marvel Comics Presents) for the greatest House of M story never told!  As Magneto fights for the liberation of mutants, witness the transformation that makes him leader of all!  There will be Sentinals galore, a very familiar mutant Professor, and an explosive battle with the mutant High Lord… Apocalypse!  Plus, a stunning cover featuring the artwork of Mike Perkins (upcoming The Stand: Captain Trips)!

How did Magneto come to rule all mutants and the world?  Whatever happened to Professor X?  What will be the fate of Apocalypse?  Find out the answers to these questions and more in this not-to-miss limited series, Civil War: House of M #1!

This post relates to: X-Men, Beast, Scarlet Witch

So it's almost over.  I like the Beast.  (Don't really like his cat form as much as his previous).  I'm glad he's been getting some of the spotlight here.  It's funny how he's sort of the only one really concerned with the mutant problem.  All the other X-Men are too busy with their little adventures.  We're only talking about the survival of the species.  Poor Hank had to go all around the world by himself and even had to work with his evil/jerkwad AOA counterpart.  I do wonder if this would have worked better as a mini-series rather than a bunch of back up stories.  I'll admit some of the parts got lost and buried in my stack of reading.  Parts were read out of order.  My fault, I know.  I just think it would've worked better all together.  So let's hope something exciting actually happens.  These preview pics are interesting.  But now we can get ready for the next crossover.  Yippee.

Beast has traveled the world—and peered into the future—to solve the mutant crisis in the red-hot Endangered Species! As each new chapter has appeared in the back of X-Men, Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor, Beast has been unable to reverse the effects of M-Day, the event that left many mutants de-powered and has prevented further mutant births. Science, technology and even a twisted version of himself have failed to provide a solution. Now, on the cusp of compromising his very beliefs to save his race, Beast must turn to the one thing he doesn’t understand: magic.

But could Beast’s solution lie with the one person who caused this crisis? Could his salvation be…the Scarlet Witch? The shocking answer arrives in the final chapters of Endangered Species, as the X-Men’s premier scientific mind must find out if the daughter of Magneto, or even the master of the mystic arts himself—Doctor Strange—can find a way to save the mutant race before their seemingly imminent extinction.

This October, Endangered Species reaches its thrilling conclusion as the future of mutantkind is discovered. But will this discovery set the X-Men on the road to a brighter future or will it damn them to a darker tomorrow? Don’t miss the thrilling concluding chapters in Uncanny X-Men #491, X-Factor #24, New X-Men #43 and X-Men #204!

It’s all leading up to the first major X-Men crossover in ten years—Messiah CompleX!
