    Fortunately we won’t have to wait long for continuation. Since new issues are coming weekly for the entire event.

    It's my favorite look for him. Wish they'd get around to making a figure.

    Edit: Although, upon closer inspection, this isn't the exact same suit. Magneto's Marvel Now costume had bare sleeves, a cloth mantle on his cape, and thinner openings on the helmet.

    The one he wears in House of X is a white version of his classic red and purple costume, with the thick studded mantle and the crescent moon thing on his helmet.

    What did Hickman do when he started Avengers? He quintupled the roster between issues 1 and 2?

    In that case, I like this new one better. Sure makes him one hell of a messenger.

    Marauders is a weird idea, and it sounds like the alternate universe will continue through the ongoings with "Kate Pryde" and the "Helllfire Trading Company."

    But the roster is dope, and I like Duggan.

    Holy hell, this House of X issue was unsettling. Seriously, something is not right at all! I really want to see how all this unfolds. Art is beautiful as hell and the scripts really gets one intrigued.

    Ooookay... did I miss something... how the heck do we get from the end of Uncanny X-Men 22 to the beginning of House of X 1? Or is that part of the "plot" where you're supposed to be trying to figure out how we got here?

    I’m sure they’ll fill in the blanks.

    HOUSE OF X #1 Establishes a Global X-MEN Status Quo - SPOILERS
    HoX kicks off with Professor X clad in a Cerebro-like helmet in his new younger body (which once belonged to Fantomex) leading the X-Men planting in seeds in strategic locations around the world – which, overnight, grow into massive plantlike ‘Habitats.’

    As it turns out, these ‘Habitats’ – and the plants that grew them – are extensions of Krakoa, the Living Island. Through the advancement of mutant technology combined with Krakoa’s unique abilities as a living mutant island, Professor X and the X-Men have turned Krakoa into a sovereign nation state for mutants with embassies around the world.

    Also through this combination of technology and mutant power, the X-Men have developed three drugs that could change human life – a pill that extends human life by five years, an adaptable universal antibiotic, and a pill that cures “diseases of the mind, in humans.” In exchange for recognizing the sovereignty of Krakoa, Professor X will give these drugs to mankind, with mutants living in peace on the island.

    Krakoa can also produce other plants with mutant power effects – it can grow full ‘Habitat’ structures in mere hours, produce ‘Gateway’ portals between its locations - and can create one final structure, something called ‘No-Place’ that exists outside Krakoa’s awareness. Additionally, the X-Men have developed their own mutant language – Krakoan – which they are psychically implanted with when they come to the island.

    All of this is revealed through Magneto, who is now Krakoa’s ambassador to the outside world. As he and the Stepford Cuckoos meet with other ambassadors, Magneto makes the X-Men’s position on the outside world clear – their offer is set in stone and will not be negotiated. Magneto tells the other ambassadors, “You have new gods now,” explaining that mutantkind will inherit the Earth – but they’ll leave most of it to humans if they can only live in peace.

    But as usual, there may be a catch – a group called Orchis, comprised of members of S.H.I.E.L.D., S.T.R.I.K.E., H.A.M.M.E.R., Alpha Flight, and other organizations, appears to be building cosmic level Sentinels in an orbital base – preparing to take on mutantkind.


    The new X-Men saga continues in next week’s House of X #1.

    Seems like they are reusing the AvX part of the Phoenix five fixing humanities problems and a larger scale Utopia concept. Fact that it is Xavier doing this is extremely ironic. Really not feeling it from the description, but will remain open minded for now.
