X-Men 187 Wrapekill

What we learn in this issue besides wraping and killing and wrhyming and stealing.

THE X-OVER WITH ROM THE STERLING SPACEBOT CONTINUES, EVEN THOUGH ROM DOESN’T ACTUALLY SHOW UP EVER.

THE DISGUSTING MYSTICAL “YUCKOS” THE DIRE WRAITHS SHOW UP THOUGH. THOSE DIRTY FUCKERS ARE E’ERWHERE.

LUCKILY, DEPOWERED STORM CAN STILL FEND FOR HERSELF WITH HER EXPERT GUN SKILLS, WHICH WOLVERINE SEXILY TAUGHT HER.

NAZE IS FORGE MENTOR AND A MAGICAL NATIVE AMERICAN (IS THERE ANY OTHER KIND?) WHO ALSO WANTS TO GET UP IN STORM’S GUTS.

STORM’S MIND IS UNDER MAGICAL ASSUALT. LETS LISTEN TO CLAREMONT DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE: “WITHOUT WARNING, ORORO’S MIND IS CRUSHED UNDER AN AVALANCHE OF THOUGHTS NOT HER OWN. SHE IS NO LONGER ORORO - OR EVEN AN INDIVIDUAL - BUT AN AMALGAM OF HERSELF, FORGE, NAZE, WRAITH... AND ONE OTHER IS NEITHER HUMAN NOR ALIEN, BOTH ALIVE AND DEAD, POSSESSING THE DIVINITY OF A GOD AND THE CRUEL HUMOR OF THE DEVIL.”

HOLY SHIT THAT OTHER PERSON SOUNDS PRETTY TERRIFYING. I HOPE THE X-BAGS ARE READY FOR THAT FIGHT, WHICH WILL HAPPEN IN LIKE 50 ISSUES AND 4 REAL LIFE YEARS FROM NOW. FUCKING CLAREMONT YOU COCKTEASE.

ROM’S FEMALE ROWBIT FRIEND IS CALLED STARSHINE. UGH.

THEN THE X-MEN WIN BUT THEN THEY DON’T. SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE TOTALLY FUCKED NOW!

ACTUALLY THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF JOHNNY RYANS EXCELLENT BUT TOTALLY FUCKED UP “PRISON PIT”.

Kind of cool that this issue’s splash panel is the same action as the last panel of last issue. Action picks up with Storm walking about of 355 Eagle Plaza in the middle of a rainstorm, WHICH SHE CAN NO LONGER CONTROL. Which makes for Delicious irony and rad wet t-shirt possibilities.

Rogue and Colossus show up, I forget how they know to do that but there they are. Mostly a bunch off action in this issue, plus some future mystical shit with Forge and his soon to be dead mentor (SPOILER ALERT) Naze that doesn’t get totally resolved until the Fall of the Mutants storyline many issues later. Also these pictures took to long so I’m just going to stop now. More magic is the gathering next issue though. Better tap that inner manna X-Wads!
