Sinister in his clone Doug Ramsey body dies, spirituality as well. Still there is a Sinister post Krakoa, you would know if you read future solicts Adult Moira gets upgraded. And Xavier returns to the present, just to kill Rachel Summers. X Force 50 Spoiler Evil Hank dies saving the day. It was kinda rushed in the end.

Ace Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Re: Rise of the House of X #3: Spoiler I assume the reason Charles shoots Rachel is so she becomes the Phoenix, since Jean is indisposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Spoiler They're sticking with timeline 10. That's not to say Moira coulda slightly alter the timeline. I really think Hickman intended to end this all with timeline 11. I think Timeline 4 should be revisted someday and continued on, it's the closest to pre Krakoa era, but Moira married Xavier and other small differences. All one simply has to do is not have Moira die in that timeline then it's back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLSigman Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Question - Last I saw Doug Ramsey was in Immortal #12 or 13, when Krakoa yoinks him away somewhere. Where does his story continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I had to check the Marvel Wikia list of appearances in order, he hasn't been seen since. Sinister was wearing a clone body of Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister was wearing a clone body of Doug. Ugh. I need to yell at my library to get more of the collected titles. That Hellfire Gala ending with Xavier on the beach and "Population: 1" seems like their missing one really big mutant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The Clone Beast https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Henry_McCoy_(Beasts_Clone)_(Earth-616) You can ignore "his" personal history after New Defenders 142. Only those resurrected the proper way are their real selves, soul wise. This retro Beast is basically new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The real Laura Kinney, aka Talon, has her own clone running around, as the female Wolverine. The female Wolverine has an Adamantium skeleton. I prefer the clone. Spoiler The real Laura Kinney recently died. Other non Krakoa weirdness.. Black Widow today is a clone carrying on the previous Black Widow's life. Namorita is a younger, displaced version of herself before her Kymaera transformation. The real older Namorita has been dead since Civil War issue 1, from 2006.

The Natural Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 My LCS of ten years closed today. Gutted. Great having one 15 minutes away from where I live. Will have to look into getting Ultimate Spider-Man delivered or go through to the one which is a lot further. Fuck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 There are 3 or 5 more speciality stores in my province. When they stop putting comics in the regular grocery and drug stores shelves, is when most gave up around here. The 90's post boom did lot of damage, and honestly in the end most things will probably be digital only in the future. In the 2040's maybe.

J.H. Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) I think it also depended on where you grew up detetmining access to comics. Being a kid in NYC meant I had newsstands, grocery stores AND local comic shops. On the Upper East Side alone there were 3 by 1983 (Funny Business, East Side Comics and Action Comics) and that was just Yorkville! James Edited April 2 by J.H.

odessasteps Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 For whatever reason, Delaware has always had an abundance of shops. When I worked in the store in the late 90s, there were 7 just in New Castle county. I know we had subscribers from at least 4 states. Thanks , home of tax free shopping signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 It's that thing where comic shops both saved the industry after the bubble burst, and did so much to limit it. There were spinner racks everywhere when I was a kid. The last one at a non-bookstore around here I was aware of was taken out ~15 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I'm real fortunate in that the Greater Toronto Area has a really robust comic shop selection, with double digits in Toronto proper and nearly every surrounding city/town having at least one local store. But I know a lot of of the local shop owners/managers and standard attrition remains the ongoing concern with things always driving slowly downwards until something spikes interest again.

twiztor Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 my town (~60k) has had the same comic shop the entire time i've lived here (>20 years). It has moved locations and changed ownership a couple of times, but still going strong. When i was a younger lad, this is where i bought "the Death of Superman" and, a couple years later, got a checklist/trading card for "Age of Apocalypse" that blew my mind. I have collected damn near every issue of Nightwing from this very shop (i moved out of town for a couple years, but that time period aligned with when Dick was acting as Batman). The current owner is a super good dude. the previous owner was a friend-of-a-friend and also dated one of my friends back around High School days. There's a longstanding employee who has stuck with the shop through the ownership changes, and he's just the best. He's been collecting since the '60s and has damn near every Marvel comic every published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 It's amazing how many shops in my rotation have had the original owner sell to their long standing manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 They might fix Ben/Chasm. But at a cost. Unlike others, I am fine with heel turns in comics. They can always be undone. The Shroud is the current Moon Knight. The new Punisher and his series were cancelled at issue 4. If something doesn't work out, it will be ended faster like G.O.D.S.

blitzkrieg Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Marvel dropped taglines for three more post-Krakoa series: "The world is broken, and Forge knows how to fix it..." X-Force. "Life, fire, power, possibility! One woman, alone in the cosmos... Jean Grey is..." Phoenix "Five mutants alone in the big city. Welcome back to the real world..." NYX All for July 2024 launches. Looks like more details, which probably will include creative teams, coming later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If I never read another Phoenix story, I'd be pretty happy. The gimmick needs to be put away for a few years given how overexposed it's been in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
