REVIEW: X-MEN GOLD #25 (THE SWORD IS DRAWN….ONCE MORE)

What You Need to Know:
The X-Men have been incarcerated after a misunderstanding with law enforcement, due to the machinations of Mesmero and Lydia Nance. While behind bars it falls to a reserve team to pull a late rescue of the city after an attack by Ivan Guerrero, AKA the Shredded Man. Led by Iceman and Rogue and including the new recruit Pyro, they in part succeed thanks to Pyro, who manages to earn their trust and his place on the team.

What You’ll Find Out:
After a brief opening shot of Scythian in France repeating his Godzilla impersonation from the attack on Dartayus, a quick location change has the B team facing off against Rhino in Times Square as Armor draws the attention of Magik to what is happening on the news. As Illyana introduces Aleksei to the joys of Limbo we see two of the imprisoned X-Men are also watching the unfolding drama in Paris and Peter and Kurt discuss not only the fact Colossus should be planning a wedding right now, but how all this could even be happening, not to mention the ramifications of this new development. One person noticeably absent from the scene is Ororo, who is currently struggling with the resurfacing of her claustrophobia. In true Storm style though, she digs deep to not only bury the fear but also short out her control collar, as a bolt of lightning heralds her returned powers. In short order she takes out the prison roof, alerting the guards to her change in condition and she simply looks up at the sky, ignoring them as they vainly attempt to make her surrender.

REVIEW: X-MEN GOLD #22 (BROTHERHOOD PART 2)

What You Need to Know:
Without Logan tagging along, the new line-up which now includes a revived Prestige and longtime ally Magma, have fallen whilst going up against the New Brotherhood for the second time. On the lookout for payback for being previously used by Mesmero, Magma went in against the plan and earned the team a resounding thrashing. Only Pryde still stands and is held fast by the new Pyro and Avalanche.

What You’ll Find Out:
Before returning to the action we are treated to a glimpse into the past and a young girl runs and cowers behind the sofa of her fathers Long Island home, who screams after her that he intends to inflict a world of hurt for running away from him. As he grabs her and throws her to the floor we discover two things. Firstly the father is a mutant, his face clearly covered in scales. Secondly, who the child is…a petrified Lydia Nance.

X-Men Gold #22
The X-MEN face their deadliest foes…or do they?

The X-MEN face their deadliest foes…or do they? The new…PRESTIGE? And…the GOLD team faces its most devastating loss.

... X-Men Gold #21 Spoilers ...

That New Name for Rachel Summers/Grey/Prestige Can’t Come Soon Enough (X-Men Gold #21 Spoilers).

Posted by Rich Johnston.

Last year, Bleeding Cool pointed out that upcoming Amazon solicitations were suggesting that Rachel Summers/Rachel Grey (depending which comic book you are reading) was going to get a new superhero name to replace the current “Prestige”.

Which was the terrible name she gained at the beginning of ResurrXion.

Well, the comics have been heading in that direction… with dreams of her former mutant-hunting Hound self…

That was a look from X-Men Gold #6, along with this internal confrontation.

And when in a coma, her Hound facial markings seemed to return…

And in today’s X-Men Gold #21, she’s adopted the costume she dreamt about as well.

So what name will suit her? Here’s next issue’s cover… And from April…

 

Could it be… Hound? Wardog? Spike?

No, that’s taken…. shame, they do rock a similar look.
