Ultimate X-Men #77 - Marvel


This is exactly what I love about this "Ultimate" universe. It takes everything you know, and makes it look familiar. But, then once you start getting the background stories, you find out that it's completely different. But usually in an obvious and cool way. Cable, in this universe, comes to the X-mansion to abduct Jean. He's actually after Xavier, but he knows that Jean is just as dangerous. But, he's not Scott and Jean's son from the future, he's actually Wolverine. Then Bishop comes back, to help the X-men, and to stop Cable. But is he on the up and up? If I've learned nothing else from these books, it's that nothing is usually ever as it seems. So they go to the Weapon X complex in Finland to get her back, and are met by Cable's Wildpack. Of course it's led by Domino. And she's probably more dangerous here than we've ever seen her. We get hints from Bishop, that Cable has been putting together pieces of the past to form a pattern that shows that Xavier is actually responsible for their future. No specifics yet, but I have a feeling that Cable is actually on the right track. I'm sure we'll learn more in future issues. And we still don't know what's up with all these Goblins that Jean is seeing. But Cable eludes that it's just the beginning. Beginning of what? We don't know yet. Oh, and did I mention that everyone is in love with Jean? Cyclops obviously, Wolverine's infatuation is predictable, and now what everyone else has known for a long time . . . . so is Xavier. The question is, is he so infatuated with her that he would double cross, or endanger his students? I don't know, but I can't wait to find out. I love this book!
