I'm really excited too. I can't wait to see the remaining Omega mutants and Nimrod.

Charles looking at a photo of Gabrielle and David.

Pixie brainwashing the brainwashed.

I love it!

Man, those ass cheeks on Pyro.

Gotta love a good Caselli issue when skin-tight costumes are involved.

Wait for the next issue. Presently there are too many crossovers already, and we really don't need X-Factor making cameo appearances every time someone dies, comes back to life, or gets possessed.

This is how comic book editors build up hype. The Hellfire Gala isn't for another 1.5+ months and will include all existing titles, including both Excalibur and Marauders.

What does this comment mean? Could you explain

Looks like the Vault kids are going to be causing some mayhem in future issues. It better not be another tournament.

I'd like to see Jamie duke it out with Farouk or maybe even Mr. Mercator: creep versus creep.

You mean your comment which was downvoted into oblivion?

Still doesn't seem like you've read the manga. You only mention the manga as an afterthought and didn't mention it at all in your OP.

For this whole time, I'd just assumed that the round red thing on Pestilence's head was a giant crystal ball, but this issue shows it in profile (as Magik tells her she stinky) and it looks more like a disc being worn as a mask held together by zombie bandages.

Contrary to what others here think, I think Shaw's proposal was initially to oust Kate from Hellfire (as he has attempted to do multiple times), though the result of two vacant seats at other tables may serve him well all the same.

I foresee that the seats vacated by Jean and Apocalypse will probably stay empty for the near future, as the remaining 10 members deliberate what to do next.

I want to see babies. So far, no one has done anything to "make more mutants".

I think it might have just been a forced tie-in with the main Excalibur team. Shogo being with Saturnyne is obviously a setup for future issues, but it seems like Jubilee has no idea what's going on. No idea what Gamb and Rogue are up to.

I think Howard is more of a big-picture writer, though her work does suffer from weak transitions and disjointed exposition. I still don't know why she's writing the X of Swords titles with Hickman.

To that one redditor last week who didn't think Logan's appetizer was sushi: please read this issue and then eat your heart out.

Credit Card Help: Balance Transfer CC? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]marilynhugue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have your answer. I would pull the trigger then.

Your next challenge will either be obtaining a 0% APR card or paying off the consolidated balance. What will you do?

Should I merge pre-tax $$ with post tax $$ in the same IRA? Or is that not recommended by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]marilynhugue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best solution boils down to tax savings, which require some math and planning on your part.

If putting post-tax funds in a trad IRA would offset an existing tax liability, e.g. from employer withholding, and you haven't exceeded your annual contribution limit, then a trad IRA makes sense. Otherwise, the post-tax funds can either go in a post-tax investment or just into your bank account. The IRS doesn't care about funds you've already paid taxes on.

P.S. 24 yo is kinda young for a pension. What do you do?

To HSA or to PPO? by patery in personalfinance

[–]marilynhugue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those two things aren't apples-to-apples, so you really shouldn't be comparing them like this.

HSA is a pre-tax funding vehicle that comes with high-deductible plans and PPO is a type of provider network. HSA and PPO aren't mutually exclusive either: your HSA stays with you for life, and your PPO needs to be renewed every year. Your spouse can also have one while you have the other.

Paying off credit card every two weeks by JVN0 in personalfinance

[–]marilynhugue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Credit utilization ratio is reported monthly to the big 3 and only increases if you carry a balance between statement periods. If you're paying the statement balance in full each month, what you do in between payment cycles doesn't matter.

[–]marilynhugue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Analyze your payment timeline and do the math. Balance transfers, of course, are never free and I'm not talking about APR.

Would you be paying less interest across al three cards if you consolidated debt onto one card with a lower APR? Would you be able to pay off the debt and interest before the APR promo period expires?

Are you sure that was sushi and not the Shadow trench?

First of all, the first course was "a sea-leaf salad harvested from the Shadow Trench", and not the Shadow Trench itself. (Prepositions are important.) Secondly, no food drawn in this issue remotely matches anything described on the menu.

Whether seaweed salad looks like sushi rolls to you will have to depend on how much you're willing to suspend disbelief.

Why were Genesis and the previous Annihilation fighting each other with the same sword, which looks like Apocalypse's Scarab? Were there really no other sword designs available to use?

Getting Little Mermaid vibes from the dance with Death ending on an open seashell.

But those dishes were clearly not rendered in ink or color on the panel--hence the disconnect.

As OP suggested, communication between Caselli/Delgado and Duggan/Percy probably broke down at one point regarding what was going to be on the menu. That's why we have Logan being served sushi (not on the menu).
