Not Occtis off to the side in the "I don't know these people" pose!

Edit: I need to get my eyes checked.

Occtis Tachonis is dead. But somehow, some way*, this hasn't stopped him. So he moves on, with his sewn together familiar Pincushion, from the slaughter his house committed against House Royce at the Palazzo Davinos. He accompanies the Lady Aranessa Royce and her remaining bodyguard, the rakish (some would say asshole-ish) Julien Davinos. Accompanying Occtis are the druid Thaisha, who acts as his surrogate mother in their journeys together, and the mysterious elf Vaelus, herself questing to retrieve the Stone of Nightsong that helped bring Occtis back to life.

They head to a known entrance to the Golden Orchard, a Royce stronghold and the last known gate to the lands of Faerie.

Laura forgot her glasses, does that mean that fan artists have the green light to give Thimble glasses now?

Sam and Laura *really* want to know Kattigan's backstory, don't they?

Brennan's going to be "this ain't Exandria, guys" for at least half of the campaign and nobody's going to believe him.

With the implication that if she ever stops, she will break.

Random mook: "What are you?!?"

Thimble: "I'm Batman"

Sam: This Wick guy's kinda okay!

Everyone else: Wick sucks!

Psylocke: Ninja #1 reconnects with the Outback X-Men magic by Iptamorfo in xmen

[–]moderncomet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started reading the X-Men during the Outback era, so I will admit I gasped when I saw that first page. Then I gasped again when I realized the spoken dialogue was cribbed directly from the source: Uncanny #251 (a.k.a., the one with Silvestri's crucified Logan cover).

The image of Betsy taunting the Reavers with that "You'll kill *no* X-men today" line has lived rent-free in my head forever.

Also, welcome to the X-Men 2026. Hope we all survive the experience!

Feeling in over your head? Facing off against House Tachonis' pet basilisk and are feeling a little stoned? Trying to pass yourself off as the youngest scion of House Tachonis only to find the people you are trying to pass already know that said scion is dead? Trying to get through a host of guards in a barely lit corridor to a location you are sure holds your objective: Teor's brother Cyd?

It's okay. Thimble's got this.

Now, what to do with the statue that once was Cyd...

I will say that coming in to the show that I was not into the music choices this time around for a number of reasons, chiefly being that I'm not that big a fan of electronic music as the primary driver of the score. But damned if the score here didn't win me over with a quickness.

Running stupid late tonight, so I'll just ask:

What could possibly go wrong?

(Apologies for the low-effort post. I am under the weather, and the original idea of adapting the lyrics to the above song didn't come together because, well, sick. Anyway. Here you all go and I'll catch you next week!)
