Last issue we saw the iconic panel…
…That changed Marvel’s mutants forever. Kinda.
In the wake of Scarlet Witch’s utterance, we see Peter wake up with Mary Jane and other signs of normalcy, but not all is as it was before the HoM reality was created.
A bunch of the Academy X mutants lose their powers.
Emma, via Cerebro, learns that only a few hundred mutants remain.
Also, Logan remembers his “whole life.”
It looks like Hawkeye is alive.
Scarlet Witch is living alone in a village somewhere.
And something is heading towards Earth.
In a “day after” special, we see more. Mutant Town is shut down. Bigotry rises with fewer mutants to defend each other, and a new anti-mutant terrorist organization arises called Sapien League. Madrox’s X-Factor team decides to investigate what depowered so many mutants (only a handful of people remember the events in House of M).
Yes, this is all “seeding” of stories for the future, and we’re promised a follow-up event next month: Decimation.
