I'm saying, Cable, we have to go back...to the future!

[colonel_green]

The X-related scans of the week, both featuring interplay of the present and the future.

First up, Part 2 of "Second Coming" in Uncanny X-Men #523 by Matt Fraction and Terry Dodson.

Cable and Hope have returned to the present. Cable's all-business, but Hope is distracted (as can be seen in the preview, where she's mesmerized by a huge amount of beauty products in a convenience store) by the paradise of consumer goods that is our era, since she grew up travelling through a series of increasingly desolate futurescapes.




Godamnit, do you know how much that stuff costs?

The next day:




The villains show up, of course, but luckily the X-Men alpha team (Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Angel, Colossus, X-23) does as well.



Next up, four from Wolverine: Weapon X #12, by Jason Aaron and Ron Garney, as Wolverine and New Cap take on the Deathloks.


The Deathloks have been sent back in time to kill a bunch of future important people, Terminator-style, trying to eliminate the anonymous "General" commanding the resistance. New Cap is the prime suspect, so they go after him, catching him at a Russian restaurant in New York (he occasionally is overcome with the need to have some shchi. He dodges their guns, but is blown into a subway station.

Meanwhile, Wolverine has been contacted by Miranda, a waitress who keeps getting psychic flashes of future events (she's a badass commando in the future), and warns Logan about the Deathloks' mission.



Logan joins the fight in progress below. One the Deathloks grabs him:




Well that took an oddly philosophical turn.

This being one of her soldiers in the future. Flashforward. And then flashback:



And indeed they have, in the future. To be continued.

dawwww, look at cable's wrapping :)

he's such a sweet heart :)

so what's the x-men's reaction to Hope?

[colonel_green]

They only show up at the very end, so no real interactions yet.

[protogarrett]

Oh yeah, Cable will die in this event. Have to twist the knife into Hope after that tender little moment.

[shadowpsykie]

why why why would you say that!

[shadowpsykie]

I also have to say, i always kinda liked Hope, but i really have grown to love her just from Second Coming #1 (when she first was staring at the Brush set) because i TOTALLY forgot that yeah, she's still a kid (Bouncy Bouncy!)

[foxhack]

I preemptively apologize to any female readers for this comment.

At first, I thought Nathan had brought her some uh, maxipads, instead of the brush set.

don'tkillme

[pyrotwilight]

I thought it was a bra myself.

But then I said "That'd be silly. Their are no bras in comics".

[shadowpsykie]

Emma would beg to differ :)

i thought it was maxi pads too...

[tacobob]

I can picture the side issue they'll do where it's just Cable shopping at Target..Looking for this stuff. Pushing his little shopping cart around and trying to figure what to get for a girl in her late teens. And then giving up an hour into the trip and getting someone's help.

[protogarrett]

What did she use in the dystopic future anyways? Leaves?

[schala_kid]

That job belongs to Deadpool, I mean he already bought her some diapers in Deadpool andCable #25

Joking aside they probably already went through the whole birds and the bees and girls being different than boys talk, I can't imagine how though.

[cainofdreaming]

Guess Ryker still hasn't quite worked out the bugs in his meatware formatting utilities. Those borgs just keep breaking their programming.

BTW does this have any connection to Deathlok V4?

[colonel_green]

I haven't read it, so I couldn't say.

[darkblade]

Cal-i-forn-ya.

[magnetic_regina]

MTE.

[iondan]

Wait, exactly how old is hope now? An approximate guesstimate works for me too.

[colonel_green]

17-18, I believe.

[iondan]

So she's old enough to go on outings with X-23 now. It's slightly hypocritical of me to say: "Make this and I'll buy it" , but I can't be the only one who wants to see Laura and Hope as "BBF's".

[silverzeo]

Wakowski? I thought that was a made up cop-name. Does it mean, exactly?

[kaileighblue]

God those are awesome art and colors on the Cable and Hope thing. I don't know what's going on but I loled.

[milleniumrex]

I absolutely love the Cable/Hope dynamic.

...Yeah, one of them is dead within the next six months.

[nezchan]

A time travelling cyborg staying in a cheap motel room? Heck, you could do some sort of movie around that or somethin'.

[shadowpsykie]

well its not that cheap if they have a mini bar :)

i can only see half your Icon but is that Robin DeSotos?

[leikomgwtfbbq]

1) The Cable and Hope bit was cute. :D

2) When Wolverine said "Deathloks," I totally misread it as "Deathkloks."

BEST CROSSOVER IDEA EVER, Y/N?

[queenanthai]

...one bed, eh, Nate?
