Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: "Utopia" Part 5

Three scans from Dark Avengers #8, by Matt Fraction and Luke Ross.

Cyclops sends X-Force (in their normal costumes, for the most part) into Norman's evil HQ to retrieve all the captured mutants (they had Mindee Cuckoo deliberately get arrested to lead them there).  They are confronted by the Dark X-Men:



Namor KOs Mimic, and Emma asks whether Cloak and Dagger want to go back to being on the wrong side of the law or stay.  Obviously, they choose option 1.  Magik beams everybody to the X-Men's new base...an island raised off of San Francisco bay, which is called "Utopia".




I kind of hope Emma keeps this costume, though based on the covers that's not likely.

Disappointingly, there's no X-23/Daken fight in this issue, but apparently that's going to happen in the finale instead, based on the preview art.

gotta admit, this is pretty cool. It sets up a "mutant state" that's actually controlled by the X-Men this time around.

Neat scene there, though I wonder when writers are going to realize that people don't need camera crews, reporters etc. to broadcast their messages to the world.

Fraction lauds Cyke for using the media against Norman, as if it's some great feat. Aw well.

Wonder what losing two of his useless Cabal will do to Norman...

Fraction of all people, whose writing reflects technogeekery in the extreme, should understand that.

Funny, the MU is full of supertech and yet the concept of media might as well have only 3 networks.

You don't need them, but they add authenticity to your case, and when you return them to the mainland, they cans till represent you as free agents of the media.

heh, i knew, and i think everyone else did too, that there was more to Emma's "defection" than seemed. they went too far our of thier way to show that she has "become one of the family" in that mini.... the mini which name escapes me... anyways, So cloak and dagger joined them? cool, namor too. I like smart scott :)

... what is it with Norman picking disproportionate-to-the-situation Dark Avengers to carry out his misdeeds?

he brings along Moonstone to intimidate Tigra, yet he only comes with Venom to the Fantastic Four.

somehow, it doesn't seem Daken and Bullseye will be enough to take on the superstrong Atlantean and the can-go-hard-as-diamond lady. i mean, hell, at least send noh-varr or mimic along for the ride.

(okay, he'll probably have the rest of the dark x-men go too, but it's still a valid complaint.)

Raising Asteroid M was cool, they fooled me. I thought it was going to be Ship.

I was also disappointed with the lack of a X-23/Daken fight!

I predicted this pretty much early on. There was just no way Fraction was going to have Emma turn on Scott, her loyalty to him's been a staple of her character for some time (and I don't even particularly like the coupling). She's said that she tells him everything because his mind can't hide anything from her. And Scott was too nonchalant about her defection for him not to know what she's doing.

As for Namor, he was never going to be taking orders from someone like Norman. And I wonder if he heard the threats Osborn made to the Richards kids? Namor wouldn't like that either.

Emma's just saying (and doing) what everybody else was thinking about Daken.

But, honestly, a solitary mutant nation? Because that always works out so well..

Well, each of Marvel's big super teams now have a connecting link to Marvel first 3 superstars.
Avengers-Captain America
Fantastic Four-Human Torch
X-men-Namor.

What do these writers want! They just moved the whole crew to San Fran and now they moving to Asteroid M?! My gawd what a waste of time. And what another annoying misuse of characters. This just so annoying. And didn't Magneto try this. Scott is such a hypocrite. I hate him. Why can't Emma, Storm, Psylocke and Rogue take over leadership and get rid of the dick, that is Scott.

But besides all that, "Mutopia" (been there done that again) may become interesting. But I doubt it. I have lost so much hope.

The art is ugly and Fraction writes Daken as dumber Wolverine, while we see him as a clever bastard everywhere else.

Also the pacing felt rushed, all the characters had horrible lines of dialogue and... Screw it. Just hated this.
