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. (Reply to this)

	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... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	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 :) (Reply to this)

	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! (Reply to this)

	And for this issue the part of Scott Summers will be played by Alex Winter, man. (Reply to this)
