It is somewhat disappointing that the Sinister-infected Councilmembers are released so quickly. Colossus’s plight is really the perfect example. If Immortal X-Men is exploring any flaw in the Council, it’s that they are failing mutants in favor of their own desires for power.
Colossus has been screaming his plight in X-Force, but it seems like no one cares. The Council is so distracted by its own internal bickering and external interests that no one notices that Colossus is in danger. Should Storm have recognized sooner that the Council was corrupted? Is it too much to ask that she step in prior to five years of Sinister’s infection? Emma argues yes, and it’s hard to disagree.Īfter all, trusting Colossus is going to come back to bite them all. What felt like an odd plot beat in the early issues of Sins of Sinister has returned as a point of contention. It’s an interesting note for them both, especially since Xavier has spent so much of the Krakoan era shielding himself in hubris and secrets. Xavier has been looking down on Storm for years, and she’s tired of it. In terms of that focus, the conflict between Xavier and Storm initially feels somewhat contrived, but quickly settles into an understandable grievance. Besides, in a character-focused issue, it isn’t too much of a distraction. It’s hard to blame Werneck, as the artist has been stretched pretty thin with this event. At a few points, it feels rushed, as the backgrounds are just filled with an empty white or undetailed grasses. Nothing particularly stands out about the art in Immortal X-Men #11. Colossus, under Mikhail Rasputin’s control, happily agrees. She approaches Colossus and invites him to vote for her by proxy. Yet, before she does, she recognizes that her split attention to Krakoa and Arakko failed both nations. Emma has her own speech to give, as she reminds Storm that they aren’t the Sinister-corrupted Council anymore, but Storm was the one who failed to notice in the first place. Storm is disappointed, but there isn’t long to dwell on it. Xavier isn’t ready, and he dismisses her completely. She takes her last few moments on Krakoa to talk to Xavier about Magneto’s death. With Storm being summoned back to Arakko, she also focuses on her friends. Immortal X-Men #11 isn’t all about power, of course. In exchange for Mother Righteous’ help in capturing Krakoa’s wealth after the fall, Shaw will work to pass a few key laws. Shaw predicts the fall of Krakoa - another little hint at the Fall of X - and the two strike a deal. While Mystique schemes, Mother Righteous approaches Sebastian Shaw. But Mystique is Mystique, so of course she does. Mystique technically isn’t supposed to listen. She’s earned Mystique’s thanks by delivering a copy of Destiny’s recording from Immoral X-Men #3. Mother Righteous, meanwhile, isn’t interested in petty fighting. Hope has rejected her Judas, and she apologizes to Storm after beating Exodus to hell and back. With a burst of lightning, Storm manages to separate them, but they aren’t exactly messiah and follower anymore. Off in the sky, Hope and Exodus have taken their fight public. Storm recognizes a lie, but Immortal X-Men #11 doesn’t give her much space to reflect. They isolate Destiny, who proceeds to offer some recap of Sins of Sinister, while also offering new insight into her powers. Xavier, meanwhile, is finally stunned into complacency and agrees to support Storm. While Exodus is apologetic, Hope won’t hear it.
Hope and Exodus witness their past-future conflict, and the two immediately begin to bicker. Unfortunately, Storm doesn’t exactly trust her, which will likely lead to later tensions. Because the infected are still furious at the dismissal of their votes, Storm elects to show them a video recording of their time in the Sins of Sinister universe.
