Synopsis
Astonishing X-Men # 7 - 12: Danger
Writer - Joss Whedon
Pencils - John Cassaday
The XM fly to take on a giant Godzilla like creature.
While en route, everyone is talking about how Colossus is different. Quieter.
Funny scene where different team members are deep in thought while they fight, and then Wolverine is just thinking “I like Beer.”
The Fantastic 4 show up, and the XM end up pissed that this doesn’t help them to get positive news coverage, unlike the F4.
Wing, the boy who lost his powers, jumps to his death in the danger room.
Someone takes out all the psychics in a surprise attack.
Some hicks wake up a Sentinel, who is now looking for his lord. The sentinel later attacks the school. Scott takes off his visor and blasts the fuck out of it
W says:
“Sometimes Summers, I remember why you’re in charge.”
SWORD, who is working with Breakworkd against mutants, has a mole in the school.
Kitty brings the kids in the danger room where they find Wing’s dead body. Kitty asks Hisako (armor) to help. Emma says it’s the danger room who is attacking the kids. The danger room is an AI, who was programmed to kill the X-Men, but was never allowed to. When Wing killed himself in the danger room, it changed its programming and now that it is allowed to kill, it wants to kill everyone. Starting with the X-Men.
Kitty trying to talk it down. Hisako helping. The XM destroy the command core which only frees it into its final form.
One branch is going after Xavier in Genosha. The main branch is fighting the XM, but it knows how they all fight. They get smart and start fighting in new ways, like Colossus throwing Emma in diamond form. The AI seemingly kills all the XM.
Professor Xavier says “ you have fought all of my X-Men, but you’ve never fought me!”
Danger whispers a secret in Emma’s ear and it gets her to stop fighting. Xavier tricks Danger and electrocutes her. Elixir heals the X-Men.
Great chat between kitty and Peter. She assumes he thinks she came on too strong. He says she doesn’t need to go to Genosha after her father died there. He says she’s not “crowding him” enough.
Dangers tells X that the team doesn’t know who he truly is. The omega sentinel that took out Genosha comes online.
Kitty phases the team to survive the first death ray. Next a swarm is sent out. Emma steps away and someone tells her that she won’t need to keep up the facade for much longer.
One copy is chasing Beast and X. Col throws Kitty inside the Sentinel. Kitty reminds it of Genosha and now that it’s alive, it’s horrified and flies off.
Peter accuses X of knowing she (Danger, the AI danger room) was alive and keeping her trapped. Cyclops says he won’t forgive him, then yells at Emma for saying similar elitist crap
It’s insinuated that Sebastian Shaw is controlling Emma
My Connections and Creators
I'm wondering if Joss Whedon knew that we saw this exact same story with a sentient Cerebro.
