Hey, did you read House of M?
It was an 8 issue comic series back in 2005 that led to the Decimation of the oodles of random mutants that had cropped up over the years in the Marvel Universe. A population control problem, it cut down all the X-Men to all the ones everyone liked (which… yeah, that’s not true because as long as they appeared in a comic, all mutants are someone’s favorite) and … pretty much took care of the X-Universe exclusively. The more important thing was that it was Bendis’s first shot at the Big Event Book and, almost as an anniversary gift, Bendis gives us it AGAIN after three years.
HOORAH!
This is, of course, a retelling of that fateful mini through the eyes of Spider-Woman Skrull and Hank Pym Skrull (making me really want to go back and read the HoM: Iron Man mini to see if this all really does fit in or Bendis is just name-checking his own books). These two were totally going to go kill the Scarlet Witch, but they didn’t.
And that’s $2.99 and 28 pages, folks! G’NIGHT!
