reprints: 2010 year in comic books, pt. I

The following are the year's top ten OMFG moments in the X-Verse:

X-MEN: STORM & GAMBIT #01

Curse Of The Mutants

"Point taken. You were completely useless in that fight. Except for giving me these unfortunate tan lines.".

Due to the medallions, Dazzler's light bursts didn't work on the vampires. To save her, Northstar super-speed-staked the lot before Emma Frost could read their minds. The latter dismisses their mission to find intel on the alleged "Vampire Island" a failure but not without making a snide comment about her tan.



X-MEN: SECOND COMING #01
Second Coming

"Everything we've been through, every death we've suffered, every tragedy we've endured these last months... it's all for this moment. For her. This is what we signed up for, X-Men. This is what we die for. Hope."

After being alerted by the Cuckoos of Cable's arrival in the present timeline, Cyclops rallies his men and sends them to their respective posts. His alpha roster which consists of Wolverine, Colossus, Psylocke, Angel, Nightcrawler, X-23 with the inclusion of Magik is ordered to look for Cable and Hope. They are to bring them back home safe and sound.


UNCANNY X-FORCE #02
The Apocalypse Solution

"Now don't just stand there awestruck by your terrific luck in women. Let's go kill this son of a bitch."

Psylocke and Angel had a tender moment before they leave for the moon, find Apocalypse and eliminate him. She told him that she joined the team to help him control the deadly Archangel. More than that, Psylocke said that after losing Nightcrawler, after everything she has gone through, she just want to hold on to something real and that was her love for Angel. Then, they kissed.



NEW MUTANTS #12
Second Coming

"Foreign Control/Mind detected. Acquiring source. Prepare to neutralize."

Deployed by Cyclops to shut down a weapons-manufacturing facility managed by Cameron Hodge, the New Mutants engages the Right in a battle. Midway, Hodge initiates a cranial transplant to a robotic monstrosity. Quickly, Cannonball orders Karma to control Hodge. The plan backfires as the enemy resists her possession. Hodge traces her whereabouts and attacks her. In the end, Karma was left incapacitated.


NEW MUTANTS #18
Fall Of The New Mutants

"Your emotions are pungent. Is that anger I smell? No... You don't have powers, do you. That's not anger... It's fear."

The New Mutants is caught by surprise as they face the long-forgotten Inferno babies. Magik is the first to be subdued. Soon after, the rest of the team fell into the clutches of the renegade group.
