now that all the Arakkii as well as Krakoan warriors are in the Starlight Citadel, it’s time to battle…over dinner. woman Saturnyne truly does like chaos. She forces 19 people that she’s about to make fight to the death eat dinner today and…mingle. The funny thing? They do! It’s a truly unforeseen chapter to the madness of X of Swords. even more so, Marauders #14: X of Swords chapter Thirteen has a levity we haven’t seen since Hellions #5. It likewise provided us some character advancement for the Arakkii warriors in a humorous method instead of the extremely dark bits we got in X of Swords: Stasis.
Storm Dances with Death—No, Not Figuratively—She actually Dances with Death

Most covers suggest the style of an issue. So, when the cover for Marauders #14: X of Swords chapter Thirteen came out, showing storm dancing with the very first Horseman of Death, everybody presumed it was a metaphor. After all, “dancing with death” is a traditional cliché. however no, death as well as storm share this lovely dance. She doesn’t fear death at all, as well as in return, death discovers her captivating. He’s clearly falling in like with Ororo (seriously though, who wouldn’t?).

But what this dance accomplishes is much more than just making storm look cool—it makes us like Death. He’s not just Apocalypse’s kid now—and he’s not just the kid who betrayed his father. This glimpse at death makes us want to see him make it through this tournament, however it likewise means that an X-Man has to die if he does. That development? Well, it’s going to be an continuous style during this parley.
Isca the Unbeaten Wins Marauders #14: X of Swords chapter Thirteen—Obviously
If killing people in wonderful competitions doesn’t pan out, Isca would make a excellent mixologist. (Image: Marauders #14, marvel Comics)
As the mutants wait on dinner to start, Gorgon as well as Magik go around assessing the Arakkii warriors for weaknesses. They notice that death favors his left as well as that war is right-handed. as well as even that Redroot has “other eyes” hidden in her shrubbery. however when it comes to Isca, they’ve got nothing. So in Marauders #14: X of Swords chapter Thirteen, they test her. What complies with is rather an embarrassing scene for Gorgon as well as Magik. They decrease their glasses to see exactly how Isca responds—with her left or right hand. She utilizes both. as well as when she tests Magik, she doesn’t expect her to open a portal to catch the glasses as well as return them to her as well as Gorgon. Isca’s response? “This will be fun.” Gorgon’s analysis? “Kill as many as you can as quick as you can. I fear that woman’s sword will break us.”
Marauders #14: X of Swords chapter Thirteen has a great deal of Clues…Probably

You understand those movies where you go back as well as see all the breadcrumbs leading to the huge expose only after you watch it? as well as you go “damn—that red door was there the entire time!” That’s what Marauders #14: X of Swords chapter Thirteen is going to be. The banter included all seems natural, however there are specific word options or comments that feel like they mean more.
For instance, Gorgon’s “that woman’s sword will break us” is poetic, however he particularly mentions her sword as well as breaking. So, perhaps that’s her weakness? Does she requirement her sword? Or when Wolverine accuses Captain Avalon, Brian Braddock, of not providing into Saturnyne. Braddock reminds Wolverine that he’s married—and Wolverine responds by stating that Cypher, Magik, as well as Cable, the youngest warriors, haven’t been. just seems…direct. as well as there are definitely more, however we won’t understand that up until the even finishes, as well as we go back as well as reread it.
Marauders #14: X of Swords chapter Thirteen ends with a WTF Moment
Dude, all six claws seems like overkill. get it? Overkill? (Image: Marauders #14, marvel Comics)
So, most everybody is having a great time at the parley dinner—except for Wolverine. He’s brooding over the circumstance as well as drinking method as well much. However, he tells storm he has a plan, as well as she tells him not to miss. So, obviously, Wolverine is going to kill somebody or try to. perhaps Isca or Summoner? perhaps Solem—he’d definitely want to kill him before having to make great on the favor he owes. however nope—none to them. Instead, Marauders #14: X of Swords chapter Thirteen ends with Wolverine running all six claws right with Saturnyne.
It’s unexpected, however type of makes sense. Saturnyne has some other game going on, and, more than likely, it includes both the Krakoan as well as Arakkii warriors losing. She doesn’t want the Arakkii overrunning her kingdom, however she likewise hates the Krakoans (read all of Tini Howard’s Excalibur to see why). however is taking out the manipulator the very best choice? We’ll have to discover out in the next chapter.
