Even if Colossus says that there are contingency plans to bring Hope back, they're not tested, and there is no guarantee that they will work.Ĭould it be that the most important aspect of the new, and incredibly successful, X-Men era is gone forever? It is a bit unlikely, considering that the exposition to the world of the Resurrection Protocols was a huge plot point for the recently-concluded Judgment Day. Sinister managed to do something that not even the most ruthless enemies of the X-Men did and completely crippled Krakoa. In fact, during the war between Eternals and X-Men in Judgment Day, the Eternals' first plan of attack was trying to kill Hope, which was barely avoided by Wolverine. Due to them, characters' deaths have stopped being impressive in the X-Men comics, but Hope is a whole different matter because the whole system is built around her. The loss of Hope is particularly meaningful, because the entire Age of Krakoa, set up during House of X, was built upon the Resurrection Protocols. The events of this issue set up Marvel's new, big mutant event, Sins of Sinister, in which Essex reshapes the timeline in his image.
