>>8519906Pretty much, I haven't kept up with the exact body count but the opening storyline has Cyclops, Angel, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and others die in a satellite that falls into the sun.
Then it establishes that all the mutants are cloned in pods on the island. There's a handful of mutants involved in cultivating the eggs/pods and Xavier has supposedly almost every mutant's "essence" stored in cerebro. It's like a factory; when cerebro senses the death of a mutant it starts a pod person. Somehow Xavier has stored mutants that had been dead since the 80's and earlier, so literally everyone is back.
This is not only completely stupid but also manages to make death even more meaningless than it had ever been... pretty impressive given the toothless nature of death in comics. Despite this firmly established new paradigm the writers are still trying to tease death as a threat. "Maybe Kitty can't resurrect...oh she can," "maybe Apocalypse can't revive... stay tuned!"
There's even a sort of running gag where one formerly evil mutant (still a but of an ass) constantly dies and has to be brought back. Like South Park's Kenny.
