The only thing that I didn't quite accept was how Rachel has perfect memory of everything up until she got killed by Xavier.
It's long been established that resurrected mutants don't have up to date...

It is probably just the way Duggan writes things, but now it kind of seems like Gillen is taking all the good parts.

Duggan has Xavier act out of character randomly, while Gillen gets to show the...

Agreed.
What should be a goose bump inducing moment ("Storm flying through space to save the day") instead just feels like a checklist moment ("Storm appear in event series").

There is a lack of...

Exactly. We get a two page spread of Wolverine killing meaningless goons when:
(1) Seeing mutants win (by killing viciously) after losing has already lost its impact since Duggan as overused it
(2)...

Does that even matter? He is such an irrelevant character that has received no development. I dont think anyone would be clamoring to see more Devos in the future.

Devos should have been a name...

I don't know which was worse writing:
(A) Nimrod not killing Cyclops because it doesn't 'matter.'
(B) X-men jumping into trap formation just so they can press the deus ex machina button to have...

"Heroes don't kill" is a commonly accepted idea in comics (and other media). This happens everywhere, despite the 'accumulating trauma' you are referencing. Peter Parker has as much trauma, if not...

That is no different than any other point in Mutant history, and yet other writers have not relished so much in having the 'heroes' kill the 'villains'.

For example, X-men Second Coming presumably...

In the beginning yes - Hickman showed how political groups would react, how humans would react to Mutants not going to Krakoa, etc. Up until the Mars colonization Hellfire Gala, yes, humans had legit...

Emma's back to wearing impractical outfits again, I see. Seems like any sudden moves and all the support just vanishes.

Wolverine chatting and having fun like its a casual day in the life of...

You're giving them too much credit.

Its not that the X-office gave proper grieving time to the Dead X-men - it actually seemed more like a reaction to the backlash against how their deaths was...

The problem with the likely redemption is now it has some form of telepathic coercion.

Even if the series ends with Moira redeeming herself by ultimately choosing death and sacrifice to help the...

I felt the same way.

I should be intrigued and excited by everything that is going on, and yet it all feels so by-the-numbers. Gillen's writing is definitely of higher quality and planning than...

Counterpoint: X-Force series intrinsically aren't good as an ongoing comic, and instead better suited to being a limited series (less than 8-10 issues). Hence why they can start off pretty...

I agree - there was so much runway for Editorial to have set up Rise/Fall to build up story points and flow smoothly. Immortal wasted time on Colossus and having Doug claim that the QC should...

Maybe he is spread too thin now that he is more in charge and responsible?

I quite enjoyed his Kid Cable series. Regardless of some people's dislike of Kid Cable the character, Duggan at least put...

And it barely makes sense in the story context.

She doesn't trust Nimrod/OS so she frees Cyclops. But her ultimate plan is to just talk to Nimrod like its still her husband. If that was her plan,...

You're right, I was not aware of it being covered in Unlimited.

Exactly that. While the imagery of Sword stations in the sky creating an X-symbol is a neat idea, neither station played a role in the story, until now.
X of Swords used the same idea of teleporting...

I felt like I was reading Mark Miller's Ultimate X-men. I half expected Blob to show up with some cannibalistic dialogue.

I really did not like the Stasis story scenes here, as it felt like Duggan...

I forget, did the X-men deactivate the booby trap in Cyclops?

This conversation between Cyke and Gregor is a little too contrived, as Cyclops didn't escape because all parties involved know that...

Arno Stark always seemed like an Armor design in search of a character. Someone came up with the 'cool' armor design and then tried to retrofit a character to meet that. The problem was that while...

While I am all for ignoring whatever James Gunn says about DC movies until we actually see a trailer/official release (he seems to just never stop talking), when it comes to using pronouns based on a...

It will turn out that Coffee(R) cures mutants of Sinister genetic manipulation, and when poured onto Machines/Robots, is even more effective than Krakoan amber. It will also block any future...

I think the end of Rise of Powers of X, Resurrection of Magneto, and all other Xbooks going forward, will have Polaris show up with coffee in hand, and dismantle Dominons / bring back Magneto to life...
