It was nice to see the Genoshan genocide brought up and they even gave it an alternate name the Sentinel/Trask/Mummurai genocide. |

I will say after all the issues of House of X and Powers of X I have bought so far that Hickman is a huge fan of morally ambiguous characters. Wolverine, Emma, Magneto, the Cuckoos, Monet... he straight up kicks ass writing such characters. Same in regard to his even darker characters like Apocalypse and the various Sentinels.
His morally pure hero characters or mostly old school hero characters are much more hit and miss. Nightcrawler works great under Hickman's pen as being a kind hearted almost saint is so much a part of his character. Jean? I will let her fans be the judge of that.
I will just say for Lorna from what I have seen to date Hickman's overall impression of Lorna will have a huge influence on how this comes out. If its early 2000s Lorna there are going to be some very happy campers I wager and he could do a lot of good writing her. If we have Hickman's modernized version of 90s Lorna... well that is a very different story.
