House of X & Powers of 10 discussion

[loke13]

I have to say, I don't really feel like HOX and POX are distinct enough from each other to really warrant being separate series. Not that it really bothers me, but it just reads like a single series and they could decide between the two titles and just decided to split the difference.

Thats kind of the point isn't it? Two parts of the same whole.

And I'd say they're distinct enough with PoX focusing mainly on the different timeline shenanigans but regardless the point of the two series is to eventually meet in the middle during the course of the event.

What do you think will be the position of Namor and Atlantis towards Krakoa? They could be natural allies.

interesting. land, sea and sky.... in his script for hox1 Hickman really emphasized the “natural” aspect of everything on krakoa, no man-made materials etc. so maybe he wants to go there. Namor’s a mutant so he can go on krakoa and he’s known for his extreme views = perfect ally. There are so many characters who’s takes on krakoa I wanna see. This was entirely mindless rambling

The only reason they're separate series is because it's a nice format for Larraz and Silva.

Yeah, it's an interesting status quo change. For example, what does Doom think about Krakoa?

What is Wakanda position?

What’s the power structure now. Who are the main leaders of the mutant race now

Both Wakanda and Atlantis supported Jean's idea for a mutant nation, so maybe they're not on hostile terms with Krakoa.

BUT you have to consider her approach was waaaaay more tame than what Xavier and Magneto are doing. So it's up in the air.

Doom probably just thinks of Krakoa as a potential enemy.

I recall someone saying that Hickman or JDW or someone else in charge said that this story features 99 mutants but only one hero. I think the X-Men are notably not heroes, and that Moira is the only hero. We'll see the X-Men be heroes again in Dawn of X, or the end of these series.

The only hero will be Cyclops. Mark my words. He is always the hero.

There has been a clear attempt to make sure anyone not reading PoX can get the full story. PoX is technically about something else. The wider implications and bigger picture.

I feel like if I was just reading HoX I’d be lost. What would the Moira reveal have to do with literally anything? Why is cyclops suddenly going after Orchis? If you’re reading only hox the story maybe makes sense but probably seems jolted and rushed, if you’re reading only PoX you probably want to die

[spirit2011]

They said 93 heroes and 92 villains

I there is a lot of characters from the promo that still didn't showed up

POX is clearly the companion to House of X

[gambitxremy]

Could we consider mr. sinister the first Chimera

[JKtheMac]

POX is clearly the companion to House of X

Yes. An unnecessary one if you just want to follow the key characters and know what is going on in with the status quo.

The text piece flowchart explains it all. It might as well have said “if you were not reading the last two PoX issues” at the top of the flowchart.

Magneto, Xavier, Moira and maybe Apocalypse until Dawn of X
