    It had to be something, it is not like they just decide to move to Mars after getting convinced at a property investment seminar.

    Does this mean we get to nickname this one H vs X?

    True.
    For all we know that could just be the catalyst (not the end result/fallout) for what Xavier et al are doing...only time and HiX-Man, will tell.

    I figured it out: mutants are causing global warming.

    I agree. It’s completely silly to write off Hickman’s entire thing off of a solicit. I guess it’s just I can already tell that this “criticism” starts and stops at just yelling about it because they’ll be on board when it starts coming out like the rest of us. Plus, the Powers of X solicits do give away something new that I haven’t heard many people talking about.

    Any speculation? Cerebro finds mutants hidden somewhere (like Mars?) Sinister creates clones of X-Men spliced together?

    I’m thinking Cerebro is going brazy off finding new mutants and whatever is going on in PoX has Sinister going around, collecting them and “doing what Sinister does.” Which probably leads to that cover that he’s on with the cocoons breaking open.

    The X-Men will never, ever have equal rights. A large portion of humans will always hate and fear them, and all of them have Sentinels. This is called Gilligan's Constant.

    Gilligan's Constant is an answer to the age old question, "why didn't the other people on Gilligan's Island simply kill Gilligan, since without him they would have escaped the island."

    The answer is "Because the series wouldn't have a reason to exist."

    Yes it is dumb and tired and told a million times. But without it, there is no reason for the X-Men to exist. A world where mutants and humans co-exist perfectly is a world that no longer needs the X-Men. The comic would end, because the central dramatic premise that the series is built around would go away. It isn't like the Avengers, who can always find a new bad guy after the current crop is exhausted. The X-Men's existence is in the ancient tagline "Protecting a world that hates and fears them".

    True, but the fight can change and evolve, just like any fight for equality IRL, and that what Morrison tried to do.

    I'm not even that big of a fan of the Hickman Avengers run and I'm excited simply because it will be different than the junior high school level writing we've been experiencing for years now.
    Theyve been crying for years over Gambit and all kind of d listers that cant draw 500 copies a month. Hickman writing Sinister is already one of the best solicits of the year.

    But I must say this Human hating Mutants is really annoying and boring now.
    Well whites hating blacks for just breathing and existing is boring and treacherous but that's America.

    Mutants could still be facing extinction even as HOX starts......we don’t know how much time passes from when AoX ends and this starting (a month or two tops).......it’s not like they’re going to decommission the latest Sentinel Generation or scale back what was started at the end Disassembled so quickly.......even with Xavier potentially influencing things, humans could still have psi dampeners in War rooms or the US could have the Squadron on stand by (unless the end of War of the Realms changes that).......change isn’t going to happen instantly.......it took a few months before Steve Rogers took action against Osborn.....
