Did Larroca forget that Emma shaved her head on the left side?
And what happened with the art in the middle? It's a shame the last issue had to be split betw two artists.
I liked this issue, and fortunately, I'd read Age of X-Man Omega first...
I will probably have to go back and read the whole run again, to really digest what happened, but why do the whole "Nobody will recognize we're mutants" only to reverse it a few issues later. I don't get that.
Looking forward to what's next!
While they needed something to make humans hate mutants even more, my guess this specific thing was about making Emma look bad so Scott could run over to Jean.
But I'm sure he'll have two in Hickman's run; there's people that died here that will be alive there, so what's an eye?
What an ending. Biggest X-Men story in a long time.
And I am not going to lie, whether or not I pick up HiXMen or anything Dawn of X all depends on whether or not that kiss goes somewhere.
I hate the inconsistency of that damn button that Callahan and his lackeys push to take away mutant powers. So does it kill mutants or not? It clearly killed Triage but Rosenberg ran on Twitter to say it didn’t. It turned Vanisher to goop. Callahan said it would kill Emma, but it didn’t KILL kill Illyana.
They didn’t do a damn thing, so dumb. And what did they do to you, #$&@ing Hope did that to you.

This run starting interesting, but the rest was just dissapointing, that Jott kiss is like the only thing about worth remembering and it basically gives the middle finger to Logan and Emma, considering what happened in Phoenix Resurrection and X-Men Red thid was hardly a surprise.

- Hey Rosenberg, X-men have to much characters, we need to clean the house for Hickman.
- Ok, let me kill a lot of them.
- You got the job.
...Rosenberg said after the finale, the reason behind everything that happened across the run, like the deaths, would be more clear... I don't see this at all on this issue? lool.
I keep forgetting this isn’t a spoiler thread. But I mean, does it matter at this point? Anyway, we know from Dani that everyone who’s died is gonna return but how? I can only imagine that Multiple Man, Astonishing, Dead Souls and other minis were sort of “window dressing”/“faux” character returns and those characters’ real reintroductions will be a part of some massive moment in Hickman’s HOX. That way, we aren’t stuck with “bartender” Jamie or undead Banshee or M-Pox-infected Sunspot (Rosenberg ignored it but still).
So Callahan was just speaking out of his ass and wasn’t even sure if it would kill her or not.

It goes back to issue #11. When Cyclops is searching for the X-Men and Blindfold tells him "they" are dead, it was not the X-Men (who Ben Urich confirms in the next scene) that she was referring to, it was the mutants that Cyclops would lead in this "last X-Men story." He has Scott point this out in this issue.
Unless you were looking for some reversal of the deaths, or some meaning for it other than part of the ongoing mutant struggle against hatred.
