HoX/PoX #1 Preview Pages

[Punch Dimension.]

Hey look, more new X-Kids who will be relevant for about a year before being dumped into Limbo.

Then it's a good thing people are here to read about the X-Men and not the latest era of fodder.

Hickman says a lot of things.

He may end up calling it something else but so far signs point to time travel.

Lol it's 3 pages from a 6 issue story. No signs point to anything other than people jumping to conclusions.

Well, we do know the girl is named Rasputin, so unless Colossus has a secret sister, hard to say there's no time travel, or at least showing us a future, even if the characters never travel to the past (but there's too much focus on this woman to not have her in an ongoing afterwards).

[Mutant X]

Hickman said his favorite X-men story is Acts of Vengeance by CC and Lee.

Larraz and Silva both said Joe Madureira is a inspiration for them.

[ChronoRogue]

Maybe M being called Penance isn't an accident.

The Penance/Hollow storyline is about the her sisters combining and posing as their older sister. Considering that these hybrids look like mismatched X-Men characters, maybe there is a connection there.

Also, yay Sage. Happy to see her somewhere.

[Snoop Dogg]

No time travel probably means he's doing another Nu-World thing where an assload of time passes in a closed environment at a rapid pace but still within the present of the normal universe. No time travel, no AU.

Dont read too much into Penance. Technically she first time she appeared in a comic, she was Penance, not Monet. Monet were her two sisters combined. This just says M debuted as Penance is her first issue.

I thought that was the point, the book is about mutants through history (incluiding the future) but It doesn't involve time travel of any kind

[Silver Fang]

I think Tycon's explanation is best.

Penance first appeared in GenX and was revealed to be the real Monet the whole time.

While real M didn't appear until GenX 40, the retcon changed things.

Like said, her first appearance is GenX and not Uncanny 316.

[Fokken]

Perhaps with Monet's most recent plot -- Airbnbing Big Brother Marius and then marrow munching Morlocks etc etc -- she's feeling penitent (whether that feeling is warranted or not is of course debatable)

[MYCMTSC]

Now I wonder if Red Nightcrawler is a fusion of Penance and Kurt...

[Fokken]

Now I wonder if Red Nightcrawler is a fusion of Penance and Kurt...

And if these future folk are Sinister cocktails

[Sam Robards, Comic Fan]

Like Hickman himself, I'm grinning ear to ear. Really interesting preview and a total break from the last few years. THIS is what I've been looking for.

As for the future mutants, I hope it isn't a straight time-travel story (I know Hickman said it wasn't, but people lie sometimes) but rather something else. We'll see, though!

[Woozie]

wait... are they letting Sinister on the island?

[scourge]

Lol it's 3 pages from a 6 issue story. No signs point to anything other than people jumping to conclusions.

3 pages on top of all the other information released so far.

And its almost like people can make reasonable, educated guesses based on past stories and experiences...shocking.
