House of X - 01 Or How the mutants got their groove back *spoilers*

Speaking of Magneto.

When the ambassador said "Do you know what you sound like?" and he answered "I do! And it feels good to finally say it".

At first I thought about Hitler. But Magneto would never admit it.

So it must be Malcom X?

I was thinking Hitler myself. LOL.
But your idea is better.

I’m blown away. This is more than five stars.

Hey now. Give them time.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

They had to go enslave a bunch of people first.

It's not a one for one, but they've definitely moved closer to Attilan.

Huh and HoX will be completed in six months. And on the seventh day, Mutantkind SHall Rise!

"You have new gods now."

I really enjoyed this both from a story and art perspective. I think I would have rather seen the X-Men create their Krakoan empire instead of seeing it ready made, though. The only thing making this 4/5 is that I know it'll all fall apart, and that tinged my reading. The X-Men can never have nice things.

Maybe not. The thing about changing the status quo is that you change the status quo. Hickman seems to be trying to get the X-Men out of the rut they've been stuck in since like the 80's.

Although marvel might hit the old reset button again I'm hoping that they don't. At least not for another 10+ years.

Can't be a coincidence that Franklin is the only one listed with humans. I think there will be more to the Richards later since I can't X imagine is happy that there is an Omega (arguably the most powerful one) 'aligned' with the humans.

Get ready for the showdown between Legion and Franklin Richards!!!! The battle of the prodigal sons.

He abandoned her to foster parents we’ve never seen (and never will) after the plane crash and let her grow up without him, soooooooo

Real talk though, I headcanon that Magneto did that out of love, believing she would be in danger or be corrupted by his attitude if she grew up with him.

Oh, I think she'd most certainly be the actual "The Mistress of Magnetism" had she been under crazed Magneto's influence as a child.

Xavier wouldn't be able to handle Magneta AND Magneto. Lol

Plus side? No Havok and that's always good...

What underclass will be lifting them up?

I'm kidding.

I know it'll be the Alanteans again.

Even Luna turned out better than Lorna.

At least she has her degree.

I dont think she ever finshed. Malice took over and Malice wasnt wasting time in school

Yep Onslaught 2.0 when Xavier absorbs him into Krakoa

After a third read-through, I think I've identified what's bothering me about this. It's the lettering.

Its not bad by any measure, its just strange to see capital and lowercase lettering again. I'm sure it pops up more than I notice, but I can't remember an X-book in the last 3 years that had this. I seem to remember a lot of things around 2000-2003 looked like this.

Pssh School is overrated.

[Ptrvc]

In all seriousness I'm glad you X-Fans got, what is s by most accounts, a good book. I hope it lasts through the run.

Even if I'm expecting an "It's a cookbook!" moment.

It's obvious from the solicits that their nation still stands at the end of HoX/PoX regardless if they end up defeating X or whatever is going on. It does sound like they are at odds with various human governments.
X-Men - defense force/armed forces for the Krakoan Nation
X-Force - secret service for the Krakoan Nation
Marauders - Trade and Shipping for the Krakoan Nation - labelled as pirates by some human governments that are probably trying to embargo the Krakoan Nation.
New Mutants - space exploration force for the Krakoan Nation - also probably a kind of ambassadorial team to maintain good relations (or bad) with some Alien nations that the X-Men want as allies.
Excalibur - mutant alliance with Otherworld magic to help mutants learn more about their own link to the magical forces.
Fallen Angels - I think this is the group that doesn't feel at home on the Krakoan Nation and go their own way.

I wonder if those flowers can enslave humans if ingested.
