>Wonderful art.
>Cyclops! Perfection. <3
>Cyke, X, Mags... Just 3 guys wearing headgear while deciding mutantkind's future.
>I liked Apocalypse questioning why the machines always rise up against mutants. I wonder, too. Humanity's two offspring fighting it out for dominance/survival? Which is Cain and which is Abel?
>Nimrod! The bad guy we deserve in these strange and uncertain times.
>As cool as all this Kardashev future stuff is, I honestly have no emotional investment. There are no characters in that time period unless you count cute Lil Nimrod. I can get excited about a cool sci-fi concept [and I am] but that's about it. I'm sure it'll tie back into mutants/humans/machines but I'm a bit bored with it right now.
Favourite panels...

Me: how do u pronounce Magneto?
The digital issue needs a link to an X-men wiki. I love the Phalanx and their group-speak, but I haven't seen them in a comic since 1997 and had to do a side-google while reading. This will read really well in tpb but is kind of frustrating to follow week-by-week.
Ugh. Bet he got ab implants.
Has anyone ever pronounced Phalanx right the first try
It feels very much like Powers of X is showing us various parts of Moira's previous lives. Specifically it seems as if Hickman is showing us key pieces that inform Moira's decision making in 616. It would also explain how she's managed to convince so many big players (Xavier, Magneto, Apocalypse) to work together. I definitely don't think the future show in Powers of X is 616. I think it's a "we tried this and it failed so in this next life lets try something different" scenario, as are most of the scenes from Powers of X. But who knows with Hickman.
A lot of these presumptions about when the scene with Magneto on Island M takes place are predicted on it having to be an alternate Moira timeline, not the current one/616. I don't buy that, personally. Further, Magneto is fully armored up in that sequence and knows who Moira is and that she is a renowned mutant researcher - these are things he would know during the UXM 100s-200s, not likely at the very beginning of X-Men history. I still believe that sequence takes place somewhere mid-UXM, pre-200.
Also:
X-Men fans: "Where's the Danger Room?" [or: "Not enough Jean/Emma/Rogue/Remy "]
Brilliant recap, Mr. Cochese!
We also need to remember *possible spoiler if you don’t know*
Phalanx and technarchy can’t assimilate mutants.
