    Since Gillen’s run, yeah. Especially during Secret Wars, which was also written by Hickman lol

    Hickman is doing something different in a good way and I want to see how it plays out. He is breaking the dichotomy of one side heroes and one side villains and instead he is creating classes for the characters on Krakoa I would broadly break into four categories.

    1. Those with no morality boundaries and/or see humans as a genetic dead end to eradicate.

    2. Those with limited morality boundaries and some or a lot of hostility towards humanity.

    3. Those also with flexible ethical boundaries and limited or no anger at humanity.

    4. Those with heavy morality boundaries and limited or no anger at humanity

    I am sure you can easily fill in characters into the various categories. We saw the divide play out on the station in HoX #4 between some in groups 3 and 4.

    when he referred to himself as "fabulous" i had to set the book down and take some time for myself. to process. that was maybe the most absurd scene of hoxpox to me so far, not entirely in a bad way. and I think thats saying something.

    In my head he sounds like Tim Curry playing Frank.

    Right?? Hickman definitely has a thing for camp villains/morally grey outsiders and im not mad about it. It just felt a lot less jarring with Emma...i felt more lazy stereotyping with sinister. at least in this moment

    The X-Men would be idiots if they do not already have/will come up with contingency plans for the all of the villains on Krakoa, especially Mystique (one of my faves), Sinister, Apoc and Exodus.

    A thought occurred to me. Has Kitty ever met Sinister? Have they ever actually interacted?

    Or, to put it another way, Sebastian Shaw would murder a kitten if there was profit in it whereas Sinister would murder a kitten just to see what would happen. (It goes without saying that he vivisected it first.)

    wouldn't matter if they did have a contingency. they are already in check mate. there's clearly something off with X. and Emma Frost has been plotting against them all since that Inhumans mess.
