World War X

[PhoenixThanos]

Has anybody heard of the rumor surrounding Marvels next big event "World War X" or should I say World War M which features all of the mutants on Krakoa taking on the rest of Marvel Earth ?.

Wasn't what we all just sort of assumed was going to happen?

[leokearon]

Yawn another Hero Vs Hero event

[king of hybrids]

I don’t see it happening until either Hickman thinks his story is sufficiently told and/or Marvel wants to cut off 5G at the knees

But I don’t think anyone’s looking forward to another pointless event when everyone whose not a mutant is portrayed as a fascist thug when (some of) the X-Men make yet another play for world domination

I am!

But honestly, I think Hickman has this planned. And I give it two years to take.

So far, this is just a rumor.

But it's a very plausible rumor.

Hickman wrote Avengers before. Now, he's writing X-Men. I can totally see him linking the threads of his Avengers story with what he's developing in X-Men. It could set the stage for an Avengers vs. X-Men 2, although I personally think World War X sounds better. Avengers vs. X-Men has some baggage with it that I think could drag the event down. If this event happens to coincide with announcements of mutants in the MCU, then that'll just be icing on the cake.

A rumor that, IIRC, you started?

You trying to say that isn't how rumors start?

It is a rumor that seems to exist only on this forum.

It will take at least a year to get the rest of the MU up to speed on the new status quo (odds are Aaron’s not touching them until the inevitable Phoenix arc in Avengers) before we can get around to Contemplating the start of active hostility

[Rosebunse]

It's certainly something that many of us assumed would happen, there's no doubt, which makes it prime guessing and rumor territory.

Two thoughts first the avengers would start the fight because the dont treat the xmen right and two the xmen have literally every reality warper except Franklin richards on their side....

Course, the rest of the MU basically ignored Hickmans Avengers run until right before Secret Wars. So in theory we don't need the other books to reflect whats going on in the X books UNLESS or UNTIL a big company wide event comes over the horizen.
