    Default Entertainment Weekly names HoX/PoX one of the "Best Comics of the Decade"

    https://ew.com/books/2019/11/21/the-...of-the-decade/

    "Screw recency bias. Jonathan Hickman’s return to superhero comics with these parallel X-Men books took the industry by storm. It’s hard to remember the last time it felt like everyone on social media was feverishly reading the same comic every Wednesday and on pins and needles waiting for the next issue. Beyond their zeitgeist-seizing power, these two books — which chronicled mutantkind’s proactive attempts to insure their survival in a world that was literally trying to extinguish them — also revitalized Marvel’s X-Men line, infusing it with thrilling and powerful ideas (those data pages!) that will surely (or hopefully) generate fantastic stories for years to come. —C.A."

    Pretty impressive to say a comic that came in the last 6 months of the decade was one of the best. I really love the energy HoX has brought to comicdom though.

    Other Marvel Titles listed:
    Hawkeye
    Ms. Marvel
    FF
    Young Avengers

    Seems fairly accurate on the Marvel side for me.
    I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

    Nice. Hickman really revitalized the X-line, and set up a rich premise in Krakoa that has so much potential. Happy to see it recognized.

    Screw recency bias indeed. I’ve already read HoX more times than I’ve read any other comic, and my heart has never soared for a comic the way it did in issue 5 of HoX. This will stand up as one of the great superhero tales.

    I bought the hardcover. Arriving this Saturday too. And it should get here on time because I didn’t buy from Amazon.

    Just ordered the hardcover. Even though I already own the floppies I just had to have it. Love what Hickman has done for the franchise.
