No. I guess he means she would be allowed as a human visitor.

That Leah was afraid to write Lorna because of her legacy sounds respectful of her history, but again, it comes down to execution. What she focused on in the original press release was a red flag for me. Comments on things relevant to Lorna herself (e.g. Genosha) would do more to make me think better of X-Factor than vague “her legacy” comments.

Carol's original solo book was written by Claremont. When it was cancelled, she joined the cast of Uncanny X-Men, but wasn't actually on the team. She left when Rogue became an X-Man.

Look at Brian with his super cool costume hanging out with the mutants.

X-Corp remains an urban legend <3

But in X of Swords, that society will be threatened “by powerful forces from the unknown,” according to a Marvel press release, and “ten mutants will rise up to defend their home. Arming themselves with legendary blades, both new and familiar ones from Marvel history, mutantkind will finally meet its mystical destiny.”

Hickman will writing the “tentpoles” of the series alongside Exalibur scribe Tini Howard. Excalibur being both the current X-Men line’s magic-focused book, and the name of a legendary sword.

And yes, X of Swords is pronounced “Ten of Swords.”

The title of the crossover is a clear reference to the Ten of Swords tarot card, and it isn’t the first time Hickman and his collaborators have played with tarot references in the Dawn of X books. Way back in Powers of X #1, Hickman and R.B. Silva produced a tarot card motif for characters and elements of the far future Man-Machine-Mutant War, which characterized Moira X’s 9th life.

Is that Rachel with korvus’ sword?

Yeah.

Cable has got his psimitar sword from his new series.
Brian has got the Sword of Might.
Logan has the Muramasa blade.
Illyana with the Soulsword obvi.
Betsy with her psychic sword and Kwannon with the katana.

The rest looks quite "custom"
