Yeah, Wolvie's issues to get his sword were phenomenal. I was all the way here for it.
Assuming X of swords stasis is about The bad guys getting their swords, then half of this story is set up. Geez. That sucks ass. might get x-men issue for apocalypse, but that is it.
Im not saying i did not enjoy the issues that came out today tho. It was cool. I love silver samurai

I only continue to read X-books because I don't spend any money on it.
Same. Loved it. And I’m really looking forward to Solem sticking around as a new villain. Logan has a decent rogues gallery, but like Batman’s they’ve all been kind of used and recycled over and over again to the point where it’s boring. New threats are always welcome. Especially if they’re well fleshed out and interesting, and thus have staying power. Solem just might.
To be fair. Saturnyne stopped the momentum of the story by initiating the contest. If it wasn't for her. We would have had that army coming through the external gate.
Also I do understand that some may think its not needed. But I like that the backstory and the little details that are often missed are included in the event. Instead of being ancillary.
If they cheat us out of a Soulsword data page...there will be consequences!
You misunderstand. The story isn't just about the battle itself. That would be too simplistic. This is epic storytelling. You don't go to a movie with just the fight scene. The story of getting to that fight scene should be as much as important to the movie as the fight. Otherwise it falls flat. They have other things going on that have to be dealt with outside of this. Leave that to the regular issues.
Yeah, right now the comics are when in Helm's Deep they are arming people and Aragorn and Legolas are arguing and the tension is through the roof before the big battle.
I swear this is gonna end with a exhausted victorious x Men returning to a full out avengers war.. and I'm here for it baby!!
In the first appearance of the horsemen of the apocalypse they seemed so omnipotent. Pretty cool to see them more mutants
Yeah I'd say this Wolverine issue did a pretty good job of humanizing War even just a lil bit.
And I love how Solem is anything but Solemn lmao Logan does pretty well when he has charismatic characters to bounce off of and Percy knows that. Really curious to see more of Solem and Logan.
I'm having a feeling this event will be ten sword quests, ten battles and the three issues in actual X of Swords books with a more general story. It feels to simple and easy. I'm hoping it will be more complex then that.
I enjoyed today issues but they were a little predictable. I like Solem though, so I hope they'll put more Arakki mythology here and there.
edit: also, I know it's visually interesting for them to be just waiting for the others to find their swords but at the same time it feels stupid. They could at least have put some background characters there supporting the champions while the other arrive. It would have made sense to have some teen mutants in owe and anticipation for the circle of champions to be complete.

A picture would last longer darling...
Wolverine's monologue to Krakoa was the highlight of the issue.
Really liked Solem.
I would love Vita to stay for more on Marauders. It was a breath of fresh air.
