    So doing a quick search on Amduat, it's the name of an ancient egyptan "book" (in the sense of a collection of writing) which translates into "That Which Is In the Afterworld", also translated as "Text of the Hidden Chamber Which is in the Underworld" and "Book of What is in the Underworld", with the name Duat being the underworld specificaly.

    Which means the name of the sword is basicly "The Black Bone of the Book/Text about which is in the underworld"?

    I wonder if the writers wanted it to translate into "The Black Bone of the underworld" but forgot to notice that the "am" at the beginning implies there being a text/book/story?

    Though why the "bone" part in general? To explain a less metalic appearance?

    In the end i wonder if there is a "Mace of Medjed" out there too?

    And when the Hellions turn up, will it save the day or just be comedic relief?

    Reading a lot of opinions and it really highlights how few comic readers have ever read a tournament arc. Half those arcs are set up to establish why the tournament is happening, who's the big no questions asked bad of the arc and preparation for the tournament. You don't need to know the backstory of every opponent, they just need to look cool and do the fight thing good when it's their round.

    As long as they all get a dedicated fight, and not the comic book usual 2 page orgy of splash pages as an excuse of a fight. I don't give a damn, look cool, fight cool, that's all that really matters.

    So Solem is Bisexual/Pansexual and was lovers with War's Husband who he ended up killing....well that's messy

    His Bio:
    A seducer of all, Solem was imprisoned by War for over a century. His crime was murdering his former lover, War’s husband. But War remains the only being that Solem has not been able to seduce. Solem’s adamantium skin makes him nearly invulnerable to injury, and he has a Muramasa blade of his own. More importantly, Wolverine owes him a favor. And it may soon be time to collect.

    Actually, the article is treating as fact what the book has only stated was a rumor.

    The favor will probably be "Logan gives Solem a way to travel to Earth", since he is supposed to be his arch enemy and such, he cannot be trapped in Amenth.

    Yeah it kinda feels like Solem is supposed to be Daken 2.0 now that Daken isn't being evil anymore.

    I think someone else mentioned this but what is up with Holocaust? Is he crying atomic tears while Apocalypse pines for his first born?

    Right after gorgon
    This leaves Krakoa with only nine swordbearers. But there were ten spaces on Polaris’ casting circle, which implies at least one more swordbearer to come.
    Vague lines like this always imply their is another. Also giving gorgon cards were blank what if he's just holding his swords for 2 other ?

    I dunno if it was mention yet or anything, but are the upcoming fights in this story strictly hand-to-hand swordplay? If not, what's preventing let's say somebody like Storm to just go completely nuts with her power or preventing Apocalypse from growing like 50 feet tall and be done with it?
