X of Swords (Summer X-Over)

[FIGHT]

I think Im more of a fan of Events, rather than crossovers.
Easier to not **** up an event. Less Chefs in the Kitchen and more importantly less "filler issues".

That said I do look forward to this. I hope it is as exciting as House of X was.

Ya, I'm not reading Hellions, Cable or X-Factor so not sure what I will do. It's 5 extra issues so not too bad. I'll see how my wallet feels at the time. Otherwise, just read a recap.

Yea, the X franchise wants to spread themselves thin and then launch a cross over event...

Would of been better if this was a crossover of 2 or 3 titles.For cost and quality.

I'm so excited!!!
I never read anything about the Externals before (Liefeld was, is and always will be rubbish) but I'm very interested to have "new" characters written by proper writers to read.
I'm not reading X-Factor, Wolverine and Cable so...that's a total of 5 books/chapters I'll be missing...thank the Goddess for YT and CBR so I won't be missing out.

YAAAYYYYY!!!

It always bugged me that characters like Crule, Senyaka, Bonebreaker, and Tusk got action figures but a bitch couldn't get Vertigo, Frenzy, Siena Blaze or any other female villain most often associated with a team.

I think I had a mini Barbie that I pretended was Vertigo.

(Omg I loved Senyaka's figure). Tusk too as mentioned by Whim.

The sexiest of them all with the only Brazilian Blowout.

Yeah I saw the Externals. Interesting seeing the immortals pop back up.
I remember those action figures haha. The Tusk and Crule ones were some of my favorites as a kid. That and Strong Guy of course.

What is an External? I only know that Apocalypse in the 90s cartoon called himself an External. (or maybe it was Eternal? I forget.)

The foundation of the story came up first in Powers of X #4. Then X-Men #2 had a nugget and Excalibur, for the most part, has been about •-[A]-• trying to reach Arrako (Krakoa's sibling, sorta) which is connected beyond the borders of Otherworld. Powers of X #4, X-Men #2, and the beginning of Excalibur #9 explain why it's important for him to do so.

this, everything else is a mystery

Hope this event knocks it out of the park since it seems like we can't miss any issue and it crosses over into almost every x book.

[LordAllMIghty]

This looks good, I hope I can get them all

What is an External? I only know that Apocalypse in the 90s cartoon called himself an External. (or maybe it was Eternal? I forget.)

Immotal mutants that lived for thousand of years. Most were killed by Selene...with the exception of Apocalypse and maybe Cannonball

Why do I find him attractive?
