X of Swords (Summer X-Over)

[Purplevit]

Betsy will die for sure. Then Excalibur team will look for her in next arc.

Cypher may die too so Warlock will get separated from him. But then will return soon somehow.

[Ra-El]

I know next to nothing about Brian Braddock, but if he was one of my favorites I would be really angry right now.

I don't read Excalibur, but for what I've read he is treated like crap on that comic and if anyone is dying in X of Swords is him.

Kinda feel the same.

So next week we have Wolverine, Marauders and X-Force...what character will get the focus do you think?

(apart from the obvious Wolverine and Muramasa blade)

will wolverine steal the focus on his issue AND X-Force?

[numberthirty]

Well...

This should be interesting, if nothing else.

We just have to be careful with the spoiler rules, that's why we tend to discuss individual issues.

But here's the general X of Swords thread which gets active every week or so:
https://community.cbr.com/showthread...-Over)/page100

While I'm not against "Discussion..." threads, the individual issue threads make sense because they wall the "Discussion..." thread off from spoilers that folks might be trying to avoid while they look for news on the crossover.

Well it would be the cherry on top of the dissapointment Sundae that the past two years have been for her, so it makes sense.

they are mutants, cerebro auto updates so they can be ressurected ( I dont belive the ressurection protocols are gone forever probably just a hickup)

Ummmmmm........

I have a theory about the resurrections. What if Saturnyne is messing with them? Im thinking she really wants to raise the stakes with the X-men so they dont casually die. Knowing they may not make it back if they lose the battle, will have them more motivated to win. She's manipulative like that

The solicits and preview art we have kind make it look like each issue from now to stasis will focus on a different sword bearer getting their sword.

Wolverine/X-Force - Wolverine
Marauders - Storm
New Mutants - Cypher and Magic (her training Cypher, maybe?)
X-Men - Apocalypse
Cable - Cable + SWORD subplot
Excalibur - Brian and Betsy
Hellions - ???

Unclear if there’s a home for the remaining two swordbearers somewhere in there. Gorgon in Hellions, maybe? And the mysterious 10th in Stasis?

Maybe Wolverine in his solo book and Gorgon in X-Force?

As for Hellions? No idea. Maybe it will deal with something else other then a sword bearer.

[Lady Midnight]

Psylocke and her blade? There was some promo art featuring Greycrow, but he may have been a place filler.

I still think some of A's descendants such as Blink, Chamber, and Clan Akkaba should appear is only as cannon fodder.

I've been feeling something similar. She would definitely want her "champions" to be at their best.

Something like that will be the explanation when a future writer wants original Santo back for a book. Probably Jamie could already bring Rockslide back if he wanted, what with his reality warping powers, but he just doesn't care because he's a dick.

I hope they don't separate Cypher from Warlock so soon. The merger did wonders to Cypher's characters. GS Storm was a major highlight of that.
