Okies.
It certainly sounds epic but...with very little information at this time my interest remains only marginally piqued.
And while I'm usually very wary of any and all Events especially in these long, multi-extended formats...I'm already happily collecting 5 of the X-books now so...I'll see how this develops.

[Su_Whisterfield]

Thats a good take, maybe there's ten swords for 30 characters because they'll need to combine.

I assumed Cardinal was Kurt+Jean too but isnt Rachel the leader of the Askani religion in the future? She'd work too.

Oh, so she is. And she’s in the cover image also wielding a sword.

Haha, another year, another preview image inviting massive reaches in speculation from fans.

Wow. 15 parts is a lot. I’m in, of course I’m in...but it feels long.
Excited to see Gorgon in action a little more. Hickman writes him brilliantly.

Yeah but it's Hickman. He is been doing well so far with the bigger picture for X-Men unlike what he did with Avengers.

Its pretty standard for an X-over tho. Just usually theres fewer books and it lasts a couple of months while this seems to be less months more books.

betsy + kwannon vs a horde of demons, back to back, vocalize their feeling and start their path towards friends> coming after the event "giant sized vol 2: Betsy + kwannon> world domination

That's all I want now....make it happen Marvel!

man he was pretty much just in he avengers to piss everyone of and continue his f4 stuff, it was really clear he did not care or have much passion about the avengers as he does for the x-men.
also to create new characthers

I trust Hickman, but 15 parts?
Even Second Coming & X-Cutioner's Song were 12 and that was more than enough.

Second Coming was 14 parts.

[Metal Sphere]

Second Coming was 14 parts.

Second Coming was about something far more important than what appears to be a bunch of sword users... against what's probably the demons coming from Arrako.

[Beetle]

The Iron Man 2020 storyline is like 18 parts

This thread is about X of Swords, at least the comparison to Second Coming made sense. I'd like to see Hickman's rationale as to why these powerful mutants need a sword, and I hope to god it's not a Fear Itself-style reason.
