X of Swords (Summer X-Over)

[JB]

I'm so excited for this! So most issues are X-Men and Excalibur, the other series will have only one issue tie in, and no children of the atom in this event.

Excited as well! And not too far away considering we just got Excalibur #9. Let's go!

When does it starts? In may? Wish they could hurry the release so we all can read the event in quarantine.

Hmm I'm not even sure if they announced the start date but I'm thinking June/July? I've been catching up on DOX during this quarantine for sure, and I smile every time I see a sword.

Here's hoping Hickman does most of the heavy lifting for Excalibur.

Very much agree.

[CGAR]

He seems to have a lot of faith in Tini Howard though. The way she talks about him mentoring her.

I'm just not seeing it in the dialogue or pacing at all.

LET'S GO!!!



X-MEN #12
A lead-in to the biggest X-story of the summer.
32 PGS./Rated "Ya'll Not Ready" …Priceless

I mean, it's going to be a "classic" crossover, yeah? So each issue will be written by the books regular writer.

[Frobisher]

That Summoner dude is like the most Hickman character ever.

Monochromatic skin and hair - check
Typographic sigil tattoo - check

If it's TEN mutants that rise up, which ten?

Obviously Wolverine... the writers aren't allowed to do anything without including him. I guess he's shown prowess with swords before, so why not?

What about the other nine? I would think Nightcrawler would be one of them, since he's one of the most prominent mutants that can wield a sword, and Magik too.

So there's three. The others are probably made up of the characters from the cover, but which ones are most likely?

[houndsofluv]

99.9% certain cable will get one/has one already considering his solo. maybe kwannon? idk if betsy is gonna get a sword and in my mind its gonna be one or the other

I think Betsy and Kwannon for sure. Cable just got a powerful sword so Cable too. Illyana should get involved with both magic and swords involved.

Then either Logan or Gorgon. I guess Rachel could represent X-Factor with the Phoenix Blade, and she also has already had ties to Excalibur so I'd bet on her.

[houndsofluv]

yes Rachel please . its her moment period

[Beetle]

Eyeboy and notAngel are such random choices and their swords are just too intricately designed. They're involved

[houndsofluv]

oh tru! where is the eye boy push coming from lol not mad about a newer character getting some exposure I just wasn't expecting him
I thought the angel guy was definite considering they need to hype up CotA but his book isn't getting a tie in so now idk...maybe im thinking too hard
