    Default DOX: 8 months, 72 issues, 26 by Hickman - Let's Check In!!!

    Originally I was planning on doing this at issue 100, but seeing how everything has been put on hold and we don't know when new comics are coming back, I figured we should take stock of everything that has come out so far. As the title states, Dawn of X started 8 months and 1 day ago. In that time we've had 72 issues, 26 of those penned by our boy Hickman.

    Whether you have enjoyed this era or not, one thing is certain. DOX has been different and unique enough to really get people talking/debating/arguing. And for that I am grateful. I'd rather this era fail trying something different, then just be yet another nostalgia trip like Gold was.

    Thankfully for me, DOX has been a blast. Looking at my spreadsheet I can see that out of the 72 issues released so far, I've rated:

    35 of them between 8-10
    19 of them between 5-7

    (for me, anything 5 and above is worth my money and time)

    18 of them between 1-4, or I did not buy, whether because money was tight, or did not seem interesting.

    That means in the last 8 months I've gotten 54 X issues that I've enjoyed. Which is 72% of the issues released.
    That averages out to 6.75 issues a month that I've been satisfied too elated by. So I couldn't be happier.

    Another layer of excitement for me is that all the new issue 1s that have come out in the last couple of weeks for wave 2, have been top-notch.

    You guys don't have to do the stat work I did, but if you take a bit of time to think on the last 8 months of X, I would love to know how you feel.

    It was truly the dawn of mutant!

    In fact, I look forward to wednesdays every week because of dox.

    For several years before dox, I felt that x-books were simply wasting the purchasing power of x-readers.

    Sooooo happy with DOX! Even if a random issue here or there has been "weaker", that's been rare for me and I'm still so in love with the entire world that has been created for us!

    Mostly good for X-Men except of cult stuff and Summers clan as center of X-Men but a complete trash for my favorite characters like Gambit and Rogue.
