He even told them not to kill the flatscans. We appreciate kindness.
Magneto-fanfic-writing preacher Exodus is a riot. Clearly, the dude is the biggest threat to Queen Moira's rule, lol.
Anyway. Thin, but fun issue.
I think you point about iceman is why i hsve issues with the approach taken with this combo application. the effort taken by Magneto and company needed to do the combo one of the mutants, as you pointed out, could have done alone.
and agreed. if you were reading the xmen alone you would not have a sense of the threat they pose, as they are presented as a much more formidable threat on the avengers.
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
Can someone explain to me what's going on with this volume of X-Men? Is it me or are the issues just not connected in the least? I've been a little behind in reading the issues but i feel lost. The first issue shows the Summers family and then we get the woman at the end who vows revenge on the X-Men for what happened during HOX/POX. Next issue was Krakoa merging with the other island (i think, i cannot remember) and the whole Apocalypse and that female summoner or whatever that thing was at the end. Then it just seems to jump around a bunch of times and then we have Gabriel Summers in space and now this Magneto issue. Are there any connections I'm missing? In my opinion, reading this volume is like watching the first season of the Animated Series; there are a series of episodes (in this case issues) that are not connected and just show randomness with a few tidbits here and there alluding to the grand scheme.
We're 11 issues in and it took you this long to figure that out? The series began as a series of oneshots, existing to build the world thats created in Dawn of X and we've seen several of the plots and characters introduced here get expanded in other books. With that said, its felt alot more connected in recent issues. 8 and 9 were a two-parter which served as a followup to Hickman's NM run. 10 and 11 is another two-parter serving as a tie-in to Empyre.
Yes, it's mostly a series of self-contained that setup storylines for later so far! I guess it can be a little confusing specially if you're waiting for some plots to develop like the Children of the Vault stuff.
I love the series as it is now but I guess it would be less of a whiplash coming after HoXPoX if Hickman had done an strong arc first instead of going straight into evil grannies and summers family dinamics. Maybe the first arc of New Mutants should've actually been here instead idk.
this was well written and the art was super sophisticated but now I just want SoX to be here!!!
enough of this Empyre fillers.
A picture would last longer darling...
Is anyone even picking up Avengers. How are those sales.
In regards to the Hickman series. Does anyone know if he made any other statements regarding the issues. He did say that the first 12 planned were more self contained and mostly set up and world building.
Excited to see what the series are all like after Swords of X.
I like that Hickman is acknowledging the ridiculous amount of times that Krakoa has been attacked right on the eve of a major X-event which will see Krakoa attacked AGAIN. Lol they really can't catch a break.
