It’s war!
I always assumed Apocalypse was speaking metaphorically when he called the horsemen his children. Now that I know he had a wife, they might actually be his biological kids.
I am sure it will be explained later but why are the Horsemen attacking the last watch tower and leading a demon army toward Krakoa? Shouldn't they be defending it against the demon hordes sweeping toward Krakoa?
This looks so good... I'm loving the art and the design for the Horsemen. War is my absolute favorite.
Is the mummy famine or pestilence? It's a she, he or them? hehe
Loving the anticipation for this. Will this be a normal issue or a bigger one?
A picture would last longer darling...
Arakko was trapped in the Amenth demonic dimension. There's a chasm between Otherworld and that place. Only a Summoner can make a bridge through it. That's why he asked Apocalypse to open the External gate. Now they have free pass from Amenth to Otherworld and then most likely Krakoa.
Death looks wonderful.
Everyone's speaking in their 'high fantasy epic' voices.
I concur. The X-Men have always had the mystical side but this seems excessive and overly convoluted even by mutant standards. I'm hoping for a data page and a flow chart to easily explain wtf all this is really about, dimensional positioning, etc. At least it's gorgeous.
I think it's the Summoners who are dwindling.

Now I remember a Sinister secret hinting that Apocalypse is waiting for his horsemen to return and they are his favourites, so either that is his long game to use Arrako and them to take over the world or he maybe has cast his lot with Krakoa but his horsemen are looking at him as a traitor to the cause of the greater power they serve. The key is to know who this power is... This all said is just a tip of the Iceberg, we have powerful factions against each other like in Game of Thrones, Annihilation( don't know if he is one of the horsemen or leads them instead of Apocalypse in Amenth), the white sword and his 100 immortals, Isca the Mystique of Arrako ...Mouth watering..
The only mistake was not including Selene in this storyline..I'm still holding out for Hickman to throw us a bone that Selene herself is the progenitor of some non mutant but mutant like species maybe the Neo...that would be amazing
I'm confused by the fact that they're on Otherworld already and that Saturnyne (?) didn't answer their call before.
