Hellions #5 - X of Swords Chapter 6 Spoilers/Review

[Dante Milton]

This was very entertaining. Zeb's dialogue was great, and there were so many funny scenes. Carnero's art looks even better than the last time I saw it in Red. Greycrow is going to murder Empath so hard.

[Big Joe]

"I haven't had to wipe my own ass since my x-gene activated" was by far my favourite line in any comic for years.

[MentalManipulator]

Yeah, I also expected Jaime to say something totally offensive about Psylocke and end up with a sword to his neck again.

All I wanted from this...something very short. But Marvel still choses to ignore the status for now...

This issue had a lot of great lines.



Sinister: You see? Emma loves it. Though someone should tell her face.

This was glorious...I totally understand Emma...I have the same issue

[danielsan52]

Loved this issue although it read rather fast. I’ll go back and re-read it later. Love the Empath development. I hope to see Firestar fry his range of telepathic influence again soon.

another great issue

Every time i pick up this book it gives me a laugh.

I wonder if Jamie Braddock will have a bigger role in this event.

[kevlon]

I LOVE this book! I think I laughed on every single page.

Empath is d!ck but I quite like the nteractions with GreyCOW.

And sinister telling Magneto to keep his daughter away from his boy Havok had me in stitches!

Hellions is by far my favourite x book at the moment.

I laughed so hard.
>This was the first XoS issue I've truly enjoyed since the first. Great art (I was worried about missing Segovia) and literal laugh out loud moments.
>The cape/tassels/plumage running joke still makes me laugh.
>Sinister vs Sinister using Rock, Paper, Scissors? Ha!
>Sinister and Psylocke and even Nanny are telepathic. They could have dealt with their attackers without appeasing Empath with Greycrow as his sub. Greycrow is going to destroy Empath for this, hopefully not just kill him.
>Empath is truly unstable. I agree that killing him in Otherworld and then forcing a resurrection might be a good thing but it might be worse if the other versions drawn on to reconstitute him are even worse than he is.
>Peter is a bit slow, bless him.
>Jamie likes to kill and resurrect people? Oh, dear. At least he's getting out his homicidal tendencies somehow.

I'm not sure if the Hellions' mission can succeed but I don't care! I'm loving the journey, not the destination!
X-Book of the week!

I love Cypher but I do think he would smell like milk.

It's weird how entertaining a genuinely funny comic can be. Like this was the most I laughed at a comic in a long time and it was absolutely one of my favourite issues of anything I've read in ages. A really great read.

I know, right?! I can't wait to get the physical trade of this first volume!

[Wolverine12]

This issue was hilarious. Every good campaign needs a solid side quest or two and I think Hellions is going to deliver. I can’t wait to see Greycrow slice Empath in half.

[superjosh]

I thought this issue was hilarious. Sinister being pre-occcupied with losing his cape for half of the issue was gold. And the last part where he was wearing the priestess' cape... LOLLLLL.

But it was also a completely ridiculous addition to XofS. Their mission is crazy, would never work, and no one would approve of it.

Arakko: Our swords were stolen.

Saturnyne: Krakoa stole them. They lose.

End scene.

[Hulkout42]

They literally say. It's 10 swords and Gorgon has two. There's no 10th person.

Did they say ten swords or ten champions because i am pretty sure they said champions.

[LordAllMIghty]

This book doesn't know how to disappointed me. I think Sinister and Empath might have moved up in my favorites characters system. Graycrow gonna make a Olympic sport out of killing Empath. I can't wait...lol

I took that to another level when it comes to insults...like he was talking about a baby and breast milk.

[Devaishwarya]

Carmen Carnero's art is...pretty damn attractive. I'm impressed.
I wasn't a fan before but she's got my attention now. I want to see her on another X-book as an ongoing artist.

I wasn't hot on her X-Men: Red art but I really like it here.
