    Arraki lived on a hell dimension 24/7, but whatever krakoa has the true strenght of heart

Ever single match seems to have a hint of reason in there to help Krakoa even the White Sword one where Gorgon was able to garner 13 points.

    Saturnine is sticking it to certain Krakoans she has reason to have a grudge against while still pushing things overall towards their side.

    Thus why I used the Bad Ref analogy. Genesis would just be the worst coach ever, lol.

    Some would say the x-men grew up in a hell dimension too but they had much smarter "demons" to deal with.

    Yup and just think about this Betsy is off the table but no where has it been said she is dead, it keeps saying she is shattered. Every lethal match the Krakoans have had Saturyne managed to put logan in it or find a way to basically stop it. Though Storm has been drugged we know she is still being underestimated because of that same drugging is whats keeping anyone present from truly knowing what her powers are. Then we find out Saturyne was letting Cable give Scott and Jean info for quite sometime despite blocking out all other telepaths with ease. Saturyne is the real MVP and Gorgon gets honorable mention

    More like plot-induced stupidity of an otherwordly level, really. Next week's Excalibur is going to be such a cringey affair, lol.

    Anyone `else thought the kitten scene didn't sit well with em. bothered me as a cat lover(who also owns a adult cat version of the fluffy black kitten we see in the comic). i want to headcanon that it was a test of who willing to do it and then it was stopped before anything happened to the kitten plus the artist drew the kitten so damn cute. damnit.

    Guess Death should have wielded the black bone of the underworld, rather than the black bone of the book about the underworld (Amduat is "The Text of the Hidden Chamber Which is in the Underworld", Duat is the name of the underworld itself).

    Also going up in a one on one fight with Storm wielding a weapon made of bone? Big mistake. Well maybe it turns out he is still alive too because he had a second heart.

    As for the small guy inside big bio-robot crocodile deal, it does explain why Pogg Ur-Pogg was considered a weapon to be collected.

    Makes me realize what Brian would have done if the Illuminati had him join up much earlier during the Incursions.

    Another great issue illustrated by Cassara, this time with a badass Storm focus versus a badass Logan focus. Enjoyed it immensely.

    Have you also felt sorry for Redroot? She doesn't seem evil, she just wants to reunite Arakko with Krakoa.

    I actually did feel bad for redroot. Not sure who this was for though. She seemed like a good sport especially liked the "im rooting for you" to captain avalon.
    But i think White Sword is the break out character of X of Swords.

    Complete and utter BS pretty much sums up my thoughts on the conclusion of that particular match-up.
