Let your wallet talk.
Never forget, Cyke fans~ https://twitter.com/i/status/1246248602768486402
Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.

My main gripe is well let me get the obvious caveat out of the way first maybe Amenth needs to first be beaten in a battle of will by its wearer to weaken it ,with that I'm cool but Sat9 actually moulding a full on godlike entity from its 'visage' into a fancy fly swatter(I know it's a royal fan but still) is ridiculous.If Saturnyne had that kind of power why even engage a tournament..it beats logic.With her power she could negate Amenth from breaching outworld from the get go.I feel it would be more logical if she locked away the mask or magically exorcised the entity to say Blightspoke ,but not do what she did.That was a silly gimmick by the writers ,but yeah that and weak post Stasis issues up till the final 3 means it's not as epic as it could have been but pretty decent conclusion

If anything it's men Hickman can't write well , Apoc is a hero fine but it was not the mask making Genesis emasculate in fact belittle her husband that way.She was doing that on Okkara and he just takes it ... let's face it Apoc has or had been gelded and it's thanks to Hickman
It's Gwenpool. Leah Williams had her move to Krakoa.
"Cable was right!"
Just read the last 3 issues.
OMG, it's quite good unlike most of the previous issues that were just fillers.
They could have spread the 'X of Swords Destruction' into several issues because there were too many X-Men present and too many things happening at the same time.
It would have been good if most of these 'extra X-Men' were given speeches and personal fight scenes as well if only for a page each but they were just wallpaper here.
It would have been better if the 'extra X-Men' were given extra panels in previous issues instead of those filler issues.
I know people think she 'switched sides' because the tide of the battle had changed, but I think she's connected in some way to the annihilation helmet and it was Apocalypse taking control of it that affected her. Of course, the fact that she can't be 'beaten' would still be a bad sign for the other guys. I think her goals might have changed to align with Apocalypse's, since he wanted to save his people she stopped killing them and started trying to save them.
This explanation doesn't explain much, because why did she side with Amenth the first time can we surmise she wanted Arraki dead? ...That doesn't make sense,what makes sense is she like Genesis wants the best of the best to be rulers and perhaps felt honoured to be allied to an entity bringing mutantdom through a crucible of testing.That makes logical sense because if Apoc was tested by Amenth and overcame it she would still intrinsically be siding with a tested and worthy mutant. The more nefarious option is she just goes with the tide or simply plays a game offering her 'luck' for a time to the one she chooses on a whim
The completely made up and reaching option is to learn down the line she or her power stems from a superior cosmic entity who guides her through life almost like Saturnyne pulling strings,making events fall into place for her along the way.If they choose to explore her character we may yet learn how her power and fortune works

I hope they cover the Isca situation in the post-script. Maybe it has something to do with her being on the losing side cuz Apocalypse threw the fight when he surrendered.
"Cable was right!"
Btw since White Sword is such an autonomous badass, do you guys think he stayed in his spire in Arrako or Amenth wherever it is ,or is he going to join the multitudes of Arraki on Krakoa? At this point his gripe could be with Genesis for even considering selling her soul to Amenth, but will he be bitter at Apoc for overcoming the helmet despite donning it? Surely not unless he is a principled purist
After Gorgon died started speed reading just to get through it. Really wanted to see something done with Gorgon so I’m not pleased and now I guess Apocalypse is off the board too. Hopefully Exodus gets some shine and action in the future. I’m gonna have to read destruction again...
