Due to separate things going on in life, I found myself without time for reading monthly comics, and decided to halt the monthly grind. At this stage I had already bought the HOXPOX Hardcover. That's not unusual for me, I collected omnibus and Deluxe hardcovers, it's my preferred manner of reading.
Fast forward to now, I've read the hardcover of HOXPOX finally (ifl felt I should seeing as my online retailer finally got the House Of X Marvel Legends wave in for me) and it sent me into that all-too familiar feeling of bliss, intrigue and oxytocin one gets from Hickman's writing. Unfortunately, I'm now not quite sure where to proceed from here. I don't care about the secondary characters off doing sidestories, I want the meat and potatoes, the stuff that matters, and definitely the stuff Hickman does.
I saw he has an omnibus coming out in December. There's my Xmas present to myself. Could someone please be kind enough to help me out here, as I'm totally lost, and don't know what other material I need for it all to make sense. I'd assumed Marvel would just issue it all in a series of omni's, but that doesn't quite appear to be the case, putting the legwork back on the consumer. For instance, X Of Swords HC, do I need that, that kind of thing.
I thank anyone who read this post and truly thank anyone who can answer me and/or provide information/links/whatever on what I need to do, or on how Marvel's planning to handle this.
May you all have cheerful day filled with sunshine.
