a little birdie told me it done they re maybe an isue 6 or special wrap up book but its over.......legion of x is gonzoo as well the shipping delays did not help but sales were not good vita has otehr x work line d up though
Vita is on New Mutants tho?
Legion of X #5 solicit sounded like a last issue to me.
Not too mad that this is over, per say, but annoyed that they didn't just finish it out as Excalibur in that case. Like, we ended at Excalibur 26. These 5 issues could have been 27, 28, 29, and a double sized 30 (especially if you cut out the necessary recapping in KoX #1).

I see Storm's future husband Death is starting to get his push I am very pleased by this
Very interesting, I was wondering why KOX wasn't getting a tie in for Judgment day, maybe there will be one in issue #5. I'm hoping you are right. I'm kind of new to comics, but if this is a mini or maybe canceled how long till new books replace them? Will these members of the cast have to wait till after AXE to find new books or even longer?
I know it's bad when I hear Milligan's name thrown about. Gambit had some cool moments in Excalibur like 2-3 panels but it actually just flat out got SOO bad since KOX, I was not expecting that, I thought surely things would get better.
So...Gambit's dead, as expected. Honestly they should have dragged Sinister here and had him die instead.
I disagree on the worldbuilding. Tini has a tendency of taking old continuity and warping it in favor of whatever her plans are, and the additions made to the Otherworld do not feel like it was worth the random changes done.
I think I've already made my thoughts clear on the narrative's worship of Apocalypse.
I also retract my wish for Mad Jim to be involved in the plot if they are just going to use him as a hostage throughout the book. Like...why have it be Mad Jim? Why would Excalibur even really care about Mad Jim dying or not? Honestly, you know what it should have been? Merlyn and Arthur should have captured and prepared to execute Brian Braddock instead. Husband of Meggan. Sister of Betsy. Rachel's former teamate. Actually involve the original Captain Britain. It honestly would make as much sense logically and would give the team a better emotional connection to this.
I guess it would depend on the plans of the X-writers, and during the last few years they've been working very closely together to keep things cohesive across the line. They've been planning many months in advance. With the Hellfire Gala and AXE around the corner it's actually a good time to shake things up, during and after these events. Krakoa is about to elect a new team of X-Men so it's a good opportunity to move some characters around if this series is indeed a mini IMO. I'm just not sure if the timing lines up for that as the Gala is soon I believe.

As an addendum, I really doubt we are going to see anything with Bei which is more than a little annoying, considering how little has been done with her. Ah well.
Because saving Mad Jim means getting a favor from one of the rulers of a realm in Otherworld....
I mean they are clearly trying to take back Otherworld from Merlyn you kind of needs allies to do that. Right now all they have is Roma and Avalon.
Everyone else is either an enemy or doing their own thing which we clearly see from Apoc and Mr M.
Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if in a few issues we see that there are Merlyn loyalist within Avalon since so many different species and creatures live in it.

Well, i mean let's be honest, they are pretty much going to end up together before this series ends because why not?
And Destiny did predict his death...just not where it was going to happen. So either he gets brought back as Death or something messed up like Santo, or they find the Siege and it fixes him somehow because magic or it has something to do with Rogue either way it sucked to see him get killed.
