    This event had no Rogue, no Gambit, no Askani, no Kwannon, those should have been included in major roles.

    I agree.

    Considering the powers that mutants have access to, there shouldn't even be any chronic condition or disease anymore that they couldn't cure before the person dies.

    They can teleport to the center of creation and mine some super mineral from there, but things like saving someone from cancer, MS or ALS are somehow uncurable to the point that they can only clone and replace the person who suffers from it?

    It's the same issue as One More Day where seemingly nobody could safe someone from a simple bullet wound, so the hero needs to make a deal with the devil.

    Not to forget the weird logic that the best solution to any physical issue is full blown death and replication via cloning.

    Overall that's one of the issues of having a status quo which should be world changing, but still sticking to the rule that super powered people can't lastingly change the world at all.

    The willing suspension of disbelief on those things works, when either not enough attention is drawn to it, or when the heros remain "outside" the law, which prevents them from legaly making use of their powers like that.
    But neither is the case with this X-men status quo anymore. So it just draws un-needed attention to logical holes.

    I enjoyed this event a lot personally. Lot of interesting angles that made it a lot more fun than the hero vs hero stuff that it initially looked like.

    If there's anything to be taken away from this event, it's that Katrina is canonically awful.
    She'll be Hellion's arch enemy in his inevitable ongoing series.

    As much as i would like to dunk on this event as a whole. Structurally, it's the best we have gotten since well Claremont left the first time. Personally dont care for gillen but he did well. MVP was Ewing tho, Red smashed it 3 for 3. The ending was weak but that's to be expected from most events.

    Wondering how storm will use uranos. Hmmm guess we shall see.
    Ororo Munroe is Twilight Sparkle in xmen red if that makes sense.

    It had Cable on some covers, but other than getting merck’d by Uranos in the first issue he didn’t do shit.

    Thanks for the Nimrod Balloon picture.

    From the summary I guess most of the issue was people going "let's kill the thing. No ! Ok let's not kill it ! Ok let's kill it anyways. Do we kill it ? Oh it killed itself" and ressurected everybody else except Sersi and Magneto.
    Cannot wait to read it though.

    Yes they are. That was underlined.

    I thought it was interesting that Jean chose claws over a visor for her psychic totality. And that she asked Sinister for help.

    Everything that happened in judgment day is the fault of orchis and moira when she stole the identity of the five to druid and asked to attack krakoa and arakko and now they are celebrating just because they attacked the progenitor so that they hadn't done anything before kurt convinced moira to help them... humans know very well that orchis is an anti-mutant group I don't find it very logical that they should celebrate like that...

    the mutants have saved the earth and arakko then allows now brings humans back to life thanks to the protocol, how the x-office will justify that humans do nothing when orchis and their enemy will attack krakoa in fall of x?

    the event was cool but the judgment part which wants to show humans, mutants and eternal their mistakes may seem useless when we already know that orchis and other antimutant humans will continue to attack mutants have a perfect example with the u-men in today's new mutant 31...
    Perhaps judgment would have had more of a place after the mutants solved their problem with their enemies rather than before, or else it would have been necessary to keep only the war part between mutant and eternal and leave aside the progenitor.

    Same here. Very telling.

    Wasnt it nice that the story had actual stakes for the characters since they arent all just permanently immortal

    I very much enjoyed this event.

    I don't enjoy Sersi dying as she's my favorite Eternal, but otherwise, I very much enjoy this event.

    Yeah, the Progenitor reset everything to just before it made final judgment. So the destruction caused by Uranos is still present as well as the fighting across the globe that happened when the world was panicking (we see Cap and Jada talking next to an overturned car, busted up buildings, etc.) So I guess the damage done to Krakoa by the Hex still needs to be repaired.
