Rise of the Powers of X #1 - Preview and Gillen Interview

[lefthanded]

While thats part of it I think a bigger factor is that during the original HoXPoX we had no idea what was going on. The mystery of the original event was big factor of it, and even if Hickman was writing the finale, itd be tricky recapturing that.

Part of it also has to do with the fact that it is two different writers, and one writer is already spoiling the other’s story.

HoX/PoX had one writer in Hickman, mystery as to how they connect, and mystery as to whether success/failure in one book will affect the other book. Readers felt the need to read both books, or miss out on interconnected tidbits.

Here, we have two writers, with no mystery that Duggan’s mutants are destined for failure since Gillen’s future happens . Since it is two writers, we have no confidence that they will be very interconnected. So in effect, nothing that happens in Duggan’s book matters; the only book to read is Gillen’s.

I always enjoy Gillen's dialogue.
