Best thing about this is the art. I love me some Jim Cheung.

That handful of Avengers took out Apocalypse, an army of X-Men, and a group of villains. Hmmm...

I think it was most Thor cutting Poccy down.

And really, I don't think there's anyone amongst the villains or heroes that can stop the Hulk (or Kluh) in this case.

[Stars & Stripes]

This is not gonna end well for Havok. (And, by extension, the Wasp, for that matter.)

[True Believer Tony]

You guys are right. I really rushed through last issue, forgot Thor had his anti-celestial axe and that the villains were kind of fighting both sides.

So glad to see this art though. Finally get to see that beautiful Raven/Victor scene they released ages ago.

I'm still hoping it ends with the two of them choosing to take a break from the hero life to start their family together. It'd certainly make up for Havok's departure from the Avengers back in issue 3.

When you've got a Thor and a Hulk it's not necessarily out of the realm of possibility.

Plus, the Avengers came in fresh after the X-Men had already battled the inverted villains.

I guess it serves as a reminder that, even inverted, Evan is no real Apocalypse.

At least he backhanded Kluh like Apocalypse did to Hulk before he made him War, that's a bit of consistency.

Given how the X-men have been treated lately, that sounds about right. Then again, they are inverted. That means their competence might be inverted as well.

Overall, this series has been better than I think some are willing to give it credit for. I like the concept. I like how it was set up. It just hasn't been executed very well. It had some very correctable flaws. But with only one issue left, I don't think those flaws are going to get corrected. I'm now more interested in the long-term impact. Whatever it ends up being, I think we can say with a fair amount of certainty that the X-men will suffer much more than anyone else. That's just how Marvel does business these days.

X-Men suffering has always been how marvel does business. They play the victims in a world where everyone else needs to be written as a bigot in order for them to have their role. As I said earlier in this thread, I find the small violin playing in the background a bit tiresome at times but that's really what seperates the X-Men from other super heroe teams.

Now they get to have their X nation thing or whatever, which was alluded to in Hickmans book.

What separates XMen from other super hero teams is the minority allegory.

I think you are confusing the threads.

Why is the Red Skull White instead of Red

Because he is inverted. Obviously.

And in X-men color scale, red is bad and white is good.

There were more players than just them. Thor used the Celestial killing axe on Evanpocalypse and then The Absorbing Man absorbed its' properties and fought him with it (not that it should make him do any extra damage beyond the suit. There was a sort of free for all between the groups. How the Avengers came out on top, I do not know, but the X-Men had to essentially face them and the inverted villains.
