Looks like we'll have an Inferno by Hickman HC. The miniseries was announced recently

I think I'm missing something again with the Xbooks
I gave Marauders a shot since I see it on a lot of recommendations and it just fell flat to me.. Does it get better after issue 3 or am I missing something? The same goes for Excalibur, I felt it was really wordy.
IMO it doesn't get any better for either series. Marauders is really just a Kitty/Emma series while the rest of the team legit do nothing. Excalibur is the same except it's much worse and terribly written. If you want to read a good Hickman era X-book I recommend Hellions and Sword.
Do you feel the Marvel Masterworks are worth the premium price they go for?
Excalibur works for some people but is definitely not one of the books people frequently mention among the best of the DoX era. (Marauders often IS, so it may just not work for you, though I agree that the start is a little uneven.)
In general, the best current X-books are Hellions, Marauders, and X-Factor (which just ended). Way of X is getting a ton of love but is only two issues in. New Mutants is getting really good reviews for the current run (Vita Ayala writing) and the Hickman issues, with reaction to the Ed Brisson issues being more mixed. It’s absolutely worth reading currently, though.
EDIT: people seem to like SWORD too, though I haven’t read it so can’t comment.
Breaking News: 1 New Marvel Omnibus in March 2022!
I'm kind of disappointed with the whole Dawn of X premise. Its convoluted, makes pretty much all of the X-characters smarmy and dislikeable, and the overall premise just does not add up. I don't see how any of the events with Moira/Xavier/Magneto could happen in light of the retcon.
Also- the killing off of characters- if one of your loved ones died, and the technology was there to clone/implant memories, you'd still mourn for your loved one. That person would still be dead- I don't get how the characters could ever be so blase about it.
I wish there had been a tighter focus for this series- and maybe an actual 'theme'.
So I've got 6-8 items I'm eyeing for the current DCBS pre-orders, spread over October, November, January, and December. How does that work, do I make 1 big order with all those items but they don't ship until the last item is released but they hold my stuff for me from the previous months? Or do they go ahead and factor in the 4 different shipping charges automatically and send me 1 shipment each month?
I figure it's quicker to get a reply here than it is to email them and there are only a few days left until FOC.
DCBS offers weekly or monthly shipping a $7.50 per shipment.
I would be most cost effective to order all at once and pay the flat rate, and then select the single (monthly) shipping option. You'll pay a grand total up front, and receive the books as they become available.
