While I’ll agree that some of those event tie-ins could have been cut, he had to do some stuff with Arrako (which was teased in HOX/POX), the Children of the Vault, the Crucible, Mystique/ Orchis, and even the Shi’ar to get here. You can’t tear down a status quo without building one first.
I can't help but notice that SWORD is not represented anywhere in this teaser.
Just a guess, assuming this Inferno ties into what's going in Cable with Stryfe and Hellions with Madelyne Pryor.
Logan is linked to Moira since he's the one who kills her in two of her lives
Jean is linked to Stryfe since she's his "mother"
Alex is linked to Madelyne since he's her lover
Gambit is linked to Mr. Sinister since he's his son (maybe)
Lorna is linked to Magneto since she's his daughter
Until we have the full September solicits we don't if and how the other books are affected.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
So let me get this straight you think that just because people want to see Hickman follow up on plot lines that he introduced back in HoX means that every other writerr and all the character work and plotting and World building that they did is filler?
Do you kind of see how ridiculous that sounds?
