So what did you think of the event?
What are your thoughts on the upcoming Reign of X?
Storytime
X of Swords Discussion
Best Hickman event I've ever read. Infinity turned me off Marvel comics for a good while. This has made me genuinely excited for the future of the X-Men.
Had a ton of fun.
Was excited to see what the OG Horsemen would be like. Was also excited to see the DBZ Tournament set up
Didn't expect it to go full Mario Party but I'm not complaining, that was fun too. And had generally good development for most characters involved.
Interested to see who from Arrako they bring over into the main story. I'm guessing Isca, Bea and Solem.
Gorgon's gonna have a botched resurrection, that's exciting.
Reign of X looks to be interesting, like the Mutants will start getting way more aggressive in international dealings and also get more pushback
Its gonna hurt when some no goodnick writer with an axe to grind rips Pooky's happy ending from him just to make him a villain again.
Or maybe Annihilation eventually corrupts him.
This will certainly join the classic x-overs, along with x-cutioner's song, ago of apocalypse or x-tinction agenda, inferno
Best event Marvel's done in ages. Still grinning at the idea of Krakoa explaining all this to the UN or whoever.
Should Pocy be a hero, though? Don't worry, Paco will always be a hero in our hearts
It's a meme event that was taylor-made for reddit
From what I've seen, there is going to be an inevitable conflict between the x-men and krakoa. I won't be surprised if at some point Cyclops & Co will thell Prof X to fuck off, and leave the island
another thing I've thought is that it's possible that some non-mutants might join the X-Men down the line
It was pretty good overall, especially the ending. Probably the best X-crossover in quite some time.
Do people think Monet and Angel are going to fill Jean and Apocalypse's council spots?
Pocy shouldn't be a hero for the humans. He should absolutely be a hero for the mutants.
they own x-corp, it certainly gives them some leverage and rights
>Make Pocky great
>Send him away
I think sunspot and Broo would be good candidates too. Does sunspot still own AIM? Either way he's rich, has connections, and is now a consort to Shiar royalty. Broo as both a genius and the new Brood king would be an important figure to have on the council.
at least he'll get laid
unlike me
Sunspot got deposed and took his money and left. I think he's a real estate mogul in shi'ar space or something now.
Assuming Hickman is staying on this shit for another couple of years, I'd say the most likely thing to happen is for -A- and his family + the other Arrako swords to be kept in the wings until the big Machine Uprising arc where Nimrod and the dark future start to take place
who's going to tell his boyfriend
I'll happily accept the Franklin retcon if Witch and Quicksilver are back to being mutants again. Do it, Hickman.
Very possible.
It seems like, based on the text-dump, they're trying to create a more formal mutant military outside of the concept of X-men (who are just school teachers and counselors and interns basically).
I am genuinely curious. If Krakoa becomes a main stay that exists alongside and parallel to the Xmen Team, that would be super interesting.
Mikhail and Shadow King
Think they'll hold an election for the new council members or just continue having Xavier non-democratically appointing who he wants?
>Vote Monet St. Croix for new council woman of Krakoa
I'm sure Gambit and Rouge and Jubilee will let Rictor down easy
>Hellions and X-Factor next week
Oh boy. Judging by solicits, X-Factor is where they're dealing with Gorgon's resurrection and what's going on with Rockslide now.
>taylor-made
retard
They really need a standing army and equipment. We know that dampeners are a thing, so is magic and reality alterers, Krakoa is just a Wild Sentinel away from being another Genosha
it's the golf ball event!
geez can you imagine the sass in the council? M, Emma, and sinister at the table?
Good good
Maybe they can get Mr M and Jim in the fold, theyre mutants after all.
>Unfunny Sass-Men
>Was excited to see what the OG Horsemen would be like
>Death gets utterly BTFO by Storm without even using her powers, just some Wakandan bullshit
I hope we get a nice arc of Krakoans meeting Arakkis and giving eachother a headsup on things not to do.
Maybe we can see what their equivalents to the omegas are since it doesn't look like either side had any participating.
issues about how each X-Man got their sword
issues of "PSYCH!" where they don't use their swords for tournament.
issues of armies, armies, armies
If I paid for this, I would be so mad.
I could see that happening, some future writer resetting him to the original "natural selection, temper them with fire, give them the dick t. darwin" villain with the setup that the dimension where they went gets wrecked for some reason, and he comes back to "save" Earth from whatever went wrong on the other side using his og survival of the fittest methods.
Looks like kino is back on the menu boys
they're probably quite happy with Saturnyne keeping Jim distracted with the Crooked Market
Isca was confirmed an Omega
it has been back on the menu for a while, though
plz be Hellblazer tier
hey
Wild Child is missing, not drawn as a character, not written on the tombstone
Isca is officially omega, and her new color scheme is a downgrade.
I've been following the storytimes here since HoX/PoX.
That was a lovely event. I had a lot fun.
Apocalypse finally got to win something and keep it and that made me happy.
I'm kinda sad he is going away for a while now.
Summoner also got wasted. I was expecring more from him.
I guess the whole Summoner and Hive connection conjecture did not pay off after all huh?
He's on the cover for the next issue, so I think they honestly just forgot about him.
What are you most looking forward too lads?
