I've wanted an AoA-style Morph in 616 for so long, especially since Exiles Morph is now dead.
Just so you know 616 Morph is this guy
And you can see him on Karoka among the crowd looking at Xavier's corpse in X-Force 2.

he'd look like x-men animated morph if he just wore the generic 90s team gear instead of that dumb helmet.
This is, what we call in the business, a meet-cute.
He's probably got something big cooking with Wanda (and hopefully Pietro) also.
"A beacon slices darkness, stationed in space. A young man, born old, pilots a place."
I know this is is supposed to be Cable. But does anyone else think the rest of this refers to the Peak. Headquarters of SWORD.

Yeah, it's basically confirmed - he boots it up with his ROM sword in Chapter 1 of X of Swords
Oh that's right. Forgot about that. So Cable's sword is a space station. He doesn't do anything small does he.

Yeah :(
But it's Ewing, so I think it'll be fine. I'm not reading King in Black either way though, so LOL
I dig it. I also dig the fact that I'm not just reliant on Storm, Sunspot, and Bishop for representation as main characters.
Sunspot needs to show up more though.
Ewing loves him even more than Hickman does, so SWORD will probably run into him once they start dealing with the Shi'ar!

Mike Carey did such a great job making Frenzy a real fleshed out character. I'm thrilled to see her back.
If you trade wait, it'll probably be less annoying wonder if plot threads will be picked up in the next issue or if they're planted for long term seeding for the future since you'll be able to move on immediately, but then you'll miss out on the moment to moment hype!
If you don't care about getting hype on era or whatever it'll be a lot more easier to follow, convenient and cheaper to trade wait
oh sorry I meant is it better to get the dawn of x trades which switch between titles or is it better to collect the trades that focus on a single title.
100% - I'm really glad I read his whole run. He added so much to the X - lore.
New Mutants #13 cover
It's depicting a match-up I wasn't expecting. Especially since Magik should be standing still.

I think it's going to be Cypher's sword training. I believe he said something about not being ready but he'll step up.
Man, this crossover is starting to get close to the same level as HoXPoX. So good!
Frenzy is a cool character
More Frenzy please
I do prefer her Xmen Legacy look
MAN that book was so good
i need to reread it one day
I never done a complete read of Mike carey run just story arc here wnd there and i need to change that
He's one of the best x writers
you do - especially as hickman draws more & more from him.
he's def one of the best x writers and probably the most underrated
I do wish they'd stop calling her Psylocke. She was never Psylocke. Call her Revanche if you want her to have a post-human name. But she is technically stealing Betsy's identity... Again.
In my opinion he was the best X-Men writer since Claremont. And only Hickman has been his equal.
But she is Psylocke. Just like Betsy is Captain Britain, Kamala is Ms. Marvel, and Laura is Wolverine.
Betsy moved on to a new name, so did Kwannon.
Yeah but someone needs to be the psychic Asian ninja sooooo
I suppose. But it feels off considering her past of pretending to be the real Betsy in the past.
There's no good in universe reason the same way there was no good in universe reason Laura went back to x23 for a while after logan came back
It's a brand thing obviously
Considering how messy the whole body swap thing is in general, this is the cleanest break.
And it means they don't have to change any merchandising.
I'm trying to get my fiancé to read X of Swords. He read HoX/PoX but stopped after the conclusion of the event. I think he'll feel overwhelmed if I asked him to read every X title I purchased. So what are real prerequisites to jump into XoS? I looked online and found the official checklist. It only lists X-Men #12 and Excalibur #12 as preludes, but that can't be enough, can it?
Have him read 1-11 from Excalibur as well and then he'll be good to start. XOS runs through every book, but it's really an Excalibur event.
You really need to follow Excalibur all the way through, X-Men #1 & 2 and 11 before starting #12.
I just reread these exact issues this weekend, and I agree with this list.
On a related note: has it been discussed that in X-Men #2 there is a data page listing that there is currently 1 High Summoner (presumably the character Summoner, as he is already marked as a high summoner when we first see him), but in issue #12 there are 2? That seems worrisome moving forward.
#12 was counting forces on Amenth's side, I think, so it makes sense for the numbers to be different.
Yeah, I just caught up with Excalibur this weekend and was amazed at how much it sets up for Swords of X. Wish I'd have gone with that rather than New Mutants as my post-House of X title.
Easy mistake to make, New Mutants started off way stronger.
If it were me, I'd gauge how reluctant they are first. If they're all enthusiastic and want to know every detail I'd give them X-Men #1-12, Excalibur #1, #3, #6, #9, #12 (might be hard to follow Excalibur but I'm really trying to cut out useless storylines and include the most important bits) and maybe Giant Size in case it ends up being important for Storm's character in XoS. Cable ties into his sword but I don't think that's important enough to recommend.
If they're less enthusiastic but still intrigued, I'd give them my faves: X-Men #2, #4, #7, #12, and maybe Excalibur #12
If they're reluctant and might not trust me next time I give them boring writing, I'd skip any Excalibur entirely lmao. I'd just give them X-Men #2 and #12. Honestly, the details of Excalibur aren't really even important, they're just...details. -A- made a gate to otherworld thx done, don't need to know it's made of external mutants, don't need to know he's dissecting Morgan le Fay, don't need to know about Jubilee's baby. The main reason to read Excalibur #12 is to know who Saturnyne is, the rest is covered adequately in X-Men/XoS.
