Ilyana's phrasing suggests Doug is going to find some clever solution to his fight to me. I don't see him dying.
The current Cable issue has nothing to do with anything that came before. It seems more like a backdoor pilot for SWORD than an issue of Cable or an event tie-in.Cable felt like a nothing issue up until those final pages but I also haven't been reading any prior to this
Hellions was simply magnificent and the whole exchange around making Sinister go was perfect

I'm also of the camp that these stories are all happening in parallel and not sequential. So storm is arriving at the ring within moments of others.
"After hearing Sinister being an insuferable twat as usual I'd like to change my vote to "FUCK SINISTER" if that's alright with everyone"
I'm looking for some recommendations on what run I should pick up next in trades:
The Messiah Complex/War/Second Coming or Gillen's run on Uncanny?
I'm looking for something relatively self-contained with good characterization. If I get the two Compete Collections of Gillen's run will it make sense without the full AvX story?

The Messiah arc was a favorite of mine. Outside of some meh art I like how the story unfolded
You start with Messiah Complex. War happens afterm
The art in Messiah War was INCREDIBLE, I dug that style so much
I do think that Doug will die. "This body once belonged to a mutant who could communicate with anything. I maintain all that he was though he has long left this existence" Krakoa - PoX 2 - Moira's 9th life.
YO WHAT
Edit: I see you guys explained.
I really have no idea what'll happen to Doug. Oh man.
You're welcome. I actually had it in a draft I was going to post yesterday when someone else was unable to find it. The draft was still there when I pulled up this thread again.
Did they ever explain what the hell was going on with Magneto Xorn after the retcon? And how he came back?I'm still waiting to see the Xorn brothers together in the modern day since we know they're both on Krakoa.
The answer is shut upDid they ever explain what the hell was going on with Magneto Xorn after the retcon? And how he came back?
There was some I just didn't love. Maybe it was the XForce stuff? I'd need to go back and check
I'm still waiting to see the Xorn brothers together in the modern day since we know they're both on Krakoa.
Maybe I'm misremembering the storylines, but I thought the art in the issues withwas badassArchangel, Stryfe, and Apocalypse in the future
All four of the original horsemen are there in that reveal page, as well as the next one. In the first one, War is just obscured in the background behind Apoc's left side.Hox #2 specifically shows Pestilence, Death and Famine but not War - or Genesis for that matter.
You know what, you're right. She's very hard to see in the reveal page but the next page it's clearer.All four of the original horsemen are there in that reveal page, as well as the next one. In the first one, War is just obscured in the background behind Apoc's left side.
I consider myself a newbie when it comes to comics, but I feel I've read enough recent X issues with Apocalypse to better understand the character. I've also gone back to AoA and read ~60% of the arc. However, I've yet to see him use his shape shifting abilities. How integral is this power to his character? Has to become less relevant as time went on, or have the issues I've read (especially HoxPox) simply not featured situations where he's normally use it?
So, I've got a question after reading Excalibur this week. I might be missing something obvious, butttttt
So, my understanding is that only mutants can go through the Krakoa gates right? Hence the whole "why can't Kitty get through" storyline. Yet, on the last page of this weeks issue, Brian Braddock goes through one. I thought he wasn't a mutant?
House of X #1 established that non-mutants can go through as long as they are accompanied by a mutant and/or have Krakoa's permission.
They are reality manipulations. Not the real ones.I jumped into Excalibur since it was part of X of Swords, but I haven't been reading it. So I was super confused by this issue.
What is Jamie's whole deal, why do Gambit/Rogue/Jubilee go after him, and did he really kill Jubilee? Why did everyone seem pretty okay with that?

It's super confusing but in Excalibur #10 Jamie, using Earth 616 as a base, created an offshoot reality where the UK goes to war with Krakoa. Jamie kills that reality's Betsy causing another offshoot reality where each member of Excalibur is offered a talisman and becomes Captain Britains. Seems Jamie wanted to fill the ranks of the depleted Captain Britain Corp. but as for why he wanted to do that? Shrug. Also Saturnyne views them as an affront, captures them and now we see is planning to execute them. Again, it's really confusing and kind of sloppy.
