At least the ones that got fucked up in Avalon will have rez issues.
The evil Amenth hellions specifically says that the swordbearers went to Otherworld so unless someone fucked up Amenth should be fine
Unless Sinister lied
Amenth was always it weird dimension
To be fair i thought amenth was on Otherworld too lol
I mean only Gorgon has died who we all suspected lol
I doubt Betsy is actually dead that screams Magic Emma Saturdays shenanigans
Amenth is not Otherworld, but we also don't know if resurrections are possible from Amenth. It depends on whether it introduces corruption into the storage like a death on Otherworld does.
Rockslide aside, have we had any resurrections of people who died in another universe yet?

Wind Dancer was killed in Mojoworld in Xfactor, she should have been in the queue for ressurection they never mentioned yet if there was a problem
After much fuckery and wandering that was a rather big ending. It felt a bit rushed, in a way, and I kind of wish the bits were strung out more and the overall story was fleshed out.
I'd still take this over Secret Wars though. After that I came away enamored with Doom and Black Panther. X of Swords had me thinking and wondering about so many different characters and now waiting on more to see where this goes.

They went all out with the ending, which probably landed better because there wasn't as much fighting in the lead up to it. Impressed that they even got Gwenpool in there. Fitting end to Apocalypse's story, and it's going to be great seeing the Arakko people show up more.
Two empty seats on the council now too, a lot of places this could go.
Laughed at Saturyne asking if Annihilation should be turned into a sword.

Release list updated through February.
As expected, X-Corp and Moira X are still MIA.
Some big gaps here. X-Men and Wolverine are off until 30 December, and Cable isn't back until 20 January.
Children of the Atom starts on 6th January, and then is nowhere to be seen for two months.
Otherwise, the titles have settled back into a monthly rhythm.

I wonder how divergent this result really is.
If im remembering correctly in PoX when Moira when to join Apoc he was already hanging with his horsemen/kids with no annihilation in sight, which makes me think something similar might have gone down then.
Different certainly, but not too wildly away from her experiences.
So Death is dead in the cast list but seems to be ruling the vampire realm lol. Guess he really is undead now.
Alternatively, Apocalypse now has access to another army to bolster the forces of Krakoa should they need it.

That's a good point. It will be interesting to see if Apocalypse and Genesis's forces can help turn the tide when Nimrod inevitably arises.
So I have a feeling one of the new council members will be a representative of Arrako, any bets who it might be? Also, I imagine Isca will be taking over Gorgon's duties.
I was thinking Isca for Apocalypse's seat, since Apocalypse, Genesis, and their kids stayed in Amenth. I'd put an Arakki in Jean's seat too, but I don't think we know enough of them for that.
The thing with her is that she is never beaten... Which only means that if she is on the losing side she will switch to the winning side.
It's kind of a cheat but it also grounds her powers a bit
It also looked like her color scheme inverted. I couldn't tell if she like got possessed or assimilated or something, it was weird
More specifically, as I understand it, she only switches sides when the situation is hopelessly beyond her power's ability to change. Otherwise she just doesn't lose.
She's basically a more limited version of Darwin with victory instead of survival. The turncoat thing being kind of like what happened when Darwin fought Hulk. His powers took the path of least resistance and just booked it out of there. But they could have gone further if teleporting away wasn't an option.
I imagine Iska turns traitor once beyond a certain point of likely victory but if attaining victory by switching sides wasn't an option her powers would find another way.
OP
OP
Would anyone else be interested in the X-Men functioning as Krakoa's Avengers going forward? No government backing or resources, but not outlawed or clandestine. Focused on issues that aren't a matter of statecraft and only answerable to the council insofar as any citizen of Krakoa is.
They don't really need Avengers though. At least not in the same way the outside world does.
It'd be like an Avengers team where everyone is Hawkeye!
More importantly, as was demonstrated in X-Men, they could do with a group that isn't representative of Krakoa as a nation and that isn't directly answerable to the Quiet Council.
Im pretty sure that's exactly how it's going to go. And I think Charles wants this because it represents a completely independent entity that can hold them to account, even if it comes to a combat situation, without having to worry about the entire species being thrown under the bus. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the real role Cyke was meant to play in all of this to begin with.
X-Men should have more of a linear narrative now as well, now that there's presumably going to be a set team again. That or they're gonna start another book for them. Maybe relaunch Uncanny?
The problem is that every mutant is ultimately answerable to the Quiet Council, and even if that were not true, it's how it would be perceived by almost every outside agency.
I mean, yes, but they've accounted for that. Mutants being accountable to mutant laws and not able to be prosecuted by other nations in treatise. They're still Krakoan citizens, the point is they're not in any chain of bureaucracy. If Scott wants to act, then he does. The consequences will be what they are, but nobody is gonna try to stop him from making a run at something. Not to his face at least.
Krakoa kinda needs a group like this too because the Marauders and X-Force are mostly outward facing groups, like their human counterparts.
Thanks!!
Please! It just doesn't feel right without Uncanny.
Holy shit. SHOLY SHIT!
That was quite the conclusion. There were 3 or 4 instances when I had to pick up my jaw from the floor. This event was something else. There are so many possibilities thanks to Arakko's reunion with Krakoa. My brain can't handle it.

Does this mean the same thing happened when she abandoned Arakko and sided with Amenth back in the day?
That's how I read it. Arrako was going to fall so her powers lead her to switch sides to Amenth. And while she may have expedited Arrako's defeat by switching sides, Arrako was already inevitably going to lose.
this ended up being Hickman's best event. Entire thing was based as hell even though a lot of it was silly lollygagging and not as serious in tone as it was set up to be. Saw Apocalypse wearing Annihilation coming from the start like everyone else, but what I didn't expect was Genesis surviving.
it's still hard to believe the X-Men are getting this level of dedication and quality in 2020
is Reign of X a book or an event?

Status quo. Everything we just read, from X-Men #1 all the way through to X of Swords: Destruction was "Dawn of X". Reign is the next part of the overall story.
She's probably moving to Krakoa. I doubt she's an "X-Man" insofar as the X-Men exist. Betting she winds up in Apocalypse's spot on the council.
The more I think about it, the more putting Isca in any position of responsibility seems like a really bad idea.
