Me neither, but they somehow think this'll lead to her being in the MCU with the same actress from that. It's weird.
Honestly it's the artwork that turns me off. Every character has that wacky look to their face and I can't take it. Every character is always making faces like this:
It's too cartoony for me
Same. I dropped it after the first issue because I couldn't stand the art.
I'm not surprised. I was prepared for disappointment when I saw the the vote abs Polaris trending together on Twitter.
Yup, I like X-Factor but the art is a turnoff. They keep making that same dumb shocked face or smiling at inappropriate times. Like, I don't need edgelord art, but can you tone down the X-men Evolution faces and body proportions please?Honestly it's the artwork that turns me off.

First this and now Brett Booth. Marvel better not let Greg Land back into the X-Men books.
... No? Where on earth did you get that idea. And Jean definitely has a physical relationship with Wolverine at this point. That's an open (or semi open) relationship.
So I'm late to the party on X of Swords, if I want to catch up on that is there a collected version of it yet or if not what series/issues do I need to look into?
Baldeon's art is fantastic you philistines.
i'll have to find the issue. scott & lorna were walking alone together, and it was very flirty
jean & logan were banging in a panel in x-force, and scott & emma are together too - it's all open, for sure but still could lea to drama

Yea i stopped buying it mainly because I can't stand the faces they make. I'll get around to reading it on unlimited way later.
Honestly they should have left any character with a major role in a different book off the poll if it meant taking them out of their previous book.
Parts 1 through 10 are also up on Marvel Unlimited. They seem to be only doing a three month delay now.
As others have mentioned, polaris being pulled off X factor for this book isn't really a great thing, and it's been made clear that's what will happen.
The second issue is more of a personal thing for me- Sam is married with a child and "settled down" in Shi'ar space. It kind of feels like his story is "done" at least in the sense that he shouldn't really be a core member of a team book anymore.
Occasional appearances sure. Full time resident member? Nah. Let the dude have his happy ending.
Yeah I am glad Sam is sitting in 9th because of that. Cannonball and Polaris are the two that I really don't want to win.
I'm happy with the art on pretty much all of the books (save the new addition of Booth). I'm not a big Leniel Yu fan these days, but I sure loved him when he started on Wolverine 8 million years ago.
The real revelation for me has been Rod Reis, particularly when he gets a little tiny bit Sienkewicz-y. Noto has been doing a great job on Cable, as well... really understated but excellent.

It was extremely early on- like X-Men #1 or something. Don't remember them interacting since.
That? It's the exact opposite of flirty. Scott invites Lorna to come for a visit home with him and his family (to the Summers house on the blue area of the moon), explicitly pointing out that Alex Summers will be there. Alex, who Lorna had a relationship with forever that ended on weird terms.
Lorna declines, for obvious reasons.
Scott spends the rest of that conversation talking about how awesome and terrifying being a father is. edit: Amusingly, at no point does Scott even make eye contact or turn around to face Lorna during that conversation. He spends the entire thing walking several paces ahead of her and talking more "at" her than "to" her.
I don't know how you get "they're sleeping together" out of that.

Why did they even put Polaris on the poll if it meant taking her off another book that's just getting started? And they had to know she's the most well known of them.
Seems like a CONSPIRACY to me.

Wait, why? I'm no X-book expert, but I loved the art of the most recent X-Men issue. It reminded me of the early 90's look.
I missed this earlier.
Hickman already said we were going to see the costumes from every era of X-Books as it's now treated as mutant fashion instead of super hero costumes.
The versions we saw in the issue were also my favorite looks from that Era of X-Factor. At least Cyke was wearing a hood.

That's why. Brett Booth is a 90s artist who never improved his style. As opposed to someone like Greg Capullo who is always striving to hone his skill.
Brett has been doing a ton of DC stuff and I'm just tired of him. He's been doing Flash forever and The Flash always has the same running pose with abnormally long legs.
Also he's a real asshole and the people who write about the comics for Xavier Files announced they will stop writing about X-Men as long as Booth is on the the title.

Ooooooook, I've added him to my "trash" file. Thank you for the heads up.
Had no idea of any of the stuff concerning the guy's character, but yeah the most recent issue of X-men looks like dogshit.
Those were weird days for youngling Mr Poolman.Still want to see Cannonball regardless of his family.
speaking of quitting a book over cartoony art, I still havent forgiven Brett Blevins for ruining the OG New Mutants.
So right after HoX/PoX I fell off cause my device took a beating. Now I'm gonna go hard back into it with Dawn of X, and I hear Swords of X finished too. I'm just really afraid that there'll be a bunch of stuff along the way I either won't understand, or stuff that'll fly over my head. Can't lie, I'm intimidated. Although HoX/PoX is one of the best graphic novel stories I've ever read so I'm real excited!
Also, I voted for Marrow for the new team cause I got nostalgia for her. Sorry Polaris, but you've taken the spot my fave mutant The Pretender used to have.

If I had to pick one must read outside of the highlighted Swords issues, and this is entirely my opinion, it's Marauders. After that I think Excalibur is worth it as it has a bunch of scene setting for the event. Hellions for the absolutely hilarious Sinister writing.
Honestly they've all been good (I don't have Wolverine or Cable so can't speak to those).
Fallen Angels we just don't speak of.
I'm just gonna read through it all. I'm almost done with Vol. 1, so far Marauders and Excalibur have been real good. X-Men and The New Mutants to a lesser extent. But I'm only on issue #1 of each of them. Next up for me is X-Force and Fallen Angels. I might read one volume a night and catch up that way.
I'm not entirely sure if I like the whole Krakoa mutant nation-state status quo, or if I prefer the classic way of having mutants live among humans. It's an interesting evolution nonetheless.

If you are just trying to catch up with the essentials X-Men, Excalibur and Hellions are the most important until you get to X of a Swords.
However I would highly recommend Marauders, Cable, New Mutants, X-Force as well.
Wolverine is good as well but less important and hit and miss for most people.
I personally love X-Factor but I know the art work is a turn off for many.

Please just skip Fallen Angels, please. I'm telling you it's not worth it. It's universally loathed and hated.
Fallen Angels had potential but the writing fell off the wall, and the writer really didn't understand many of the characters he used.
Interesting.
I really do feel bummed that I missed out on all the discussions by not being able to read Dawn of X and Swords of X when those events happened.
agreed.
Also speaking of X-Factor, this is one of the funniest bits of a cape book I've read all year.
I think it's because he finally got his career in Hollywood and then just stopped caring and phoned in enough to satisfy his contract.
First issue of Fallen Angels was interesting. Getting some background stuff on Psylocke and how she's back from being possessed by Betty. I like that she can't rest with peace and needs a purpose. Looking forward to where it's going with her baby and such, but of course I'm wary with all the bad impressions for this series. I enjoyed all of them to some degree. Marauders, Excalibur and X-Force most; it's good to have Domino here.
Onto Dawn of X Vol. 2 tonight!
