Why is he speaking like that to a tablet? 🤣agreed.
Also speaking of X-Factor, this is one of the funniest bits of a cape book I've read all year.

New X-books are still coming out. Certain ones are just skipping certain months to get things lined up.
So do I just read Dawn of X up till Vol. 15, then the Swords of X and then the books that's coming out now, and then the Hellfire Gala?
Dawn of X volume 16, then X of Swords, then the current post X of Swords issues which will probably be collected as either Dawn of X Volume 17+ or Reign of X Volume 1+ etc. Hellfire Gala will probably be a small event in the Summer.
Oh, gotcha! Big help. So Reign of X is what's currently going on. I'll read up to Vol. 16, then do Swords of X.
Hellions was good today.
Loved seeing the surprise villain at the end, always loved his goofy shennanigans.
Also Nanny-Pete interaction is fun as well.
Good issue.
I wasn't aware there was going to be a King in Black: Marauder tie-in.... grumble....

It's like the Empyre: X-Men tie-in - it's very much "the Marauders have an adventure while King in Black just happens to be going on in the background".
I would say that this is one of the best Marauders issues in the entire run. It's certainly the first time the series fulfilled the "swashbuckling mutant adventure" promise of the first issue, before it got bogged down in politics and power-dampening rays.
That was a lot of fun. I really enjoy Northstar. X-Factor on the whole has been more enjoyable than I would have guessed. I keep thinking "why am I buying all of these books," but the reality is that they've all been pretty enjoyable for different reasons.
Seriously! X-Factor was incredible today. David + Tommy! Tommy + Northstar! Aurora + Daken! That cliffhanger! This book wasn't something I was that interested in when it was announced and now it's the first thing I read each week it comes out.

I absolutely agree. It was great and I was surprised that Magneto made the decision that he did. There's some current real world politics in there with America accepting refugees seeking asylum that I felt was particularly relevant.
X-Factor still ain't doing it for me. I wish I liked it like you guys are.
Wolverine is also fighting for the Phoenix in Avengers right now, but it's Aaron's Avengers so it's kind of bad
X of Swords was odd. It was definitely not what I was expecting, and I both enjoyed that but was also let down in certain areas. I think overall I'd say it was better than not.
Tbh nothing has really quite topped HoX/PoX for me yet. I get that those plot points are going to be a sloooooow burn, as Hickman is envisioning a multi-years-long run, but I also kinda wished he started returning more to that material a little faster.
X of Swords took a swerve I don't think many were expecting. Was kind of hoping for something different, but I overall still enjoyed it a lot.
You get to X of Swords expecting a Dragon Ball tournament, instead you get a Mario Party tournament.
Enjoy the craziness.
Enjoy the craziness.
Wolverine has been acting out of character for 10, 15 years now. Or more.
Marvel has run him to the ground. No one knows what to do with him anymore. Even writers that care about the character like Aaron.
His run on his solo title was ok but completely inconsequential. No one remembers about it anymore. His run on Wolverine and the X-men was much better but cut short.
Honestly Wolverine should have stayed dead. They should have focused on X-23, Honey Badger and Daken.
I think X of Swords was a success in the sense that it showed they were able to steer all the creative teams to work on a single story that moved the X-Men "metaplot forward".
As an event it could have used some trimming here and there but it went to places readers did not expect from the initial premise.

I do like that we're able to be all "Yeah it was pretty good" about a Marvel event instead of "It was fucking trash and it made me actively angry." like most Marvel events
While I do think the cracks are starting to show, the fact Doom is the one calling them out is pretty hilarious. 🤔
Please put some respect on Doombot's name. He was an Avenger you know
So much this. Not that I don't enjoy Mario Party. But it kinda felt like a bait and switch. But it went back to DB tournament levels of badassery near the end so I forgive it. That Larraz art with all those beautiful spreads is a chef's kiss every time.
Beginning and end were definitely great with some weird ass hell moments in the middle.
But lets not lover look Death & Storm. What a beautiful little story within the story
There were lots of golden moments. Storm v Death and Gorgon v White Sword are probably my favorite matchups. Nothing less than epic.
Love at the first misunderstanding. That was fun. So were Gorgon and Magik's antics.
It was great. A lot of fun and some spectacular art. Some small missteps here and there and some pacing issues but that's bound to happen when you have 8 writers on a single event. And it had an actually well executed "Nothing will ever be the same"

I genuinely want this. Curious how well he'd do a hero that deals with smaller scales.
I'm more excited for that Dark Riders team than I thought I'd be. The idea of an X-Men team composed of mostly the more monstrous mutants is one I like.
Also in May... HE'S BACK.

Excalibur was not my favorite today, but I'm glad the story is moving forward.
SWORD was fantastic, as someone who loves Eden since his Secret Warriors days, it came to a shock the reveal that he is not a teleporter at all, yet it makes so much sense. Loved this one.
X-Force, you mean that Quentin Quire is not a total ass??? now that is interesting.
