I always assumed Wolverine killed all her original students. Is Empath one of the ones he killed?Empath was one of Emma's original students, the Hellions. This was back when she was still a villain.

Trevor Fitroy killed Emma's students. Wolverine had nothing to do with it.I always assumed Wolverine killed all her original students. Is Empath one of the ones he killed?
Ok I think I am getting the Hellions mixed up with the Hellfire club's Guards. I need to do a deep diveTrevor Fitroy killed Emma's students. Wolverine had nothing to do with it.
If he had, Emma would never forgive him as her students' death was one of the driving forces of her changing sides.
Yeah the Hellfire Guards Wolverine took a part pretty handedly. A few of them even got cyborged up and became part of the Reavers.Ok I think I am getting the Hellions mixed up with the Hellfire club's Guards. I need to do a deep dive
Yup! I always forget the Nova Roma stuff happens after she was a Hellion.Magma was also a Hellion for a bit until she got lost in the Amazon or something
Completely indistinguishable from Dark Beast at this point and proud of it.

Beast is his own Morty.Have they picked one of the New Mutants to be Beast's Morty yet?
I thought that page was superb. Hank's increasing paranoia about others doing to him as he's done unto others is *chef kiss* for me, right down to his concerns about others tampering with his potential resurrection (as he did to Omega Red, having Charles push The Five to act according to his request when they objected to Hank's request, they had wanted to find more humane means to Hank's objective.)I saw a page on twitter where Beast is completely aware of what a cunt he is and seemed quite proud of it lol
Yup, I was actually expecting that during the Gala, she's been scheming for a while.Completely speculative but I have a feel Emma might take over krakoa after Inferno. Re-reading Dawn and Power of X and a few other books and she is on the same level as Xavier and Magneto as a leader and doesn't have nearly as much baggage and secret evil plots.
X-MEN UNLIMITED is at the forefront of Infinity Comics, a new ongoing series that will follow the rotating adventures of Krakoa's mutants. While Wolverine and his battle against A.I.M. kicks off the first arc, expect many more guest-stars, including prominent X-Men, in weekly chapters to come. "When [series editor] Jordan White contacted me about this project, I could see the potential to experiment with how to tell a story and that was very intriguing," says series artist Shalvey. "By coloring and arranging the vertical flow of the panels, it's offered a level of innovation and control I hadn't previously experienced, which has been both uniquely challenging and satisfying." "Of course, to get to work on an X-Men title has been a dream too. I'm a huge X-fan and have very much been admiring what Jon and the X-crew have been doing. Getting to work with Jon was also very appealing… the one thing I knew going in was that working on a project like this was going to push me as a storyteller and that definitely turned out to be true." "Declan and I were pretty obsessive about stressing what we can do within the [Infinity] format and we think X-fans will be happy with the result," promises series writer Hickman. "Ask anyone and they'll tell you that I'm always up for trying out new ways to make stories, and this turned out to be a very interesting format."
I'll put it this way - if Xavier and/or Magneto are taken out of the picture, Emma would my number one pick to fill the vacuum.Completely speculative but I have a feel Emma might take over krakoa after Inferno.

I agree fully. Just her approach to Shaw, Beast, and Sinister shows she is way more in touch with the realities of Krakoa than Charles and Erik. They've been caught up with their own ghosts and secret plots and let some of the biggest monsters run wild. She also ran the Gala and Murader distribution which are all major political successes.I'll put it this way - if Xavier and/or Magneto are taken out of the picture, Emma would my number one pick to fill the vacuum.
Almost feels inevitable, when I think it over. Emma schemes and Has Plans but she is also direct and free of much of the existential angst that drives - and sabotages - Charles and Erik.
Emma wants the basics. Personal autonomy, stability, resources, and to her credit - she actually does care about the children and their future.
And unlike the other two who so often seem preoccupied, Emma is usually three steps ahead of anyone who poses the slightest threat to her reign and will pre-emptively fuck them right into the sun.
She seems like the perfect steward for a mutant nation.
Hickman likes to play it patient with the way he writes but it's easy to stick with it because he usually spaces out regular big moments and big reveals at good intervals. You get the feeling it's always going somewhere and even the slow stuff is still well written.So on Reddit someone posted a question posing people's pros/cons to the Hickman era as it winds down and it got me thinking some:
Initially I was hella hyped and way into what was being laid out, but now close to two years later I don't know if things really ended up as great as we all hoped. There's definitely some really great moments and threads in there, but the entire sum of all things Hickman is leaving a little disappointed? For what it's worth i felt this way after reading Secret Wars too and how it eventually ended.
The momentum coming off of HOX/POX was immense but it tapered off once this became the status quo and not an ongoing, evolving situation. More and more dud stories/books kept sneaking in as it went along too but that feels inevitable. I still had a lot of fun with stuff like Hickman's initial X Men book, X Factor, Way of X, Maruaders and X Force though. I can't say I'm took disappointed, it just didn't go the way I would have taken it.So on Reddit someone posted a question posing people's pros/cons to the Hickman era as it winds down and it got me thinking some:

I feel that overall since X of Swords ended a lot of momentum has stopped. The Gala storyline and Wanda's "death" have been interesting for sure-but overall I feel that a lot of the books are just kind of directionless with no momentum. X-Force, Wolverine and Maruaders lately just feel like they are treading water.So on Reddit someone posted a question posing people's pros/cons to the Hickman era as it winds down and it got me thinking some:

Definitely on New Mutants. The Farouk thing has gone on way too long imo. This book hasn't hit its stride yet.Marauders is frustrating after the start
New Mutants feels like it's spinning wheels
Ah that infamous period of time where the editorial line was that Cyclops had done something horrible but they couldn't decide what horrible thing he'd done. And when they eventually did that story, the terrible thing was revealed to be destroying a poison gas cloud which only killed minorities. Which in hindsight makes every character who slammed Cylcops a total monster.Considering the previous quality of X-men comics yeah this is great, you have a lot of series doing stuff I want them to do.
I want the New Mutants to be about teaching the next generation of Mutants. I want Hellions to be about people recovering from trauma. I want the X-men to be about the X-men helping people.
I dont want to see the mutants under constant threat from extinction, I dont want to see X-men vs Fantastic Four, New Mutants vs the Young Avengers. I dont want to see marvel heroes come off like they actually despise a minority group, like the time that they started to compare Cyclops to Hitler.
It's like they're hinting at it but are not really saying anything. Looking a little ahead it would appear that a shake up is definitely happening.Has there been any indication if they are resetting the whole X-line or just canceling books to reshuffle characters?
Sword just started.
Did we get confirmation that X Lives/Deaths of Wolvie is weekly? Are they doing the same thing as Hox/Pox and then relaunching everything?
