I really liked both Marauders and Excalibur, but I'm a bit lukewarm on X-Men, surprisingly enough. Still, it looks like this new crop of X-books is going to be really good. It feels good to have X-Men at the top of the game again.

Metalshark posted:On top of the excellent X-books mentioned in the above two posts, I am really enjoying how Hellions is Zeb Wells taking the grimness of his New Mutants arc in Limbo and cranking up the horror even further to get near to "Immortal Hulk, but magical". It's so fun, and gross, and interesting, and I'm enjoying the terrible team. Hellions is so dang good. I don't think I will pick up all issues of X of Swords, since keeping up with events as they're happening tends to not be worth the effort, but I can't wait to read it in trade format.

Skwirl posted:I'm already buying all the books it's going to involve, not getting all of it would really just mean not picking up the three stand alone issues. Even if I don't plan on getting them, I do appreciate that all the relevant issues will have "PART [X] OF 12" printed on the cover. I think that's better than having the little checklist at the end of every issue.

Folks, I'm here to tell you that I only just realised that X of Swords is supposed to be pronounced "Ten of Swords" and not "Cross of Swords" as I originally thought. That is all. Carry on!

Has anyone else read the new Cable? I'm kind of bummed out that the very first issue is tied into a crossover event, but I still liked it. I think the idea of having a trucker tattoo serve as an AI assistant is really inspired. And the story being about history's biggest to kill Dormammu with owns as well. I'm a little mixed on the character art, but all the space ships and robots looked incredible. In short, Gologle posted:Man I fuckin' love comic books you guys
