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. :)

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.

Also, iWolverine is a great time if you like Larry Hama's oeuvre as I do:

"I intend to bisect them longitudinally!" :black101:

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. :stoked:

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.

I could see it being annoying if you are only getting a couple X-Men books, but the way Empyre has been handled makes me think Hickman learned his lesson from Infinity's bullshit reading order. So hopefully you should be able to only read the books you're already reading.

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.

Like, I can buy him using magnetism to fake all the stuff like removing the Sentinel nano-virus from everyone's blood to pretend like he has healing powers, and maybe the issue where he goes to the Mutant projects and tries to heal the big lizard mutant guy is just him doing deep cover, but I don't get how you reconcile him looking like this knowing what we know:



I feel like I'm being the fat guy who gets mad about rib cage xylophones in Itchy and Scratchy but I think this is a pretty big thing to miss when you're writing a complex story about someone faking an identity.

He injected an army of fireflies with trace amounts of metal so he could make them fly around his head, obviously! :engleft:

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.

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 :blastu: 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,
