My daughter and I enjoyed watching Powerless together. She was 11 so that must have been the target audience.

Yo, if some you guys weren't satisfied with House of X as the bold new direction of the X-Men you thought it might be then check out Powers of X because it is one wild ride.

Hickman’s ability to use the 3-4 panels that makes the first page of a run to hint at like 2 years worth of poo poo compressed story in them is insane.

I really enjoyed the Carol and Kamala team up, especially Carol bullshitting a reason for Kamala to go out superheroing with her,

He was a loveable cute huggy robot.

Then they hooked him up to mutant Twitter.
Ten minutes of that made him want to genocide all mutants.

In a tank that dissolves you into pure data. He’s Nimrod the lesser, so there’s more Nimrods kicking around somewhere, somewhen.

I figured they were the same Nimrod, The Lesser because look at him, he's still a dumb kid, and The Greater because it's been who knows how many years and now he's ascended beyond wanting to genocide all the mutants and has a cute floating drone body

Nimrod is a pretty classic X-Men villain. He's from Claremont's seminal run.

I assumed The Greater was the AI he said he constructed to parse the soup data which was described as in its infancy in X² and was the friendly floating boy in X³

Awesome, you've got years worth of excellent comics before it starts going off the rails.

I hope Hickman's X-Men has a definite conclusion he's building to. Obviously they'll keep making more X-Men comics when he's done, but something like his F4/FF when all the council of Reeds and the death and return of Johnny Storm get resolved where you can tell it was a whole and complete story.

I mean, it's Hickman. I feel like that's a pretty safe bet.

Hickman says he has the ending already, it’s just the middle that can be extended/contracted depending on how long they want him on the X-Men.

After Powers of X can it be for a decade?

I'll admit I was lukewarm on House of X but Powers of X really did what Hickman said it would do and showed it from a whole different angle.

I'll say!

I'm guessing that Simone planned for it to be the culmination of her run on the original ongoing series but the Hickman thing forced some rearrangement, causing the rushed, premature ending of the ongoing and immediate relaunch into a limited series.

She and David Baldeon are announced for Marvel 2000 or whatever that thing is called though, so I have hopes!!!!!!!!
