People are saying the big figure in the back isn’t Havok but the Living Monolith. I’m still waiting for the return of Unus the Untouchable

Weren't one of those future X-Men sucked into a black hole, which are explicitly stated to be basically portals to outside space/time where the real Phalanx live? And since you're outside time you can go anywhere in time from there, which is why 6th Moira had to die before future blue people could ascend to Phalanx status, since they could just send robots into the timestream afterward to prevent her from ruining their plan. But wait, since they would be outside of time anyway and unaffected by whatever Moira does, why would they send assassins to prevent Moira from loving things up? HEY WAIT A MINUTE HICKMAN, I JUST FOUND A PLOT HOLE.

Excalibur feels like it's still laying more pieces down, but I'm still interested so that's okay, at least for now. Marauders was good even with a distressing lack of Marauder-ing in it.

I loved Marauders, easily my favorite book of the relaunch. I can't believe they made me care about Sebastian Shaw of all characters. X-men was weird. I'm not sure I like the new villains. Hope it gets better next issue. And I dropped Excalibur, i'm just not into magic or arthurian stories.

X-Men was a riot, in my opinion, but I can see why some folks may not be up for it. Weirdness is a plus in this case, since it's a new type of threat for mutants.

Excalibur is still holding me, the characters in it are good enough for me to stay a while. Xmen was weird but sure why not, and marauders continues being awesome. What's the brief story of shinobi shaw? It looks like a phased hand killed him? I know I've never read anything with him in it but that's all.

Shinobi Shaw (who can control his density to phase or become super solid) was originally an Upstart and got points for killing his father and then tried to off X-Force but that didn't go so well. He more or less went into hiding for a while until he was killed by Shaw during Necrosha for reasons that escape me right now but was brought back to life by Selene later on. Then he re-joined the Upstarts, but killed himself when he found out they were actually working for his dad. The weird dents in his skull Sebastian remembers are from Shinobi phasing his own hand into his head. He's also bisexual, apparently.

I always liked the little un-nibbled plot hook that Shinobi's powers are very very similar to Hellfire Club member Harry Leland and not particularly similar to Sebastian's, given the little scraps we know about mutant powers and heredity. I know it explicitly comes up at least once as something Shinobi's thought about but I guess Sebastian is either unaware or doesn't care.

Yeah, he teases Sebastian about it right before he killed him. (I honestly can't remember how Sebastian came back.)

I find it a little funny that the X-men have been making such a big deal about how important it is that they're mutants and different, while the x-books spend all their time showing how that doesn't matter in a world where people can modify their own genes and superscience themselves up whatever gadgets they want. Which, come to think of it, might be the main point.

That seemed to be the main point of the first half of HoXPoX but then it seemed to move into other things like how Goldballs is God or something.

Was anyone else getting a Golden Girls vibe from X-Men #3? Also in Marauders, was Shaw's dry mouth comment referring to him lusting after his naked son, or am I just perverted for assuming that?

edit: ^natch
The only thing that would make Hordeculture better was if they are never referenced again in the X-books. It is a little odd that the eco-terrorist Golden Girls have hid so well under the superhero radar all this time and immediately monologue their plan to murder 7 billion people at the conclusion of a successful escape.

Nanny has a fantastic design, especially under a fairly restrained penciler where the weirdness of it pops out as super eerie. I always found Bill Jaska's Nanny from Uncanny #265 super unnerving.OnimaruXLR posted:Wait, wasn't Nanny the robot that looked after de-aged Magneto? At first I assumed both were connected or one was a revamp of the other but I misremembered. It's also apparently not a Claremont thing about de-aging, since the second Nanny was initially a villain in Louise Simonson's X-Factor.

I think I'm gonna drop X-Men until further notice. This series seems to have all the markings of the worst parts of Hickman's Avengers. 1) Some strange and inexplicable new problem happens! 2) The heroes flail ineffectually at the problem despite blabbing on end about how cool they are! 3) Nothing is solved, heroes are defeated. 4) Repeat for next issue And Krakoa is experiencing the exact. Same. Problem. As every other X-HQ at in every other X-relaunch: enemies can apparently just walk in and kill everyone with minimal effort despite it being established for issues on end that, no for real, this time the mutant homeland is actually impenetrably safe! It just makes the X-Men seem dumb for buying into the snake oil, and I'm not usually super interested in reading about a bunch of dumb people being dumb. Usually.

I liked how how weirdly casual the affair in X-Men #3 was, despite the stakes being set up. 99% of the time this kinda stuff would be handled as "THE BIGGEST THREAT EVER FACED" but nah dog, it's just a problem to be solved.
