I love that Storm design, but I do wish if they were going back to a version of the punk look with the mohawk they shaved the sides of her head.

Awkward panel layout and flow, but I lack the vocab to fully explain why I think so. That pinup is a static panel that looks like he drew each individual at a slightly different scale and awkwardly photoshopped them altogether. I do not understand the appeal of his work at all, which doesn't even look cool to make up for the lack of composition/action/story-telling skills.

It's very odd to me that the thing is called Destiny of X and you... don't put Destiny in the front? Have her and Mystique embracing where Charles is and he and Magneto can flank them.

Bendis and Hickman let him do whatever, and it shows.

Ending of Marauders was amazing, really sad to see this book go. I wonder if there will ever be another book that makes me care about Greycrow or Orphanmaker as much. Inferno also great, really what I wanted more of after HOX (but I did enjoy all the inbetween time). Very great seeing Destiny/Emma interactions too.

Raven is such a massive bitch, you get revealed that all those time(s?) you went after Moira poo poo goes bad for Mutanity, granted every time goes bad for Mutanity, so lets just lop off an arm to send a message??? To what end? Also Doug having enough foresight to have back channel comms to Krakoa so he knows he's not getting the wool pulled over his eyes was pretty loving great.

Jiro posted:Seriously what the loving gently caress. Pretty sure they don't intend to stop at taking her arm. That was just to throw off Magneto's tracking. More interesting is the fact that Krakoa actually works. It works so drat well they're stomping out Dominions. Of course, future Karima's presence now jeopardizes that.

drat, am I hyped for Gillen returning to the X-books. He did amazing work on his original run given how much of it had to tie into event books he wasn't writing (Schism, Fear Itself, and especially AvX), and I've always wondered what he could have done had he been given a freer hand by editorial; maybe now we'll get to find out https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/1468643182950985730

Maybe I'm leaping to conclusions with Inferno but the way that Doug, Warlock, and Krakoa have just casually undermined all of Moira, Chuck, and Magneto's scheming, plus Omega Sentinel basically being Machine-Moira points me towards a "mutant-machine co-existence" type ending, or at least a significant postponement of hostilities. Mass Effect vibes. Hellions had a good ending, but I really hoping someone would bring up the part where sending out children (be they teenagers or just developmentally arrested) as part of paramilitary teams is a bad idea. But then again I guess that's just mutant culture!

Mass Effect vibes. When Omega was telling her story, she mentioned the "Trickster Titan - betrayer and coward of its brother and sister machines." That's Warlock, right? Warlock gonna get big like Doug's wife! But I think that's the conclusion in her future: Warlock-Doug-Krakoa broker into a mutant-machine alliance and that's where things go bad for humanity and the Dominions. I do like the involvement of the Children of the Vault, tying those drat good X-Men issues in. Also, I wouldn't say Omega is machine-moira. They're more like Machine-Kate-Pryde from DOFP. She's just a time traveller, not a multiverse destroyer. But I think I'm fully in the boat of "this mini series should have been 8-10 issues." HoXPoX worked because it allowed Hickman his space to really explain the cool ideas he has (this issue's example is the Doug reveal, which could have been just a page but Hickman absolutely needs to explain every step to get there) while ramping up the big moments. There's a LOT in this issue, compared to the last one, which makes the pacing feel weird. Maybe a reread once it's done and whole might change that opinion but this felt a bit rushed, in my opinion. Still, cool poo poo- even if things like the Omega Sentinel stuff is out of the blue.

I hadn't thought that Warlock would be a "Trickster Titan" that's an interesting wrinkle. But then again if it was Warlock doing that, wouldn't that mean he's effectively loving over everyone? And future Omega Sentinel is just some weird future mega racist cyborg? Or am I interpreting that wrong? This being wants that future where humanity gets absorbed into the mega structures of the Phalanx Gods right?

Yeah if my reading is right, it would certainly mean that there's an alliance shift there, assuming the time travel thing was intended to... work. Maybe Trickster Titans just like sending people back in time to see what happens? I think this Omega is the same as the 616 (Karima Shapandar) version just from a different timeline and that Omega Sentinel wasn't racist but a sleeper-cell type Sentinel created by Bastion to murder tertiary x-characters. There's a big interesting wrinkle in her line that she develops in her future in 2 years from the story right now. But the timeline doesn't show that. It shows her getting made pre-OG Nimrod (the one from the Claremont run I assume). Unless the timelines are purposely offset but that's pretty loving bad info design from info design lovers.
