I was thinking of all the late 80s, 90's retreads in this issue, this is what I've come up with so far:

Havok vs Cyclops - Inferno & X-tinction Agenda
X-Men get kidnapped - X-tinction Agenda
Bad Guy Reveals new Sentinels - Onslaught/Zero Tolerance
Bad Guy is Reborn in new body after having been thought dead - X-Tinction Agenda,
Psionic Interference/Jamming - X-Cuitioner's Song, Onslaught
Using Powerful Mutants for their power against their will - Days of Future Present, Onslaught, The Twelve

There's got to be more.

I think the similarities to Onslaught are very much intentional.

I wonder if there's an editorial mandate to make Doom the absolute best in any book he's in :swoon:

If there is, I'm sure Doom himself issued it. Natural order of things and so on.

I was making a pun :(

I think so, yeah. Fraction's worst writing is Fear Itself, and while people like Infinity it definitely isn't as good as Hickman is doing right now. Original Sin has like, maybe a third the usual Aaron charm - Aaron is pretty variable to begin with, but I think it definitely falls in his bottom third.

Might be because event books are overladen with edicts, people deciding for you, compromises and lists of what you can't do, making it not much fun to write.
