the fact that goldballs (
) is legit one of the most important mutants alive right now is a testament to the world-building hickman has done for the last 2+ months. gotdamn.
i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the resurrection setup. there's still a heavy price to it, because who you are might be able to live forever, but YOU don't get to. all those folks really fukking died! the reactions of wolvie, nightcrawler, cyclops and xavier at the end of house of x 4 have so much more weight now, and make so much more sense, because of it. they knew this was for real in one sense.
DOPE way to introduce a deus ex machina that still has stakes.
it's also dope because it all ties back to earlier stories. cerebro was actually used this way when jean saved xavier at the end of the cassandra nova arc (even though she was saving the original).
so many questions though.
in one sense, mutants aren't really that much different from machines at this point, no?
for all intents and purposes, this is the beginning of the chimera setup from moira's 9th life. only this time, mutant's leaders (xavier and magneto) are still in place to counteract any sinister fukkery... right? right?!?
speaking of... the fukkery that's about to hit if/when sinister gets his filthy paws on the resurrection setup...
i swear, when magneto said "they should have killed us all when they had the chance"... that whole page felt like some in-his-prime bars from xavier/t-rex, and that line was the "get that nikka rex!" moment from k-shine.
so why did xavier still look so grim after he said it? is it the slightest of hints at potential for cracks in their union??
the tease of x-force's role in all this...
not only did wakanda say "keep your drugs", but they're highlighted in red on the list of potential adversaries... we know what that means. some shyt is on the horizon for mutants and the center of black excellence.
emma really said fukk it and doctored the vote. and xavier cosigned that shyt! i love that cyclop's words in the very first issue, tie directly into what apoc is saying at the end of hox5... mutants aren't accepting the bullshyt anymore. if they've gotta cheat to win the game, fukk it. and xavier has ALWAYS been an egomaniac/scumbag on the low, so again, it makes sense!
krakoa's reaction to seeing apoc da first gawd again...
logan's response to apoc and krakoa...
that logan/magneto/apoc back-and-forth...
the villains have fukking landed...
the last page...
that villains page. They even got Mentallo, Random and Wild Child up in there. 
what book is that? Is that Razorback and The White Rabbit!? wtf
letting her know he knows...and that he has bigger plans going forward 
don't give two damns about becoming a "naturally adversarial nation" to Krakoa 
" and Krakoa giving him a hero's welcome.
everything you said
