I like the concept of this:

Will catch up on the rest later but X-Men #7

I'm glad I'm not very attached to the mutant lore/history because I'm loving this fukked up story Hickman is creating I was thinking of skipping the Giant Size issue with Kurt but after this I can't fukking wait to read that shyt

I really enjoyed X-men 7 today the moral questions asked, a lot dread set, and the crucible

 

[Mr. Negative]

X-Force: Is that.... Bastion?

X-Men: Yeah, cool issue. I was wondering what they'd do with/about depowered mutants. That last statement... yeah, Kurt. Not a good idea.

Suicide Squad: This is what a Suicide Squad book is supposed to feel like. Twists, turns, deaths, paranoia, plotting.

Star: I don't want this to be a "She's Learning to be a Hero" book. I've said it a million times... why don't they just do a flat out villain book!? Why not a whole line? Marvel Dark or some shyt. You could have whole storylines leading up to minor crossovers with hero books Hell, the villain can still lose. Imagine if we saw Doom doing shyt leading up to stuff like Unthinkable or Secret Wars. Typing that made me realize we kinda get that with Thanos, but 3/4 of it is always critically/fan acclaimed and retconned

Monstress: This was my defacto favorite book at one point. I'm letting it build up 12 issues to binge it. If you go back to my first posts in this thread, I was lauding Monstress. It's a beautiful, helluva book.

Giant Size X-Men: It's Hickman paying homage to Morrison.

So I guess the will thing leads into the whole chimera thing
Kurt needs to chill out

FF/X-men 2

Spoiler

Doom Sentiels

That's why he wants Franklin

Gotta say, Reed's plan infiltrating Krakoa was really shytty. Too bad Zdarsky doesn't seem to know about Black Tom Cassidy's role on the island, that poor breh got another huge breach on his belt but if Chip doesn't know him I guess this L isn't gonna count against Black Tom

Man, I wonder what that moment meant shyt was so quick in the panel I had to look twice.

 

[Jello Biafra]

X-Men: Yeah, cool issue. I was wondering what they'd do with/about depowered mutants. That last statement... yeah, Kurt. Not a good idea.

How an island full of so many intelligent people could think that allowing Apocalypse to set up a gladiator arena to be the process for mutants de-powered by Scarlet Witch to be reborn with their powers is mindboggling to me. And Kurt is too late with the idea of starting a mutant religion because if Melody Guthrie's reaction is what all the reborn de-powered mutants react like then Apocalypse has already started one with himself as the messiah.
And Exodus is indoctrinating the children of Krakoa...what maniac thought letting Exodus have free and private access to mutant kids was a good thing?

Suicide Squad: This is what a Suicide Squad book is supposed to feel like. Twists, turns, deaths, paranoia, plotting.

This issue officially has me hooked on this book. The new characters weren't clicking fully for me until this issue.

Giant Size X-Men: It's Hickman paying homage to Morrison.

I got what Hickman was going for and the art was very pretty but overall my feelings toward this book was just

Every decision Xavier and Magneto have made on Krakoa has been a head scratcher and allowing people like Exodus and Apocalypse to have such positions of reverence is one of the many.

And also them just letting an obviously mentally ill Doug Ramsey be the one person with real contact with Krakoa isn't smart either.

I know most people are taking The X-Men's side in this beef because they are more popular than the FF and Reed Richards is a massive dikkhead, but Sue has had the moral highground in both issues of this series and really can't be blamed for going HAM on Scott and them with the way they talk about Franklin as if his being mutant gives them an equal or greater claim to the kid than his mom.

This is the first and only time anyone has made me actually like Swarm as a character. Zeb Wells gets massive props for that.

yeah, it's all puzzling. you'd swear somebody was controlling krakoa through Charles for their own ends. The ones benefiting the most from Krakoa's existence are really humans and former mutant villains

This issue officially has me hooked on this book. The new characters weren't clicking fully for me until this issue.

I'd read a Revolutionaries book. We both know Tom gonna kill them all, though

 

[WhenWeWereKings]

Sebastian Shaw was great in New Mutants. He's really been underrated during this relaunch.

X-Men was .

The past few issues Hickman was really addressed some of my gripes. (Mystique questioning the lack of Destiny resurrection, a less robotic cyclops)

All of the X books were good this week.
