havent read Way of X but I'm about to
I really came in here to say X-Force got some of the worst art I've ever seen.

What they did to Cortez was cold-blooded.S.W.O.R.D. continues to be
I hope it doesn't get cancelled soon
This does make me start contemplating just what would happen if all the mutants on Krakoa who are treated like shyt were to click up and start plotting their revenge.
And that same situation applies to Brand playing puppet master with galactic empires too.
I couldn't get past the first 3 pages. That shyt was grotesque.havent read Way of X but I'm about to

I mean, fukk Fabian Cortez
But yeah, the thing about Krakoa is they can't have it both ways. You can't expect every "evil" mutant to change who they are and you can't expect to build a new nation having "evil" mutants doing evil things in public (Sinister is supposedly doing shyt behind's everyone's back and a dude like Shaw already learned his lesson the hard way).
It makes sense Mystique, Fabian and others end up working together to fukk everything up because they didn't get what they wanted. We all knew this Krakoan Era is not gonna end nicely since House of X #1
Anyways, I really liked Ewing is actually using Arakko too.
X-Force getting the axe
Makes sense, Percy's book are by far the most expendable of the bunch along with New Mutants and (post XoS) Excalibur. But at least New Mutants became a really good book eventually.
S.W.O.R.D. is switching artists though. Schitti is gonna be drawing a new book and someone else is going to continue with Ewing. I hope it's someone worth a damn

speaking of SWORD, it's funny seeing the SnarkWar being treated as a major threat, being that the rest of the universe is in disarray and rebuilding. after too many "Events".
Zn'rx (Snarks) are POWER PACK villains.
I kinda feel like Marvel would be fukked if Dire Wraiths were still around. But I noted early on how lore from the old ROM comics (space knights, Galador, etc) were used in the Cable comics, but ROM was being used by another company.
I'm guessing the Snark shyt is a replacement for a Galador(kinda lame now that I'm grown, the whole story was created mainly to sell toys)/Dire Wraith (will never be not cool) cosmic Event.
edit: Dire Wraiths? Imagine you took Brood, added Skrull shapeshifting, Dalek mentality and Doctor Strange magic and threw it all in a blender.

It would be great if they did some YA OGNs for Super Sons (but actually do it right this time), or say there's another Earth in the re-solidified multiverse where Jonathan never got aged up (and maybe Alfred never died) and do more Super Sons over there. Then we could get all that stuff as if the original series was never canceled.
They're not de-aging Jonathan any time soon, and these weird minis they keep doing are fun, but ultimately useless filler.

X-Factor is the one that needs to be canceled if anything.
shyt is boring AF, but I keep buying it for some reason.
can't believe Im itching to read Superman
I've been saying, Philip Kennedy Johnson is legit doing good work on the Superman books right now.
He's actually making aged-up Jonathan likable and interesting.

The Dire Wraiths legalities are weird.
Hasbro owns the Dire Wraith name but Marvel owns the Dire Wraith appearance which is why the Dire Wraiths in the Rom books at IDW look like this:
Instead of the infinitely more interesting looking Dire Wraiths from Marvel:
Just Kurt's simple "Ach. The polite fictions of telepaths."
Such a dope comic both completely of a world and questioning that world that Nightcrawler is the all too perfect avatar. Loved it.

this are both points that i came away with from sword and way. and add
legion
also, does anyone find it funny that noone calls max on his holocaust victim shyt when his hands are among the dirtiest on the island? i wish someone would call him out for that shyt
and it looks like kurt might be the one to fix this pretender stuff. cuz hes gonna have to pull this society out of max and exodus' hands

I have never seen anyone push back on Magneto when he starts using his past as justification or cover for whatever he has done or plans on doing.
I think it would have to be someone who hasn't been down with Xavier and them for a long time to do it because all of The X-folk seem to have moved past Magneto's past for the most part. Or one of the villains on Krakoa.
Nightwing had been solid.

Wasn't Hill House the DC Horror imprint?
