So much is to be said about this short yet game-changing story, but I'll keep it short, too. First off, Donny Cates was a steal for Marvel, and it shows when he goes 100% into whatever he's writing. This is a prime example, as it ties in to his biggest contributions to Marvel history from his runs of Venom and Thanos (and probably Thor too when he writes that), but the addition of Tradd Moore on a So much is to be said about this short yet game-changing story, but I'll keep it short, too.

This is one of the smartest comics I've ever read.

This series is already revolutionizing X-Men (again), and perhaps the Marvel Universe as a whole, but that is a given at this point.

What must be acclaimed the most about Hickman's masterful epic is his ability to make us question what we thought we knew about sci-fi elements such as artificial intelligence, dystopian futures, alternate realities/universes, time travel, cloning, resurr This series is already revolutionizing X-Men (again), and perhaps the Marvel Universe as a whole, but that is a given at this point.

If you ever feel like getting a trade that is kinda set in the middle of a bigger story, make sure it's this one. I want to recommend the whole series to everyone, even people that don't read comics, but for those who don't want to read 15 comics, these 5 will do, as this is so far the peak moment of Al Ewing's masterful run.

While it's going to be difficult to top House of X #2 in terms of surprises, this is definitely the biigest game-changer so far. While other issues have been jumping back and forth between four timelines, this one stays a hundred years in the future throughout the issue with the remaining X-Men as they infiltrate Nimrod's base. Staying this focused gives us our most emotionally gripping (as well a While it's going to be difficult to top House of X #2 in terms of surprises, this is definitely the biigest game-changer so far.

To say the least, just as Hickman and others promised, this issue is one that will be talked about for years to come. I didn't expect I would enjoy this series as much as I have so far. Honestly, I feel like the lack of truly engaging/interesting X-stories in the past few years has made me lose interest in that side of Marvel, to the point that I wasn't expecting this to get me to love X-Men again To say the least, just as Hickman and others promised, this issue is one that will be talked about for years to come.

When someone who doesn't read comics says they're "for kids", you show them Immortal Hulk.

The thing with Ta-Nehisi Coates that I assumed was a one-time thing with Black Panther, but isn't the case because it applies here too, is that, while he creates interesting stories, he seems to have an issue with being vague about his ultimate goal. Yes, it creates a mystery, and ultimately, a hook, but it's somewhat irritating that each issue seems to repeat the same narrative as the one before The thing with Ta-Nehisi Coates that I assumed was a one-time thing with Black Panther, but isn't the case because it applies here too, is that, while he creates interesting stories, he seems to have an issue with being vague about his ultimate goal.

When I reviewed the first issue in this series, I brought up the fact that Donny Cates could truly be bringing the Guardians back to that level in which all Guardians books are judged: whether or not they match the greatness of the Abnett/Lanning series from over a decade ago. That issue raised my eyebrows with intrigue more than anything else since that time, but one has to always consider that a When I reviewed the first issue in this series, I brought up the fact that Donny Cates could truly be bringing the Guardians back to that level in which all Guardians books are judged: whether or not they match the greatness of the Abnett/Lanning series from over a decade ago.

It hasn't been since Original Sin that we got an event where certain characters team up that you'd never imagine teaming up. Here, we get Conan and Scarlet Witch. While it could've been handled terribly (and there's even a moment where the writers hint at how aware they are of that), and this particular team-up takes up the good majority of the issue, it still ends up being a really entertaining r It hasn't been since Original Sin that we got an event where certain characters team up that you'd never imagine teaming up.

Of course it won't take you as long to read this as it will to play the game it's adapted from, as you'll probably be spending hours (like I did) swinging around the city just for the fun of it. This takes all the exciting bits from the game and adds extra touch-ups here and there to provide a cohesive and thrilling story for those who would rather read it than play it.

Of course we need a good story with depth, especially with Avengers, and Aaron is well-known for building up his stories, although some slower than others. This has surprisingly been the best arc so far of his run, as each issue has been fairly full of exciting action, but this one takes the cake as a great finish and a template for how awesome and kickass every issue of Avengers should be.

I'm not entirely sure why Wolverine has to be the main hero in this series. Maybe we'll find out later, or maybe Marvel just wanted to make some use of him for the time being. Nevertheless, the story itself is pretty interesting, being a direct spin-off from the so-so Infinity Wars event. This issue in general wasn't anything spectacular (save for the inclusion future Phoenix Logan), but as it see I'm not entirely sure why Wolverine has to be the main hero in this series.

The series may seem to be moving a little slow at the moment, but it is at least giving us a good dose of action, character moments and cool nods to classic Marvel characters, while also setting us up with enough mystery to make me want to keep reading.

No doubt has this series been intriguing from the get-go. That could be a mixture of it being the follow-up to No Surrender (which was awesome) and the fact that I'm a huge fan of Hercules (who is sorta front-and-center in this), or maybe it's just really good. Ewing, Zub and Waid have done a great job giving each character enough time to have a bit of purpose, so even though this is about the dow No doubt has this series been intriguing from the get-go.
