Was waiting for both trades, and I thought I'd have to read something else alongside too lol.
Jeez. Don't click this. It straight spoils the upcoming end of his current GL run.
Sure, but I don't think PoX is being collected with HoX.
And while HoX flows perfectly, thus far anyways, PoX is a bunch of nonsense without HoX to inform it.
Sorry, I mean't about the comments that PoX is unredable by itself.
cosmic brain is marvel making two separate TPBs and then making you buy both, full price, as you flip back and forth between HoX/PoX
Why didnt anyone tell me Trump Punch Man: Delete This #1 was out today!?
Powers of X #2 was certainly a comic book
I can't wait for the ongoings to get going, I need Hickman to give me more Cyclops. loved the early bits with Charles Moira and Mags and then Charles Mags and Cyclops. he seems to really understand the three of them
Didn't they do that with Infinity and Avengers/New Avengers?
The Infinity trade came with everything, which was nice, but I think they also put out trades with the A and NA issues by themselves, which I'm sure confused/tricked people into doubling up.
Okay, looking back your spoiler makes a lot more sense now. And yeah, anyone planning on reading either title alone is in no way going to have a satisfying or sensible experience. Even more than his NA/Avengers runs.
The eventual beatdown will be so satisfying, fingers crossed
I kinda wished it'd be in the hands of a manga artist. Cause he doesn't need to be killed, or wiped from existence, or knocked out.
He needs a multiple page long beating.
I mean I guess it'll all be connected in the end, but PoX just reads like a giant info dump. I don't really have any investment in anything going on. I literally said "oh fuck off" out loud when I saw that the last few pages were just definitions of shit being described.
HoX #1 was fresh and exciting, everything else has been okay tbh

I'm with hipsterpants in thought, but in a completely different place emotionally. PoX #2 definitely the middle child of the series so far. But that's okay. It's great even. We all know that HoX is --the story--. It's all but inevitable that the events in PoX are going to be erased/dismantled/reconned). It's a device. That's just how stories in the future work in comics. So what PoX is doing is basically telling a series of smaller stories building up to ONE BIG THING (and some smaller twisty things). This one big thing will be the catalyst driving HoX into its endgame, while the PoX-side of the story goes poof. Which means that PoX #2 is basically 15-30 minutes into an Ocean's 11 movie where Hickman's George Clooney and his crew are all the smaller timeline stories. It's tension. It's intrigue. It's all building up to a heist -- only in this case, we don't know what the heist is.
HoX #1 is still my favorite issue so far, of course. That was a fuckin' comic that I wouldn't mind reading for 5 years. It's still crazy to me that we got that first issue of HoX and then Hickman was like, "Motherfucker that was just the prologue." Also, I love charts.
A couple things:
1.) considering Tomino's point in most of his Gundam series was literally that "adults screw everything up" , I'm going to guess your read of the character is much harsher than he ever intended. Zeta makes Kamille a tragic figure (though a bit of a hypocrite), not one who essentially "got what he deserved", which I know aren't your exact words. There's a reason the do-over films don't screw him as badly. You make it sound like he was Katz, lol.
2.) Admittedly, it's been 12 years since I watched Zeta. But Past Sage saw the bolded and got sick, physically. So I'm gonna bow out on discussing Zeta lol.
PoX #2 discussion:
I like seeing the older aged up characters like Old Man Logan, but still in his Wolverine get up. Speaking of, was that Swamp Thing-esc character Krakoa?
But, I think PoX is being told from the point of view of that Librarian character, or the person with the Nimrod droid thing. Like they are going back and viewing the events of the past leading up to that point of time. Not really important, just what im thinking after reading.

Yea I edited my post with them, but to see them they are in this video at around 11 mins in
I would agree that that's the case and the point is largely intact by the end. It seems to me that they were allowing Kamille do his thing like they had with Aumuro only for it to be to most of the crews detriment in the end. There were other screw up not related to Kamille. Kamille is on his redemption tour when what happens ultimately happens. I don't think he deserved that, but it's still like... No. Emma and everyone else who scolds him for his behavior were right to 100% of the time because people would die in the wake of him pitching a fit and hijacking shit like, IDK, important ass military secrets like the Zeta Gundam?! You also forget that Emma chills out and probably a better pilot than Kamille's ass cuz she's not a Newtype, AND THATS THE TEA!
You are the only person I've ever seen dislike Emma lol

Probably the weakest of the Hickman X books so far today,
Amazing Spider-Man was funny, and the idea of Boomerang as a full time character has been a stroke of genius. And that last little twist! I love how weird and low stakes this arc appears to be.
It's funny how everyone who reads that run has different opinions on it. I loved the New Avengers stuff and Infinity (and mostly enjoyed the Avengers World stuff) but hated Time Runs Out and didn't really care about Secret Wars.
but mainly because all of the Phalanx stuff felt like a total info dump. Really don't know how all of Mutantkind joining some mass hivemind thing is gonna make sense but sure, let's do it.

I will always bring you the truth. Believe in me, Charmander.
I think the swampy dude is Krakoa inhabiting Doug Ramsey's body. It mentioned the previous inhabitants of its body having abilities identical to Cypher, and it was stated in HoX 1 that Doug and it had a language only they could understand.
Dang. Was right. The new Absolute Dark Knight edition was canceled alongside the Burnside Batgirl omnibus way back. IST tricked me.
Follow-up q from PoX #1. Wolverine says, "All right. Then follow me... the Old Man's waiting." Was that answered in PoX #2? Is the Old Man tree beard or is Wolvie talking about someone else who is waiting?
PoX #1 & #2 Spoilers It's either that or this dude is one of Sinister's Chimera. The second generation of Sinister mutants came after the fall of Krokoa and fused two different mutants' abilities. It's definitely possible that Cypher and Krokoa were made into one such Chimera. Could definitely just be Krokoa fusing into Cypher's body, too. But that would make this character an older mutant. Maybe 70+ years post-fusion? Makes sense since they were grouped with all the other "old mutants" in their first appearance. Since they'd likely to have fused prior to Krokoa falling.

what kind of self-hating bastard would willingly own an omnibus with one more day on the cover?
