Read the preview pages. Fuck, my hype is at an all time high.
I'm absolutely loving this art. It's amazing. Both it and the coloring is so easy on the eyes.
I dunno what Nexus is. Sage and Cypher looks interesting. And I'm glad we know of Rasputin's name.

I've read Grand Design 1 as well, but I didn't recognize Krakoa. It looks like such a beautiful haven. Gonna go back to it.
It might be in issue two. I've only read the first four so far.
Read the preview and I'm already beyond hyped, I can't freaking wait.
It's at the very end of the first book but they go more into it in the second one.
I'm confused, can I go into this with no recent X-Men knowledge? I thought it was a total reboot/starting from scratch/scraping everything in the past type thing...
The only X-Men I know are the movies, animated series, and Marvel vs Capcom etc.
Y'all are talking spoilers about people being resurrected etc. I'm sure this new series will explain all that right?

I can't find it, but don't bother with me. I'm gonna go through the pages tonight in Grand Design 1.
I got about 80 pages left of Eternals Vol. 2, and then I can jump hard into X-Men.
It's definitely not a total reboot. I think you should be fine though. You will recognize a bunch of characters and a bunch you won't. I read all of Hickman's previous FF/Avengers stuff without overall Marvel Comics knowledge beyond the movies and generally he would explain things that you need to know or catch you up. Though not always in the first issue so give it some time to sink in.

To be honest I just gave up/. His run is so fucking bad. "Here's that old character you love! Oops! They're dead now! Hope shot Scott in the eye so now he's a real Cyclops! lol!!!"

I checked spoilers on Tumblr and it seems:
1) Alex just... kinda explodes?
2) Madrox runs towards sentinels, then Cyclops says that Madrox is dead.
So yeah, someone died off-screen. AGAIN.

Was this posted? Saw it posted in the Comics OT.

This confirms it is Moira. Some people were thinking that was a different character. Also confirms that version of Havok is the X-Baby version, not main Havok de-aged or anything like that.
jon bones (or anyone else in this thread really) I hope you don't mind helping me out a bit, I'm incredibly grateful toward you for it though. So I bought quite a few X-books today, and I tried placing them in the reading order, and would just make sure this is the correct way to go through it?
Do one read through the Demon Bear Saga before Curse of the Valkyries? Or is it the other way around? Both came out in 1981 I think.
I also reckon one can read Old/Dead Man Logan whenever (it's my impression it's quite standalone) but I'll just place it at the end.

everybody comes back from Age of X-Man, but Magneto has some agreements with X-Man that probably will be explored in Hickman's runs in ways that will render this entire saga useless. Also, nobody dies and nothing mattered - but the storyline was quite good (I'm talking about the Alpha/Omega one shots and the Marvelous X-Men mini) It's good to read some mutant books without everything ending in a dumb fight
That was some crazy plot....lots of mutants died, like new mutants (rahne and sunspot), chamber and some villains (dark beast, joseph). I guess the most impactful things character-wise were Havok's apparent death and Illyana losing her powers and giving away to her demonic form. Juggernaut was also affected, as the Cyttorak was destroyed. Also there was a Cyclops / Jean kiss in the end, with poker faces by Emma and Logan; and the human/government sponsored enemy was defeated in the finale. In the end , there was a plot with Emma wiping (or hiding) the mutants presence from the world, but that was undone and Cyclops kinda stepped up with a "we are at war with humankind" speech in the end again. I enjoyed Rosemberg's run (and I've never enjoyed his books), even if it felt too fanmade-y and I always turned the page expecting that all would be revealed as a dream.

Wait, I'm shocked. As a child I was watching 'Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.' I remember those three - Spider-Man, Iceman and Firestar - were my favorites primarily cause of their colors, but I never knew Firestar was an actual mutant. Nostalgia's coming up in me.
There was an episode of SMaHAF where they go back to the X-Mansion and visit Professor X and the other X-men. The episode makes her being a mutant a key plot point.
I don't remember anything from the show, just the character designs. It's 20+ years since I saw it. Might have picked up on it back then, might not have heh.

Yeah she joined the team a few years ago and then was never heard from again.
Cool, just got through the preview issues (super short!) but got the gist of House of X. Powers of X totally went over my head, but I'm sure more will be explained
LOL I just saw that snipped of an episode and thought it was a bootleg Phoenix
Everyone, heroes and villains alike in that PoX preview is new, so you're with everyone else there!
I just read her entire wiki and she's been through a lot.
Good to know, I was also a bit lost through the PoX pages but it also made me curious.
Your order should be:
X-Men Grand Design 1 & 2 (Ed Piskor)
X-Men: Days of Future Past (Chris Claremont)
New Mutants: Demon Bear (Chris Claremont)
New Mutants: Epic Collection: Curse of the Valkyries(Chris Claremont)
New X-Men Vol. 1-7 (Grant Morrison)
House of M (Brian Michael Bendis)
X-Men: Marauders (Mike Carey)
~MESSIAH COMPLEX / XFORCE 1-13/MESSIAH WAR/XFORCE 20-25/SECOND COMING GOES HERE~

Will Hickman surpass this moment from his Fantastic Four run?
kids. that was the missing element from avengers/new avengers. that's where the heart is.
It is however not the same Krakoa. That is one of the grown seeds of Krakoa that was abused by the Kiddie Hellfire Club and then Joined the X-men and basically became the school grounds to the Jean Grey Institute (built on the ruins of the Xavier Institute)
Which is what is great about Hickman. He doesn't reboot, he adapts the past so it's accessible again without invalidating the years of stories before it.
That's.not quite what she said. I read this much more as a comment on the fact that nobody dies on comics (or that she'll meet everyone in Heaven --this is the Marvel universe and God has already been met by Reed Richards...I guess eternal life IS a sure thing here)
I'm a heartless bastard, as I didn't like basically any of the stuff with the kids in the FF. Not that it was poorly done. But I don't care. Reading Hickman's run made realize that I also don't care about Johnny Storm or Ben. It's Clobbe...fuck off.

There was just something so fucking weird and dream like about this. I liked it but I don't trust it.
You are a monster. The wordless issue when he's getting out all his grief in a fist fight and then just collapses... what's wrong with you man
It's Charles. Something is off about him and his expression and the fact that Cerebra that covers his eyes.
It's good, and I liked what they did with the return of Johnny. But beyond a few serious moments they seemed to be kept as light fun throwback characters and I need my EDGE. /s
EVERYTHING DIES

Charles is absolutely not to be trusted. He's been weird since he took over Fantomex.
What are the odds that Charles is actually still dead and this is someone like Shadow King or Cassandra Nova pretending to be him?
OP

I'd say both are possible but considering we just did a year long Shadow King storyline a few years ago he's off the table.
