A reference to the Helfire Gala up coming series. This story have mu favorite artwork of the whole book. The second story is more of a classic style of the Xmen in action answering a call from the Shi'ar Empire. This includes Krakoa, Arakko, the Quiet Council, the residents of both islands, and the Xmen. The first is the fall out from the X of Swords. The book contains four stories over five issues. I would have given yhus 3.5 stars but I think it edged a round up, definitely not a drop down. In some ways this usca transitional books to msny man of the events going on with the Xmen, but it is slightly more of a step forward then just a transition. "Hey man, we need to wrap this up, we need more money, we already have plans for more relaunches, more events, more series, we'll give you a mini-series to wrap this up, is that ok with you? Thanks my man, you're the best!"Īh, I bet those conversations were not so different, Marvel is pretty transparent these days, all they care about is money, through and through, and their product keeps getting stained with greed. Reign of X have not been as good as Dawn of X, and this last volume of the core series was no different, while the Children of the Vault was a good story arc, it was resolved in just a couple of issues, almost as if Hickman was working on this new exciting storyline then suddenly gets called to a Marvel meeting where they tell him, House of X/Powers of X was such a massive hit that the suits at Marvel decided to greenlight as many spin-offs as possibles to cash-in on its success, and this lead to a massive shift in direction. I feel like Jonathan Hickman's plans for the X-Men was lost circa X of Swords, clearly ruined by editorial pressure, so it's no surprise to me that his run on the X-Men is already wrapping up.
