I noted that the X Of Swords event issues weren't included and wondered if there might be an X Of Swords Omnibus at some point to cover that Well, maybe, but not any time soon Because the page count has just been pumped up from 656 pages to 704 pages and for the content to[...]

Or for me to buy for myself. The book will be going for $75 for 656 pages and should sit nicely with the House Of X/Powers Of X hardcover that was out for last Christmas. I note that the X Of Swords issues aren't included, which may be covered by next week's release of the X Of[...]

That's not a compliment, especially given the meandering nature of this plot, the needless subplot in Hellions, and … well, this awkward finale that was, to quote another philosopher Clifford Smith Jr., "totally X-ed out and crisscrossed."

After a long, long, long, slow, slow, slow start, the tournament in Marvel's X of Swords crossover that's, like, the whole point of the crossover finally began last week But not, perhaps, in the way people expected This week, that tournament is in full swing, with three chapters hitting stores on Wednesday, and Marvel has[...]

Anyway, so what's happening in Krakoa today? Actually, that's from Savage Avengers – set before of after X Of Swords isn't known here Because Majik is up to her eyes in that, in Marauders as we get a little light relief ahead of all the slaughter to come… So what happens when Wolverine stabs Saturnyne through the[...]

It looks like the fighting still isn't starting yet because this issue opens with a menu for a dinner all the sword bearers are gonna eat before the X of Swords tournament starts Phew! Note: one of the dishes is braised in squid urine, which makes me wonder if Rick Remender has secretly returned to the[...]

while Sebastian Shaw is being hunted by Kitty Pryde in upcoming X Of Swords as well… SWORD #3 cover.   Marvel really, really need to put all this back into print, don't they? The Captain Britain-originated appearance of Mad Jim Jaspers and The Furies, alongside Saturnyne, Otherworld, Roma and more has led me to reread the now out-of-print-and-far-too-valuable[...]

So this tale of survival, recovery and growth, all under assault, for the people of Arakko… X-Men #12 artwork. Is far more about desperation on Genesis' part and doing anything to survive.

If there was ever any question, it's settled now: X Of Swords: Stasis #1's scattershot characterization, tone poetry approach to plotting and reliance on a theme over detail confirms that we are reading different flavors of East of West with mutants.
