X-Men #10 by Jonathan Hickman, Leinil Francis Yu and Sunny Gho is the first in-series Empyre event tie-in, and uses the Marvel Universe invasion of plant-alien Cotati on the Moon to dig into the secret mysterious of Vulcan, Gabriel Summers, the third Summers brother. There are some fascinating revelations here, a number of which connect to my Vulcan theories pitched way back in Krakin’ Krakoa #44, and what I’m predicting is a major X of Swords tease.
Today I’ll answer:
- How does X-Men fit into the Empyre event?
- What did we learn about Vulcan, and what does it mean for Krakoa and the Dawn of X?
- What does this have to do with X of Swords?
Potential spoilers for discussed comics may follow!

was one of my favorite comics of 2019, and the TKO Studios sci-fi mini is now a 2020 Eisner nominee for “Best Limited Series.” Creators Jeff Lemire, Gabriel Walta, Steve Wands and collaborators work to create an ambient, isolated space adventure with a mission gone horribly awry, and only children and their onboard artificial intelligence left to guide the vessel safely to a new homeland. It’s a gripping and occasionally heartrending read, with Walta’s gorgeous art and colors deliciously well-suited for the larger TKO Studios release format.
