March 2, 2020 by Dave 3 Comments

At this week’s 2020 Chicago Comic Con (aka C2e2) Jonathan Hickman and the X-Men team announced the X-Men’s first Dawn of X crossover, “X of Swords” pronounced “Ten of Swords.” Starting in May’s Free Comic Book Day special, “Ten of Swords” is a 15 part crossover primarily running through Hickman’s X-Men and Tini Howard’s Excalibur.

Today I’ll answer:

+ What is “Ten of Swords”

+ Why does it make sense that X-Men and Excalibur are the focus comics?

+ Predictions and theories about the event, including a brief history of X-Men swords!
