How to (Re)Read the Hickman Era of X-Men: Powers of X #4, Pt. 3

May 5, 2021 by David Bowen Leave a Comment

III. Year 10, Doug’s Meet-Cute with Krakoa (pgs11-19)

A picture containing text, book Description automatically generated

A. Doug Meets Krakoa—Ambivalently at first; then, with eerie enthusiasm

This is the first we’ve seen of the six-month gap after Rosenberg’s Uncanny X-Men and before HOX/POX, though it raises more questions than it answers! This scene certainly isn’t here to reveal that Doug communes with Krakoa. Their relationship and his creation of a Krakoan language in distinction from Krakoa’s own have all already been functionally established.

No, this scene is meant to be another layered puzzle piece! Though it might mostly be misdirection with just a kernel of something vastly important hidden in plain sight. Who. Knows.

How to (Re)Read the Hickman Era of X-Men: Powers of X #4, Year One

I. Something Sinister This Way Comes

A. Is Something Sinister Staring Us in the Face?

POX4 cover

On a first read, R.B. Silva’s dramatic POX 4 cover doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the contents of the issue, as if this cool picture he just happened to draw was too good not to be one of the covers.

Something random about HOX/POX?! Perish the thought.

How to (Re)Read the Hickman Era of X-Men: House of X #3, Pt. 2, House of X #4

April 14, 2021 by David Bowen Leave a Comment

Note: I had initially assumed this would be a relatively tight piece, reflecting the pace of blockbuster action. Hah! There’s a lot going on in HOX 4. But for you, dear reader, I’ve uncovered inchoate revelations and tantalizing doubts that will surely sustain your anxieties well into the Dawn of X and beyond. Don’t forget to stay hydrated!

How to (Re)Read the Hickman Era of X-Men: House of X #3, “Once More Unto the Breach” – Pt.1

March 31, 2021 by David Bowen Leave a Comment

At last! A two-issue run of Year 10 action! (Well, HOX 3 is actually mostly just suspense.)

And the Pepe Larraz cover of HOX 3, a blockbuster sci-fi action movie poster, kicks it off. We’ve got five senior X-Men—the revived trio of Cyke, Logan, and Jean; Kurt wielding a very large sword, much larger than his usual rapier or cutlass; and Warren as Archangel—and “Gen Xers” Monet and Paige Guthrie, or Husk. Their target is clear: The Mother Mold in orbit around the Sun.
