The best part for me about Excalibur #4 is that you get to see Gambit and Rictor at their best and being somewhat a team to help Apocalypse free Rogue in her current state.

One thing I do have in mind is that Apocalypse has done something strange to Richtors powers

Excalibur #4: I love this series so much and I like seeing Betsy deal with the politics of being Captain Britain, and the druids wanting Rictor to be with them(and even worshipping him I guess?) is an interesting development.

I am not crying, you are.😭

I really feel for Gambit since its awful to see Rogue in this state and not knowing when or how will she be released from this.

Also I have no idea why would the Avengers help Kang since for decades he is a villain towards them.

It wasn't surprising he lashed out and blamed the Avengers after Myriddian made him lose his memories of the "Missing Moment".

Somehow I think Myriddian is a Kang variant

The Avengers (2023) #10:
The conversation between Myriddian and Kang was lacking.

Kang in this moment should've been abit more hostile against Myriddian since he has dark intentions for him.

I am surprised we did not get any flashbacks to give more substance to their conversation.

The writing towards the Twilight Court in issue #9 of The Avengers feels so hollow. Yet again they may seem like villains, but in reality they are not great antagonists.

And to make things worse, there is not enough time to build a proper dynamic between them and the heroes.

The Avengers (2023) #9: Mmm... I am not sure what to make of the Twilight Court since their powers are uninteresting as I expected alot more when we saw them the first time. At best this issue is basically matchup fight sequence and that’s about it.

Now I am not sold on the Twilight Court as of Yet in Avengers (2023) #8 since they did not capture my attention as the next antagonists within this arc.

I do hope there is more to these characters since I do love fully realized and nuaced villains.

Avengers #8:
At this point I am running out of compliments for Jed MacKay since he understands who The Avengers are.

It was splendid to see Wanda and Vision to be the main focus of this issue since they have to battle against the Twilight Court to protect Kang and the other Avengers.

This issue for Avengers (2023) #7 reminded me so much from the Young Justice episode "Failsafe" where despite the Avengers are going full throttle against an enemy, their efforts will not mean much since they will lose no matter what.

Its truly sickening that Nightmare was behind it.

Seeing Carol's black superhero suit with the lightning stripe brings so much nostalgia since I do love this suit ever since I read her solo run from the 2000s when she was under moniker "Ms Marvel".

Avengers (2023) #7 was certainly a dark. Jed MacKay certainly knows how to showcase pushing the teams limits and making the stakes very high and entertaining.

The only downside I had with this issue was that its basically a long tease for what's come in the next arc for the Avengers.

Ever since Xavier went to space, I did not follow up on the Imperial War storyline since I was catching up on From the Ashes X-Men books and since I am now, I will probably start reading them asap since Jonathan Hickman is reviving the cosmic side of Marvel Comics.

I am so excited for X-Men of Apocalypse mainly for Blink & Morph since they are my favorite characters in the run Exiles.

Its been far too long since we have seen these characters since they did not have a huge role in Krakoa or From the Ashes.

The sad thing about Shinobi being revived in Krakoa is that once he learns about the truth about Sebastion Shaws actions , things will get messy quickly.

And I am still not sure what to make of Shinobi apparently meeting with The Hand?

Seems to both father and son have secrets of their own

Marauders #3: I am surprised this issue was solely focused on Sebastian Shaw. Sebastian's actions here are confusing to me.
Ever since the rebirth of Shinobi, Sebastian Shaw is being two faced towards him as he still treats him like a pawn especially mixing with truth and lies

Since Hickman is the architect of Krakoa era, I do wonder how much will he introduce since in this era since already in issue #3 of X-Men (2019) we are already getting brand new villains.

I just hope its not reoccuring thing since it would be awful to not see these stories conclude.

#XMen (2019) #3: I was alittle taken aback with the plot revolving the Savage Lands, however the more I kept reading I liked it quite alot especially with the older ladies. They were clever and honest about today's horticulture experimentation.

Hickman is actually good at humor, lol.

I love this interaction between Emma and Jean in #XMen (2019) #3.

Being a Jean Grey fan has not been easy ever since Emma started dating Scott all the way in the 2000s, but Jean seeing the comics restore Jean's and Scott relationship in the Krakoa has been splendid to see.

The only downside to X-Force (2019) #2 is that Jean needs to showcase more confidence in herself and authority than this “I don’t know if I can do it”.

Also I am hoping we do learn why Jean became Marvel Girl in the Krakoa era.

My opinion on Kid Omega has changed ever since I started reading Jed MacKay's X-Men, but man I totally forgot how annoying and cocky he used to be.

The team up with Wolverine and Kid Omega was so sort funny since they are basically like oil and water, lol.

X-Force (2019) #2: I did not expect this story to be this dark especially with what happend to Domino. The theme in HoXPoX that resonated most for me might be the humans' willingness to become monsters rather than accept mutant ascendancy.
Now I wonder when will Dr. Devo appear again?

I'm not familiar with Xandra or really get the putting her on the throne. However recruiting Deathbird seems a bad idea on many levels.

The only reason why I know of Deathbird is from X-Men 97 and I know this won't end well for The New Mutants.

New Mutants (2019) #2: I am still getting used to the idea of an X-Men team journeying in space, but this was a great solid fun issue.

Loved seeing Izzy and Sam again. I love the way Hickman writes Roberto.
