A good collection of the Hickman run, albeit an incomplete one
4 stars
The Hickman et al. run of the X-Men has been quite enjoyable and I ended up buying most of the adyacent arcs and collections. And thanks to that I wasn't lost while reading this volume, but anyone that picks this in isolation will be a bit lost so... Check Dawn/Powers of X first and then, as you go through this volume check also the Hellfire Gala and X of Swords, so the most... confusing bits are clearer. That aside, the plot, artstyles, overall design and characterisations are very good so it is quite an enjoyable volume.
