I loved what Hickman is doing to the X-Men introducing new concepts inheriting the storytelling ideas of Claremont, Byrne, Lobdell, Alan Davis, Morrison, snd Bendis.
Once christmas is over, I will order this book. Because of the overview, this helped calmed my fomo for the Mark Brooks cover. I actually like both covers, but if the Mark Brooks is all gone, the regular cover is wonderful to look at and acquire. Thanks for the vid.
I’ve always enjoyed your videos but I have taken your photography for granted. It wasn’t until I saw your beautiful stills on Instagram that I really took notice of how great your photography is here as well. I feel like I have to go thru all your old videos and watch again with an awake eye to appreciate the work you’ve done. After that, I’m gonna have to sit and wait for a video of the new X of Swords book just released.
Thank you so much! I recently got the X of Swords OHC but want to pair it with an upcoming pair of sneakers I want to grab for an IG Post (it will pair nicely)
Weekly books have been more Marvel for a good while now (it fluctuates year to year) but I covered Vision on this channel earlier this year... 2020 will have focus on Marvel, Image, Dark Horse and other publishers!
Outstanding overview, the one the new relaunch and the this book deserve. Can't wait to get my copy in my hands. I got so excited for Hickman's take on mutants it actually pushed me to go get the singles, which I've never done before. Can't wait to see the gauge on the quality of Dawn of X a few months from now to see if it stays strong
X-Force is the sole dawn of x book I follow religiously , I feel it’s the one title that has the strongest ties to HOX/POX , loved getting this collection myself, hopefully they take their time developing these books instead of launching so much content at once
Totally agree! Benjamin Percy is doing an amazing job with X-Force and can’t wait for Wolverine. The only book I’m not a fan of in the Dawn of X lineup would be Fallen Angels....
@darkness101011 X-Force, New Mutants and X-Men are the books I love the most. X-Men is the most important of all the titles but X-Force, Marauders and Excalibur are also important. Wolverine deals with what wolverines is facing in this new X-era. X-Factor and Hellions looks promising too. You can read Cable if you like the character
Thanks man!!! Definitely need both covers and you don’t want to get stuck with getting a TPB in the future when your OHC gets beat up 😁 and it’s out of print! Now you have a spare!
Thank you for your reviews and analysis. I just got this ordered and i have a question. I see alot of TP's to get published of Dawn of X. And since i collect only HC, do you think we will have one or two deluxe HC editions in the near future that will collect all of them? Oh, almost forgot. Is the X-Men X of Swords HC a must buy for the story?
Thanks!!! I think we will see oversized hardcovers for some but not all the Dawn of X titles once 12 issues hits the shelves. My bet will be X-Men, New Mutants, X-Force and Marauders. Rest will probably just get the TPB treatment. X of Swords should get an oversized hardcover if it's a hit.
That DM variant version is so damn dope. Can you please upload some pictures of the variant book on your Instagram or twitter. I really got hooked to the DM variant when I caught a glimpse of it on this video, Does the two books have any differences other than the dust jackets.?
The question I want to know is when did Moira started wearing a hat? I don't remember her in the older X-Men comics and in the X-Men Animated Series of her wearing one.
For not even double the price, you can have Absolute Swamp Thing volume 1, with beautiful design, including a cover that feels like it came right out of the swamp, and beautiful re-coloring of one of the greatest stories in comics. This looks like a great hardcover, but it doesn't even have sewn binding. Hard to call it Collected Edition of the Year.
This is purely my opinion and I understand others won’t feel the same. I totally agree the run and recoloring is amazing for Absolute Swamp Thing but my binding is falling apart and had warped covers (many others had this experience too). More importantly I’m giving this collected edition of the year because of the story and art alone not for the build of the book... this got me excited for the franchise alone and makes me want to read the entire x-men back catalogue in addition to what’s coming next. Alan Moore’s swamp thing doesn’t give off that same level of enthusiasm to keep reading more Swamp Thing or JLD outside his run.
I was lucky to pick up the last two at a local comic book store in NYC. Marvel releases packs of 5 to stores for upcoming events then eventually sell out. Best bet would be ebay but also check out local/online comic book stores who might still have stock.
This looks great except for the glued binding! I read house of x in singles but didn’t realise that powers of x was the same series with a different name, lol. Oh well I guess I’m going to have to buy the OHC!!! Damn.
John Lindsay Many thanks for checking in!!! Really appreciate it! Big stressful move to Jersey and I’m currently building out the new room for the channel. The channel will definitely have a new and unique background for featured books/collectibles. Gone are the old white shelves 😁
But I already have the floppies.. I mean the HC came out really fast due to the success of the floppies. I'm sure the HC is pretty successful too. Maybe several more issues and HCs, we should get an Omni vol 1 in a year or two...
The Deluxe Edition not in Sweden. Might have to go the UK route and order from there. My LCS said they’ll get it back in January, so maybe I’ll just have to wait
The Deluxe Edition UPDATE: My LCS got in used copies of all twelve floppies(vf-nm) at the very last minute, picked them all up for a combined 30 bucks. Issue 1 to house of X was a variant though
The Deluxe Edition I did, probably one of the best comics I’ve ever read, the issues where the x-men storm that space station were the best. I’m probably gonna pick up some of the titles in trade now
I see it as the entire MCU (focusing now purely on the X-Men characters) was restarted through Moira.. This gave Hickman the choice what to include and what not to include for the current timeline . Similar to the New 52... Writers cherry picked what events to include from the previous timeline and tweak it to their liking.
Okay... is it ACTUALLY pronounced as Powers of Ten? Every video I've seen pronounces them House of X, and Powers of Ten. Why is it not Powers of X? The asymmetry in pronunciation seems at odds with the symmetry of the titles. Why is it this way!?
Indeed it is... the Powers of Ten issues covers the past, present and future... year 1, 10, 100, 1000 (i.e dates increase by a power of ten). Thanks for raising this question as I should have pointed it out in the video.
Thank you!!! I think eating a couple weeks of Ramen noodles 🍝 is worth it to obtain this book 😂. I honestly think is 12 issue series is the best thing we got all year at the very least.
The Deluxe Edition only joking mate - it was a bargain on Amazon UK when I ordered it after seeing you enjoying the singles on Instagram, only £27 ... however, the Batman DKIII was not so cheap!
Once christmas is over, I will order this book. Because of the overview, this helped calmed my fomo for the Mark Brooks cover. I actually like both covers, but if the Mark Brooks is all gone, the regular cover is wonderful to look at and acquire. Thanks for the vid.
I just skipped a conference call to watch this lol
😂😂😂 Sorry for timing the release during the workday. Took UA-cam forever to process until this morning.
You do make us want to buy everything you review. Been following you raving about this on Instagram and have added to my wish list since then.
Been a long time coming!! Definitely jump on it when you can.... this may turn into a TPB if the initial print run gets sold out.

Wow I just realized this is your first Marvel... do more Marvel and Image!

Thank you! I wanted to talk so much more but I would be spoiling for everybody. Dawn of X has been great (especially x-force) !
Subscribed, from Qatar 🇶🇦. Great content, keep it up 👍🏽
Many thanks!!! 🙏🏻

Yes it showed me a side of Jean Grey. I hope the writers also have a story of Exodus leading the X-Men.

You can read Cable if you like the character
Thank you for this A+mazing review, as usual! I just got my copy and it is just divine! Where did you get the Brooks cover?
Many thanks for the love! I got it from my local comic book store.
Your reviews are so damn good. Your videos really motivate to buy books. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks !!!!
Cool review. I want more Image/Dark Horse hardcovers videos please.😁
Guaranteed for 2020!!!
For example a review on Gideon Falls is long overdue!!
The Deluxe Edition That would be great!!!
Nice review Alex! I have both cover variants coming my way soon.
Thanks man!!! Definitely need both covers and you don’t want to get stuck with getting a TPB in the future when your OHC gets beat up 😁 and it’s out of print! Now you have a spare!
The Deluxe Edition word my brother!

This is so in depth love love love it
Cheers man!
Excellent Video, im currently waiting for my copy to be delivered ✌️
Sweet!! I’m so happy people are going to experience this masterpiece!!
That DM variant version is so damn dope. Can you please upload some pictures of the variant book on your Instagram or twitter. I really got hooked to the DM variant when I caught a glimpse of it on this video, Does the two books have any differences other than the dust jackets.?
It’s just a different dust jacket showcasing Mark Brooks’ stunning work....
Thanks for the peek. Mine is en route.
☮
Awesome!!! I’m glad I managed to do this video without spoiling!
We want to see your comic collection
Please do a library tour
You would no doubt double dip for an omni & triple dip for an Adamantium edition...
Definitely!
as always your reviews are on point
Cheers!!
I thought I wanted the Brooks cover, but it doesn't wrap around. The Larraz cover's dual-red spine is also a turn-off. What do you guys think?
The Brooks artwork wraps around the fold of the dust jacket! This way Moira, Charles and Magneto would be perfectly centered on the front cover 😊
Amazing video! 🤓 So tough to choose, but imo the Brooks cover > Pepe Larraz cover!
Thank you... Definitely a tough choice!
They should release editions with both dustjackets. Pennies by them can charge $10 to gullible fans like us.

@@TheDeluxeEdition I came off a bit strong. Apologies.
Not at all! I should’ve clarified why I gave it the collected edition of the year in the video.
Where can I get that long box?
I was lucky to pick up the last two at a local comic book store in NYC. Marvel releases packs of 5 to stores for upcoming events then eventually sell out. Best bet would be ebay but also check out local/online comic book stores who might still have stock.

The story is one and the same and flows perfectly.
The Deluxe Edition Yeah I Absolutely loved it just from the House of X issues I read.
Great looking book
Ver lovely video!
Hey Deluxe Edition, where are you? We all miss your videos. I hope you’re ok. Take care of yourself and give us a shout if you can.
John Lindsay Many thanks for checking in!!! Really appreciate it! Big stressful move to Jersey and I’m currently building out the new room for the channel. The channel will definitely have a new and unique background for featured books/collectibles. Gone are the old white shelves 😁
Hmmm should I wait for the Hickman X-Men Omni ......
No no no! Jump on the OHC because it will be several years before we have such a thing. For example, where’s our Jason Aaron Thor Omnibus 😆
But I already have the floppies.. I mean the HC came out really fast due to the success of the floppies. I'm sure the HC is pretty successful too. Maybe several more issues and HCs, we should get an Omni vol 1 in a year or two...
Damn it my LCS sold this out and I can't get it in time for christmas, i'm going to go cry now
Damn!! 😢. How about Amazon or do you have a Barnes and Noble near by?
The Deluxe Edition not in Sweden. Might have to go the UK route and order from there. My LCS said they’ll get it back in January, so maybe I’ll just have to wait

@@adamaksoy4169 That's awesome that you managed to get the whole story before the holidays! I hope you enjoy it!
The Deluxe Edition I did, probably one of the best comics I’ve ever read, the issues where the x-men storm that space station were the best. I’m probably gonna pick up some of the titles in trade now
HoX/PoX is not a New52 of the XMen. The continuity wasnt ignoted or rebooted its all still there.
I see it as the entire MCU (focusing now purely on the X-Men characters) was restarted through Moira.. This gave Hickman the choice what to include and what not to include for the current timeline . Similar to the New 52... Writers cherry picked what events to include from the previous timeline and tweak it to their liking.
I hope 'Kevin Feige' gets a wind of this and put this in the "MCU"...?!...
I hope in further MCU X-Men sequels. Rumors are Eternals is going to introduce the X-Men.
Where is this reviewer gone?
Marooned in Krakoa only reading X-Books :)
Okay... is it ACTUALLY pronounced as Powers of Ten? Every video I've seen pronounces them House of X, and Powers of Ten. Why is it not Powers of X? The asymmetry in pronunciation seems at odds with the symmetry of the titles. Why is it this way!?

Glued binding in a hardback is always a big disappointment
Very true but we can forgive them for this one time.
Breathe
I love your videos but please can you ease off for a few weeks, you’re making me poor!
Thank you!!! I think eating a couple weeks of Ramen noodles 🍝 is worth it to obtain this book 😂. I honestly think is 12 issue series is the best thing we got all year at the very least.

Absolute Editions always hurts our wallets 🙁
Why are you reviewing marvel? 😡
Get use to it ... time to give them and other publishers some love!
