Its just great to see X men being the power house franchise at Marvel again
Thank you Hickman
True! Agreed! #myecomics
As it should be !
Even though Magneto (my favorite mutant in the xmen series) will probably hardly be in the "x of swords" series......I still enjoy all of the characters
I just hope when they(XMen) come to MCU, it will be as epic as they have introduced The Avengers
X of swords is reference to the tarot card which depicts a man stabbed through with ten swords
The ten of swords card is often associated with deceit, betrayal, failure, collapse, and ruin
Apocalypse teared up*
Character development achieved
#facts #myecomics
In my comics? woowwowow didnt know it exists
Yeeeeeeesssss
THIS
Maan the artwork is mesmorizing and the look on summoners face when he sprung the trap on banshee and unus. This story is shaping up nicely
#facts #myecomics
Pepe Larraz is awesome
If any recent X-Men storyline ever needed a Comics Explained Video, this is the one.
Definitely gonna be reporting here after ever issue 😂
Ah, the "ten of swords", i get it. That is awesome as all hell. This is turning in an epic odysee.
Feels like reading the actual Odyssey. Epic
Of course, Apocalypse's wife had to be named Genesis of all the names!!!
I think it’s mad corny lol
hell my bet is that Genesis IS Annihilation and Apoc might be forced to kill the only person he truly loves
I’m confused because that’s what his clone went by when he turned into a good guy
@Kurt E. Clothier Slight correction, the book of Revelation is not the end of all things. It's the end of human government and humanity's time of independence from God coming to an end as his rulership over earth begins anew.
The bible describes how humanity went solo from God back when Adam and Eve chose independence for themselves and their offspring thinking that humans did not need God or his leadership. As this was a valid challenge to his leadership he could not just execute them for rebellion. Instead humanity is permitted to prove themselves better rulers over our own lives than God would be. In Revelation it describes events when that period comes to an end, after humanity has utterly failed at self governance but people choose to fight an impossible battle against God to cling to their independence than submit to gods authority.
The four horsemen represent key global events which mark the complete failure of human rulership. Endless wars, poverty and economic disaster on a massive scale, rampant death, global diseases and sickness all happening at the same time. Like a brigade of horsemen charging across the world. That is why the Lords prayer says, "Let your kingdom come, let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Basically it's praying for the battle of Armageddeon to begin so it can end human suffering by reestablishing God's rule over the earth.
@Kurt E. Clothier But that's a harmful misrepresentation portrayed by the media because the book of Apocalypse/Revelation is really supposed to give people hope for a better future and not be fearful when those dark times finally start. I'm just throwing the facts out there because I think in times like this we need to be reminded of things which give hope and comfort.
Jonathan Hickman is the best writer at Marvel, period, his stories take years to play out, I wish other writers took that kind of pride in their work.
should have I read Hickman's X-men vs Avengers before watching this? Or any other series?
22:16 Cable ruining Mom and Dad's HOT COFFEE TIME.
Lol
Cable is banging 4 or 5 cuckoos, and Emma is not happy over it. Scott seems to be happy with it, he's seemed to adopted the Love as Though Wilt ideology. I am ok with this
In one of the information pages that Rob skipped over that detailed the different sections of the land beyond the external gate, it detailed two different zones, and the leader of each section. In one of the sections, it states that Mad Jim Jaspers is the ruler/king of that section
I hope Legion will somehow make an appearance. I really wanna see him interacting with other mutants once more.
want happened to him after age of xman?
The X men need their powerhouse alies, legion is defo one of them
Plus Cassandra Nova, Vargas, Maddie, the Phoenix Force, and Scarlett Witch.
Scarlet witch isn't a mutant anymore
@@johnfrederickudtujan8337 Scarlet Witch is seen as an enemy to the mutants. Like all of them hate her
take a drink every time he says "The problem with this was" or "this issue with this is"
Nick MaGrick take a drink whenever he says “Johnathan Hickman”
Hard Mode: take a drink every time he says "basically."
the artwork in this issue is stellar. I love the character designs for Apocalypses children.
Thank you Rob. After the beginning of Hickman’s X-men run....the whole mutant books (that he was not writing) started to get mad confusing. I am on board now.
In the end, Matthew malloy will return...then all existence will know the rage of X.
"It's a TRAP" Bah! I knew that Summoner was a bad guy.
Right? Who just walks around naked all the time? Gotta be a villain.
If Mad Jim Jaspers comes in and they show the swords powerful, and somehow restore Apocalypse it would epic
I hope the Fury returns. Most underrated OP character. But he might be so OP, he could defeat the Phalanx, Sentinels, Post Humans, Children of Vault, Apocalypse kids, X Men, Avengers, and essentially rest of Marvel universe until the Living Tribunal with one punch that penetrates all space/time.
How boring...
Jaspers literally has a kingdom in Otherworld so we haaaave to see him make an appearance
Characters like him are literally too powerful for their own good.
Interesting that Excalibur wasn't one of the swords, especially since it's Saturnyne basically setting the whole shindig up. I kind of feel like it's going to play some larger role, maybe Saturnyne wants all of those swords to somehow remake Excalibur to restart the Captain Britain Crop?
The relationship between Krakoa and Arakko is reminiscent of the Relationship of Ex Nihilo and Abyss. Land of life, land of death. Which is maybe why the language of Krakoa is so similar to the language of the builders.
where are Ex Nihilo and Abyss right now?
I believe most if not all were destroyed by the Beyonders back in Avengers/New Avengers. But I think there is gonna be a connection to that. Since the X gene is a celestial experiment then it wouldn't be a big jump to retcon and say that no actually an Ex Nihilo hijacked the experiment on the Eternal race and created mutants.
Or Krakoa is a crash landed celestial wishing to be made whole after its bottom half was split off by Surter's sword.
@@jiten9843 dead if my math is right. He was on the space Avengers team with Hyperion/Thor/etc that went to destroy the Beyonders.
That Avengers team all were killed in the fight with the Beyonders until only Hyperion and Thor remained...
Now what if they were two halves of a celestial. Maybe a Mad celestial from hickmans fantastic four. Or an aspirant of the first firmament. Remember apocalypse has history on Krakoa and has a history with gaining access to celestial tech.
Excalibur #12 shows how the "external gate" was built.
I don't usually like how other people end their video, I mean sometimes they drag it too much, sometimes they cut it too short. But man your skills are on another level. When you leave story on cliffhangers, you tend to say your ending dialogues fast sometimes combined with chuckles, hinting you ended video on cliffhanger intentionally but to keep viewers involved. Your narration always makes me smile and your endings as well. Keep up the good work.
The Fury would be a cool thing to bring back.
finally I needed this im getting lost and this is only issue 1 of the event
Welvome to the club
Classic Hickman
Did you read everything leading up to this tho?
nightware14 I read X-men 12 but as for the other titles the only ones I am reading are new mutants x force and wolverine
Jman27 Joestar I’d suggest if you want to get caught up quickly search Krackin Krakoa it’ll give you all the info since Hickman’s run started
Correction : The hulk has gotten past Unus the untouchable's shield when he fought Unus and The Blob (he moved the blob too).
when did they fight? can you give me an issue number?
@@jiten9843 The hulk has fought the Blob at least twice. He fought and beat Unus and the Blob in Marvel Fanfare #7. He also fought Freedom Force in Incredible Hulk #369 where he again whipped Frederik J. Dukes.
@@Walter-Anderson Thanks a lot
Thor has too
Jean, Storm nor Kitty voted to destroy the External Gate
I want jean to get her Psionic form again, when she punched Galactus in the face without the phoenix force
I want that too, but I doubt she would use that while she's on Krakoa. Both her pink form and Krakoa drain psychic energy from other people. If she uses it, she will compete with the island for those energies. That might take quite a toll on other psychics.
When was this, I remember Rachel fighting Galactus when she was with Excalibur when she wielded the Phoenix force but not Jean.
I want her to wear armor, specifically when she's in places like the icy cold of space instead of that stupid skirt!!!!!
chicken Chubbzzz she has telekinesis as such she can make shield to protect herself from the cold.
Wasn't it hope summers ? If I remember correctly Galactus gave up in that fight saying that she has endless power while his power is definite ( something along those lines)
I’m glad you covered this Rob, I watched other videos and no one else is nearly close to you as far as great content. I seen other dudes complain about it, but you my friend makes it exciting, plus give a explanation like a history lesson. So I hope you cover all 22 books, I’m excited to see how this turn out.
I like how Rob just added Mad words that Krakoa didn't say lmfaoo
I was thinking the same thing.
I feel like come 10 years this will be one of the most iconic x men sagas ever
Monet says as she's asked for volunteering " Honestly? Feels like a job I might want down the road." Is Hickman foreshadowing? Who knows might be nothing or something HUGE to tie in with Hickman's run on the X-men.
One of the text pages makes clear that Amenth is a realm, or planet, attached to Arrako. And is in opposition to the earth
Mad Jim Jaspers returning is gonna be so cool, I’m excited to see things play out
I was shocked that Apocalypse actually cried he always seemed like such a cold blooded character that just goes to show everybody has a soft spot I was also shocked to see Apocalypse taken down by his own horsemen I thought he was stronger than his horsemen so how did they take him down but I have a feeling Apocalypse will recover and he gone be savage
@@TinyMonkeyBrain actually he became stronger to me I think for once he sees how weaker people feel which will make him boss up even more & look out for himself and his kind weak or strong
@@Head_Hashira Exactly! Character development for Apocalypse, nobody *ever* dreamed of that! The shock of how his children turned for the worse will change him. But damn, I would love to see him go full out for once.
This sounds like it's gonna get epic, and my favorite mutant villain turned (seemingly) good guy Apocalypse at the front!
Powers of 10 (like exponents/scientific notation)
10 of Swords (from tarot cards)
It’s a Roman number 10: X.
So...Is Mr M still around since there's an area named "Mercator" on the map?
I fucking hope so, dude was so cool, I thought he evolved thought but it'd be awesome to see him again
isn't he dead?
@@jiten9843 not exactly. More like at that moment He became pure energy dispersing in the form of energy butterflies if I remember correctly and it was hinted at that he evolved/move on to a different means of existing. It was hinted at earlier in that story that he was already in the process of doing so prior to that moment that seemed to kill him
More excited about Mad Jim Jaspers being name dropped. Oooh the possibilities...
Him and Jim Jaspers have been named on a few white pages but have yet to make an appearance. Assuming they will both show up eventually.
...all the money in my pocket against all the money in your pocket. Always laugh when Rob says that.
Hi Rob, I think the idea of the battle where every warrior who dies is resurected to fight again the next day comes from Norse Mythology as this is what happens in Valhalla.
Also seen the story in a Star Trek DS9 episode where Sisko and senior officers with the Bajoran spiritual leader crash land on the planet where people fight to the death every day but due to the planet properties they resurect every day. If you die on the planet you can not leave as you just die. So the spiritual leader was left there as she died during the episode.
crazy inclusion of Saturnyne, such a random character with her own convoluted background.
What if suggestions:
Spiderman who laughs
Ultron led the CiS in the clone wars
Gorilla Grodd got Cerebro
Galactus devours the Star Wars universe
Joker becomes a sith
Braniac invaded Cybertron
Abeloth invades the marvel universe
Gollum got the orange lantern ring
Voldemort got a black lantern ring
Ra's al Ghul got the Mandarin Rings
Toad (marvel) got The Mask (darkhorse)
I’d like to see a what if the Sinister Six each had a infinity stone. Mysterio with reality. Rhino with power. Dr octopus with the mind.
If you are right, I am stoked to see Jim Jasper come back. I feel like his whole character was just swept under the rug 'cuz he was too powerful to do anything with. He was used as a litmus test of power, "See how strong Jim is? Well, this thing is stronger." But some cool stories could come from him because of the power level he holds.
Jim Jasper is too powerful for his own good. Same with Mr M who was also hinted at in the White pages
I love how your bets are always all the money in your pockets vs all the money in mine...bold of you to assume I have money in my pockets
"And they kill Apocalypse". Ug, again? This dude is the most powerful mutant on Earth, and he's been killed TWICE already? Dumb. This better be the story line where Apocalypse FINALLY shows his full power. Im sick of just hearing how strong he is, and never see how strong he is.
Franklin is the most powerful Apocalypse is nothing before Franklin or gentle.
@@JesusSkip I agree. But IMO, I hate those types of characters. "They can do anything they want". What kind of character is that? They go up against anything they snap their fingers and go back to bed. Dumb.
This is Krakoa. There is no death.
To be fair one death was a sacrifice and the other is at the hands of his immortal children one of which as a poison that appears to be among the most potent and another with a death stare
@@LastNameTom wasn’t Franklin depowered this year in xmen/fantastic four
26:37 I can't believe they actually nicknamed the sword "Pogg Ur-Pogg" or, as my dumb ass heard it, "pogger pog" 💀
Apocalypse CRIED?!
YO.
**lavishly faints**
Yo!!! these long videos tho.. Aside from the full stories, this is a banger!
Amenth is the name of the landmass. Arakko falls to into the world of Amenth. Purity, the White Sword is the first mutant on the scene and acts as the first line of defence between Arakko and Amenth which gives them time to create the ten towers which serve as its borders. Purity keeps up the pressure until, hundreds of years later, he no longer recognizes friend from foe and attacks not only the daemons of Amenth but the Armies of Genesis, who suffers her first defeat at the hands of the External. I love the way this story is told, it reads like a myth.
25:05 he doesn't use the sword to cut it open he uses it as a key to jump start the device... again Rob please read the story before you record
Also, It's not in the Orchis station, It's the S.W.O.R.D. Station
@@KajiXD yeah that reveal was AMAZING and their costumes on the Sword team are so sexy Marvel needs to open up some Krakoan Merch
Rob mentioned in another recent video that he has a script writer. So, at this point I'm pretty convinced that he has someone else writing the scripts and he doesn't even bother reading most of the comics. A lot of the many, many mistakes/inaccuracies that he has are really simple things that he would have caught if he'd read the book or watched the slideshow that his editor put together.
I'll take that bet, not because I'm confident I'm going to win, but because I'm confident I'm not going to lose because I have no money in my pockets XD
God, if Hickman brought back Mad Jim Jasper...I think I'd loose my mind! I reckon there's a Fury in that thing that Cyclops, Jean Grey and Cable found. Not just any Fury, but the Fury that killed Jasper.
Love all the content keep it up! Also since the rock is playing black adam I'd love to see you do a 52 black adam family to show more dimensions of a beloved figure like black adam.
Man let me tell you, let me tell you something, the way you broke that down made so much more sense than anyone else I've heard, thank you.
I wonder if Polaris going to be something big. There must be a reason why Saturnyne choose her as the prophecy.
You missed the fact that on the last page, Mad Jim Jaspers was mentioned as a ruler
I thought I was the only one who caught that.
And Mirster M.
Jesus, don’t encourage him to keep talking about Jim Jaspers...
While reading I was like: sh*t I will need rob to explain me what’s going on
Rob... you are THE MAN! your channel is what social media etc OUGHT TO BE...infinite thanks from London via Krakoa... xxx
The X-Men became what they are (the biggest super hero team hands down) thanks to big, epic events such as The Dark Phoenix Saga, Mutant Massacre, Inferno, Age of Apocalypse, Onslaught (ok, sorry), Messiah Complex, Schism, etc, etc. I hope this "X of Swords" is the BIG X-Men storyline I have been waiting for years.
Thank you for explaining this story line. Awesome
Please continue this series it’s amazing
I can't wait to see the Sword-Bearers of Arakko, especially Pogg-Ur-Pogg
what is pogg ur pogg? has it been seen before?
Little death was absolutely adorable
I was really looking forward to this video. I love hear how hyp Rob gets over good comics. It makes me happy.
I mean they stabbed Apocalypse, I don't think they killed him. He's made of stronger stuff than that.
You've made me known about johnathan hickman's writing. I believe in it. Now no matter what anyone says, his writing is king.
Just small corrections. Scott Jean and cable travel to a decommissioned S.W.O.R.D vessel not the orchid station. And cable uses the sword to jump start the power not to cut into it.
Me after having seen X of Swords and no Jim Jaspers: "All your money here, please." Lol. XD
So glad you made a 30 mins video. Can do that again :)
Excellent work rob! I watched a few other channels review of this issue and, your’s was by far superior. 👏👏👏
When Rob say "stay with me because this is going to be epic" you'd better fkng stay man hahahahaha
“Her mutant power was that she cannot loose.” Worst. Power. Ever.
🤣facts
Your forgetting dominoes power is essentially being lucky
@@redhoodgaming4816 luck makes more sense than "I can't lose". Its so ill-defined.
@@redhoodgaming4816 she still has stakes though its just that in certain situations she'll be unkillable whereas this new power of always wins seems to indecate that she takes whatever will make her victor wether thats killing betrayal etc
It's just a fancy way of saying probility manipulation. Oh well lets wait until she appears again to see the power in action
The name of Mad Jim Jaspers does appear in the white pages about otherworld. He is the regent of one of the realms (the black market or something)
Rob I need more DC comics material 👍🏾 Awesome channel 📺
Daam, X-swords came in full swing. BTW I knew from the beginning Summoner was evil the entire time .
Can’t wait to see see what happens next.😍😍😍😍
Thanks for bringing my confusion level down from a 10/10 to 7/10. Great explaining.
I am really into this, I love Summoner, and this first part is just crazy. I can't wait for more :)
Hickman is just straight up inventing a whole new world religion at this point. At very least, he is rapidly shaping up to be one of the single most defining voices in comic history since Lee and Kirby. The depth of this mythology is seriously on par with Tolkien.
Pepe Larraz killed it with the artwork on the first story for X Of Swords.
This was like watching a movie. Thanks you so much
I am here for the full coverage. Hopefully Mr Sinister gets a bit of a role later.
I liked that she “stoned” Death.
So since mutants don't die now I wanna see Apocalype's reaction when he's brought back.
Great explanation! Great channel.
Buy accident I discovered that this channel looks awesome on full screen! Try it! The art looks larger than life!
Summoner wildin’
Too bad for him, we know his weakness 😂
Love it so far
Pepe Larraz man. My goodness. His art + Hickman’s story telling was made for X-Men.
says on the charts though that mad jim jaspers is still around, can't wait for a fight to break out with him and he faces off against jaime or all the other reality warpers krakoa has.
was jim a mutant? I forgot
@@jiten9843 Yes he was an omega level mutant but he doesn´t appear in the new official omega level list.
@@alejandromilici7763 any particular reason for that?
@@jiten9843 No idea, X Man (Nate Grey) was also an omega and he is absent aswell from the list. I guess to many reality many reality manipulators.
@@alejandromilici7763 I don't really read comics so can you tell me where that list is? Which issue?
Honestly Apocalypse is such a heavy hitter with so many plans it was a bad call to not vote in support of him. Expected or not he will remember it.
He cant even conquer a planet and when he had the chance he only took over a continent in age of apocalypse, dude sucks huge godzilla ass even with that cosmic armor.
The cool thing about this story, is we finely know why Apocalypse is obsessed with survival of the fittest for this very moment of invading Aarakko.
This story is crazy good.
I love the character design of Apocolypse in this story. I also like the music @20:00. Does anyone know what it is?
Mad Jim Jaspers meeting Franklin Richards would be sick
Read this yesterday and I’m relieved you’re posting a video on it today
Genesis was also the name apocalypse gave to Cable son Tyler after he kidnapped him brainwashed him and gave him his own crew that group took the adamantium from cybers body and attempted to reintroduce it to Wolverine's body. Wolverine's body rejected it and he ended up killing the entire crew, Genesis included happened to back in the late 1990s or early 2000s in Wolverine 100
Just finished 22 yesterday...boy, what a time!!!
My favorite rob quote
"I'll bet all the money in my pockets to all the money on your pockets"
In X of Swords Creation we get to see all the Regents of the different Foul & Fair Courts. Mad Jim Jaspers is one of them....
I'm calling it now, Because Hickman has a love for Franklin, he's gonna be the one that evens the playing field. That some how that device that was found by Scott, Jean and Nathan is going to restore Franklin's power.
Mr M could be brought back too and his powers are almost as powerful
That device is the battery for the S.W.O.R.D. orbital station, nothing to do with Franklin
