If you’re like me this stuff is a chore to slog through. If you’re reading X-Men for the Game of Thrones - Quiet Council elements. Unfortunately, the rest of the book is held back by posturing between factions and a lot of faux political intrigue. The problem here is that many of the best parts of Inferno #1 are the scenes that were literally written years ago in House of X. The moments between Mystique and Destiny are awesome and easily the best-written parts of the issue. Inferno #2 reveals how it was done without Magneto or Xavier’s knowledge. Inferno #1 reveals that Destiny is still alive. Inferno intends to resolve the longstanding plot thread involving Mystique and the resurrection of her Wife, Destiny. It ’s relevant but I’d rather focus on the titles themselves on this platform. I don’t want to get into the rumors swirling about the creative direction of these books. It was pretty clear that something had gone wrong in the X-Office and that the core concept of Hickman’s House of X had been warped. After a year of a meandering and stalled storyline, I felt myself checking out of the X-Men again. Hickman reintroduced high concept storytelling to the X-Men and also presented fresh ideas that went well beyond the constant rehashes of popular storylines that were overdone a decade ago. The House and Powers of X series were brilliant and seemed to be a jumping-on point for the comic line.
The promise of Jonathan Hickman’s X-Men inspired me to dip my toe back into Marvel Comic’s after a long layover.
