  I usually dread at the non-Hickman numbers, but this was OK. it's a filler, but it wasn't half bad.

  There's no more Hickman issues, it should be Brisson solo now :(

  In my opinion, Brisson's not very good at writing these younger mutants, the stories should be brighter and not so tense.

  So Hickman writes the space adventures and Brisson the Krakoa stories? I’m guessing I need to pick up next months X-Men isssues? As they look like they are tie ins? (I’m confused but really satisfied with this issue)

  I believe Hickman was just on board for those space issues to set up some things. The next several issues are written by Brisson and it looks to stay that way. There aren't really tie ins with the Dawn of X books. They all inform each other.

  After the dumpster fire that was X-Force #8, I was concerned my frustrations there would transfer to this issue. Thankfully, it's another solid Brisson issue (see, cause his are the good ones and Hickman's are the bad ones, some of you are so confused). The art wasn't the best, but there were some really good moments. It's right on par with most of Marvel's mediocre artistic output of the last 5-10 years.

  The two creative teams working on alternate issues is a bit of a gamble. Most people seem to prefer one over the other. So will sales sustain long term if the readers get divided and prefer one over the other that they don’t want to read both. Or is this something new that could keep team books fresh?

  The assumption is Brisson is on from here on out. But, yeah, it was a weird play by Marvel. I was trying to figure out if I could get my shop to just order the Brisson issues, but that would be too much a pain for them, so I then had to think if I was just going to drop it because I HATE the Hickman issues. Or, third option, get them all and then try and sell the Hickman issues off. Hopefully, I don't have to figure that out now, but that seems like a dumb position to put readers in.

  Yes I do wonder what the long term plan is here
