Uhhhh OK

Why does it feel like Hickman's X-men got cancelled?

sigh...

it's a huge disappointment. hickman set the whole krakoa/moira/nimrod story as a "three phase arc." where hox/pox and everything after was just the first phase. however, the x-line at large began doing so well in phase one that they decided to just stay there. which is why gerry duggan came up with the new "x-men" team book. hickman wasn't about to spin his wheels / not write the story at his planned pacing, so he did inferno and left.

inferno (the event comic) comes across as a fairly rushed version of what he was perhaps setting up as phase two.

it's a pretty huge disappointment, considering that I actually don't like the majority of the x books during this time, but I do really like the hickman titles and the overall idea. so instead of having the resolution to what hickman set up, we instead are left with mid-level hacks like duggan and tini howard spinning their wheels.

I will say that immortal x-men seems to be the best out of the "new" post-hickman books, but it still feels like hickman got hostile takeovered.
