Recapping X of Swords, Week 5: Excalibur #13 and X-Men #13 | This Week in X

October 22, 2020 by krisis

It’s the fifth week of X of Swords, and we’ve got a pair of issues by the events architects, Tini Howard and Jonathan Hickman.

Did Peter, Tyler, and Fariha enjoy Excalibur (2019) #13 and X-Men (2019) #13? In this episode we discuss sibling rivalry, the 180° Rule, unreliable narrators, survival of the fittest, if Apocalypse believes in life after love (we really don’t think he’s strong enough, no), and more!
