Dawn of X Review: HiX-Men Report’s Favorite Moments & Characters

September 23, 2020 by krisis

As we gear up to dig into X of Swords: Creation tomorrow(!), Fariha, Tyler, and I talk about our favorite moments of Dawn of X, top characters, and a certain open bedroom situation.


(watch on YouTube)

What was your FAVORITE moment of Dawn of X? And, what characters have really shined for you? Tune in tomorrow for our deep dive into the first issue of X of Swords!

Want to relive the deepest dive into HOXPOX on the entire internet? In 2019 we recorded nearly 24hrs of content covering House of X and Powers of X (with me providing musical interludes for most of the episodes) on The HiX-Men Report.

The return of THIS WEEK IN X, every week during X of Swords!

September 21, 2020 by krisis

I’m SO EXCITED to announce that Fariha, Tyler, and I are bringing back my weekly series “This Week in X” to dissect the massive X of Swords event every week on YouTube starting this Thursday!

(We might even eventually see Zach make his return from the resurrection protocols. I’ve been assured top men are on it.)

Want to know as soon as we publish our first episode? Subscribe to my YouTube channel now! To get warmed up, we’ll discuss some of our favorite parts of Dawn of X tomorrow before we dig into X of Swords on Thursday.

September 18, 2020 by krisis

Join 3/4ths of the reformed HiX-Men Report – Peter, Fariha, & Tyler – as we catch up for the first time in nearly a year to discuss our favorite elements of Dawn of X. We’ll talk about what we loved the most from the end of HOXPOX to the beginning of X of Swords, including each of our favorite series from the line.

Want to relive the deepest dive into HOXPOX on the entire internet? In 2019 we recorded nearly 24hrs of content covering House of X and Powers of X (with me providing musical interludes for most of the episodes) on The HiX-Men Report.

The HiX-Men Report: Powers of X (2019) #6

October 12, 2019 by krisis

All good things must come to an end and, sadly, so must the HiX-Men Report. Watch our parting shot at Jonathan Hickman’s X-Men epic.

What did we think about the one last reveal that opened this issue? And, is the franchise now destined for better things thanks to Hickman?

The HiX-Men Report: House of X (2019) #6

October 4, 2019 by krisis

It’s the final issue of House of X! The X-Men have a major celebration, but did the HiX-Men Report think this was fully satisfying or just fan service?

The HiX-Men Report: Powers of X (2019) #5

September 27, 2019 by krisis

After a contentious week last week, The HiX-Men Report returns to a more harmonious state with Powers of X (2019) #5.

This episode was a lot of fun to record! We were in a more cheerful disposition in general, plus how can you go wrong with an issue centered on a few of these deliciously snarky characters. Also, I got to deliver a “Peter’s Art History Corner” about my favorite work of art in the entire world! Plus, Fangirl gave us a major history lesson.

Oh, and I found a reason to unpack my electric guitar…
