Today's tarot insights are bathed in the moonlight of Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec moon goddess. Dive deep into the messages of I The Magician (reversed), VII of Cups, and X of Swords, and see how they resonate with her illuminating tales of balance, choices, and challenges.
I decided to rethink "X of Swords" a little bit, inspired by the art of Rodrigo Lorenzo López and imagining what the fighters would look like if the tournament was in the form of mixed martial arts.
And I started with Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock.
Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain #4 Preview: THE FURY OF DOCTOR DOOM! Betsy Braddock thought she had enough fury to deal with as Morgan Le Fay brings the Forgemaster Federal and his armies to the UK. But when Britain remains unbowed, Morgan reaches for the big gun – in the form of Doom! Will Morgan’s ally of the past help her build the Avalon of her demented dreams? Or does Doctor Doom have a…

⚔️ #xofswords PRELUDE da X-Men 12 ⚔️ J. Hickman-L.F. Yu-S.Go La mia recensione che nessunə aveva chiesto. Dopo un anno di nuova gestione del parco mutanti doveva succedere, il maxi eventone che ancora non riesco a capire dove porterà ma sembra gettare le basi per una buona dose di entertainment. Ancora non si vedono le spade ma si preannunciano botte forti tra due popoli che una volta condividevano la stessa terra. Un plauso alla rimessa in questione di Apocalisse. Padre, marito, dio, mago che ok guarda al proprio ombelico ma qui sembra avere tutte le possibilità di una redenzione verso un’area più grigia dell’essere villain. Pur concentrandosi sulla storia di Arakko abbiamo comunque un punto di vista su qualche mutante noto, battute piazzate bene che si lasciano ricordare chiedendosi se non nascondano di più. Anche se non ho ben capito perché Banshee ma ok meglio lui che il solito Wolverine. Rockslide 😻 ma pure il lupetto di Unus l’intoccabile.

What are your thoughts on X of Swords: Creation. And on a related note, do you think the X-Men will be introduced to the MCU using the new Mutant Nation concept or the classic Xavier School concept.
X of Swords thoughts so far?
I mean, it’s early days yet, but I like what I see so far.
It’s very well set-up; I did a whole re-read of Excalibur right before the first issue went up, and Tini Howard has done a really good job of setting up all this sword, Otherworld, portals, sacrifice stuff. Likewise, if you go as far back as HOXPOX and X-Men #2, Hickman’s also been seeding this Arakko/Summoner stuff for a while now.
I was quite surprised at how quickly they went for some of the big reveals - that Arrako and Amenth have united against Apocalypse (and Krakoa?), that Summoner is a double agent - given that it’s a 22-issue crossover and you’d think than ten duels = ten issues.
Legion of X #9 Preview: IT’S A WILD, WILD WORLD! The rise of mutant monsters has put mutantkind on high alert as the question of “who will be next?” grows imminent. On Krakoa, a bizarre eco-technological structure has risen around Nightcralwer’s home, and Vox Ignis is on the case to figure out the origins. What he discovers has the potential to bring the foundation of the living island to its…
