What is making Hickman’s House/Powers of X so remarkable is that he is masterly showing Mutant Culture and what is at stake should they fail. He has approached X-Men philosophically and it’s absolutely brilliant. I don’t know another comic that is doing this...well, accept for Kemet Comics. 😁
"I am immortal, and i have no end. And should forever end, let me die in battle, surrounded by my fallen enemies and with blood on my sword."- APOCALYPSE THE MUTANT SAVIOR
No X-Men...you shouldn't use that term because those were heroes and heroes are a dirty word in today's comics evidently. The correct term is Mutant Species
@@BlerdWithoutFear I agree, tbh I don't think it was ever a question of how strong he was but more how his philosophy lined up. I mean, he's l had some outrageous fights as an xmen villain
Damn it broke my heart when Moira told Logan, "This is what you do." Wolerine told Peter Parker, "I'm not great with the women in my life. I either tell them I love them or I kill them.... Sometimes both. That's why I am the best at what I do and what I do ain't nice. "
And that was Claremont, from 1987's Spider-man vs Wolverine maybe? Too bad the X-Men are no more and only the MUTANT SPECIES is left! No heroes, just a bunch of segregationists sitting around doing nothing positive!
Cool. I knew about the issue since the 80's but it was only recently I bought it in a back issue bin at a con. Just read it within the last year or so. Seem to remember that line. Need to pull it out of the collection and look at it again!
Really don’t think Apocalypse should have been man handled as such. Also in this universe Xavier and Magneto are dead so wolverines loyalty has known no other but apocalypse so that’s why he feels bad about leaving.
I don't think he was even fighting to win just keep nimrod busy. He probably knew his timeline would be erased regardless. I agree apocalypse with that celestial tech should even be beyond nimrod.
"APOCALYPSE the mutant immortal. Older than the world The fittest of all. How sad this must be, to know that natural selection has brought you here." NIMROD
It's interesting to see how Marvel has finally found a starring spot for Moira, after all these yrs. I wonder if any of this will trickle into the MCU whenever they start making X-men movies? 🤔 Moira's "quantum leap"-like powers are very interesting, they remind me a bit of Layla Miller's abilities, because they both "know stuff". I could see them being used in movies somewhat like "time travel" in a storyline reminiscent of "Days of Future Past".
@@BlerdWithoutFear Of course. I was talking about later down the road. The X-men already have so many great stories they need to do & redo right. And I wouldn't call "Days of Future Past"-like type storylines "weird". 😆 It could be used to retcon things or even reboot the franchise (so long as it's not mishandled like the FoX-men did). I personally hope they adapt the: Xavier Protocols, Onslaught, Legion's Quest, & AoA storylines, to better focus on Xavier & Magneto's connection.

There are three nimrod Nimrod the Elder, Nimrod the younger and Nimrod the Lesser. Three different constructs three different personalities to allow different viewpoints of a problem ,all working together
@@jd6473 and what has that heroism got them? the entire point of moira exploring all the dystopian outcomes of a lack of mutant unity is the failure of both magneto and charles's dreams as well as the near eradication of their species. to wit it seems like if they hadnt challenged the status quo by exerting some leverage over the rest of the world via krakoa seeds, while simultaneously maintaining a sanctuary they would be unable to allow their numbers to thrive. fighting for a world that hated and feared them was pyrrhic at best and quixotic at worst... With krakoa, they hopefully have learn from the failures of genosha, asteroid m, avalon, san francisco, westchester, the Massachusetts Academy and Utopia. cmon show a little good faith man, the stories are... evolving
Mannnn... hearing the dialog between Nimrod and Apocalypse over that instrumental got me so gassed up on feelings, I'm over here ready to flip cars and smack randoms who look at me side-eye while yelling, *"AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME NUTHINNN"*
HAIL APOCALYPSE!!! HAIL EN SABAH NUR!!! THE MVP AND MUTANT SAVIOUR. Ok I'm going to stop now lol. Nimrod got buff as hell trashing apocalypse like that 😲😲. but still went out with a blaze of glory like a true xmen fighting till death with no fear . You got my respect apocalypse even more than before shout out to my boy wolverine for doing what he does best and needs to be done.
Hey, put some respeck on Dr. Martin Luther King Apocalypse!!! Dude, Apocalypse was out ehre like "Don't act like I ain't run my fair share of fades too, my ninja!"
Ya'll need to look at the cover of the next HOX to see who the strike team on Orchis is going to be: Cyclops. Marvel Girl, Wolverine, Monet, Nightcrawler, Archangel, and I can't tell who the blond girl is. It might be Paige Gutherie. I CANNOT WAIT!
Dude, Hickman just has that special touch with his story telling! He literally brought me into a flashback of reading old x-men comics when they were in their golden years!.... This ish is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! 😁👍🏾
Hickman is amazing. There's a reason why he's nicknamed the American Grant Morrison. Basically Moira's plan is to use the information on Nimrod to appeal to machine's humanity (man's replacement) to co-exist. I never thought of it that way but it makes sense Mutant and Machine are constantly evolving. Man is stagnant.
Johnathan Hickman has created a masterpiece that has completely restored the Mutants’ place in the Marvel universe. Also, love how he answers several questions we have had over the years like Omega Level Mutants and Apocalypse’s External status.
@@BlerdWithoutFear Honestly, we aren't predicting nothing 😂 Hickman just throws gigantic game-changing surprises at us almost each number while being coherent and true to the X-Men everytime. Mind-blowing run so far
Call me slow. Call me simple....buuut THIS was the issue where everything CLICKED for me. It all makes sense now. All the spinning plates and dangling questions...they weren’t necessarily answered but I can see the path we’re going on. Now, I just pop some popcorn and enjoy the ride. AMAZING. 10/10.
Hulk Smash Hickman for writing such a complex and deeply engaging story, setting up the direction of the mutants going forward once these arcs are wrapped up and the X-Men/Mutant relaunch hits the comic book stores near us.
Hickman deserves a Pulitzer Prize for this writing. It might be the best story of X-men in the last 30 years. Every book is a mind warp. And the art is phenomenal. With 1 year of this awesome writing you can reboot the X-Men movies with a cult following via the comix.
Powers of X/House of X have been soooo good! Powes of X with the futuristic suicide mission and the interaction between Nimrod and Apocalypse was dope! I'm loving this so far. Thank you Hickman for breathing life into the X-Men.
Blerd Without Fear I was done with marvel doing the X-men the wrong way but when I was told Jonathan Hickman was going to reboot them take my money all in
I just figured out what's really going on! You know we haven't seen the Danger Room in any of this! Moira is in the Danger Room playing out all these possibilities and only thinks she's being resurrected!
@@BlerdWithoutFear I've been an X-Men fan since I picked up Uncanny X-Men 232,.....(of course I picked up all the back issues I could) This series is far,& away the most intriguing I can recall. The ending had better be as spectacular as these first five books. The art, and storytelling is superb.
I think i am beginning to understand the premise of this series. What we are seeing is something of the layers of the onion. this is kind of a "What Might have been IF" things proceeded. Moira has been doing mid-=stream course corrections, by dying and resetting herself back to square one. This is getting to the point where the new series will take over and we will see the final version, do or die, of what is. No more resets.
Blerd Without Fear I’m going to sit here and call it right now Xavier is Cassandra Nova. At first I thought I was gonna be the maker and then I thought maybe Charles was really trying something new here. But ever since I heard that Johnathan Hickman is a fan of Grant Morrison’s run back in 2001 and I heard everything that’s happened last 15 years is gone as it was under the ‘Lost Decade’. He seems to be reusing some characters and themes from that time and I think it would be really criminal if he left out because Cassandra Nova. Oh, with all these new titles coming out I’m surprise we haven’t seen a new X-Factor book(I wonder if this means no more government sponsored mutant teams).
I've been posting this to different vids and i think it applies to this one. Awesome vid! A few things that amazes me about this series: 1. Hickman, in only about five weeks, has created arguably endless possibilities of future stories to tell. With the backstories alone I can imagine different story arcs based on the Moria Timelines. 2. How cool is it that Hickman has Moria the most important character in the Marvel Universe? Just think if She dies in Year Ten, and gets an 11th Life that could change a lot again...or not. Either way it is interesting. It's like Hickman just made "Retconing" an actual COOL Mutant ability. Maybe Moria's name should be "Retcon X😂?" Very awesome stuff. 3. I listened to another TH-camr's vid and He brought up "The Summer's Rebellion" from Bishop's future. Could the Dawn of X "X-Men" team (that is full of Summers folks with the exception of Jean and Logan), be exploring a "Summer's Rebellion" of some sort. And could that team of X-Men be based in the Blue Area of the Moon where a Krakoa seed was planted? Hmmm... I'm also looking at the numbers. Moria dies in year 123 of Her ninth Life. Add 1, 2, and 3, You get ....6. Hmmm... Lastly, 9th Moria (or Akkaba) had been in stasis in Thebes being fed all the information since I assume She first got put there. I wonder if Xavier's "Cerebro" has been getting all of this information as well? Love these books!!! How cool is this version of Apocalypse, though. I agree that You can't really classify him as a typical Villain (despite some of the villainous things he's done). I think this story speaks a lot about his Survival of the Fittest belief. When I saw the future solicitations and saw that he was part of a team at first I was like, "naaah" but as this story progressed it became more believable. I can see him siding with Xavier and Magneto being that Mutants are...for once...actually FIT. What I Love mostly about this version of Apocalypse is that he is STILL En Sabah Nur! He was Born loooooong before Moria and I can see how even HE would evolve. I also think its telling that "War" more than likely is Wolverine proper---meaning that he wasn't "turned" or took an "Apocalypse Seed." The interactions between Logan and him are honestly some of the best in forever...even if it was only a few panels in a few issues including this one.
So I have a theory for the missing 6th life...! Hear me out 😊 So this run of House of X & Power of X (10) has lots of numerical themes, Moria's ten lives... The 4 time lines were following, & in those ten lives of Moria were missing the 6th life. Keeping in line with the numerical/numbers theme, there just so happens to be 6 X-Men spinnof titles. I believe those 6 titles/teams will Moria's 6th life. What do you think x
No sir I really like your channel I just found it a couple days ago so I'm really I love you I just love your channel because you're I don't care your age but I'm 54 years old I've been reading an experiment for 40 years to me this is the most exciting thing since the Phoenix saga if some words come out wrong it's cuz I'm using the mic because my hand is paralyzed so thank you
I’ve watched every video of house Nd powers Nd you def keep me the most interested well with this story u can’t help but be interested but I like yours the most had to subscribe can’t wait til powers 6
Question. I didn't read the comic but does it actually show him die? He appears doomed, but does it actually show him dead? Also since Apocalypse's mutant power is to add technology to himself, shouldn't he have been able to add Nimrod's technology to himself in order to become more powerful?
Have you seen that HOX or POX with Apocalypse kissing Moira Mactaggert? After watching this and hearing what you said about Wolverine and Apocalypse relationship. I’m convince that the real reason he stayed behind is so he didn’t have to kill Moira.
Apocalypse had nothing left to live for with Moira dead. The 9th lifetime X-Men sacrificed themselves to help save the NEXT lifetime. It’s the long game the machines didn’t anticipate
"All Human are slaves. It's only when we embrace our fallen nature and accept their dominance that one can truly understand the message of our masters." "Hear their words! You must reject your humanity! Every last shred of it. Most of all you must reject the human heretics who still believe that mankind can improve on our flawed design." -The Cardinal of The Church of the Ascendancy. Since 2126 Now lets leave fiction, do you dont see like Hickman run speak about our future IA-Robot -Human relation? The only thing that matter me is amazonian rain forest which the first reserve of oxygen in the world burn and what about the Congo basin rain forest are we designated to go extinct?
@@relly793 Apocalypse has had turds harder to flush than Juggernaut. Honestly, just about any heavy in the Marvel Universe can wipe their ass with Juggernaut.
Is it just me or has Wolverine been getting taller over the years. Comic appearance wise not story wise. He used to be 5'3 max, Now he looks like he's getting close to hugh Jackman height
The biggest flaw so far is with all these reincarnations, with all the geniuses among the mutants, someone should have learned reverse engineer the nimrod nanotech/ 'AI' that could neutralize the Nimrod program. AI is inevitalbe, and there should be multiple sectors: humans, cyborgs, Nimrod/Sentinels, Mutants/Avengers, Supercyborgs (mutants or heroes that 'choose" to mix body/minds with AI). A genetically and nanotech enhanced Apocalypse will handle Nimrod any day ... or at least neutralize it. How many lifetimes do the Xmen need to put together the minds of Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Reed Richards, Dr. Doom, to put together an alternative nanotech program that could fuse / integrate with genetically enhanced mutants?? Mutants should seek more power over time (vis a vis dragonball) as there are more than enough omega mutants out there. Perhaps this is what the Celestials had in mind from the beginning...for their creations to seek a celestial power/perfection over time? Maybe fusing nanotech with omega level genetic mutants can achieve this over 1000s of years
What is making Hickman’s House/Powers of X so remarkable is that he is masterly showing Mutant Culture and what is at stake should they fail. He has approached X-Men philosophically and it’s absolutely brilliant. I don’t know another comic that is doing this...well, accept for Kemet Comics. 😁
Yes, it's about the MUTANTS and NOT the X-Men, because who wants to read about heroes saving the world?
It’s mutants saving themselves....and the world
This is officially my favorite X-Men storyline
I think Hickman seriously just dropped an instant classic on us. Still a little too early to say it out loud, but fuck it... I'm saying it 😂😂😂
"I am immortal, and i have no end.
And should forever end, let me die in battle, surrounded by my fallen enemies and with blood on my sword."- APOCALYPSE THE MUTANT SAVIOR
Damn right. Put some RESPECK on his name!
Sounds like lyrics straight out of an Amon Amarth album
Lol I commented this and nimrods quote on comic book university channel Tuesday at midnight. Great quote although I said external not savior.
Yes bro he always been about that life as an eternal yeah bro
Literally
Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Saved me from my Own sins and Amen and Amen!
Apocalypse savior of the mutantkind
I'm ready for the good word of Dr. Martin Luther King Apocalypse.
@@BlerdWithoutFear LMFAO!!
Words I never thought I’d agree with
Apocalypse gain my respect with this issue. Jonathan Hickman is doing it so right for the X-Men. I'm really excited for the next issue.
I think this is how you book a character like Apocalypse. Hickman's run so far has been everything I hoped and more
@@BlerdWithoutFear I agree man.
Next there are two issues of house of X back to back. Then powers of x.
No X-Men...you shouldn't use that term because those were heroes and heroes are a dirty word in today's comics evidently. The correct term is Mutant Species
a longer battle would have been nice. To show why Apocalypse is the leader and has been around for so long.
Maybe, but I think Apocalypse has been around long enough, we should all know why
@@BlerdWithoutFear I agree, tbh I don't think it was ever a question of how strong he was but more how his philosophy lined up. I mean, he's l had some outrageous fights as an xmen villain
Apocalypse was holding back because, like Logan said, there is nothing left to save on that world, so its useless
Sword and shield were called for in that situation or maybe dual scimitars.
Damn it broke my heart when Moira told Logan, "This is what you do."
Wolerine told Peter Parker, "I'm not great with the women in my life. I either tell them I love them or I kill them.... Sometimes both. That's why I am the best at what I do and what I do ain't nice. "
Shit was something serious. Hickman delivered that set of lines perfectly. Hickman and Silva are a match made in heaven
And that was Claremont, from 1987's Spider-man vs Wolverine maybe? Too bad the X-Men are no more and only the MUTANT SPECIES is left! No heroes, just a bunch of segregationists sitting around doing nothing positive!

Right??? How has he not been done right in a movie yet???
Apocalypse and wolverine are my favorite marvel characters🔥🔥

Guess now's a better time than ever to fast track the X-Men into the MCU! 😂😂😂
@@BlerdWithoutFear indeed
No sir I really like your channel I just found it a couple days ago so I'm really I love you I just love your channel because you're I don't care your age but I'm 54 years old I've been reading an experiment for 40 years to me this is the most exciting thing since the Phoenix saga if some words come out wrong it's cuz I'm using the mic because my hand is paralyzed so thank you
Fam. I read it myself and your breakdown of tyre little things is exactly what I noticed. "This is what you do." And the Apocalypse lines... Bruh!
I haven't been this excited about a story in a long time. Thanks for sharing . Loven this shit
Bruh, that shirt though. Two thumbs up.
Thank you! I love me some Bebop
@@BlerdWithoutFear I hear that. I'd like to Cosplay as Jet sometime....
You broke that down with excellence!...really gave me clarity..thanx
Mind-Blown🤤 Powers of X issue 3
Hickman dropping that good ish
This is like comicstorian 2.0 lol. I never noticed how dramatic it is before
Great call!! I thought Famine was Black Tom Cassidy.
Blerd...... I think I love you! !!! All hail Apocalypse
Moira should be called Save point
Ha, unfortunately she's only got 1 left. And they're using it lol
....if you can die Apocalypse....then you ARE NOT IMMORTAL!
I really hope we find out Ultron is the puppet master behind all of this!
The craziest thing is that all we have seen so far of these former Moiras lives is that this is her 9th life.
Who would have thought that the Big A would get whacked by Nimrod in order to ensure survival of the fittest.
If someone told me this would happen 20 years ago I'd have laughed them out of the building... and now here I am a grown ass man and shook 😂😂😂😂
The difference between the humans as a whole and the mutants is that in the year 1000 the mutants want to ascend.
Bang...
You're gonna carry that weight.
Always. Just gotta knock a little harder 😁
@@BlerdWithoutFear much love my brotha
Salaam. I had to come back to this because it was just so good.
That could be Apacolyps Jr.
1st Thank you for turning me onto skyblew, he's amazing! 2nd I love this video. Thank you for this! Keep up the great work dude!
I’ve watched every video of house Nd powers Nd you def keep me the most interested well with this story u can’t help but be interested but I like yours the most had to subscribe can’t wait til powers 6
Hickman must also be a Mass Effect fan. Cycle of A.I. rising...ring any bell?
This is just an awesome series. Period!
Hands down. Instant classic. I'm calling it right now!
Another hit can't wait to read number 3
Question. I didn't read the comic but does it actually show him die? He appears doomed, but does it actually show him dead? Also since Apocalypse's mutant power is to add technology to himself, shouldn't he have been able to add Nimrod's technology to himself in order to become more powerful?
Have you seen that HOX or POX with Apocalypse kissing Moira Mactaggert? After watching this and hearing what you said about Wolverine and Apocalypse relationship. I’m convince that the real reason he stayed behind is so he didn’t have to kill Moira.
Apocalypse had nothing left to live for with Moira dead. The 9th lifetime X-Men sacrificed themselves to help save the NEXT lifetime. It’s the long game the machines didn’t anticipate
Great video! Go Ernie!
Thank you, David! Glad you enjoyed it!
You got to remember this is year 9 for Mora and year 9 she woke apocalypse up killed Charles Xavier killed Magneto and made the X-men with apocalypse
That she did! All to get this point. I'm pretty sure Charles and Magneto know, too
Mutant Terminators are coming!!! Great vid again, man
Norm: wasted
Omega sentinel: GOT’EM
"All Human are slaves. It's only when we embrace our fallen nature and accept their dominance that one can truly understand the message of our masters."

Now lets leave fiction, do you dont see like Hickman run speak about our future IA-Robot -Human relation?
The only thing that matter me is amazonian rain forest which the first reserve of oxygen in the world burn and what about the Congo basin rain forest are we designated to go extinct?
I've seen Ghost in the Shell. Its not a perfect world 😂😂😂😂
@@BlerdWithoutFear hello man how are you see Nimrod like i think some kind of toy with a human soul lol
@@malimbaproudsonofkrakoa6636 I'm not fully understanding you, but I will say Nimrod is likely infused with Xavier's mind. If thats what you're asking
Dope vid! What beat is playing in the background, the first one that is?
This is a CLASSIC
This dude loves the sound of his own voice
Truly well done review
I wasn't too surprised about the outcome of the Apocalypse/Nimrod fight. After all Nimrod defeated Juggernaut one on one
I wasn't surprised by the outcome. I was surprised by the sacrifice itself
ugh apocalypse shits on juggernaut tho
@@relly793 Apocalypse has had turds harder to flush than Juggernaut. Honestly, just about any heavy in the Marvel Universe can wipe their ass with Juggernaut.
Well Juggernaut at that time wasn't a jobber.
@@BlerdWithoutFear same here. Apocalypse must have gone through a lot of life changing stuff
Damn!!!💥 Awesome commentary!!! 🤘😎
Good job thanks for the break down bruh
Awesome story line Thor author should take notes
Pure AWSOMENESS 🤯
So good!!!! 5 issues into House and Powers and this is already an instant classic
@@BlerdWithoutFear absolutely. This Xmen title has upped the ante by a factor of X (TEN). Pun intended
Yeeeeeeeeahhhhhh this number is fire.
Excellent story telling as usual....
Plusss ullltrraaaaa!
Is it just me or has Wolverine been getting taller over the years. Comic appearance wise not story wise. He used to be 5'3 max, Now he looks like he's getting close to hugh Jackman height
thank allah that era is OVER!!
The biggest flaw so far is with all these reincarnations, with all the geniuses among the mutants, someone should have learned reverse engineer the nimrod nanotech/ 'AI' that could neutralize the Nimrod program. AI is inevitalbe, and there should be multiple sectors: humans, cyborgs, Nimrod/Sentinels, Mutants/Avengers, Supercyborgs (mutants or heroes that 'choose" to mix body/minds with AI). A genetically and nanotech enhanced Apocalypse will handle Nimrod any day ... or at least neutralize it. How many lifetimes do the Xmen need to put together the minds of Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Reed Richards, Dr. Doom, to put together an alternative nanotech program that could fuse / integrate with genetically enhanced mutants?? Mutants should seek more power over time (vis a vis dragonball) as there are more than enough omega mutants out there. Perhaps this is what the Celestials had in mind from the beginning...for their creations to seek a celestial power/perfection over time? Maybe fusing nanotech with omega level genetic mutants can achieve this over 1000s of years
what do you think, can Cypher/Krakoa also get out via the portal?
if not, how about getting in that fight to assist Apoc !?!?!
I think he went with it. But yeah, he could have at least thrown one hand to help Apoc 😂😂😂
Dope issue, dope review
Great video you've been doing your thing when you get the time read Donny's newest chapters of Guardians of the Galaxy and Silver Surfer black
Thank you! I've been paying attention to Cate's GotG and Surfer joints. I will definitely be discussing more of those soon
Nice stuff!!
Awe inspiring

That shirt tho!
