This is why we read X-men, this is why we read comics, fuck this was good.
I have the best feeling after reading this issue.
Also who the fuck let that fanatic Exodus babysit the children.
Exodus for me is the weirdest council choice, he is a powerful character sure, but I don't feel like he is a prominent leader like Xavier, Apocalypse, Magneto, Storm, Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw.
But then again the council has Kurt, I don't feel like he fits as a leader either, he has always been pushed into being a leader true, but he is one of the weakest leaders in the history of X-Men period.
The crucible is weird, it's brutality, it's ritualistic, it's probably unnecessary, but it seemed to lit a fire under Melody, she seemed to really want to be a mutant, she seemed really thankful for Apocalypse.
Yeah it's definitely going to be a weird part of this era, but the introduction the conversations, it was all just too beautiful.
Also Scott, Jean, Wolverine have the weirdest fucking relationship ever, I am really getting the vibe that wolverine is sleeping with Jean, and her husband scott knows and could be sleeping with Emma, just what the fuck is happening?!
First hint of this we got from the sinister secret, and then from the fact that wolverine is living with them, and then this conversation where wolverine is nonchalantly speaking about Jean in a bikini and asking Scott if he asked Emma right after Jean, and we know their history.
I hope they don't make this too weird, even though it already is.

So after a really good first arc we step into issue 7 and BOOM. Hickman ain't playing around.
We now see HOW our heroes are reborn. Or more, why are they reborn if they still live. Remember the moment you read "No More Mutants"? Well it comes back and we find out what happened to all those who lost their powers and what they want to do to be reborn.
This is a dark as fuck take, but I loved every moment. This is one of the best issues and most brutal.

Inizialmente ero irritato dal fatto che non si fosse proseguita la trama di Mystica, ma poi la profondità e la crudezza di questo numero hanno avuto il sopravvento.
Finora abbiamo fatto tutti delle valutazioni su cosa significhi poter resuscitare a piacere grazie ai cinque addetti. Come nell'ottavo numero di X-Force, o come con la possibiità di missioni suicide, che tanto dopo il dolore momentaneo si torna in vita.
Ma Ciclope e Nightcrawler sviscerano più a fondo la questione.
Kurt chiaramente parte da un punto di vista religioso e spirituale, dato che questa situazione mette in crisi praticamente qualunque credo oltre a far nascere domande esistenziali sull'anima: l'anima rimane in zona per essere riutilizzata? O va dove deve andare? E nel caso, allora, i "resuscitati" sono ancora loro stessi o sono persone diverse?
E poi, questo rito istituzionalizzato dal Consiglio. Il Crucible.
Il modo trovato per gestire le vittime di Wanda e del suo "No More Mutants", senza che un numero assurdo di ex-mutanti chieda in contemporanea la resurrezione.
Una cerimonia in cui il richiedente si dovrà mostrare all'altezza, dovrà mostrarsi determinato a tutto per tornare ad avere i propri poteri. Combattere alla morte con Apocalisse, che prima lo sminuirà convenientemente e che gli offrirà più volte la resa, e la cura completa delle ferite.
Una cerimonia brutale, Apocalisse non mostra pietà. Ma forgia nell'acciaio i futuri mutanti, che poi alla rinascita sono più forti, più orgogliosi di ciò che sono (e che si sono guadagnati col sangue), più combattivi.
Il massacro di Melody è stato disturbante, con Sam trattenuto da Skin perché non intervenisse.
La decisione negli occhi della sorella, la sua belligeranza fino alla fine.
E la rinascita.
Interessante come allo stesso tempo abbiamo i mutanti "civili" che vivono spensierati in paradiso, passando da una festa all'altra senza apparente soluzione di continuità, mentre chi era senza poteri viene temprato, reso acciaio.
Un po' come gli operativi, che ormai agiscono fuori Krakoa a un livello differente rispetto al passato, induriti nei confronti degli umani che pure per legge autoimpostasi non possono uccidere.
Krakoa sta diventando sempre più il punto d'incontro delle filosofie dei tre fondatori.
Convivenza (forzata e imposta, ma vabbé) con gli umani, come voleva Xavier da sempre.
Allo stesso tempo però sono separati e isolati, protetti dalla follia umana, e affatto riluttati a manifestazioni di forza per tenerli al loro posto. In stile Magneto.
E Apocalisse? Mi sembra che poco a poco stia forgiando guerrieri. Il più forte sopravvive, e lui vuole rendere più forti possibili quelli che gli passano tra le mani.
Punto d'incontro che mi pare si stia sbilanciando verso una visione... apocalittica.
(In più abbiamo gli interessanti punti evidenziati da Kurt riguardo alle volontà. Che richiamano quasi i mutanti con poteri multipli creati da Sinistro in HoX/PoX, e che chiaramente dovranno venire bloccati sul nascere. O no?)
Bello Exodus nel suo vecchio nuovo ruolo di profeta\insegnante.
Chissà cosa tirerà fuori Kurt come religione, e come unirà tutto quanto in un unico disegno...

This book gets deep. Of course Kurt wonders is it right to be brought back if they die, being a religious person. His questions definitely are needed. Then the way the Scarlet Witch event is talked about with the kids of Krakoa shows how they don’t like her. But the craziest part is when mutants die, as we all know, they are brought back to life by the 5. However, the mutants who lost their powers from house of M have a challenge first before they can be brought back with their powers. It’s called Crucible. F’ing brutal!! They really have to earn that back.

The crucible, barbaric and futuristic at the same time

Insightful and like, stuff.

Let's start an X-Men religion.
Hickman instills the questioning of religion through the lens of the aftermath of House of M. So thoroughly complex and breathe taking, readers are left to ponder how death and resurrection are going to aid and flounder in the new age of Krakoa. Pushing his narrative boundaries, the dialogue between Logan, Scott, and Kurt was a treat to read.

An intensely emotional ride. BRAVO!!!
I love it when X-Men gets philosophical, and this issue is as philosophical as it gets. The conversation between Kurt and Scott provides a running commentary and a religious / spiritual interpretation throughout the happenings of the Crucible which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Love the symbolism and mythology as well. It is no accident that Hickman chose Aero / Meredith Guthrie for this first Crucible, I believe, as the scene where she rises in the air after her rebirth is basically the mutant version of the ascension of Jesus.
Make no mistake, the mutants have started their own religion and rituals on Krakoa. You're already too late, Fuzzy Elf.

I was pleased to see that my thoughts on the possibility that the mutants resurrected might not have souls (This was an issue back when Layla Miller brought back Strong Guy). The red flag was thrown up for me on this when Nightcrawler was one of the first ones brought back. It seemed suspicious this wasn't brought up sooner since Nightcrawler is a devote Catholic. His one line in the Dawn of X stuff was , "Mutants need to bone". It would explain how some of the behavior of the characters have been a bit off. This issue also goes full in on making Krokoan society seem like a cult. This mostly revolves around how they deal with Scarlett Witch's "No More Mutants" proclamation. It shows how the moments is treated in an almost folkloresque way to children. The tipping point into full on batshit cult mode is when the solution is presented. Depowered mutants have to face Apocalypse in ritual combat where they are killed. They are then brought back repowered. I am eager to see where this goes.

This was a brilliant and brutal tale. I get the reasons, I guess, why it's happening but it seems like a very Apocalypse decision and not something the council would endorse. Ok the overload but still.....
Nightcrawlers musings were really interesting and helped expand the lore a bit, I enjoyed the Cyclops and Logan scene it was good and the general feel of it all worked well.
Good I just can't shake the feeling the Crucible was used as a cool comic tool as opposed to a logical "in universe" decision.

Slower, but a depth like only Hickman does. More psychological, even spiritual if not religious! Very intriguing to see this confine mutants world evolving and growing. I'm curious to see how far they will push this and for how long!

This issue was insightful in multiple ways, and served to further develop the characters of Scott, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler. Or the issue where Cyclops and Wolverine, and Cyclops and Nightcrawler discuss metaphysics and the itchy morality of powerless mutants fighting to the death in order to be reborn with power.
Apparently Hickman's answer to annoyingly endless love triangles is - forget that, let's just do a threesome. (There are times in which comic books remind me of fanfic, and in a good way.) Anyhow, the late night conversation between Wolvie and Scott seems to clarify the Scott-Jean-Wolverine question or Jean - Scott-Wolverine or Jean-Wolverine- Scott scenario. Which is basically that they are a threesome of sorts. Scott invites Wolvie to join his family on vacation, inferring that Wolvie will get to see Jean in a Bikini and Scott in a Speedo. Honestly, the subtext couldn't be clearer. I'm relieved. I found that love-triangle beyond annoying, and kind of out of character for all three characters at this point. Wolverine and Scott have definitely been in an odd sort of bro-romance for the past two decades, during which time Jean was dead. When she returned, they were dead for a bit.
Speeding off to more important matters -- the issue is mainly about the whole rebirth issue. Apparently Cyclops is not quite the true believer we think. And both Wolverine and Cyclops have reservations about things they don't get to vote on. They are the muscle so to speak, and if it's not a military or strategic maneuver, they don't get a vote. And while they're fine with that for the most part, they are also uneasy, admitting that they've both made their fair share of hard decisions in the past.
Cyclops conversation with Nightcrawler is less unsettling and more metaphysical in a way. But, here, he mentions the slippery slope they find themselves on. Ever the strategist, Cycke is about five steps ahead. And Nightcrawler, a priest, who struggles with issues of faith, is ever questioning. What, they wonder, happens if someone decides they want to come back more powerful than they currently are?
Such as say in the body of Magneto with his powers. Should everyone's desire be met? Cyke wonders. While Nighcrawler questions what happens to the soul, what happened to theirs when they were reborn? Was their soul with them - or is it elsewhere? What is the price? Is there one? Isn't there always.
What they are commenting on is Melody Guthrie decides to undergo the Crucible, where she fights Apocalypse to the death. With no powers, and only a sword, she dies painfully, in a gladiator arena with everyone cheering her death on. Upon her death, she's reborn with her powers, and becomes like a star - brilliant and breathtaking. Watching, Cyke and Nightcrawler see it as both disturbing and beautiful, and Nightcrawler decides he wants to start a mutant religion, while Scott wonders ...what next?

The issue that caused a rift in the community. Thanks to unscrupulous websites like ScreenRant reading way too far into a joke, the rumor was spread that not only was Jean banging both Scott & Jean (probably true, but I still believe Scott is getting cucked for his prior infidelity with Emna), but that Cyclops & Wolverine were now bisexual. This didn't really work out for anyone.
Polyamory supporters & LGBTQ+ readers were left dry when the Scott & Logan gaybaiting has to this day failed to deliver anything, not even a little ship teasing. Hell, Xavier & Magneto gave better "old married couple" chemistry whereas Logan & Scott are rarely seen together outside combat team after this.
Meanwhile, the homophobic readers took the joke way too seriously, canceled their Marvel subscriptions, subscribed to anti-Disney youtubers, harassed some of the writers off Twitter, & continue spreading the rumor on Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, Facebook, & Quora that X-Men is woke & ruined forever & people should go read manga instead, having no idea how badly they overreacted because nothing came of it.

This is one of the craziest single issues of a comic I’ve ever read. I think Hickman is at the peak of his powers right now and that X-Men is perfect for him.
This issue posed some great existential questions that we’ve ALL been thinking about since Hickman created this interesting X-World of his. I loved that. He also made it very clear that Wolverine, Jean Grey and Cyclops are all very horny for each other. What do I think of the commentary that Hickman makes about their raunchy relationship? I think it’s interesting and it makes a lot of sense considering the weird tension that’s always written into every past X-Men run.
I love how it’s subtle but still very obvious. It’s written very well.
I wish I could read all of Dawn of X right now but I’m not in a financial place to do so. Even though I can only now afford to read X-Men and Hickman’s New Mutants, (with some other exceptions), X-Men always makes me feel like I’m connected to the most important part of the dawn of x run. It’s great.

I had a hard time getting through this: to tell the truth, this series is getting a little tiresome, so I'm going to move onto something else if issue eight doesn't get better.
That being said, this is about Melody Guthrie, a mutant whose powers were stripped away. She's living on Krakoa, hoping to die and be reborn in a body that is fixed, with her powers regained. And yet, the question of if watching her die - even if they know she'll be reborn - is ethical.
Not much action, and I hope this gets better, or that I remember to come back to this.

Wow. Now that was something. Not only philosophical but profound as well. Leave it to Kurt to still be the heart of the team. Still hate that retcon of “the pretender”. Not cool Disney. To me they will always be Magneto’s children and mutants. She should not be held responsible for having a mental break. She needed help and she wasn’t able to get it in time. Quicksilver found redemption. Why not Wanda?

A theology class, X-Men style and it's not boring at all. I never imagined that the answer to the "what about the depowered mutants" question to be such an entertaining read! Krakoa is getting pretty creepy & the suggestion that they need their own religion is even creepier. Not a good feeling.
I'm interested I the foreshadowing of seeing Warlock chilling with Cypher, big time.

I dont know where Hickman is going with all this, but I think it's gonna be fun finding out. In my opinion he's doing some exceptional work here. I haven't been able to read any other X titles, but I'm gonna try to pick up the trades for a few of them. Really looking forward to checking out X-Force, Excalibur, The Marauders & The New X-Men!

For the mutants that lost their powers during House of M, a challenger/event has been offered called the Crucible. Fight to the death to be reborn with your powers. Kurt talks with Scott about this and he questions creating immortality, being a catholic himself.
Melody Guthrie, “Aero” fights apocalypse, dies, and is brought back by the five. Great issue

the crucible issue. this makes so much sense how the mutants got their powers back after “no more mutants”. the idea of life after death and religion is the theme of this whole issue. But the idea that mutants who are no longer mutants because of Scarlet Witch, can get their powers back by death, and then being resurrected as a mutant is so fucking cool.

Finally! Some answers to M-Day and some questions that needed to be asked. Also, considering this issue was about faith and the soul, it works that this is the first Dawn of X issue without a data page.

The greatest single issue comic I have ever read in my life. Almost a year on and I think about it multiple times a week. It’s a masterpiece.

It’s all coming together it’s so good 😭

As far as standalone single xmen issues go, this was pretty perfect. Mysteriously drawing you in, with this word: crucible. What is it? The issue is primarily narrated by a conversation between Kurt and scott. Apocalypse's role is perfectly chosen. I loved it all so much. Thoughtful. Also, I didn't hate the art, leinil yu's art seemed softer than it ever has to me before, I think the coloring helped it too.
Plus, Scott in a speedo as a temptation to logan.
