The story is meant as a tie-in to the latest D&D adventure that was recently published. Usually, these tie-ins to large adventures don't interest me at all and they tend to just be a publicity grab. However, the comics that Wizards of the Coast have published recently stand really well on their own. While I think the writing team struggled introducing the entire cast in one issue, the story has the foundation for a great adventure.

I was afraid that the challenges in the Contest of Swords was going to lose its subtlety. However, this issue brings us back to some of the interpersonal things going on within the X-men. This is because we get the option to focus on just a few characters rather than trying to give each character a moment. Because we can just focus on Wolverine, Storm, Magik, and their adversaries we get to see a lot more details that would otherwise be skipped.

The contest isn't as riveting as the previous issues foreshadowed. I am hoping that the next few issues are going to have more depth than simply a "I pass this challenge and you pass that one." I think the ideas are there but they aren't paying off quite yet within the story as a whole.

I think this may be the first issue in the event that I didn't really enjoy. I don't believe that the focus was in the right place. The creative team instead tried to feature every single character in this rather large cast of characters. This is what happens when you have nineteen sword-bearers and one host within this entire event.

This comic really shines a light on how weak some of these new protagonists are as characters. The enemy team is largely unknown and they don't have the same amount of depth as the X-Men do. Hopefully during the next few issues, we can elaborate on some of the characters a little bit. If I can't connect to most of these antagonists then what is the point. Otherwise, it is just fight scene after fight scene.

This is a great issue. The art is well drawn and coloring is vivid. But I have to applaud the writing here. They made a character that isn't really lovable a great protagonist to this event. A person who can shoulder the emotional weight of the mutant nation and balance that against his apparent love for his family. There is also the subtle hint of isolation and the negative effect it can have on the psyche; something that is prevalent within the current pandemic.

Man, I feel like the theme of family is one that I am not going to get over. Cable has been kind of a crazy title where he is dating all the Cuckoo's twins and overall being a daredevil, aggressive protagonist. He is more cautious with his family and that is fairly nice to see. This duality has incredible depth that makes me want to return to the title to explore more.

I like the X-Men crossover event as a whole but this one felt very out of place. It did not feature a mutant looking for a sword but rather a way to circumvent the rules that have been set out.

I find it hilarious that I always pick up these #1 Star Wars comics in an attempt to get a deep and personal Star Wars story and instead get a kids book.
