Darrell reviewed Powers of X #5 Sep 25, 2019
A world-building issue, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it seemed a little disjointed. Of course, that's probably by design, but I'm still going with a 9.5 instead of the whole magilla. A couple of stray thoughts:
Is it just me, or was Xavier giving off a sinister (no pun intended) vibe during those scenes with Forge?

As Cerebro does as it was intended to do, Sinister does what Sinister does best and the future comes to an end. Superstar writer Jonathan Hickman (FF, NEW AVENGERS, INFINITY) continues his reshaping of X-History alongside breakout artist R.B. Silva (UNCANNY X-MEN). The Future of the X-Men begins here!

I've been reading comics for over 40 years. I honestly cannot remember the last time I was this excited to see how a story was going to turn out in the end.

As a long-time X-Men reader, I've been really excited by Hickman's take on the team and its mythos. The story in HoX and PoX is the first time in a long time that I've considered any book a "must read."
This issue was a gut punch in some ways, although I'm pretty sure that we're going to see that graphic of Moira's past lives come into play with regard to everything that went down. more
