I hope Maddie isn't gone for too long either...
FALLOUT!
The wheels have come off the Hellions bandwagon. They might all hate one another, but Nanny LOVES her latest addition! Who would be so cruel as to stomp on her happiness? It's not who you think!
PARENTAL ADVISORY

DON'T WORRY! MR. SINISTER IS FINE!
Eh, not really. And it looks like his clone is returning to Krakoa to claim the cape...and also destroy the Hellions!

WHO INVITED THE HELLIONS TO THE HELLFIRE GALA?
Who thought it was a good idea to invite the antisocial HELLIONS to the fanciest bash of the year? Oh, no one? They weren't invited but they showed up anyway? Yeah, that sounds about right.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MUTANT?
MR. SINISTER is missing! Will the Hellions be able to put aside the tensions poised to split the team apart long enough to unravel the mystery? On the upside, at least Sinister found his cape.

X OF SWORDS, PART 6
Desperation. Help from unexpected places. An advance into the unknown.
Parental Advisory
Chaos. Deceit. A hero returns.
Parental Advisory
In just 8 issues, Zeb Wells has so developed and "fleshed-out" these (mostly) unknown characters that I have a sense of familiarity with them. Their actions and dialog don't seem random or forced (e.g. when Empath turned tail and ran, I thought "F#cking Empath, there he goes again"... as if I've know this character for years). Amazing and Brilliant! Hellions has easily become my #1 X-Book. Keep umore
It was a simple mission: retrieve NANNY'S ship and create a new containment armor for the recently resurrected ORPHAN-MAKER. But the emergence of an old enemy and his deadly warriors make their renewed life a hell on Earth for the HELLIONS!
Parental Advisory
Damn... Zeb Wells is making me re-adjust my hierarchy of favorite X-Men characters. Psylocke and Havok are already up there, but the rest of the Hellions team are quickly bypassing some of the more classic/traditional X-Men (and I've been reading X-Men since the 80's).
When I care more about Orphan-Maker and his yet-to-be revealed power than I do about whether or not "old school" X-Men more
MUTANT MASSACRE!
Mr. Sinister's team of Hellions are dead. Oh, the pain! Oh, the injustice! Oh, the--wait a minute...what's Sinister really up to? The fallout from X OF SWORDS!
Parental Advisory
MAD AS HELL!
Krakoa's resident rabble are up against the grand dame of the damned - the Goblin Queen, Madelyne Pryor! Talk about a return that could raise some havoc!
Rated T+
THE DOMINANT SPECIES?
The Hellions can barely keep from killing one another, let alone find a way to fit into Krakoan society. Of course, that might be just what Mister Sinister is counting on when he sends them to clean up his messes.
Rated T+
BAD IS THE NEW GOOD!
When Krakoa opened their doors to all mutants and forgave all past crimes, they might have known they'd have to accept some of their worst foes into the fold... but they didn't plan for what to do with them. Not to worry-Mister Sinister knows what to do with the troublemakers. Meet his new Hellions: Scalphunter, Wild Child,...
THE DEADLY GARDEN!
As one of the team members struggles with their secrets unraveling, the rest of X-Force has to fight to stay alive long enough to salvage their mission.
Parental Advisory
RED DAWN!
After taking on the Flower Cartel, Logan has brought back valuable intel to the mutant CIA. The non-treaty nation of Russia is working to undermine Krakoa - and may be aligned with Xeno. Beast wants Colossus on their side as the first drumbeats of war begin to sound.

THE HIGH PRICE OF A NEW DAWN!
X-Force is the CIA of the mutant world-one half intelligence branch, one half special ops. Beast, Jean Grey and Sage on one side, Wolverine, Kid Omega and Domino on the other. In a perfect world, there would be no need for an X-Force. We're not there...yet.

THE SUMMONING BEGINS. A lead-in to the biggest X-story of the summer.
Rated T+
A satisfying finale to the Hellions' first mission. Though I do hope this isn't the last we see of Madelyne Pryor.

DAWN OF X!
The X-Men find themselves in a whole new world of possibility... and things have never been better! Jonathan Hickman (HOUSE OF X, POWERS OF X, SECRET WARS) and superstar artist Leinil Yu (NEW AVENGERS, CAPTAIN AMERICA) reveal the saga of Cyclops and his hand-picked squad of mutant powerhouses!

I originally picked up Hellions because of Psylocke and Havok with an "I'll give it a try" attitude, but DAMN - four issues later, and I'm hooked. The art and the story have been consistently on point. Any creative team that can actually make me be interested in 1980's "throwaway" villains like Nanny and Orphan-Maker are masters of their craft. Hats off to Zeb Wells, Stephen Segovia, and crew.
