Any interest in an ongoing HoX/PoX discussion thread?

Full disclosure, I got the hardcover for Christmas and have read the whole story, but I'm really enjoying rereading them one at a time as they come out in the app and everything is blowing my mind again, this is definitely something to read twice. I have no one to talk about it though since all the discussion threads on r/Marvel are 6 months old!

Anyone have any burning questions/discussion points they want to go over?

One thing that I've wondered about is why were Husk and Archangel sent on the mission to the Mothermold? Just seems like weird choices.

I’d like to do the first half for the reading club once it’s out, and then when all of it is up we could do the second half! It just depends if people vote on it though, so maybe a separate discussion would work better

I read them with the Hardcover, but it's legitimately the first X-comic I've read so I'm not a very good discussion buddy ha.

I'm not sure if you've seen this - they breakdown every issue in CRAZY depth, I've been trying to re-read on MU release alongside these articles to get a new view of the series.

I have a few suggestions of older stories that make interesting context for HoX/PoX, especially Uncanny X-Men (1963) #58-59, 141-142, 209 and 255, and New X-Men (2001) #114-116 and 151-154.

I'd be interested. I also read them when they came out, but am rereading on Unlimited. The X-Men were my entry into the world of comic books back in 1994, and it's been a LONG time since I loved the new books as much as HoX/PoX.

I would love it! I read the single issues upon release and now rereading through Unlimited with the new X-Men and Excalibur series.
