Moving past Excalibur (2019) #13, Hickman brings his series back into this crossover event with a bang. The issue first and foremost offers up some much needed backstory on some of the major opposing players of X of Swords. I believe Hickman really understands Apocalypse as a character and any issue that puts him in the forefront is welcome. It's just a well paced comic that builds out the backbone of the series and has me excited for the coming battles. We can't forget the last of the required blades which are acquired here; one for Apocalypse and two for the mutant Gorgon. Mahmud Asrar I think has officially taken over art duties from Leinil Francis Yu now and he's really starting to make Krakoa his own. This comic technically marks the halfway point for this event as immediately next is X of Swords: Stasis (2020) #1. I've already read this issue (out of order I admit), so my next review will be of X-Men (2019) #14.
