There are some books that have more, some that have less, but by and large I feel like if we at least try for three we end up with some fairly well-rounded discussion. Nola: I mean, I too am locked into thinking of things in this three-subject structure, so I feel you. The lesson was that Moira was possibly too concerned about Sentinels, etc and not concerned enough about the guided evolutionary destiny of posthumanity.īut in the last issue of Inferno, we get the perspective of Omega Sentinel from the somewhat near future, in which she proclaims that humans and mutants team up to defeat machinekind, eventually even destroying the machine gods that live in a black hole network. They’re meant to sort of buy time so that humanity can progress quickly while mutants have no such measures. So in HoXPoX, we learn (through mostly Moira’s perspective, but also through that of the far human Homo novissima) that machines are mostly a stop-gap measure of humanity. The fight itself is beautifully rendered by Schiti and Curiel but I wanted to get slightly into the implications of what the machines say. One of the big scenes here is Xavier and Magneto tussling with Omega Sentinel and Nimrod, who have become one of my favorite villain duos recently. Either that, or this format has poisoned my mind but, regardless that’s where we’re going to do so let’s get into it. Chris: It’s almost as if the creators of this comic were thinking of us specifically because I think it very neatly divides itself into three discussion points.
