Recapping X of Swords, Week 7: X-Men #14 and Marauders #14 | This Week in X

November 5, 2020 by krisis

Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariha as we dissect the seventh week of X of Swords from 4 November, 2020 – X-Men (2019) #14 and Marauders (2019) #14.

They’re the 12th and 13th chapters of X of Swords, but does it feel like we’re really more than halfway through this mega crossover event? Tyler brought the receipts on the panel-by-panel breakdown of X-Men #14, we discuss repetition as a storytelling device, and we debate all of the dinner-party interactions in Marauders #14.
