How does Hickman's X-Men work compare to his Avengers" and Fantastic Four works so far? This includes sister titles and crossover events such as Future Foundation, New Avengers, Infinity and Secret Wars.

Would you say it was lacking or impressive in comparing them so far?

This is so hard , just due to the sheer difference of issues written.

HoXPoX were 12, while Avengers and F4 were full runs with 35+ issues.

Haven’t read the X-Men stuff yet, but his FF and avengers were amazing. If I had one complaint about avengers is that it seemed padded at times. But I don’t know if that’s how he chose to pace his story or if he had to take the constant marvel relaunches and events into account and couldn’t tell his story at the pace he ideally wanted to

F4 was easily his best

The first half of New Avengers was good, the other half with Infinity was meh.

I thought his X-men was sort of lacking

It's a bit hard to compare a mere 12 issues to the full runs of F4 and Avengers, but what we have had so far is amazing. If it stays this good it could definitely overtake f4 as his best.

I don't think I had seen the Xmen turned into a tried and true science fiction genre though. I mean Claremont made the Shiar, Nimrod, and AI/Aliens into the Xmen fabric- but Hickman expanded on them in terms of time travel, alternate story lines, and made Nimrod a plot element consistent with where the mutant race ends up in the near future. There are so many plot elements to unravel whether its the gradual expansion of capabilities from AI hiveminds, to the cloning that Xavier uses to question whether or not the true Xmen really even exist anymore. Its really heady and contemplative Sci-Fi writing which I've never seen anyone do in the X-men since Claremont introduced those concepts 30 years ago.

I've read his Secret Wars II arc and Avengers arc, and they're both excellently done. But they didn't capture my mind the way House of X and Powers of X did. I never thought I'd ever see such a complex Xmen storyline
