I wish I'd read this before X of Swords， but what's done is done。 The two issues of Excalibur here directly lead into that story， so if it's certainly best to read this first。 I still don't love Excalibur， by the way。 The two issues of X-Force feature a weird and silly class of mooks， called Russian nesting dolls: literally tiny bloody fighters burst out of the bodies of full-size henchmen， Alien style。 The actual mastermind behind the attacks is an interesting choice， but I just can't get over I wish I'd read this before X of Swords， but what's done is done。 The two issues of Excalibur here directly lead into that story， so if it's certainly best to read this first。 I still don't love Excalibur， by the way。 The two issues of X-Force feature a weird and silly class of mooks， called Russian nesting dolls: literally tiny bloody fighters burst out of the bodies of full-size henchmen， Alien style。 The actual mastermind behind the attacks is an interesting choice， but I just can't get over how silly it looks to see X-Men stomping on wee little bad guys。 The Storm issue looks great， but she's very passive in a story that's supposed to be about her。 And finally， X-Men #12 is not actually in this book， even though the summary here and on the back of the trade says it is。 This is the last Dawn of X collection， and the series will continue with Reign of X after the X of Swords story。 I feel like a lot of Dawn has been setting up stories that will happen in Reign， and I'm looking forward to seeing them get told。 。。。more

In this collected edition there is no trace of X-Men （2019） 12。A little bit desapointed。。。

You kinda have to judge these trades on the collection as a whole， sequence of the issues， and the extras。 This is the last DOX and this volume does an excellent job of highlighting some main threads leading into X of Swords。 The Giant Sized Storm may seem out of the place， but the Vault stuff plays a bigger part in ROX。 X-Force shows just how crazy cultish some mutants are getting （ F U Beast）， and the Excalibur stories set up X of SwordsThe aren't many extras and they are Storm dominant but th You kinda have to judge these trades on the collection as a whole， sequence of the issues， and the extras。 This is the last DOX and this volume does an excellent job of highlighting some main threads leading into X of Swords。 The Giant Sized Storm may seem out of the place， but the Vault stuff plays a bigger part in ROX。 X-Force shows just how crazy cultish some mutants are getting （ F U Beast）， and the Excalibur stories set up X of SwordsThe aren't many extras and they are Storm dominant but the quality is high。 There is nice black and white art from Alex Ross， and some uncolored Dauterman workHaving the DOX and ROX trades is a win win for everyone。 Disney gets their money， collectors get a nice bookshelf， and the X Universe is given a Game of Thrones type feel with different points of view that will somehow all connect 。。。more

Giant-Sized Storm: Meh。 This was already collected in the Giant-Sized X-Men trade， so kind of redundant to include it here。 Good enough story and art， but nothing I really needed to revisit。 Marauders: Shit is getting dark and I'm going to have to get some night-vision goggles because I don’t want to miss a thing。 Beast is going all Machiavellian and I couldn't love it more！ Excalibur: Much more enjoyable than I've previously found this title。 Maybe it's because I'm high， but I found these insta Giant-Sized Storm: Meh。 This was already collected in the Giant-Sized X-Men trade， so kind of redundant to include it here。 Good enough story and art， but nothing I really needed to revisit。 Marauders: Shit is getting dark and I'm going to have to get some night-vision goggles because I don’t want to miss a thing。 Beast is going all Machiavellian and I couldn't love it more！ Excalibur: Much more enjoyable than I've previously found this title。 Maybe it's because I'm high， but I found these installments to be funny and really well rendered， and I'm always a sucker for getting to see Apocalypse's back story get more fleshed out， so all in all， I enjoyed this。 。。。more

Giant-Size Storm: Cool art， story & characters。 Nice set-up for future stories。 4☆X-F0rce #11: Nice chapter， really working towards something。 3，5 ☆X-Force #12: No longer trusting your own kind gives this cliffhanger a cutting edge。 4☆Excalibur #11: Overall nice 3，5☆Excalibur #12: Don't really know what's going on with the whole coven thing。 3☆Overall: 3，6☆This being the last part of the Dawn of X lets make up the endscore for individual titlesX-Force #1-#12: 3，8☆Marauders #1-#12: 3，8☆Cable #1-# Giant-Size Storm: Cool art， story & characters。 Nice set-up for future stories。 4☆X-F0rce #11: Nice chapter， really working towards something。 3，5 ☆X-Force #12: No longer trusting your own kind gives this cliffhanger a cutting edge。 4☆Excalibur #11: Overall nice 3，5☆Excalibur #12: Don't really know what's going on with the whole coven thing。 3☆Overall: 3，6☆This being the last part of the Dawn of X lets make up the endscore for individual titlesX-Force #1-#12: 3，8☆Marauders #1-#12: 3，8☆Cable #1-#4: 3，7☆X-Men: Empyre #1-#4: 3，5☆Excalibur #1-#12: 3，4☆X-Men #1-#11: 3，3☆Hellions #1-#4: 3，3☆Wolverine #1-#6: 3，2☆New Mutants #1-#12: 3，1 ☆X-Factor #1-#3: 2，6 ☆Fallen Angels#1-#6: 2，5☆Overall score Dawn of x #1-#16: 3，3☆ 。。。more

This was a great book， way better than the last few volumes。 The art work alone is amazing。

Terrance ，

Being a huge Storm fan， this Giant Size X-Men devoted to her did her a disservice。 She is the passive agent of the story， not an active one。 Not much happens in this issue。 Why hype it as its own entity？ The rest is serviceable， but perfunctory at best。 Looking forward to see how Reign of X hopefully does something a bit different。

The final volume of Dawn Of X is the first volume where I felt a little lost。 I couldn't remember what led to the Giant Sized Storm issue。 I had only a vague recollection of the X-Force storylines that preceded this。 And the whole Excalibur storyline has been largely disinteresting to me since Dawn Of X started。Oh， and it mentions on the back that this volume contains X-Men #12。 It does not。 The minutae in the front and the listing of issues on the back cover both plainly mention that this book The final volume of Dawn Of X is the first volume where I felt a little lost。 I couldn't remember what led to the Giant Sized Storm issue。 I had only a vague recollection of the X-Force storylines that preceded this。 And the whole Excalibur storyline has been largely disinteresting to me since Dawn Of X started。Oh， and it mentions on the back that this volume contains X-Men #12。 It does not。 The minutae in the front and the listing of issues on the back cover both plainly mention that this book contains X-Men #12。 This isn't true。 So someone send some caffeine and a resume to Marvel's trade editorial staff。 I understand that this whole Dawn Of X project containing two issues of this X-title and one issue of this maybe related X-title can be confusing。 But you should probably make sure your table of contents matches what's inside the book。The stories， themselves are all okay。 They're clearly building up to the X Of Swords storyline which will transition the Dawn Of X stories to the Reign Of X stories。 I'm not super excited for it because it's about swords， and it's going to lean heavily on the Excalibur mythology， and neither of those are the reasons I read X-books。But the Giant Sized Storm， including Monet， Douglock， Emma Frost， and Fantomex was intriguing and fun。The X-Force story reintroduces a 90s villain whom I always enjoyed， and can't believe I didn't realize was going to play a part in this era of X-Men。 I like what they've done so far with the story， and look forward to seeing how it folds into X-Of Swords。I skipped most of the Excalbur story。 I hope， someday， that Rogue， Gambit， Apocalypse， Jubilee， and Psylocke end up in another part of the Krakoan X-Universe because I really enjoy the characters but， after the first twenty or so issues， Chris Claremont's British Magic Wet Dreams just don't， in any way， appeal to me， and Tini Howard hasn't managed to win me over by mining that section of X-history。I still， as a whole， have appreciated reading the X-books as Dawn Of X， as opposed to reading X-Men Vol 1-3， Excalibur Vol 1-3， New Mutants Vol 1-3， Cable Vol 1， Wolverine Vol 1， X-Force Vol 1-3， X-Factor Vol 1， Marauders Vol 1-3， Fallen Angels， the Empyre tie-ins， and the Giant Sized X-books。 I am intrigued to see how the Reign Of X books will fare after the X Of Swords hardcover。 。。。more

The series continues with all of the good and bad that that entails。 The overall plot moves along at a glacial pace or disappears entirely but the best writers manage to turn the new status quo into something really interesting。Liked Wolverine and X-factor best this time around。

As always with these books， a mix of good and not-so-good。 Next up: X of Swords。。。
