Reign of X Vol. 10 by Leah Williams, Tini Howard, Simon Spurrier, Gerry Duggan

3.0

These stories were all fine and I can't really pinpoint any specific problem, but I think my fascination with the Krakoa era of the X-Men has come to an end. At this point I find I'm buying the books more out of a compulsion to keep current than out of an actual interest in the story-lines, so I think it's time to take a break. I liked the idea that Hickman had a long-game around the story he wanted to tell that had a defined beginning, middle, and end, but now that he's leaving the X-line it's all now starting to feel like spinning wheels with no real destination for me and now I think I'm ready to get off of the ride. I'll probably pick up Inferno when it comes out just to see how Hickman ends his time as Chief of X, but that's more out of curiosity than any real need or caring about what happens. Too bad, because things really did start out on an incredibly strong note, but I've lost interest in how it's all going to move forward. Took too long to get to too many of those dangling plot-threads, I guess, to the point where my attention has utterly waned, even with the two new launches in this v0lume. Again, nothing to complain about any of the stories in here, but it really does just start to feel like more and more of the same after a while regardless of how many new coats of paint they put on it.
