Note: Knights of X has not been solicited for September. Whether it concludes at #5 as previously informed by Amazon.com or is only skipping a month remains to be seen.
Judgment Day #4, Immortal X-Men #6, X-Men Red #6, Marauders #6, Legion of X #5 and X-Terminators #1 have all been rescheduled and pushed back from prior months.

A.X.E.: Judgment Day #5 (of 6) |

Immortal X-Men #6 Judgment comes and the Quiet Council grows suspiciously quiet. An exception:
Do you think a man so devoted to the Hellfire cares one jot? Let’s find out. |
|
|
X-Men Red #6 Planet Arakko chose peace over war. Now war has chosen them. The monstrous
arsenal of the Eternals is on the march. The Arakkii must defend their broken
land according to the ancient laws… but against an enemy even older than they
are, can the old ways win? Or is a new Arakko about to be born? |

X-Men #15 The Children of the Vault – hyper-evolved humans from a society whose time
moves much faster than our own. Each time the X-Men defeat them, they retreat
to their home, evolving further to a new, more advanced generation. This
time, they will not be stopped so easily. |

X-Force #32 Kraven takes his hunt to Krakoa, to prove he is the apex predator—and not
even the mutants, the so-called dominant species, are a match for his
prowess. Will this spell the end of X-FORCE, and mutantdom as we know it? |
|
|
Marauders #6 The Progenitor has risen! Now he visits each and every one of us, and we’re
given a chance to justify our lives. Sounds heavy, right? The Marauders
agree! Who proved their right to life? Who failed? And if we survive, just
how excited is Orchis for a chance to scapegoat mutants for Earth’s brush
with destruction? All this...and Detective Lockheed! |

New Mutants #30 Throughout the past forty years, New Mutants has remained a timeless yet
contemporary voice for the marginalized youth who must grow up in a harsh,
cruel world. In this supersized issue, Vita Ayala, Rod Reis and more craft a
mosaic love letter dedicated to the mutant youngsters who have become the
beacon and hope of a new generation of X-Men. Commemorating classic and new
characters alike, this collection of shorts celebrates four decades’ worth of
the joys and tribulations of being young, brave and gifted in the world of X.
The issue will also feature a fourth-wall-breaking Deadpool short by special
guest writer Alyssa Wong. |

X-Terminators #1 (of 5) When Jubilee and Boom-Boom agree to take Dazzler out for a night on the town
to console her after her nasty breakup, they have no idea they’re about to be
kidnapped and put into elaborate death traps for their efforts! What are
three girls with the power to blow things up to do? Leah Williams and Carlos
Gómez put the X in eXploitation in this tale of blood, sweat and revenge! |
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

I appreciate Mark Brooks for sticking the appropriate redesign that Dautermann gave Ororo with her coiled, curly hair. I wish more artists would stop deliberately drawing her with straight hair.
And many of them do that despite the very deliberate design of Dautermann to give her afro-textured hair.
I'm not surprised lol.These are the same people who give Betsy pink hair, or sometimes blue eyes instead of purple for both like its supposed to be. Prob for years because Betsy did have blue eyes and Storm had straight hair & the artist are lazy lol (not sure why they ever gave Betts the pink hair though smh).
X-Man,
I get your point, but I find that Ororo and Elizabeth comparison to be a false equivalence. I don't feel that Elizabeth's hair and eye color inconsistencies are due to anything other than laziness. (And I actually like her natural eye color more... I recently saw a real-life woman with purple contacts and it looked kinda creepy to me. She was probably of similar skin color to Bets). Meanwhile, I believe Ororo was initially created with straight hair texture out of implicit racial bias back in the 70s. Looking at Ororo's background (African-American dad and Kenyan mom), it is likely she would have afro-textured hair. I think she was initially given straight hair to make her palatable to white audiences at a time when books were just starting to become inclusive. Now we have artists like Dautermann and Anka who make deliberate efforts to draw her more accurately (in what actually amounts to a way cooler-looking and infinitely more representative design), and some of these other artists continue to resist that change. I wish that editorial would send out a mandate for them to honor this long-overdue change. Or at the very least, have an on-panel reference to Storm blowing out her hair for a straight style that day. LOL.
I just wish editors made use of style guides and made sure artists had something to follow. Its like editorial is lazy and just waits for these oversights to be brought to their attention
@Rahsaan, I agree; Ororo looks amazing with curly hair! I wish all artists would draw her this way.
Knights of X's absence is interesting. There was that story that it would be just a 5-issue miniseries, but nothing in the solicitations for the previous months indicated that (and Marvel usually makes a point of showing that a certain issue is the final one, exactly to try to boost the readers' attention). We'll find out the answer next month... maybe.
And hopefully the Furies will come to Earth, join ORCHIS and make people remind that Knights of X is, you know, part of the X-line.
Dauterman done the natural. Ororo with white cloud hair rules. Can't skip her presence in the room.
Betsy not getting her purple hair right is the same crime also not having her butterfly. Editors and colorists are lame AF! I'd fire their @$$es on the spot!
Dead on imma puke candy floss. Betsy is a thrift shop Diamondback and Pixie with pink hair.
Effin Marvel lazy they are randybear! Revanche gets to flash around with the snatched Psylocke and butterfly Scott free. And Betsy gets piles on piles of horse dung.
If KoX is truly ending my only concern would be if they handed Betsy off to Leah Williams..shes still around and actively is always writing at least one title regardless of the quality shes churned out 🤮
