By Zack Quaintance — Back in July, House of X/Powers of X spent 12 weeks building a new status quo for the X-Men to inhabit, doing so with alternating weekly releases, a constant stream of fascinating sci-fi concepts, nods to the core of the mutant world, stellar art, and strong writing. Then, Dawn of X started, and it was relatively up and down, skewing a bit more toward up. The problem with the six Dawn of X books, was that they almost uniformly felt like part of a violent shift from the urgent quality of HoX/PoX to a more withholding, built for a long monthly run style of periodical comics.
