Hello and welcome to Comic Book Herald’s Hickmania, a series running through 2022 where we’ll be reading and analyzing the creator-owned works of writer Jonathan Hickman, from his debut The Nightly News through to his most recent output. We’ll be reading one creator-owned work a month through 2022, and each month I’ll release a new analysis with a new guest discussing the comic! Previously: Past episodes of Hickmania Hickmania on Youtube Today we’re talking Pax Romana and I’m joined by Chris Eddleman and Robert Secundus of ComicsXF. We’ll analyze the work in depth, so expect spoilers! Topics today include: How does the time traveling religious crusade and society building in Pax Romana hold up almost 15 years later? How does Hickman incorporate science fiction and alternate history elements into the comic? Do we wish Pax Romana had run for more than four issues so the world could have been explored in more detail? How does the shaping of societies compare to Hickman’s work on X-Men in House of X / Powers of X. How effective is the use of text conversations to convey larger ideas in the comic? “Pax Romana’ takes place in a future when Islam has overrun Western Europe and monotheism is on the wane in the East and the West,” Jonathan Hickman told CBR News. “There’s a breakthrough. They discover time travel in a scientific lab that’s secretly funded by the Vatican. The pope sends a private army back in time to conquer the world and maintain the dominance of Catholicism.” Pax Romana is: Everything: Jonathan Hickman Publisher: Image Referenced interviews: https://www.cbr.com/hickman-saves-the-future-destroys-the-past-in-pax-romana/ https://www.academia.edu/14656528/Jonathan_Hickmans_Pax_Romana_and_the_End_of_Antiquity Schedule: January 2022 – The Nightly News February 2022 – Pax Romana March 2022 – Transhuman April 2022 – A Red Mass For Mars May 2022 – The Red Wing June 2022 – The Manhattan Projects July 2022 – Secret August 2022 – God is Dead August/Sept 2022 – East of West October 2022 – The Dying and the Dead November 2022 – The Black Monday Murders December 2022 – Decorum December 2022 – 3W3M The post Hickmania #2: Pax Romana (W/ Chris Eddleman & Robert Secundus) appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

Today marks the release of New Mutants #23 and Trial of Magneto #4, two unrelated issues set in the Krakoa era of X-Men that share thematic DNA looking at the paths to reformation and self-acceptance for Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, and Amahl Farouk, aka the Shadow King. I’ll be exploring the parallels and differences in these well known characters journeys, and how current events are shaping where they might fit into mutantkind’s Krakoa and the Marvel Universe going forward. * Spoilers Follow * New Mutants #23 Writer: Vita Ayala Artist: Rod Reis Letters: Travis Lanham Trial of Magneto #4 Writer: Leah Williams Artist: Lucas Werneck and David Messina Colors: Edgar Delgado Letters: Clayton Cowles At the center of these stories we’ll look at how far mutant forgiveness extends, and what accountability looks like for Scarlet Witch and Shadow King. I’ll start with New Mutants and Amahl Farouk, primarily because this run is one of the best New Mutants runs, and easily one of my favorite X-Men comics in 2021. The Road to Redemption for a Shadow King Free Amahl Farouk In this issue, The OG New Mutants are trapped in a looping astral hell of the Shadow King’s making, until the lost club reach out and connect. Ayala continues to make great use of mutant technologies, the only writer to really do so, and Rod Reis’ psychedelia is on another level, as this creative partnership continues to perform as one of the absolute best at Marvel this year. Since inception in 1979’s Uncanny X-Men #117, Amahl Farouk and Shadow King have predominantly been seen as one and the same. Certainly in the earliest stages, I tied Farouk to Shadow King like you’d tie any Marvel character to their alias, Scott Summers is Cyclops, Kurt Wagner is Nightcrawler and on down the line. As time’s gone on though, we’ve seen Shadow King inhabit other human vessels, although the dark entity seems to always return to Farouk. What Ayala started doing – literally from the first issue of their New Mutants run – is separate Farouk and the Shadow King, in so far as it can be done. And not only that, but Ayala and Reis’ vision is to show how the Shadow King entity preyed on a young and grieving Farouk. Empathy for the Shadow King, a being feeding on hate and rage, has rarely been in the cards, but empathy for a manipulated child? That’s not so hard. New Mutants #23 is the culmination of that effort, with Farouk v King fully on display. These are competing owners of Farouk’s body on display, much like Legion and one his alters, or a character like Enchantress on the DC side. And it is decidedly different from traditional portrayals of the Shadow King / Farouk relationship, less symbioses and more overwhelming virus. After centuries of abuse, and stolen control, Farouk is ready to be free of the waning Shadow King. One of the more impressive aspects of what’s happening here with Farouk is how Ayala is drawing parallels and trauma from past points in New Mutants comics history. So you have Illyana sharing how her experiences trapped with Belasco in Limbo both relate to Shadow King trapping and manipulating young mutants, and without realizing it, how Shadow King manipulated a young Amahl Farouk centuries ago. At the same time, Karma has experienced the most first hand damage from the Shadow King entity, and has to weigh that trauma and desire for revenge as the team learns of the existence of a separate Farouk entity that’s nothing more than a scared, trapped child. There’s also a particularly nice moment of catharsis where the New Mutants are confronted with their greatest fears, Demon Bear, Shan’s family, James’ brother, Illyana’s demon form, and together assert “We are beyond this!” That’s the kind of momentum and breaking the rules that I want to see from X-Men comics in the Krakoa era. It’s both a victory chant, and an aspirational mantra for Amahl Farouk. By the end of the issue Amahl finally comes to the same conclusion: “The truth is that I am the master of my own choices,” a quote very reminiscent of Legion’s “I Rule Me,” from Si Spurrier’s work on the character. The final moment is Farouk double over weeping and saying “I’m so sorry.” The Krakoan for New Mutants #23 reads “What Is Deserved,” and it’s unquestionably one of the most challenging questions coming out of these issues. What do you do with an Amahl Farouk freed from the clutches of the Shadow King? Can Farouk even truly be freed? This is not uncharted territory in X-Men Comics. The Dark Phoenix has pulled Jean Grey into the genocide of an alien civilization, and Cyclops into the patricide of Charles Xavier. In both cases, both characters have been allowed to slide back into their familiar heroic roles – quite literally leading the Superhero arm of mutantdom in the Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz X-Men – but no
