"I think Zeb wrote an amazing story. I think he did a great job and I think he made a lot of Maddie fans. And listen, if you were already a Maddie fan and you’re mad at me for suggesting she didn’t have fans, I’m not saying she didn’t have fans — of course she had fans. But I’m saying, I feel like she’s more popular than she’s been in probably decades because Zeb wrote a really compelling arc about her." - Jordan White

"What I love about Hickman's whole thing here is that there are no easy answers; he's taken the rug and pulled it out from under us. Reading X-Men comics for years and years, they were these super-powerful characters but their goal was to protect the humans who feared and hated them. What a noble goal. It's still simple heroism. But as soon as you take that and say, 'Okay, well now they have a different goal, their goal is to make a society,' then easy answers disappear. Good and evil disappear, and as a human reader you lose that safety net of knowing these characters have your best interests at heart. There's something dangerous about the entire enterprise that I love as a writer, that I would not have had the guts to do myself, but as soon as Jonathan did it, I knew I needed to get in there and play. I knew it would challenge me and my own preconceived notions." - Zeb Wells

"You could say Tarn leads something like Amenth’s version of the X-Men. They are feared and hated, but only because Tarn very much wants to be feared and hated. It’s his holy mission to be reviled. He’s a member of the Great Ring in the same way Mr. Sinister is a member of the Quiet Council. Uncomfortably." - Zeb Wells

"Is it a reaction to the fact that fans are in a fervor? I would say it’s more a reaction to the fact that the X-Writers are in a fervor. I think everybody is interested. We’ve had hot debates about Maddie on our X-Calls. We’ve had heated debates about her and what will happen with her. Honestly, there’s so much I want to say about it — I really can’t. I’m very interested in the response — I find it fascinating and really interesting, the response fans have to Maddie. That’s it. I’ll stop there." - Jordan D. White

"Only X-Men fans see 20 characters fighting with swords and ask why so many characters were left out. There are a LOT of characters in this crossover, and more than just the swordbearers are important to it." - Jordan D. White
