Crossovers are a huge part of the comics economy and the X-Books are some of the biggest perpetrators. From all the way back in Mutant Massacre, the X-Men love to get involved in each other’s business. That’s why we love them. Well it looks like the upcoming X Of Swords will be no different.
Eagle-eyed Twitter user @ISnowNothin noticed that Jeff’s company, Amazon, posted the product description for the X Of Swords hardcover.
So, according to Amazon’s product listing for the #XOfSwords lists issue tie-ins, as well as one-shots that include:

And an additional X of Swords one-shot to be named later.https://t.co/37ESyx7l2J pic.twitter.com/4BWRrEAnfn

Also absent is the FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2020: X-MEN issue, which had promised to be a lead in to X Of Swords. This brings to total number of books up to 17 from the previously announced 15. Will this mean more than the ten swords promised? Only time will tell.
