Hickman took over as the series regular writer as of issue #570
World War Hulk: X-Men that he endured in interplanetary exile and is humbled. Xavier admits that he wouldn't have agreed to shoot the Hulk into space permanently, but would've sent him there while the Illuminati searched for a cure. Acknowledging this as well as other mistakes that have hurt his X-Men in the past, Xavier surrenders to the Hulk willingly, but the gathered Astonishing X-Men refuse to give him up without a fight. A second fight breaks out with Cyclops, Emma Frost, Wolverine, Beast, Shadowcat, Colossus and Lockheed against the Hulk. Again like in the previous issue Hulk defeats each member of the team.
