Yeah, but I don't speak for the distance, I speak for "I didn't even know this was happening." But Cyclops is on the cover so maybe they will come later.

I believe so which to me is a wasted opportunity especially given the writer. Would have been a perfect time to give us a basic understanding of they/them as a pronoun which could have put something there to explore later and maybe give us more understanding on pronouns. But I also understand the want to not make it seem personal. But krakoa and arrano would have been a great segway into that kind of information.
Emma and Jean should not be in this. A good development from this mini is that its giving shine to the B and C listers. Magik is the most prominent character here. These other characters really need the shine and dont need Emma or Jean to overshadow them

That's actually such a good idea. The X-Men have always shined a light on the minority experience before comics were ready to fully tackle them.
Jean and Emma are sleeping in at the White Palace, the others can handle this without them.
Shadow King never needed to be an ancient body hopping psychic entity. Farouk was always more powerful and experienced than Xavier enough to have been a serious challenge for him. So typical for an X-Men character's origin to get retconned into pointless levels of complexity.

Agreed. We might get some nice Karma and Dani moments and see the villains do some cool stuff. We don't need to bring in the big guns to do all the work.
Marvel finally seems to remember that Dani has psychic powers

Agree. I hope we see Karma do something extreme like take possession of all of the zombies.
I wonder if Explodey Boy will get resurrected.

They never forgot. She only got them back a year ago
yeah I'm with Exodus this seems beneath them haha
imagine telling people some of the X-Men will call in Exodus, Selene, Sinister, Shadow King, and Mastermind to fight plants and zombies....
though at least Dani gets to do something I guess?
As much as I've loved this mini, I feel like it missed an opportunity to bring back Wicked.
-Pav, who wouldn't mind Freakshow returning either...

I sure hope so.
I think mayyyyyyyyybe they brought in a few too many psychics. Quentin was not needed since he's been showcased in X-Force. SUPER glad they left out Jean and Emma. Should've left out the Cuckoos as well.
Exodus needs to do something with his insane power set, so I'm glad he's there. Selene as well... though I hope this is a worthy showcase for her. Karma and Dani better have some good moments because they didn't get much in New Mutants. Hope we see Blindfold! (Speaking of... I hope she gets some awesome follow-up story regarding her fate from before Krakoa.)
