Proteus probably forgot he didn't have hands.

Agree 100%. Reading one without the other feels so weird. We also have 2 issues of X-Men Forever before the next (and last) RotPoX issue, so a lot of the Phoenix stuff will go unexplained in RotPoX....

Exactly. It made sense for the people who had died in the WHR as they had access to their bodies. Perhaps Rachel misspoke and she actually meant they had a backup genetic database there? I think it...

Yeah, they were using Mother Righteous' help to access the Waiting Room, although in the previous X-Men Forever issue Rachel said they had a backup cradle, so I guess they don't need Mother Righteous...

I'd be genuinely surprised if this new era will have higher sales after the initial launch bump. Other than the Phoenix book, nothing sounds like a "must-buy".

Good, I like that we are bringing this back to the main plot rather than spending half the issue fighting in an alternate timeline

It's probably Hope.

I'm hoping Gillen will be able to explain Moira's current characterization in this issue.

Yeah, Gillen himself said in his newsletter than we he wrote the last X-Men Forever issue he thought to himself "I've finished Immortal X-Men."

Which also gives more credence to the theory that...

Right? For a sec I thought they had brought back O5 Scott.

I'll at least check them out, but can't say I'm terribly excited about this new era. I had hoped the Krakoan era would somewhat end on a positive note, with mutants not being that hated and feared,...

That's a bit dissappointing. I expected it to be something only Manifold could do. Magik has her powers back (we even see her use them in this issue), couldn't she have done it herself? It should...

Yeah, when Doug first tells us Krakoa's version of the Okkara/Amenth story there's no mention of Genesis (nor is she present in the art shown). It's only said that the horsemen went to Amenth, no...

Yeah, we don't know what exactly went down in life 9, but Moira and Apocalypse did rescue the original horsemen (and not Genesis apparently). Timeline wise, according to X-Men Red at least, Genesis...

Getting to see more of Moira's past lives is definitely a treat. If only we had gotten that Moira book :(

Are they counting a mini? Did the regular Uncanny X-Men stop while the War of the Realms mini was coming out? Seems kinda odd to count it.

No Hope, which is to be expected, also no Destiny or Exodus, perhaps they don't make it either.

I don't think it's that these past lives continued, but rather that Rachel is sending them to a point in the past in those timelines before Moira's death.

So like in Life 8, Magneto dies in Year...

I hope so, because the plan as it is sounds a bit farfetched. Unless they go to Moira's 10A life, that's the only place where a dominion was defeated, but nobody other than Omega Sentinel and Nimrod...

Huh I did not expect them to go back to Moira's previous lives. Although I guess it makes sense given what Moira in DXM #1 is intending to do. Maybe this will be a mini version of that long lost...

They technically just did. Those last few pages with Moira are from the present, during the X-Men invasion. Which I'm guessing we'll see more of in FotHoX #3.

He is a clone. Sinister even mentions he added telepathy to the clone. I'm guessing the real Doug is still trapped in the Pacific Krakoa (or on the run with Tree-Krakoa?)

So now that we know Doug is just a clone with Sinister inside of him, is it too obvious for him to be traitor? Or will it be Rasputin IV? Once she finds out Xavier has been lying to her. Or maybe...

I wouldn't mind this being 95% setup if we had not just spent the last 6 months setting up this event.

There's also a few things that don't really make sense, although maybe I'm just nitpicking:
...

He did say Moira would play a big role in RotPoX. So maybe he will fix her.
