spoilers:

Esme and Sophie themselves are the ones who were supposed to be dead. So yeah.

One thing I want to know is why

spoilers:

Hope is the Omega for Power manipulation when Rogue is waaaaaaaay better at it than Hope has ever shown to be.

Hah! I was literally shuffling through their names trying to remember who was who.

Thanks for proving my senility.

Hope doesn't kill people while doing it

So, is Xavier.

That Omega list was intresting to me. I'm shocked and relieved Bobby and Ororo still make the cut I thought it would be 1 or the other. Secondly I know he's not in X-men but I'm a little shocked Billy Kaplan wasn't on that list is he not a mutant anymore?

Oh, I forgot to mention something before. Remember when we were talking about Hickman ignoring Rosenberg and all that? That doesn't seem to be the case exactly.

spoilers:

Two of the mutants "birthed" by the krakoan coccoons at the beginning seem to be Scott and Jean. The guy even has the red-ish energy coming out of his eyes. I don't think it's so much as ignoring the deaths before, but more like Krakoa having a mechanism that all living mutants have to go through, like some sort of rebirth and that somehow also brings the dead ones back. I'll wait for further elaboration on the book's end. So, it's not so much as ignoring previous runs, but having a plot device that makes the deaths before null and void.

Well the classification is about their raw power and potential, not how skilled they are. I'm pretty sure Hope has always been supposed to be more powerful than Rogue

That seems like real plot contrivance given that from everything we know, she's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better at it.

Same goes for Quire

I would have included both Billy and Wanda since they're both powerful reality manipulators, but their powers are more magic based and right now they're not classified as mutants thanks to the recent High Evolutionary retcon. However, with the X-Men film rights recently returned to Disney/Marvel, I'm sure we'll be seeing Pietro, Wanda, and her kids as mutants again someday.

**Woozie** · 07-24-2019, 05:38 AM

Pretty sure they wouldn't get it considering, you know Stephen Strange

**KusaSan_Snd** · 07-24-2019, 05:41 AM

This issue was good. Probably the best best issue since New X-Men of Morrisson. It's big, well written and the major character are here.

spoilers:

The idea of Krokoa being merged with the X-Men is really great. It's a modern idea which fit well with your current world and big environmental problem. A lot of detail is pleasant like Krokoa langage or the description page. Heck the description page is really a nice add and comic book should have more of it : It's creative !

It's so good that I even create another account because I can't remember the password on my previous one (KusaSan). Let's hope it will be the same for other issue.

Though I'm a bit worried about what Magneto said at the end "We are your God". it's way too much and I do find that a bit out of place with the rest of story.

8,5/10

**tornshattered** · 07-24-2019, 05:41 AM

I have a crazy theory. You're very welcome to tell me it's complete bulls***, but

spoilers:

Is it possible that all the X-Men died and then were reborn through Krakoa, as depicted in the first scene? That would explain why the Esme and Sophie are alive. And in general why so many dead mutants recently showed up out of nowhere. Edit: okay, other people posted it, before me, nevermind
