This was kinda meh. I really liked Cyclops/Polaris and every Magneto scene, not so much the rest. The family dinner fell flat and weird and Vulcan being reduced to dumb comic relief is a letdown. I really wish he wouldn't skip those reunions.
You know it’s a proper X-Men comic when Storm waters a plant.
I’m disappointed the X-Men were barbecuing meat. Still acting like degenerate, primitive humans. Hopefully it was synthetic like in Star Trek.
The Cyclops/Corsair stuff was corny.
Magneto being an attention whore is spot on.

The more I look at the scene, the more I think the Children of the Vault will be brought in. Her outfit was too specific of a choice .
This was so nice. Grey-Summers clan living happily as a family just warms my heart.
Don't let anyone else hold the candle that lights the way to your future because only you can sustain the flame.

Vulcan was clearly his pre Moira self, because it would make no sense for Charles to bring back the maniac version. He talks like a stupid teen who just read old books and think the English spoken there sounds cool.
You have to wonder what kind of dumb girl is falling for his talk and breaking decorum when they sleep over.
Something I took away from this, the X-Men were massively justified for attacking Orchis, they were imprisoning and experimenting on mutant children to help them create post-humans. Typical fascist racist organization, always targeting the children.
In some ways Post-Humans are kind of mutants because they are experimenting on mutants to create the tech to make post-humans. It's kind of a merger between human, machine, and some elements of mutant DNA. Of course all with the purpose to completely exterminate the mutant race.
After finding all those Sentinels and the imprisoned mutants, it's pretty obvious that the X-Men were taking out a very dangerous terrorist base that was engaged in the most horrific racism inflicted on children.
This was very much a Scott book. Secondary to Scott was Storm, Polaris, and Magneto. In the first half it was a good mix of all four of them and a good look at all four points of view. I don't know if Lorna and Scott are dancing around each other, I don't think they were, I think they were sharing the fact that in a way they are the kids of the founders, Scott is the kind of the son of Xavier, and Lorna is the daughter of Magneto. I definitely feel Lorna is going to be a consistent recurring character in X-Men or she will eventually be a team leader on her own book.
The dinner party is mostly just establishing that Scott is living on the Summer House on the moon, the smaller bubble that sits beside the bigger Blue Area habitat on the moon. Haha, Scott wanted a view so he wanted to live on the moon.
We get to see Jean, Logan, Vulcan (acting a little crazy and dreaming of fire), Alex, Corsair, Hepzibah, Ch'od, Nathan, and Rachel.
So, that elephant in the room, Scott, Jean, and Logan have connected rooms with no doors, just open hallways. NO DOORS!! I don't know what's going on, but I think they are having lots of fun sharing rooms together.
As for the kids, Nathan had the most interaction and got to try and buy a weapon from Ch'od, and interacted with Jean.
Rachel is definitely an afterthought and she only exists as a background character.
We are MUTANT..Krakoa, FOREVER!!! “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”
Overall, I liked it.
Felt a bit off in places for me, particularly Vulcan and Cable. It's trying a tad too hard to show that everything is great with the X-Men.
But other than that it was fine.
