The children of the vault are post human after all, a lot of foreshadow in this issue...
It is good to see jean being a mother, so the 3 stars feel justified
No, no; they can fuck off of a short pier, nobody's gonna argue on that one.
I just hope Storm was only talking in regards to these particular humans and the humans like them, not all of humanity, such as old friends and those she does/has loved. (I still can't tell to be honest and I hate that I can't. Linguistically there's too much grey area in how she refers to 'they', 'them' and 'man.')

Aren't the Inhumans still based on the moon?? That would make for some awkward confrontations...
I just don't understand how their all so okay with kid Cable when he straight up murdered the older version. The one they knew for years... I'm just saying at some point you gotta draw a line all this Barney shit can only last for so long.

Very good issue. 12 helicopters out of 7 peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
Specific things I liked:
- Serafina/Children of the Vault up in here.
- Cable's room being matched with Cyclops' and Jean's rooms, and Rachel's room being matched with Wolverine's and Jean's rooms. Hickman is implying parentage with his floorplan.
- Rachel's last name being concealed, because it isn't Summers or Grey.
- Magneto's dialog with the mutant children.
- Polaris calling out Cyclops' (formerly?) disingenuous bit about having a baby son.
- The possibility that Hepzibah is hitting on Rachel, which further points to Rachel not being a Summers. (If she is not hitting on Rachel, then Yu made very odd choices making them move closer, and making the camera move in on them tighter, with each panel, followed by "let me get you another drink.")
- Storm, Cyclops, Magneto, and Polaris working together as a team.
- The Rockwellian mutant home.
- Vulcan having a dramatic personality that jibes with his dramatic history, but makes him less of a bratty psychopath.
- Corsair being a believable good dad, with his sons being believable good sons.
What I didn't like: Yu's art in general. Makes better sense for something that's more gritty, like an old-era Wolverine or X-Force book. (Maybe something new coming down the pipe, but at least nothing in wave one.) The Krakoa shots were unclear and uninspiring next to all the colorful, clear detail we've been experiencing with it so far. The style itself is too unclear for certain shots, like Polaris trapping all of those Orchis goons in metal. There's a lot of ambiguity regarding whether she killed them or not.
Them last panels! Oof.
Overall, chill issue. 8/10
Didn’t enjoy the Summer BBQ hangout.
