We begin this issue with Armor and Glob discussing the mutant paradise that is Krakoa. This conversation carries over to a party happening at the Carousel, where Glob quickly abandons Armor to go dance with Pixie. Armor, however, wonders who isn’t enjoying life on Krakoa.

Armor visits Sage as they go through some names of who is and who isn’t on Krakoa. Armor stops at Beak and Angel. Confused as to why they aren’t on the island, Armor is determined to change their minds. Back in Akademos Habitat, Glob confesses that will all this free love happening on Krakoa, there might be a chance for him to pursue something with Pixie. Armor doesn’t care and neither do I, so she figures out why the couple aren’t on Krakoa and goes to visit the New Mutants, looking for Sunspot.

Armor arrives to an empty nest or not as empty as she thought. She finds Goddess Boom-Boom digging around in Roberto’s room for completely unknown reasons. Armor explains that she’s planning to visit Beak in Nebraska and needs some Krakoan medicine to bring with her. Bored out of her $%@!$&% mind, she says she’ll just do whatever she wants and will get it done in a few days.

Two days later, Armor and Glob are packed with everything they need and are ready to head through the Gate before they’re stopped by Maxime and Manon who desperately want to join them. They even recommend their usefulness in mind control, but Armor reprimands them that mutants need to make their own choice when it comes to joining Krakoa (ahem) and lets them join if they promise not to be shitty brats. They head up to Beak’s home and reunite with him, Angel, and the kids. As they catch up, Beak and Angel let the kids play outside. Armor’s Outreach team also say they know why they haven’t joined.

Beak’s dad has been infected with a new disease called Munus Motricum Dementia (also called the ‘Taylor Ellis’ disease or MMD). The disease results in a total body system shutdown where the patient eventually forgets how to walk or even breathe. 90% of those diagnosed have a mortality rate of 100% within a year. Anyway, Armor injects the medicine into the IV drip and Beak’s father recovers and is healed of his worldly diseases thanks to the grace of Krakoa!

A couple hours later, all the mutants are hanging out in the kitchen. Armor tells Beak and Angel that Mr Bohusk’s functions should be completely relearned within a couple months, and after that, they can join Krakoa. Before the two could talk some more, Beak notices there’s an unknown party on their lawn...and they have the KIDS!!

Armor and crew go outside to confront these human aggressors. The leader of the redneck crew says that they came by because they heard of the wonderful medicines that they don’t have access to and they want some or else. Armor goes to incapacitate them, but gets hit by, um, uhhh a power-dampening missile. The leader steps up and once again demands negotiation, or the kids are sacrificial lambs. To be continued....


Data Pages:

1) There’s one on the disease that Mr Bohusk has that goes in depth with how rare and deadly it is.

2) This page is major world building for Krakoa and specifically, the Akademos Habitat. This page details the living spaces of the Sextant which is home to the different generations of X-students throughout the years. They are divvied up by Greek Houses that each belong to a different group.


  • DELTA House: Generation X
  • ZETA House: The New X-Men
  • BETA House: The Frost Academy
  • The Pod: The Five
  • Lifedeath: Communal
  • SIGMA House: The Jean Grey School
  • OMEGA House: [REDACTED]
  • ALPHA House: The New Mutants


Review: Meh. I enjoyed this issue more than Fallen Angels but less than X-Force but still felt painfully boring. I don’t know if it was because there was no emotional resonance when Armor and Beak and Angel reunited because they shouldn’t even know each other or how weird Angel acted. I hoped Angel and her kids sans Tito’s depowered status would be brought up but the kids have randomly been repowered so I’m guessing Angel is too. I’m more excited at how the Akademos Sextant developments will further be explored rather than this rescue. Boom-Boom was there so that’s a plus automatically.
