    I know they don't have a lot of other choices left but still, wow. When's Sofia signing up?
    for drama they wanted it to be a depowered mutant with mutant relatives who would be against seeing his relative die
    they could have done it with nightcrawler, he has 2 depowered mutant brothers, one was even a Horseman in Age of Apocalypse, Abyss

    Likely because none of these writers want to work with such a lame character?

    But i think this is likely the end of 1 story 1 issue arc, since we have 2 space/new mutants issues next back to back, then an empyre tie in and the issue that follows has a premiss that is very very on the nose for the story at hand.

    Has anyone ever asked why Wanda can't just say "No more 'no more mutants'"?

    If they didn't want to work with her, Hickman wouldn't be referencing a decades old story. I'm sure the Scarlet With and Quicksilver will pop up somewhere down the line

    I think this was addressed in Children's Crusade when she repowered Rictor, but then in Uncanny Avengers she basically just didn't want to and didn't think she did anything wrong.

    Yeah, actually, Children's Crusade showed that after repowering Rictor she lost whatever hopped-up magic made her so powerful in House of M, so she can no longer give any mutant back their powers.

    That and she really just doesn't give a ****. She pretty much said so in Uncanny Avengers.

    A reminder, Rich Johnston said last August that Marvel was planning to do some Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver/Magneto stuff in 2020 but it may have been put on hold until after they see what the WandaVision series is going to do with Wanda.

    Johnston's gossip isn't always right, but it does fit with Wanda being barely in any comics and Pietro being in none, so I would place my bets that Hickman's "Pretender" references are leading to something, especially since this issue was the first time we've actually seen a clear image of Wanda in full costume. She's not physically present but she's getting closer.

    While she was written as a jerk in Uncanny Avengers (but everyone was, except, weirdly, Wolverine), it never said she had the power to give mutants their powers back, and no one ever brought up the issue.

    I wouldn't be surprised if some writers/editors just thought everyone was repowered by AvX. It's not what happened but it was such a confusing story that who could blame anyone for not knowing what was going on?

    This would actually be a great story. But as I said I believe Dust is in the upcoming Champions series.

    Welcome home, sweetness. I was very happy to see your family as well.



    Nice to see Ric on the island with everyone. As a formerly de-powered mutant, this would be of interest to him. I'm pretending he's recording his podcast covering the event.

    Um except it IS free for everyone that died before Krakoa and will be resurrected, for everyone that lived and kept their powers, and for everyone that gained powers after M-day and just walked through a random gate lol. I don't see them making all those mutants do trial by combat. I thought the whole point of Krakoa was to escape this kind of violence.

    Why in the world would there be mass suicides? They would have no guarantee that they would be resurrected right away instead of years and years in the future after all the Genosha victims or that the whole resurrection thing wouldn't collapse in that time. That seems pretty risky and crazy thinking to me.

    And yet that is exactly what a bunch of the ardent Krakoa status quo defenders on this board are doing, just like they have with a bunch of the other questionable things brought on by this Hickman era(like the villains being there in the first place).

    Oh come on! Regardless of where you stand on this Crucible thing, I don't see how anyone could argue that Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister and the like are anything other than villains.

    Don't get me wrong I understand that someone like Wanda could not be treated positively in a mutant nation but considering what happened to her was something beyond her will in a moment of madness she is very close to being portrayed as something similar Hitler or the devil and that worries me a little.
    Yep I find it highly disturbing as well. I feel the same about all the praise and worship Magneto is getting from mutant kids on the island too.
