This looks so big and crazy and just off the wall nuts... I love it. This whole “lost first age of mutants” stuff with Arrakko and the First Horsemen being lost in Otherworld, or wherever they are (perhaps having to traverse Otherworld to get there) is just a bizarre blend of sci-fi and fantasy. Understanding it may not fit perfectly with what’s been established before, but I don’t really care. This looks rad to me.
and it's creative and unique in all sense, not every marvel event seems to have this much ... flavour :3c
Agreed. Take Empyre for example. The whole thing just felt flat. At least IMO.
I know it won't happen, but I would have liked to see the Celtic gods or entities related to Arthurian legend in this story, because they supposed to be denizens of Otherworld as well, even though they have never been seen with the Captain Britain/Merln/Roma/Opal Saturnyne stuff.
Regarding the rumour Apocalypse being under the influence of another power when he sealed Arakko, if he had encountered the Celestials by then they might have yanked the strings for once?

Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!

So I gathered was that Amenth isn’t in other world but otherworld is a bridge that can connect Krakoa to Amenth where Arrako is located.
It seems likely from the summoner graphic (second time we’ve seen it in X12: except it’s different from the one we initially got in X2) so the betrayal is likely Summoner to his gramps/Krakoa.
I imagine the reason is one he told us already, the stories that got passed down ultimately cast Apocalypse’s sacrifice of them as a betrayal. And now the remaining mutants are coming back to reunite/claim their homeland from this latest generation of mutants.
What I’m excited about is that it seems like we are about to see some mutants with some weirder mutant powers, like Isaca. Excited.
the surprise on nur's face.
Looks very promising. Loving the dark, ominous art style here.

They were seen acting together - Avalonians, Court of Pendragon and Captain Britain Corps - in the "Manchester Gods" storyline in Journey Into Mystery 639 - 641, but Howard in particular seems intent on ignoring or erasing the established society and geography of Otherworld and replacing them with her own sub par concepts.
It would be like War of the Realms completely ignoring the Asgardians, the Dark Elves and every other race that's supposed to inhabit the Nine Realms, apart from (super) humans.
"The city of DillyDollydaydream, in the Kingdom of Dryer Door..." do me a favour. Hickman and Howard aren't exactly Tolkien and Martin when it comes to their attempts to write high fantasy. Lewis and Martin, maybe.
