I can see that for sure. I was unclear I suppose when I used the word mutants. I can understand the natives being upset with the Arraki since they were causing all that trouble. The Krakoans I don't think have done much, I don't remember them cracking jokes about Dyador, so if you have an example I'd appreciate a scan or even just an issue number. I could see a gripe about Jaime being on the throne in Avalon but he seems to have kept to himself.
This was a meh issue for me mostly because i don't know the relevance of this STRIKE group and this group of telepathic spies help them deal with this coven based in the UK.
My major gripe though is with Shogo, because i am being honest that when Jubilee says "My baby boy is not allowed to come to this kingdom ever!" My mind immediately goes to this:
Please! You drag him through that godforsaken portal where he turns into a giant freaking target with wings! He has been mind controlled, shot at and wounded! But this is where you draw the line!? Oh my god you are a terrible mother and should have that baby taken from you!
Basically the team was from like 30 years ago or more so unless you're a diehard Betsy fan many wouldn't have a clue who they were, I think that Shogo is whatever the writer needs him to be whenever she needs him to be...or something along those lines...
Apocalypse' children suck though.
Like all of X of Swords just made it so that i never wanna see those kids again. Genesis can come back though.
Yeah, I would rather Excalibur not team up or help them at all. I would actually rather have Excalibur, X-Men, and earth's non mutant heroes knock the Arrakii mutants down a few pegs after they become needlessly aggressive or start some kind of trouble(and you know they will).

They stopped the Arakki from killing everyone but they were kinda the reason the Arrakki got there to begin with…
The ambassador is the head of coven akkaba and they sacrifice people for magic reasons. The last one was one of their own people. Somehow they got a whole bunch of political power in the government and I doubt he mentioned the penchant for human sacrifice when getting job, but I suppose anything is possible… And as far as international law goes, I believe annexing part of another country is probably considered ‘worse’ than killing a random citizen.

If Merlyn decides to rally the other kingdoms against Saturnyne because she won't disavow Betsy as CB because she's a mutant, I can absolutely see the mutant kingdoms uniting. Doesn't mean they're best friends, just defending their kind.
Merlyn is shady boots at the moment. He's over here grandstanding about how awful Jamie is yet he has the rightful king of Avalon in his basement. Shady.
