Super hype for this! The first issue was so awesome!
Wolverine was an Avenger and has worked with Cap even before then so he is someone they know.

I think the operative word is there are only 3 telepaths Charles trusts with this and hope
This could be part of it, yes.
Agreed, I want to stay mad at this comic but Mr Lucas Werneck is making this difficult
Agreed, my point is just that it would not be a uniform way of everybody going agaist this, especially if the Quiet Council agrees with this decision.

Cyclops has mended his relationship w/ them.More that Cap isn't holding a grudge but it works.
Wolvie is a long time Avenger.
Jean in X-men red showed she is on good terms w/Avengers.
Rogue should be here, and Shiro if we can get him.
I'd say Hank but he's kinda Dark Beast now so that's a big no-no.
I understand he might think Paris is too controversial to be part of investigation. But why wouldn't he trust Betsy or Rachel? Or even Quentin or the Cuckoos? Does he have any reason - that he knows of - not to trust Kwannon?
My headcanon is that they all got drunk at the Gala. :P

Who knows maybe he thinks that Betsy would be biased against Magneto given their past...
The colorist is doing some beautiful heavy lifting in terms of setting the tone for each of these pages. The vibrant lush greens of Krakoa emphasizing its majesty as a paradise. The harsh contrast of dark vs. light in the Xavier/Hope page, stressing their opposition with one another -- the warmth of Hope's coloring played against the Xavier's dark cold. Additionally the use of solid and grainy blacks with the eery moody yellow -- evokes a kind of interrogation vibe, like when detectives stick the lamp over the suspect in a dark room. Also feels a bit like a serial killer's operating room, imho.
And lastly the absolutely gorgeous cool, calm, palette for Magneto's telepathic landscape. The color selection has an aurora borealis serenity in those first two panels in particular, with the soft rainbow woven throughout.
SOLID MOOD EXECUTION -- on top of being wonderfully horny. haha.
i think hopes inclusion here is to have her more involved in the story. she is very much part of the whole wanda story so it does make sense to have some inclusion here, but putting her in the telepath role does feels forced, probably so she can find something out.
Just my opinion but I think its entirely appropriate.
Jean is otherwise occupied. Emma, although respected, is more likely to refute/argue Xavier. Hope is both more heavily involved due to her role on THE FIVE but also young and from the perspective of Xavier, manageable. Xavier's ego at play there.
I love that its Hope.
You're forgetting the obvious in-story-fantasy that a writer has to create in order to have a dramatic tale. Would some mutants be suspicious of Erik? Absolutely. But we're seeing a milder version of "Dead Cyclops was an exterminator" viewpoint already from characters that would normally give some leeway to find the truth. Instead we're seeing jump on the guilty bandwagon for no actual reasons (Lorna). Espcially since most people know that Wanda still has a place in his heart.
Right, that's the key difference right now between AvX and here, in that Cap didn't bring a hidden helicarrier full of every Avenger ever to steal a child. It's those closest to Wanda here to get answers, which they deserve. And you're right that the bigger threats aren't here, but some of them would not be as much of an issue on Krakoa given some of the mutants in the house. I can see Jean alone, if not with Rachel in story, dealing with Echo and the Phoenix Force and taking her off the table. Thor would have to content with Storm and have his half-sister also to have a second duel. Blade vs Wolverine. Captain Marvel and She-Hulk might be the more problematic forces.
