“…it's an honor to come back and help close out this chapter of X-Men history.”

Is the Krakoan Era really coming to a close, or did Brisson misspeak?

The "chapter" could really just be Fall of X, this statement really doesn't indicate anything at all tbh

I don't think so. That's just how they're trying to market Fall of X.
Hickman left because the X-office wanted to keep playing in the Krakoan sandbox. I don't think that what they've done since Inferno even begins to scratch the surface of what could be done. That couldn't have been all they wanted to say about Krakoa, IMO.
I do think that FoX will mark the end for *some* elements of the current status quo, but not all of it. I think the overdone Resurrection protocols are probably the most at risk, but now that pretty much every character that matters is already back, there's not much use for it anymore other than continuing to kill X-men with no consequences every issue.

End the previous era.

Marvel always resets back, even it's slow.

Exactatiously.

I’m ready for a new era, so I personally hope he was being literal.

Same. Sick of Krakoa.

100% agreed.

He probably has a Glob story to finish.

Glob’s unique paraffin body made him immune to Sinister‘s DNA manipulation. And by connecting to old paraffin remains in the past, he could transfer his consciousness into the remains of his past body and warn everyone of the future.

Please don't put that idea into the universe!

Same. Sick of Krakoa.

A lot of us are sick of the hero and school nonsense.

I can understand the school part (even though I don't agree) but I can't wrap my head around the idea that there are X-men fans that don't want them to be heroes.

Where would you move everyone on there?

There's plenty of room in limbo. Both the literal one and the figurative one!

I’m genuinely interested to see if the X-office can come up with a creative way to move past the Krakoa era without it looking like a backtracking of the franchise. I’m not under any illusion that Krakoa didn’t have problems both in it’s premise and it’s execution, but HOX/POX was the first time that the franchise genuinely felt like it was moving forward since Decimation in 2005. I think it would take a really strong creative voice, but I’m hoping that the X-Office puts the effort in to have the end of Krakoa not be an end to stories where mutants are more than hated and feared, and still have a real sense of community.
