Am beginning to think the church of concordance in life 9 was an answer to the Krakoans religion we are still yet to see. Or the Krakoans themselves are pre-empting the machines.The similarities are uncanny.
Giant Sized got all the hype, but this was THE issue of the week, and a strong candidate for best of Dawn of X so far. I particularly love that it addresses many of the questions people have about resurrections, but without providing a clear answer. Also good to have Scott and Kurt have a long talk, because it's been a while.
I think this might have been my favorite issue. Been waiting for an issue like this.
I think the will concept is like a human 'last will and testament'
I think because they are now immortal it is more binding,you expect that you 'bequeath' your body ,memories and powers to only yourself.I think it helps in defining personality otherwise Krakoa would at worst be a state where you'd have folks fighting over powers like it's money or have some weird hivemind society where all have the same power set

Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
Lmao Krakoans are really triggered by Wanda! Meanwhile she has both her kids back, is in perfect metal health, cut out the part of herself she always hated the most, has a new man, has created a great friendship with the ex love of her life, and is basically living her best life!! While the mere mention of her name invokes Chaos on Krakoa you have to Stan that level of influence!!
BTW if they have such beef with Wanda why have none of them approached her? If she's a criminal to the Krakoan/Mutant race why have none of them tried to bring her in? They know where she stays!

I'm ok with these snapshot, moments in time, pieces of a larger whole issues that establish the new reality of Krakoa. They're super interesting and great for depth that I feel like you don't get in a lot of other books. (This is NOT including Hordeculture). BUT, they must lead to something bigger eventually.
I mean I thought the same thing...Sofia having a badass face off against A would've been amazing, but the Guthrie element definitely seemed needed. Sofia's close ties are people she hasn't been on-panel with in over a decade so Idk who would've been in the sidelines wanting to step in other than Dani Moonstar. Melody had like...two lines of dialogue before M-Day but her last name built her role.
This issue was also an interesting juxtaposition to Melody's last appearance in the feel good/saccharine Fearless miniseries where she was told she would always have a place with the X-Men despite losing her powers.
