I'm still enjoying it, but I can see the era starting to close. With Hickman moving on to a new title, it's making me wonder if his grand plan is being put into high gear. I'm also starting to think that Trial of Magneto will lead into the next sub era, maybe a "Fall of X" or so.
I've noticed a sharp increase in quality in a lot of the books since X of Swords, New Mutants seems to have more consistent writing quality with Reis who is doing amazing work on that book, Excalibur has gone from being the build-up to a larger event to dealing with the direct fallout and X-Men finally started to tie up some loose ends.
I'll say the weakest book for me is Wolverine, which is just Wolverine doing his own thing, I'm enjoying still however.
I'll say this, there's a lot of us who enjoy this a lot, and for us, it's not something we'll ever get again or even really want again. I want to see them stick with Krakoa through later runs however as I feel going back to the Mansion so soon will be regressing to a point where the X-Men remain static.
For those that don't like it, it'll be over soon and you won't have to have something like this again.
Personally, I think the perfect mixture for the next writer would be if there was a split between Krakoa and the Mansion folks, but we've already seen that as well.
Anyway, I'm gonna be digging the crazy sex islands for as long as I can.
Also, yeah, I get what they were doing with the reused art in X-Men, I get what they were trying to do, I don't really think that worked either. That was a low point in this era, but so far, I'm enjoying the ride.
Given all the refugees etc mutants have saved in this era. I am really hoping Mars is terraformed but not for just mutants. What i am hoping is they set up a mutant society and that is where humans, aliens, whoever can come and join their new society. But Krakoa (the main island) will remain on Earth for mutants only.

Because ideally it would be in good faith. If you are choosing to go live on a world terraformed by mutants where they are offering you a different way of life where you won't have pollution or cars all over the rd etc, just imagining, i don't think people would go there with the intent of doing harm to anybody so on that basis and with potentially free drugs for all mars inhabitants etc, it could be a really good thing for the mu and something different. Be cool seeing a planet not that far from earth that becomes a place for galaxy wide refugees and like minded lovers of all. Of course every place has it's seedy stories but it could be cool.

Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Does it need doing?
Yes.
Then it will be done.
Just how silly it was that Jean was in a pod or something, that Scott's character (and Maddie as well) was hurt to get him back to Jean, this incorrect perception of Jean's character, having to work through the destroying an entire planet thing.
The resurrection protocols don't work for me because the answer to meaningless deaths isn't to make them more meaningless.

My interest level just went through the roof with the return of adult Cable, penned by Al Ewing, and the character’s apparent involvement in the upcoming space stuff. Also excited for the big plans for Storm, whatever they are, and I feel that they are also interplanetary. Hoping those two cross paths or maybe even appear together in the Hickman book in September. Fingers crossed.
What do you think of Marvel launching this return series immediately into a crossover event? Would an over-sized one-shot or tie-in mini-series leading into a new ongoing have been better or do you think this is good or even better? I'm not sure how I feel, but Al Ewing seems to be the best overall writer at Marvel right now so I'm sure he'll make it work.
