I was very into Charles Xavier reading Sinister to filth.

I really like this series. It‘s messy and all over the place. But I like the characterizations and complexities of so many of these characters. It‘s big, and top heavy. But I‘ll miss Krakoa.

The Krakoan Era is technically over, but I'm still catching up! A lot of people think that it went off the rails after Jonathan Hickman left, but Kieron Gillen's Immortal X-Men is really great. Beautiful art by Lucas Werneck, too. The Quiet Council finally pays for its sins.

I absolutely loved this event. It pays off a number of narrative threads going all the way back to the origins of Krakoa in HoX/PoX. Mr. Sinister finally gets everything he wants and casts the universe into chaos. The story spans 1,000 years, blending real character stakes with playful space opera elements and high concept sci-fi. This is the X-Men version of Star Wars & Star Trek rolled into one.

One of the funniest X-Men panels ever

Including an issue drawn by Phil Noto makes the other artists look like amateurs. This story has to connect to multiple crossover events, which makes it a bit hard to follow.

They don‘t advertise it on the box, but Funko‘s enormous enamel Storm pin glows in the dark! I‘ve been enjoying her eerie light since last summer, but she never got bright enough for my phone‘s camera to pick up until a few days ago, when I had the overhead lamp on for a bit longer than usual. Now I get to share this joy with the world.

An epic crossover saga dealing with the fallout from House of M. There was a volume between these two, but it didn't sound interesting. I haven't read much X-Men comics, most of my knowledge is from TV shows and movies, but this was fairly easy to follow and an excellent story. The consequences are numerous and, while I'm sure they are eventually retconned, feel substantial. Art is mostly solid, but some seriously wonky Cyclops masks... 😅

tokorowilliamwallace Nice, a Mr. Sinister arc? 7mo
TieDyeDude @tokorowilliamwallace Not really. I was kinda hoping it was, because I'm not super familiar with him, but he doesn't have much of a role in this story. 7mo
tokorowilliamwallace @TieDyeDude Aww, such a shame; he used to be a favorite villain of mine and my friend's. 7mo

To be honest, I‘m more or less dragging myself through this Marauders run (how is all this queer time travel into the distant past so dull?), but I do very much like the idea of all the mutants from maybe-alternate future dystopias betting on which of their timeline‘s crappy things are gonna happen first.

Lindy Apples going extinct = 😟 8mo
xicanti @Lindy let‘s hope that‘s one of the alternate futures, not the one that actually happens. 8mo
Lindy @xicanti indeed! 8mo

As with most short story collections, quality is inconsistent. Some tales are better than others, but the art is quite good across the entire book. Also, some stories end just as they are getting interesting. I would have preferred a single tale rendered in this style.
