Sets up an interesting new arc, but this arc was very dull.

The artwork is mostly good but the story is nonsensical at times. Some of the slow build is crawling, but I like redemption for the man possessed by the Shadow King.

It’s a very strange, cerebral, psychedelic book. But this is the best it’s been. The resolution of multiple ongoing stories in issue #24 was masterfully done. Ayala recognized injustices on Krakoa and shined a light on them, allowing characters to speak with their own voices, and made it make sense in the context of a fictional story. For some reason she couldn’t make Dani and Rahne kiss, but aside from that it was pitch perfect. Cerebella and Cosmar got to own their bodies and look how they want to look without ignoring the struggles they experienced to get here.

As a queer trans person it means a lot to me to see these characters be who they want to be.
