I can see why this made so many top lists in 2021! By far the most interesting utilization of Krakoa era rejiggering. An actual culture emerging, through the young mutants there. An emphasis on being different than humanity in every respect and on restorative Justice. It’s just really excellent on all fronts. The only (slightly) annoying thing was the artist change up in the last issue. I hate when that happens, especially when the artist(s) are excellent. I really didn’t care for that last one, but the stand by for the series so far has been so great, the reader is spoiled rotten.

wow, all the emotions huh? love that this is addressing issues that X-Men typically tries to avoid, and does it well. gets a little heavy handed towards the end, but i don't blame Ayala for that considering, again, that we don't really see discussions of things like 'are clones considered people by other mutants/Cerebro' and 'not every mutant needs to just accept how they are, some need help dealing with their physical forms.' also more gabby content yes good.
