As someone who spent a chunk of their morning on the wiki, Akkaba is a sect devoted to returning Apocalypse to life after he died and was replaced by Archangel.

X-Force felt like the same kind of wheels-spinning mutant hating story that made the X-series feel so tired for so long before this

I was slightly interested by the poo poo with Domino and whatever cabal she was among, but holy poo poo what an unexciting story of “super soldiers with guns + tech attack the XMen”

Though I do think that those super soldiers have some of Dominos DNA (maybe literal skin? They all had white streaks on their body) in order to trick Krakoa

Does anyone care about Jubilee? About Shogo? About Rogue being under some mysterious magical illness? I want to like Excalibur but come on, it’s just several tropes stapled together (mysterious illness, inconvenient child, kidnapped sibling)

Well, the mutants themselves seem pretty decently designed. Magik seems badass, Roberto and Sam seem like they’re being given due diligence.

A co-worker purchased House of X hardcover and holy poo poo did I like it (I wasn't wild about the Ascension stuff, but in the end I thought it paid off.) Can I JUST read X-Men (Vol 5) will the continuing story make sense? I don't want to have to read like 17 different X books

(Hi Sal) if you like the Krakoa stuff I would read X-Men and then maybe Marauders (if you want more Krakoan politics) or X-Force (for individual’s interactions with Krakoa)

Half a thought:

Back in the day, late in Claremont's run, Nimrod was able to talk Master Mold into throwing both of them into the Siege Perilous (to become Bastion?) because Nimrod's new way of thinking meant that he'd effectively "mutated." I remember that Claremont very specifically had Nimrod go from acting like a robot to more deliberately human speech patterns over the course of maybe 30 issues in the background, to the point where he had a somewhat deadpan sense of humor.

Trying to make friends with the machines doesn't work, but what if Moira's goal is to get Orchis's recreated Nimrod and have that "mutate" the way the original did?

That’s an interesting theory seemingly supported by the Hellions run, the Smileys they destroyed seemed to be evolving in their AI at that moment, effectively mutating. Maybe the lil Robobaby Nanny is watching over will develop a competing technology for ORCHIS?

Couldn’t they be summoned by chaos magic, indicated by the whole “They’re healing themselves?!?!”

Also, seems like a ridiculously bad idea to take a character with a history of emotional outbursts and jam them full of the last 10-20 years of their own trauma.

there isn't a time gap at all. when xavier showed up in x-force it seemed like the jig was up and colossus had been caught in the act. but xavier doesn't actually suspect a thing and was there to invite colossus to the council.

Alright here’s a thing then: how did Mr. “I’m constantly backing up everyone’s quintessence in case they die” miss the fact that Colossus just did a murder he didn’t even want to do

As far as security, one of the text pieces explicitly notes that the tidal patterns of the beach they were surfing on are too extreme for their security measures.

Seems like bad security to have a giant blind in your security forces, to be aware of it, and to just kinda gently caress it off until next month or whatever. Especially when they seem to be invaded every few weeks. Resurrection protocols making everyone lazy.
