We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
It's really bad. I wonder how new titles get pitched at Marvel, because this one screams "not interesting enough to go to series".
It'd be fine as a backup. Corporate superhero espionage is a decent enough concept as a side piece to maybe X-Men or something, not as its own book.

OP
The book stars Jamie Madrox - my favorite X-Character and I still can't be bothered to read it. Dreadfully boring and dull art.
Everything is ending in December - all of the solicits apart from X-Men are carrying "final issue" implications.
Then January is alternating weeks of X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine, plus the Sabretooth solo, followed by a line-wide relaunch.
(I wonder how long they can hold off on the solicits to avoid spoiling the outcome of Inferno.)
Edit: And as of today, we have our first new series of the relaunch!
Legionaries, passing the torch from Way of X/Onslaught Revelation.

oh my goodness. any juicy things come out of it for the future?
Yeah, they announced the follow-up to Way of X - it's a team book called Legionaries, and features Nightcrawler running a team of mutant cops.
Notably, one of those cops is Blindfold and another is Juggernaut, so I wonder if this is a sign to come of how the status quo is getting shaken up a bit.
(Edit)
The full team is:
- Nightcrawler
- Pixie
- Doctor Nemesis
- Blindfold
- Juggernaut
- uh, could have sworn there was someone else, can anyone else remember, it's on the tip of my tongue

That's the one person I didn't recognise, maybe it was Forge?
Blindfold though! That pre-cog ban is getting killed completely in Inferno eh?
They better not turn my boy Cain into a mutant.
They should definitely have a new Cyttorak avatar bound to the magic like Cain used to be though. Do a rendition of that Chuck Austen arc that doesn't suck!

I could see a scenario where Cain dies and they grab DNA from the 95% of the multiverse where he is a mutant to resurrect him.
They better not!
And it'd be easier to just have Sinister slap an X-gene into a clone. I'm sure Chuck made some backups of his brother.
Or say that he's been a mutant all along, and his power was to absorb magical energy and use it to enhance his physical power. Cyttorak didn't grant him his powers, just gave him a never ending supply of fuel.
I jave always wanted Juggs to be a mutant with an incredibly mundane power entirely unrelated to his powers from Cyttorak. Cerebro and Sentinels never picked him up because his powers blocked it out, even when he didn't have them some residual energy was still masking him.
My go to example for power is: Perfect accent mimicry.
He would never know it was a power.
Honestly, thougj, I feel like this is just going to be a post-inferno shift. We already have one human living on Krakoa, I think they're going to open it up to the human families of mutants.
Chuck Austen fans continue to feast during the Krakoan era. Now they just need to have Azazel show up in the Marauders to teach them how to be actual pirates
As for Juggernauts mutant status, I just presume that theirs quite a few normal humans on Krakoa but they aren't brought up because they're the parents of mutant children so would only matter in like New Mutants.
Meanwhile Kyle was a previous character and because of the heavy emphasis on LGBTQ themes in X-Factor it would make more sense to have Kyle be the one normal human that appears fairly regularly.

Any of these are good. I have just legitimately wanted Cain to be a mutant with a weak sauce power for damn near decades.
I love me some Dave and he puts up a nice pre-Inferno recap here. I forgot a lot of the little details we had through these 2 years.
oh fuck I missed this. OMG Dr. Nemesis, of course, Spurrier used him in Legacy. Juggernaut! Blindfold is back, so precogs are back after Inferno? No Legion? Fuck this is exciting.

Legion is their base. They have Krakoa gates hooked up to a pocket dimension inside his mind.
wasn't he? I know i've seen him recently in something I read.
I'd argue Hellions are probably the best series since Hickman started it all. Nonstop rocknroll.
Rogue really should be involved in a story about one of her mothers trying to bring the other back to life. It's a weird choice.
Has she really interacted with Mystique on Krakoa? It would have been interesting if both she and Mystique had been campaigning for the return of Destiny, or at least had a conversation about her.
I can't remember anything. Up until Duggan's X-Men, she's basically only interacted with the Excalibur cast.
Last I remember she told Mystique to fuck off but this was way before Krakoa, kinda fell off X-Men for while until this Hickman run
Pretty much. Also she already made her peace with Destiny a while back to so I could see here just waiting patiently for her mom to come back to life.
so, sicne we know very little of the "new" line, what DO we know?
- X Lives/Deaths of Wolvie
- new Spurrier book continuing of Way of X (Way of Spark?)
- Duggan / Pepe X-Men will most likely continue, maybe from #1 again?
- Sabretooth (mini? ongoing?)
that's it right?

This may seem like an incredibly obvious question, but this part:
What exactly are they referring to? I know in past issues touching on the Charles/Magneto/Mystique/Destiny thread this has been alluded to, but I can't remember what exactly is it about Destiny seeing the future that is such a threat to Krakoa? Just that the future of mutantkind, and all life on Earth, is Nimrod/machines and ultimately fusing with big machine collectives from space?

The Spurrier book is called Legionnaires.
I find hard to believe that a team book wouldn't be named after its team.
Part of me feels Moira has a plan that goes beyond what she has shared with Xavier and Magneto and for it to work no one can ruin the surprise.
oh ok, so it's literally something we don't know yet either then, haha. Cool. I keep seeing this teased as the big sword of damocles hanging over Xavier/Magneto and keep thinking, what have I forgotten?
I honestly think it all comes down to pettiness. Moria was killed very painfully at the orders of Destiny. And was also informed exactly how many lives she would have.
I think she's trying to leave Destiny dead both out of spite and to prove Destiny wrong. I honestly think Moira already plans to have this timeline reset at some point.
I honestly think that was Hickman's Third Act, a hard reset, Moria dies one more time either Cured or dies before her X-Gene activates and then he lets someone else set a new status quo.
They can't build a country and have everyone entirely behind it and supporting it if they know that it will fail. Knowing that failure is inevitable hinders the process of trying anything. Destiny knows it will fail.
She doesn't know that this one will fail. But she could know (because Moira knows and is acting from the perspective of knowing) that they always have. And she'll know whether this time fails or succeeds as well (and Moira doesn't know which it'll be, so Destiny being around makes that a risk).
Of course, my theory remains that Moira gamed this out with Destiny from a past life and they're manipulating everyone and everything to put Krakoa in an optimal position for success and eliminate some of its greatest threats on one fell swoop.
