As Earth comes to terms with the new global superpower, the mutant nation's leaders attend an economic forum to show the humans who’s in charge now. And when the New Mutants return from space, they bring intergalactic trouble with them! The Brood! The Starjammers! The Shi'ar Imperial Guard! But what do they all want?

No se, capaz me sobreestimule de tanta informacion y que creo que entre con 0 contexto del krakoa era de X-men que no me encanto pero aun asi me gusto. El arte es bueno y iconico ya siento yo. Creo que Hickman puede escribir a los personajes inteligentes muy bien como Charles y Reed Richards. Siento que el setup de este volumen es decente y me intriga ver como varios personajes manejan esta isla pero tambien este no es un buen lugar para entrar sin contexto de lo que ha pasado en el universo para que captes la escala de lo que esta pasando. Confio que en el segundo volumen mi interes va subir otra vez.

I thought this was something I'd overlooked in Hickman's initial X-Men run, but it's actually a collection of the first two volumes of the X-Men series and a couple Giant Size X-Men issues. So, mostly repeats for me.

But really solid repeats! Having read much, much farther into the X-Men series (all the way to the Fall of X now), it was fun to go back to the beginning, when plots were looser and more intriguing. Hickman's elevated writing style certainly adds a compelling layer of mystery that later authors are lacking.

Maybe I'll just re-read the whole series again...
