Fall of the House of X/Rise of the Powers of X Omnibus
After years of acclaimed and unforgettable storytelling, the Krakoan Era of X-Men comics finally reaches its shocking conclusion!
Mutantkind has never had a greater fall, from the highs of Krakoa - their own glorious nation, a place where they were safe and happy - to the lowest of lows. Now, they face two of the greatest threats to ever target them at the same time. Orchis has left them outlawed and hunted, with most of their kind missing or dead - and one of their greatest leaders, Cyclops, on trial and facing the death penalty. Meanwhile, a secret adversary has risen to power - and as hopeless as the fight to save their species might seem, it's nothing compared to the fight to save the entirety of reality. Ready or not, the time has come to make their final stand against the forces that have struck them low - across every corner of the globe and all of time itself! The Avengers join the fight! Ms. Marvel learns what it means to be an X-Man! Tony Stark and Emma Frost are the ultimate power couple! Magneto returns from the grave! A team of dearly departed X-Men undertake a vital mission! And the destiny of mutantkind is forever changed!

The core Fall/Rise material is pretty good, with a definitive end that has a grand scope worthy of Hickman and Morrison. It throws Xavier and Moira under the bus again, but at least it centers the X-Men in their own story and each of the teams gets to contribute something useful, which I appreciate. I also quite liked Dead X-Men, whose multiversal travels are completely played out but provide some much needed character context and emotion to counter the cerebral, cold Hickman style of the main series.
Unfortunately, it's presented as the opener to this omnibus, when it's chronologically the end of the story. If you haven't already read these comics as they came out, you'll only figure out what's going on after you read Dead X-Men halfway through, and then reread Sins of Sinister in a completely different book, etc. As usual, the Krakoa era is poorly mapped with only the bare minimum of recaps.
Speaking of crossovers, the 8 issues of Iron Man and the Avengers tie-ins are a total slog. Ms. Marvel and Cable are irrelevant and forgettable, just thrown in here because they were published around the same time. The cameos from less popular X-folks are always appreciated, but the way the camera lingers on Kingpin is cringeworthy.
