X-Men: Age Of Krakoa - Dawn Of X Omnibus Vol. 1

by Jonathan Hickman, Marvel Various (illustrator), Leinil Yu (illustrator)

In the wake of HOUSE OF X/POWERS OF X comes a new age for mutantkind! The mutant nation of Krakoa has taken its place as a new global superpower, with the influential leaders of the Quiet Council making the big decisions - and fan-favorite heroes (and villains) finding their place in the new world! Cyclops, Jean Grey and their extended clan make a Summer House for themselves - on the moon! Wolverine finally has everything he ever wanted - but that means he has everything to lose! The reunited New Mutants head out on a cosmic quest to find a missing friend! A dangerous crew of mutants are recruited for X-Force - one half intelligence, the other half special ops! Meanwhile, Captain Kate Pryde sets sail on the high seas with her crew of Marauders, searching for mutants in need! A new Captain Britain leads Excalibur, and one of their number is…Apocalypse?! But who are the Fallen Angels?

***after adding it to my pre-order***
I think I have read the majority of this book in the trade paperbacks. I do not love all the story lines (Excalibur I remember especially being shitty) but my enthusiasm when starting this run of
X-Men was very deep. I do not know if I will continu on collecting these omnibuses but the first one, the collector in me wants to have that one.

Returning to the start of the Krakoan era is a delight. Tightly plotted, cross title development. And a core ethos and plan moving forward at a clip
And this omni has some of the best bits Davos, The Crucible, Hickman New Mutants, Captain Britain. Warwolves!

[Communist Mimikyu · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's good overall. Highlights for me are X-men and New Mutants. What can i say? i enjoy Hickman. Everything else is generally good to solid with the sole exception of Fallen Angels, which was 100% genuine ass

Never read this during the original run so I’m just catching up years later but what an exciting direction to take this world. Just endlessly clever.
