Still at the beginning, but this is not a great start.
The Betsy Braddock/Kwannon split HAD TO HAPPEN. Someone knows this story better, but in the late 80s, Marvel wanted a Japanese fetish character. So they forged two minds into one, and had a busty ninja in a swimsuit and knee high boots fighting alongside Cyclops and Wolverine. 30 years later, they decided this was ridiculous, and split the two characters.

Nothing like a little exposition to move the plot along. Okay- we know what Morgan Le Fay wants- instantly more intrigued.
I do not like the Forge/Furies. Are they robots? Are they sentient? Are they on earth? Why exactly are they tied to Morgan Le Fay? Why is someone who loves magic using some kind of robot for muscle? I think they used the term cybiote earlier. I have no idea if that is a real term.

The Fantastic Four stories felt intensely tired to the Marvel Universe, even when they were in outer space.
This is more like Black Panther by Ta Nehisi Coates. It is a stand alone story, and any relevance to Marvel is purely coincidental. The second book was better than the first. Morgan Le Fay isn't convincing as a villain. She seems easily defeated and I'm not sure what her motivation is.
