Whoa! Did not see THAT coming.
I remember reading an article a long time ago that put forth the idea that Doctor Strange and Thor were ideal comic book characters, because they dwelled in a different realm from ours. Their existence was inherently fantastic, unlike Spider-Man or the X-Men who were humans thrust into a protector role.
We get a good dose of that in this section.

Comic book fight scenes can be superfluous. Lots of punching and lasers and all of that. This one was pretty good.
How many war captains are there? And if Krakoa is an island where all Mutants are bound, why did it take so long for them to assemble?

That was the weak chapter. I am not entirely sure what we learned.
Though I didn't realize Northstar has become a powerhouse.

The Scarlet Witch is dead- not a spoiler, unless you count what happens on the first page.
I like what they do with Magneto when he is fighting for Wanda's resurrection- his face becomes invisible and disappears within the darkness of his helmet.
I am not entirely up to date on what has happened in the Krakoan era, but I like the reunion of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Iykyk.
