Si Spurrier and Jan Bazaldua Bring Peace, Love and Justice To Krakoa!
Krakoa has its laws — but does it have justice? To remain a mutant sanctuary, Krakoa must safeguard itself against those who would damage its peace or traumatize its people. The lost must be found, and the wicked must face redemption — or retribution. It’s up to the ever-soulful swashbuckler Nightcrawler to keep the spark alive and Legion to host his unique team in the psychedelic mindspace called The Altar. With Pixie on point, Juggernaut as a one-man riot squad and a host of X-favorites on the beat, the Legion of X will do anything to protect mutants’ right to pursue happiness and hope. Kicking off with a hunt for a missing Arakkii god and a skinjacker possessing innocent mutants, read this issue and come meet Weaponless Zsen, Ora Serrata... and a villain worth praying for. The Destiny of X bares it heart and soul right here!

It's quite sad that Knights of X looks like it will be even more isolated from the other X-titles than Excalibur was. Maybe the story will be good enough to make up for that, but this decision kinda goes against Marvel's philosophy of integrating every book and every story as much as possible... maybe it would work better as a DC book, but in Marvel, the more isolated a superhero is, the less important they are to the readers.

Oh well. On the other hand, it's interesting to learn that Cassandra Nova is returning - I wonder if she merged back with Ernst, and/or if the two of them will be shown together and have their connection addressed. And Si Spurrier's X-book with Legion, Nightcrawler and Pixie feels very promising! As for New Mutants, while I do like Magik, I wish Marvel wouldn't put her in the center of the team; she already had lots of spotlight, while many of her teammates need this spotlight much more than she does now.

X-Men with Immortal and Red for me. I'm done with Excalibur and whatever they call it. Save Betsy.
