Goodbye Jonathan Hickman's X-Men. There were ups and downs but overall this has been the best X-Men run in a long long time. I'm grateful Hickman ushered in the age of Krakoa. So grateful that I'm actually glad his initial plans to put the X-verse back into the Marvel sandbox were dropped. I want Krakoa to stay. And I hope it stays for many more years.

I know Hickman needed to show how much of a threat Nimrod is but Magneto definitely got nerfed here. And I still kinda hate Moira being a Mutant. Aside from that, though, this was still a great comic with plenty of action and Krakoan political intrigue.

Hickman certainly wants to end his run with a bang. While this mini-series is probably the weakest he's written Magneto (which I'm surprised by as usually Hickman is on point with writing the character), Hickman still manages to write other characters like Emma, Mystique and Destiny in a way that makes me root for them like I never had before.

The X-Men books have always been my favorite since I started reading comics in the late '80s and what Hickman has done has been phenomenal! This whole inferno story was perfection to me ending with this final issue that was handled perfectly as well. This is a powerful story that leaves so many options for the next chapter in the X-Men saga. I love the X-Men and I absolutely the world Hickman has more

The tension is there by Hickman and the art is great by Caselli and Curiel. Skipping over some unexplained idiocies, this issue was worth the read as long as I purge the last year from my head. Moving right along to the next one.

A decent enough series finale but I still can't shake the feeling this series never consistently lived up to what it was pitched as. Which is a shame because it had the potential to be a truly awesome X-Men comic series. That being said, I still enjoyed it overall.
