CAPTAIN KRAKOA & THE X-MEN!

Doctor Stasis makes his deadliest move yet as Captain Krakoa takes charge of the X-Men! But what is the lie at the heart of the newest mutant hero?

32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

Well, Dr. Stasis finally makes his move.

But, first, a class picture with his chimera who…

…who he poisons to allow them to go on their mission on NYC to…

…cause havoc and attract mutants.

It works and the X-Men oblige and…

…thwart Dr. Stasis’ plans forcing him to make an audible.

Sunfire finally plays the role Dr. Stasis wanted to play; igniting the liquid that he fed his chimera which is highly flammable.

In addition to, seemingly, what mutants to be enemy #1 again over this, he also has a plan for Cyclops specifically.

While he saves a child from a chimera he is wounded.

It’s not a fatal wound, so, Dr. Stasis make it one.

He knows Cyclops will come back to life and whispers to him where he can be found.

Considering how public Cyclops’ death was, necessitating a public funeral to honor NYC’s saviour, unless the mutant Resurrection Protocols are leaked, Cyclops will need to remain using his Captain Krakoa persona and keep his Cyclops persona dead.

The Pulse:

Compelling intrigue around Dr. Stasis and Cyclops. Solid art. Was hoping for more on the promised origin of Cyclops’ Captain Krakoa persona, but this arc is only just beginning. I’ll be back. 8 out of 10.
