Tini Howard’sExcaliburhas seen Apocalypse rig the mutant raceway into conquer the mystical property of Otherworld . Finally , inExcalibur#9the ancient mutant lastly reveal his destination . " Krakoa is only half of a whole , " he explains . " always longing . And I made it that way . “He ’s recalling his first sojourn to Krakoa , glimpse inPowers of X#4 , when the island of Okkara became a gateway for a subspecies of diabolic invaders . Apocalypse used a mystical artillery called the Twilight Sword to tear Okkara aside - into two part , Krakoa and Arakko . Here ’s the pinch , though ; back in November last yr , Marvel publishedX - Men#2 , in whichKrakoa and Arakko were reunite . Clearly all ofExcalibur- Betsy Braddock ’s becoming Captain Britain , Jamie Braddock conquering Otherworld , and their in style pursuit to the Starlight Citadel - is in reality setup forX - Men#2 . The Hickman geological era is actually out of guild .
Meanwhile , X - Force#9 makes the same breaker point , albeit in a more pernicious path . It sees X - Force tax return to the island of Terra Verde , which they visited inX - Force#6 ; that issue cease withBeast unwittingly create a new race of bio - engineered Sentinel beings . However , according to Beast ’s notes inX - Force#9 , several months have passed between these two issues .
Jonathan Hickman is a talented writer , and he has significant creative ascendance over the entire X - Men franchise right now . As a result , it ’s clean he ’s made the originative pick to play around with the timeline . Readers should be very wary of assuming everything run in strict chronological social club ; the story is far more sound than that . Meanwhile , the really interesting dubiousness is just how the tenner - playscript currently relate to the rest of the Marvel Universe ; is it potential some of these issues - such asX - Men#1 and the unification of Krakoa and Arakko - are still in the " future ? "
Excalibur#9andX - Force#9 are now on sale now from Marvel Comics .
