Not only that, but the threat here is one you can easily sympathize with, for a growing number of reasons. It’s a great choice, and it gives this Hickman concluding miniseries a greater sense of consequence than any mutant story since House of X/Powers of X. ![]() Inferno #2 builds on the first issue of this book to point a threat directly at the heart of the era, Moira MacTaggert. ![]() Other books in the line have tried to point difficulties at the mutants (I mean, a story is barely a story without conflict), but it’s all for the most part felt pretty limp, mostly threatening individual characters rather than Krakoa as a whole. There are many other interesting things happening in the Krakoa era - mutant immortality based on cloning, relations with the global community, the amazing broken toys Hellions comic - but none of it functions even a little bit without the Moira plot, or least not as well. So, Moira lives her life, her life comes to an end, and she is reborn with all the knowledge she gained in her previous lifetime. Not only that, but her mutant power is reincarnation, backward into the same life that she’s just lived. See, if there is a central plot point to the last two years and change of X-Men comic books, it is the revelation from House of X #2 that long-time human ally Moira MacTaggert is actually a mutant. ![]()
