Will comes roaring back from his winter break with ten graphic novels in the bag, but he's much more interested in Steve finally starting Immortal Hulk.

After the big smashy climax last episode (Uhh, when was that posted? Don't worry about it!) we had a few special comics to read closing out 5 years of X-Men storytelling on the mutant nation of Krakoa. We read, discuss, and look back fondly on one of the best eras of X-Men, ever, and put it in context alongside each other era of the franchise.

Comics read: Avengers vol 9 #13, X-Men: The Wedding Special (vol 2) #1, and X-Men (vol 6) #35.

The House of X is falling, the Powers of X are rising, and Magneto is being resurrected. Why, how, and what does it mean to our favorite mutants? Ahhhh so many feels!

Comics read: The Resurrection of Magneto #1-2, X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #121-141, X-Men vol 6 #30-31, Fall of the House of X #1, Invincible Iron Man vol 5 #14-15, Rise of the Powers of X #1, Avengers vol 9 #12, Dead X-Men #1

We did it. We got there. Fall of X, and with it, the entire Krakoa era, has come to a close — except for a brief epilogue we'll read next episode. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. Come pull up a chair and enjoy the end of an era with us; an era that's lasted as long as this pod itself has.

As always our reading order comes from Reddit user Philander_Chase. Huge shout-out and thanks for their hard work.
