Krakin’ Krakoa #80: The X-Men’s Secret School For Omega Level Mutants!

by Leave a Comment

I was caught by surprise recently when Krakin’ Krakoa listener Xavier D pointed out the children sitting around Krakoa campfires led by longtime X-Men villain Exodus look like kid versions of omega level mutants. The more I’ve thought about the observation, the more potential I find, and now I’m convinced Hickman’s X-Men is secretly telling us exactly what Krakoa’s plans are for Omega Level Mutants.

Today I’ll answer:

  • Is there a secret school for Omega Level mutants on Krakoa right under our noses?
  • Why would this be a part of Krakoa?
  • What does the theory of omega level mutant children mean for X-Men comics moving forward?

This week on Creannotators, I talked with artist Gisele Lagace about her work on the Image Comics series Exorsisters, her creator-owned webcomics careers, and the benefits of funding comics through Kickstarter.

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio/visual annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!

  • What does the “Devourer Herald” mean for Galactus in the Marvel Universe?
  • What insanely exciting Marvel Cosmic tease is revealed in Thor #6?
  • Where does the first volume of Donny Cates’ Thor fit into his Marvel Universe works?

Krakin’ Krakoa #77: X Of Swords (X of Storms) Theory: Who Is Ashake?

by Leave a Comment

I get a fair amount of Krakin’ Krakoa sleuths sending me theories and links about X-Men, which is a really fun way to see that people are engaging with the comics and with my own obsessing about them. In response to my X-Men FCBD 2020 video review, and theories about X of Swords and the mysterious Swordbearers of Arakko, a listener sent me their theory on the “Classified” apparent leader of the bunch. I stored the link away for later, but now that I’ve looked into it, I’m 98% certain their theory is spot on – I can’t for the life of me determine exactly who sent me this, so I just want to be clear I take zero credit for unearthing this, and want to thank everyone who sends me wild X-men theories to get my wheels spinning!
