Krakin’ Krakoa #57: Is Hickman’s X-Men An Alternate Reality?

by Leave a Comment

Since the launch of House of X and the Hickman era of X-Men, and certainly throughout my Krakin’ Krakoa exploration of X-Comics, the possibility of Krakoa as an alternate reality is a popular and potentially exciting theory. The ambition and vision of Professor X, Magneto, Moira MacTaggert and mutantkind is grand enough that it begs the question whether all this change is really happening in Marvel’s core Earth-616 timeline.

Today I’ll answer:

  • Is the Krakoa Era an Alternate Reality?
  • Who are the Omega Level mutants most likely to play a role in a Hickman era alt universe?
  • If there is an alternate reality in play, what should it look like?

Supporting Black Comics & Creators

by 6 Comments

It’s a small thing, but I’ve been hearing from black colleagues about the importance of using your platform – whatever that is – to help fight racial injustice, and Comic Book Herald is simply the best way I can do that. So the only work I’ll be releasing this week is a guide to my favorite black comic book creators and comics that can help expand understanding of black Americans’ experience.

Putting my money where my mouth is, every month I donate at least 10% of Comic Book Herald earnings to various charities, and this month all proceeds will benefit the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and Chicago Community Bond (including all proceeds that may arise from affiliate links or ads in this post). I would encourage you to consider donations, or to see some options via this guide from Barack Obama. [Read more…] about Supporting Black Comics & Creators
