This question comes courtesy of The Cerebros Podcast, who asked what you’d pick as the best 10 year run in Marvel’s history. I find this appealing because it moves us outside the arbitrary constraints of Marvel’s “Best Decade,” and allows you to spread the wealth!

Krakin’ Krakoa #65: Vulcan’s Secrets Revealed! X-Men #10 Review

by 2 Comments

X-Men #10 by Jonathan Hickman, Leinil Francis Yu and Sunny Gho is the first in-series Empyre event tie-in, and uses the Marvel Universe invasion of plant-alien Cotati on the Moon to dig into the secret mysterious of Vulcan, Gabriel Summers, the third Summers brother. There are some fascinating revelations here, a number of which connect to my Vulcan theories pitched way back in Krakin’ Krakoa #44, and what I’m predicting is a major X of Swords tease.

Today I’ll answer:

  • How does X-Men fit into the Empyre event?
  • What did we learn about Vulcan, and what does it mean for Krakoa and the Dawn of X?
  • What does this have to do with X of Swords?

Potential spoilers for discussed comics may follow!
