They’ve quietly prevented any mutant precogs from being given the gift of mutant resurrection. See, Krakoa is all a part of Professor X and Magneto’s plan with the reincarnating mutant Moira MacTaggert, who holds a grudge against Destiny and all precognitive mutants.

It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. And if she can’t have that, she’ll burn Krakoa to the ground. This Inferno has been simmering since the beginning of the Dawn of X era, and will doubtless have its own twists and turns, but it still has the rage of a woman wronged at the center of it: Mystique wants her wife, Destiny, resurrected. The original Inferno was set ablaze when Madelyne Pryor - a clone of Jean Grey and Cyclops’ ex-wife - made a deal with a devil, transforming her into the Goblin Queen and New York City into her own hellscape, all for the goal of taking revenge on the man who’d abandoned her and her baby, the woman he’d replaced her with, and all of their friends. That is, Inferno, the epic and beloved 1989 crossover. This week’s X-Men #20 set up a heck of a tease for X-Men fans by announcing that “Inferno” is coming soon.
