Parties And Prejudice On Krakoa, Today (Excalibur #8, Marauders #9 and Strange Academy #1 Spoilers)

In last week's X-Men #7, we got an idea as to how the Scarlet Witch was being treated by the mutants of Krakoa. Krakoa

No longer a mutant, the one who depowered a million mutants still, she is known as The Great Pretender.

Krakoa

Which must make it a little awkward amongst the faculty of Strange Academy.

Krakoa

With the Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch cheek by jowl with Illyana Rasputin, Magik. I wonder if Illyana calls her The Pretender in staff meetings? Especially when there's so much prejudice in display at the school already..

Krakoa

Though at least the teachers are all over that kind of behaviour.

Krakoa

I hate to think they'd be guilty of it themselves. Okay, so, two central Krakoan comics today. And last week's charge from New Mutants that there's always a party somewhere on Krakoa seems to be backed up in today's Marauders

Krakoa

While Excalibur gets down with the party vibe too.

Krakoa

Does anyone feel that Psylocke is talking to me? Back in Marauders though, the usual rules of the island must be obeyed…

Krakoa

…and not everyone is in a party mood. Just as Kitty Pryde cannot pass through the Krakoan portals, she cannot be revived by the Five…

And in Excalibur, Rictor is learning all sorts of things about Cullen Bloodstone.

Krakoa

There are lists online as well. Looks like someone else is just about to be added to it.

Krakoa

Though a not entirely welcome advance it seems. And with ulterior motives…


Krakoa

It may be a party in Krakoa, but not in Rictor's pants. Nothing is rumbling down there right now…
