And some memories…

And some songs from Dazzler.

Including this one specifically about Krakoa, the Last Krakoan Dream.

And while it may be called that in X-Men: Hellfire Vigil #1, there is potentially another title.

Which does turn up on Doug Ramsey's buffed-up body over in X-Men #19, also out today.

Krakoa Was For Lovers, by Dazzler. It did get a bit poly and fluid over there did it not? Well, the Hellfire Vigil seems to be reviving that as well.

As Dazzler sings a song based on her old mini-series with Hank McCoy…

 

Thankfully Jen Starkey hasn't read those back issues.

Ransom and Temper as well, across the X-Men Team divide…

All manner of possibilities open up. Less of a Vigil, more of a meat market.

Jean Grey and ghosts from the past…

Scott and Ben…

Okay, okay, maybe not Scott and Ben. As for Krakoa, there are divided opinions.

Regret from what once was and cannot be again.

Courtesy of the rest of humanity, that is. Oh, and robots from the future, don't forget them.

And while Dazzler sings about it…

Emma Frost shouts.

But it's not unanimous. Some aren't down with the Vigil as an event…

… some mutants with Krakoa even existing in the first place.

And for others, it threw up so many complications along the way.

The question is, is this a last hurrah for Krakoa? Is this literally the Last Krakoan Dream? Or will they keep these vigils going?
