Witchbreed, Krakoa, Arakki & Clones- This Week's X-Books (Spoilers)

But he believes its time is rather limited.

It does have a legacy though. And the end of his time, in Savage Avengers #25, King Conan in his Doctor Doom suit still has fond memories of his time among the mutants, or at least Wolverine, and all that this brought. With Krakoa clearly having a history…
