At first, I found the concept of Krakoa interesting: mutants forming their own country but the writers never actually did anything with it! The vibe "We are mutants so wee are above human things like death but also democracy" is just weird. Claiming that your society is a utopia is fine and dandy but, by definition, utopias don't exist so show me how you are building it! Are there mutants who disagree on how the council runs things? Who are they? What are their arguments? How does the council deal with them? Are all mutants OK with letting go of their cultural background (especially those who are not American) to assimilate into the new mutant culture? What about the mutants who don't want to move to Krakoa? It could have provided a lot of internal conflict for the X-Men but no, nothing.

I read a comment about the early Krakoa stuff that it was "clearly" an Inhumans story they forced to fit the Mutants. I don't know if that's true or if it would have fit the Inhumans better but the Mutant Metaphor has gotten weird.

Maybe some day I'll read it but it's kind of the Ric Grayson arc of X-Men for me. It doesn't look good enough to bring me in no matter how long it goes on.
