I am not satisfied this mutant saturation is the most effective transfer, nor that “From The Ashes” was value Marvel editorial pulling the plug on the X-Males’s new homeland Krakoa. Do not get me improper, although, there have been some good “From The Ashes” titles — amongst them “Phoenix” by Stephanie Phillips and Alessandro Miracolo.
