The promise of Krakoa was one of healing. The Hellions represented that hope and belief that everyone could have a second chance.

This week we say a tearful goodbye to the Hellions as we wrap up their wonderful little series and see if the promise of redemption was fulfilled. Plus, we cover the end of Excalibur by Tini Howard and how its' not-quite-goodbye will be returning to us very soon.

This week we're covering the leviathan-whale-kraken adventure of Wolverine in #19, the penultimate issue of Marauders and its' slow race to the finish, as well as beginning the final arc of Hellions and the fallout of Emma's plan.
