Way of X (Comic Book)	comment	Way of X is a 2021 series from Marvel Comics, written by Simon Spurrier with art by Bob Quinn, and color art by Java Tartaglia. Nominally a team book, it effectively stars Nightcrawler, surrounding him with a loose-knit supporting cast of other Krakoan mutants.Set in the shared Marvel Universe, the series is part of the wider X-Men line and was launched as part of the Reign of X arc, the second phase of the long-running Krakoan Age saga.Krakoa, the living island, is now a nation in its own right, a new homeland for all mutants. By combining their powers, Krakoa's mutants have also achieved Resurrective Immortality - any mutant who dies can be reborn with a new body housing a back-up of their mind.It's close to paradise. Or, at least, it should be. But Nightcrawler's troubled by some aspects of Krakoa, and is trying to analyse his own reaction. Is it just culture shock, a clash when his old cultural values and religious faith run up against Krakoa's bold new way of life? Or is there something else, something horribly real, lurking in the shadows?The series concludes with a one-shot, X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation, which Spurrier describes as the "season finale" of Way of X. That's then followed by a Sequel Series, Legion of X.Before the first issue, writer Si Spurrier released a number of teasers: teaser 1, teaser 2, teaser 3, teaser 4, teaser 5, and teaser 6.

Way of X (Comic Book) / int_297ab1b9	comment	Parental Abandonment: Issue #3 reveals that this is becoming a growing problem on Krakoa. Mutants embracing the libertine culture of Krakoa are not as keen to actually be responsible for the children that are born from their sexual escapades. Stacey X has created an impromptu orphanage to take in these babies, and she tells Nightcrawler that on average they've been getting a new kid every week. She notes that this is the downside to the "Make more Mutants" law — people are making new Mutants alright, but they're not actually taking care of them.

The result is pure chaos. So Nightcrawler realizes he must find a way for Krakoa to not fall into anomie, to make it "we before me."

First we have Kurt, who is a mess because heâ€™s going through an existential crisis due to the moral questions he has about Krakoaâ€™s laws and new way of life. Heâ€™s by joined by his semi-protege Pixie who is acting as the Only Sane Woman of the cast who is busy trying to help with his and everyone elseâ€™s issues. Then thereâ€™s Dr. Nemesis, the condescending man of science to Kurtâ€™s man of faith and Grumpy Old Man who is currently growing mushrooms from his head. Next up is Legion the mentally ill son of Professor Xavier whoâ€™s hunting Onslaught with very questionable tactics. Stacy X brings in another foil to Kurt by showing him the consequences of his laws. In peripheral we have the Xorn brothers, the walking Power Incontinence named Lost, Fabian Cortez a sociopath so arrogant even Doctor Nemesis can't stand him, and Loa.

In Issue #4, Kurt and Legion see that the terraforming of Mars has made all the volcanoes active, and they've been erupting almost nonstop since. Also, the tidal forces of the moons, while not strong enough to affect the new oceans, kick up deadly sandstorms that Dust has to spend her time keeping under control so that any alien visitors to Sol's new capital don't get shredded to bits.

Way of X (Comic Book) / int_9da6c3a0	type	Never Live It Down
Way of X (Comic Book) / int_9da6c3a0	comment	Never Live It Down: Kurt's "first law" of Krakoa back in House of X was to "Make More Mutants." This became something of a meme with fans because of how out of character it was for Kurt of all people to proclaim this, and because the X-Books as a whole have gotten a reputation for being Hotter and Sexier since. Way of X dissects this as Kurt is both embarrassed by this, and is uncomfortable that he has played a role in so many mutants losing their inhibitions. Then comes issue #3 where he learns that a number of mutants are abandoning the babies they have because they only care about the sex aspect, not actually starting families.

However, Kurt knows that while he may not like Crucible or people deliberately disregarding their own safety knowing they will be resurrected, there's nothing fundamentally wrong about it he can find. It just makes him feel uneasy, as if there are cracks in the society of Krakoa that someone will exploit.

Onslaught found a way to feed off of the bits of lost life between Cerebro's recordings and the moment of death and leave bits of himself to fill the gaps in the psyche.

Of course, her thoughts could have also been affected by Onslaught, since Legion was using them as bait.

Since there's no way to reverse this, David requests Nightcrawler kill his brain instead, knowing they can resurrect him on Krakoa. Nightcrawler complies, even though killing is against his religion:
