Silva, Caselli, and Schiti each tackle a third of the issue. I’m glad other writers will continue in his stead. This isn’t the first time he’s done a long-form superhero story- his work on Fantastic Four, Avengers/New Avengers, and Secret Wars was essentially one colossal story- but he’s truly redefined the X-Men mythos. Not only does Hickman’s script pay off for fans who have been following the Krakoa era since House of X and Powers of X, but it’s also a reminder of how intricate and engaging his narratives are. The reason why Destiny wasn’t allowed to be resurrected, how Krakoa feels about being the base of a mutant nation and the true purpose of Nimrod are laid bare in this issue. This issue is Hickman as his best, as he starts to connect the threads of his larger narrative. Flashbacks reveal Cypher’s connection with the island of Krakoa and the secret formation of the anti-mutant organization Orchis. Picking up after the second issue, the cracks in Krakoa’s foundation began to show as Magneto begins to question the actions he and Professor X have taken to form their new mutant nation. Silva, Stefano Caselli, and Valerio Schiti inked by Adriano Di Benedetto colored by David Curiel, and lettered by VC’s Joe Sabino. Inferno #3 is written by Jonathan Hickman penciled by R.B.
