In what might be the perfect “April Fools” issue yet – the X-Men go back to space and deal with some Shi’ar stuff – because, of course they do! I just hope they don’t get in the way of Smasher’s overwhelming awesomeness!

I didn't enjoy this comic.
I'm beginning to dread whatever they have planned for Storm. There have been constant hints that she will be leaving Krakoa and now we have the head of the Shi'ar offering her a boon. Hickman's going to send her into space, isn't he? He really can't help himself.
So let's just pretend this story never happened. Fans can collectively overrule continuity whenever we want by just ignoring it. If I can do it with the Dibnys at DC I can do it to protect my favourite X-Man.
Anyway, until Chris decides to pretend I don't exist, Make Mine X-Lapsed!
