The Krakoan nation: The decision to create the unified mutant nation of Krakoa was influenced by Moira's past failures, which convinced her and Xavier that a new, unified approach was needed for mutants to survive.
The far-future timeline: The issue shows a far-future scenario with the Librarian and the Phalanx, who are developing a new species called homo novissima through an "ascension" plan.
