House of X/Powers of X by Jonathan Hickman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.

After seeing the hype around this new X book I was excited to pick it up and read it after years not reading any new comics. I hoped that it being a new start would be a great point to jump back into the universe. 

I liked the concept of Krakoa, and the idea of the x-men/mutants creating/living on their own island, however it just wasn't for me. It didn't really grab me, and I found that I haven't gone back to, or wanted to go back to, this comic for over a year now. So DNF it is.
