The Krakoa era has been one of the most world changing events in modern comics’ history. It has had such a significant and lasting impact on the Marvel Universe that if a fan who hadn’t kept up opened an X-Men title from the past few years, they probably wouldn’t recognize what they saw. While the world of the X-Men has changed significantly since the old days, the Krakoa era has created a vibrant new world for Marvel’s mutants — a new world that has the potential to keep on giving.The story of mutantkind in the Marvel Comics Universe is one rooted in fear, mistreatment, and outright hostility. In some cases, those years of persecution lead to a future of annihilation. Whether it’s mankind or their post human robotic descendants, mutants have spent the overwhelming majority of their lives on the page fighting for a place of their own in the world, and that was just what the Krakoa era finally gave them. Gloriously revealed in House of X #1 (by Jonathan Hickman, Pepe Laraz, Marte Gracia, VC’s Clayton Cowles and Tom Muller) the dawn of this new mutant society totally changed the status quo for the X-Men and the rest of their kind. But owing to their role in the wider Marvel Comics Universe, the full potential of the Krakoa era is yet to be fully explored. To make the most of this new dawn, Marvel Comics needs to take a page from another book. Namely, the Slice of Life genre commonly explored in Manga and Anime.The Krakoa era gave the mutants more than just a new home. It gave them a new story. The mutants no longer had to face lives dominated by seclusion and ostracization. Krakoa allowed them to be more than that, and because they now had room to live, readers got their first glimpses of mutantkind as they were meant to be: something new and dynamic. They were a new species with new ways of life. In between the action, audiences have caught snippets of a burgeoning mutant culture, inspired by, yet different to, anything that came before. They built a civilization not built on race, or religion, or even creed, but influenced by all that had birthed it. But just as the Krakoa era has broadened the horizon of the mutants within the comics, the comics need to widen their scope to fully accommodate it.RELATED: Marvel Reveals More Surprising Connections Between Thor and the X-Men
