kubert stays my favorite wolvy artist, so this is cool
well, favorite after sam keith but that feels less likely
My prediction:
The future is Moira's 6th life, of which she bargained with the Phalanx to join with them, die, and then be brought back to try again. Her subsequent lives were all planned out using the Phalanx's mind thus leading to the current timeline.
Also, SHE MAY NOT HAVE THE BEST INTENTIONS! *insert ominous music here*

okay what is this from, because it looks pretty damn worth my attentionReady to have my mind ripped open
The Sentry with the death seed
I haven't read it, but saw it posted here some days ago
This was me all day yesterday. Don't know why I convinced myself I was going to wake up to PoX.
One day of spoiler resistance to go!
Edit: One question to the people reading the spoilers. Hype check - Is this indeed a red issue?

Franklin and Immortal are mutants Hulk probably somehow remained hidden or no longer counts
Why is it the last issue and we still have redactions? :/
This issue was okay. It kind of felt like a B-story for HoX #6 with some assorted revelations - big revelations in some cases, but they still felt a bit like footnotes.
It does raise something that I'd always wondered about the X-Men - homo superior are objectively the next evolutionary stage of humans, but humans have developed tools and technology to ensure that we don't need to evolve any more to adapt to the environment. So evolution into mutants was never a done deal, because we don't have a harsh environment that only they can survive.
The big revelation for me is that Sinister hasn't been revealed to be messing with DNA or whatever. He's just a dick and Moira doesn't trust him. (And he chimera'd himself, but we knew that already.)
(Sidenote: Comixology releasing an issue in the store and then delivering it to subscribers half an hour later is baffling. It's made me late for work throughout this whole event, so I guess I'll be buying normally instead of subscribing from now on.)
Edit:
A concise retelling of Moira's lives.

Remember the Sinister secret about him ("the best at what he does") and her ("married with a kid")? He and Moira are absolutely secret lovers. Chances are Xavier, Magneto, and Poc don't know that though... or at least not yet.
This was a good end. More of an epilogue, but the stakes are set and tangible, and this is easily the best new stat quo Marvel has done since Dark Reign. Looking forward to a bunch of this stuff coming up later/gestating in the background, and some fun X-Men action/drama in the meantime.
I feel like there was some meta I'm missing in this. I'll throw this in spoilers and hopefully someone can help me
Was the big revelation just that the mutants always lose, there is no way for Charles and Magneto to ever have this perfect world they want.
That was a very satisfying ending. Not sure how much of the following books I'll actually keep up with, but HoX/PoX was a fantastic ride, and managed to stay on schedule! Last event I tried to follow was Secret Wars which was delay hell lol
Probably going to reread the entire thing tonight when I get home from work now that it's complete.

Wow, this was a great ride. So much potential, such a strong starting point for storytelling and a satisfying story in itself.
I need to re-read this all and get those redactions read because Moira is still on the board (sort of). She is probably a husk at this point. Her notes on breaking Charles are... troubling. I am subscribed to all of Dawn of X, and I can't wait to see where we all go from here.

Dangling the promise of bringing Destiny back to Mystique, that'll sure end well...and now we have an unofficial mutant law, no precogs on Krakoa
The secret of Moira, her past lives and all their doomed ends is like the sword of Damocles hanging over Krakoa
Was hoping for a few more minor reveals, but oh well

Damn, what a ride. Great ending that delivered. Not quite a bang but that was expected, and I really love this new era we've entered.
Will be picking up Marauders and New Mutants, very excited for those but especially for the former. I wanted to follow X-Men (weird that there's no "Uncanny") too but budget says only follow two.
I still hate that Jean lost her Red suit though. Grr.

Great final issue. Sure, maybe less reveals that expected, but the thing is... It seems not so much was left to be revealed, only the main lingering question of the two series (life 6), and that's it. If you discount the redacted entries on Moira's diary the mini-series have answered all the main mysteries they set out with. Now it's a matter of finding out how Krakoa will evolve from here, and that's what the main series is for.
Some people seem to be disappointed by this being just the setup to a much larger run, but that's always what it was meant to be, and I'd say it's the best setup I've read in a long time. Certainly the most invested I've been reading comics on a weekly basis since at least Secret Wars (another Hickman series, he has a knack for this).
Little moment I loved: finding out that Moira saying "you're the best at what you do" in PoX #4 was actually a callback to her death on life 6.

Great run, really looking forward to what happens next. Trying to figure out what run to follow next, but I might just end up going with all of them and seeing which ones I enjoy.
Something about all this is funny to me, like the end result of all this is... another genocide plot, except they have a really good plan this time.
I guess the ticking time bomb for this whole series now is when they end up reviving a precog.

The fact that it turns out this isn't actually a galaxy brain master plan but a well-informed attempt to fight off the inevitable has actually made this X-Men future waaaaay more interesting to me. Like the morally questionable stuff is was more morally questionable now. The stuff that will inevitably go wrong is just that. I can dig it.
Why do they even need Mystique that much? If they are willing to do shadier stuff for the sake of the greater good, why not move her off the board? Krakoa stasis could be one solution.
She's extremely useful power wise. And yeah, I imagine the stasis is plan B if it becomes too difficult.
Search for Dawn of X and you should find a few relevant articles.
She isn't though. Copycat/Vanessa Carlysle has the exact same powerset but is vastly better at it.
Also interesting is that it seems like it's hinted that Moira screwing with Charles' mind that way was responsible for Onslaught.
Which of course would be pointless, given what Moira's powerset is.

I dunno, I still think they have a galaxy brain master plan. The whole scene with Mags, Xavier, and Moira having tea this issue really hammers home that they're up to something above and beyond Krakoa and what's happening on the surface.
It's a pity that the "big revelation" this issue seems to be that X3 is Moira 6, something that had already been pretty consistently guessed. Now it just makes me wonder who the Librarian actually is, and how they got a Cylobel that looks exactly like Moira 9 Cylobel.
I'm starting to think that this whole story will end with Wolverine killing Moira, though.
