Apocalypse convinces Nate to do away with all of the world leaders. Kitty didn't object (or say anything), so Nate goes ahead with the plan.

Uncanny X-Men V5 10
Once again, Kitty's yellow & blue costume stinks for crowd shots, I think she only is officially in one panel of the comic.
Did Nate kill the X-Men? The world believes so, as the issue ends with Cyclops coming back, and Magik joining the title. pic.twitter.com/xJWGZ2uwhj

Uncanny X-Men V5 Annual 1
I guess they are not counting the end of The Twelve where Cyclops & Apocalypse merged as a death?
Not a bad issues. We see how Teen Cable brought Cyclops back, and a fun flashback adventure of Scott's that, of course, comes around to the present.
Magik! pic.twitter.com/xojzkDwHMH

Larroca changed his style! More realistic than fun cartoony
Callahan from Astonishing V4 returns
Scott & Logan team up to rescue a slew of mutants including Magik and Dani!
And also Karma, Wolfsbane, and Havok.

Cyclops found a slew of old uniforms, a fun in-universe way to explain why their in their best outfits

I love so much how the best four lady New Mutants are on this team!
Hopefully the techno-virus gets removed soon.
Scott gets the Morlocks a new home
Chamber joins the team
Captain America wants to chat with Scott pic.twitter.com/MmYuIZ4EsL

Uncanny X-Men V5 15
I was hoping Captain America was going to off the X-Men a place to live. There has to be an old Avengers base or something they're not using
Hope has made Scott a literal Cyclops
Dark Beast removed Warlock from the ladies, and now he is bonded to a Jamie dupe pic.twitter.com/fHSufQ5f21

#WarOfTheRealms Uncanny X-Men 1
One page in, I immediately wanted to just bail on this mini, but I'm hoping it is full of Magik/Dani teaming up
Malekith has conquered everything, but Earth.
Dani is a Valkyrie again
Magik recruits Banshee & Hope for the rescue mission

#WarOfTheRealms Uncanny X-Men 2
I saw Alex & Scott with full beards & was very confused how much time had passed
Second to last page, Sabretooth references a bridge destroyed in the main title's 4th issue
I checked, and Magik doesn't appear in the main series, just Logan pic.twitter.com/UdAcJvOKdU

#WarOfTheRealms Uncanny X-Men 3
The final chapter really redeemed this mini for me. Nice seeing Magik & Rahne working together.
Magik beheads Sabretooth, after Rahne ripped his throat out
Rahne got to spend time with her husband & son, all too briefly
Sunspot died (for now) pic.twitter.com/TB7NJH23Wz

Uncanny X-Men V5 16
So I did not need to read War of the Realms, but Rahne leaves as its all too much, so maybe I did?
Scott steps down as leader, they'll just vote on everything now
Joseph has his own Brotherhood
Kwannon kills Joseph
Cute how Magik is holding Juggernaut back pic.twitter.com/HDOW33awyb

Uncanny X-Men V5 21
What is Illyana holding Emma up by? Her bra?
I love that they start talking telepathically, & Juggernaut doesn't know what is happening. That's fun.
Callahan turned Illyana into the Darkchilde.
Emma has made the world forget about mutants pic.twitter.com/AT9nSJhYvu

Uncanny X-Men V5 22
Last Issue!
Dani is disappointed in Scott
Havok dies
All of the X-Men return from the first arc, including Kitty!
Scott breaks Emma's Cerebro, so everyone knows mutants again.

I really enjoyed this series.
