X-Men #15

The House of M is restored as the Giant-Size X-Men Anniversary Event reaches its conclusion!

For 50 years, Giant-Size X-Men #1 by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum has stood as one of the most important moments in Marvel Comics history, reshaping the X-Men forever. Now, Marvel celebrates its milestone anniversary with an all-new, five-part event spanning the greatest eras of mutantkind! Fans can learn about the event’s final two chapters on sale in July: Giant-Size House of M #1 and Giant-Size X-Men #2.

From the emergence of Krakoa in Giant-Size X-Men #1 to Age of Apocalypse, House of M and The Dark Phoenix Saga, history has shaped – and shattered – the X-Men time and again. But what if those moments held deeper secrets? What if the past wasn’t set in stone? Acclaimed X-Scribes Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing join forces with legendary X-Men artist Adam Kubert and superstar artists Rod Reis, C.F. Villa, and Francesco Manna for an epic journey across the X-Men’s most pivotal stories. Kicking off this May in Giant-Size X-Men #1, the event continues in June’s Giant-Size Dark Phoenix Saga #1 and Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse. Then, the saga concludes in July with Giant-Size House of M #1 and Giant-Size X-Men #2!

In Giant-Size House of M #1, Kamala Khan witnesses the rise and fall of the Scarlet Witch’s doomed utopia twenty years after it first shattered mutantkind! She’s flown with the All-Different X-Men on their first mission, withstood the Dark Phoenix and survived the Age of Apocalypse – and now Ms. Marvel is rewarded with a world where mutants reign supreme! But beneath the gilded surface, this utopia is rotting with prejudice and oppression – and Kamala must find an unlikely ally in schoolteacher Kitty Pryde to help her learn to live in this brave new world. But if Kamala is here…so is Legion! What dangerous power will he unleash – and can Kamala recruit allies in time to stand against him? Or will she – and all of mutantkind – be newly decimated?

Then, with all of mutant history standing behind her, Ms. Marvel reaches the culmination of her journey in Giant-Size X-Men #2! It all comes down to this. The final confrontation between the mad Old Man Legion and the New Mutant, Ms. Marvel. At stake: Jersey City, New York and the White Hot Room itself. Kamala Khan understands now what it truly means to be a mutant – but will that be enough to stand against the most powerful enemy she has ever faced? Will she truly stand alone? And how will the aftermath of this adventure change Kamala Khan forever? Adam Kubert returns to close out the event with his breathtaking art in this can’t miss issue that takes things back to present day!

Each Giant-Size X-Men one-shot also features a Revelations Back-Up Story that uncovers hidden lore behind each respective story and sets up exciting present-day developments for the near future. In Giant-Size House of M #1’s Revelation Back-Up Story, current Wolverine creative team Saladin Ahmed and Martín Cóccolo reveal a secret memory that was disclosed to Wolverine at the end of House of M! For the final Revelations Back-Up Story in Giant-Size X-Men #2, current X-Men scribe Jed MacKay and acclaimed artist CAFU showcase a major new player in the X-Universe!

Fans can experience a special prelude to the event by picking up Free Comic Book Day 2025: Fantastic Four/Giant-Size X-Men #1 on May 3.

Starting in May, Marvel celebrates its milestone anniversary with an all-new event revisiting key X-Men storylines in a series of Giant-Size X-Men one-shots, including Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse which features a Revelations Backup Story by Eisner Award-winning writer Jeph Loeb, an architect behind the original Age of Apocalypse, and superstar artist Simone Di Meo!

Across the five anniversary one-shots, the Revelations Backup Stories will reveal hidden lore behind each respective story and setsup exciting present-day developments coming in the near future. In Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1, Loeb returns to the iconic dystopian future he helped create! Age of Apocalypse shook the X-Men to its core in the ‘90s, and now, one of the era’s most prolific creators is back to reignite the groundbreaking storyline just in time for its own major milestone anniversary!

What if these critical moments held deeper secrets? What if the past wasn’t set in stone?

Villa and more!

The event sees Ms. Marvel pulled into the distant past by an unstable and unleashed Legion! Locked in a battle through time against the Omega-Level mutant, Kamala Khan is only one standing in the way of X-Men history being warped forever! Following Giant-Size X-Men #1 and Giant-Size Dark Phoenix #1, Kamala finds herself stuck in the darkest future of all in Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1! Worse yet: It’s only hours from its inevitable end; if Kamala can’t find what’s left of the X-Men, she’ll burn in nuclear hellfire. Former enemies must learn to rely on one another as they journey through a land of charred bones and broken promises…but can Legion truly be trusted? And how far will Rogue go to teach Kamala the true meaning of mutant identity? Welcome back to the Age of Apocalypse – where no one survives the experience!

Check out Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse’s main cover by Adam Kubert along with a variant cover by Simone Di Meo and stay tuned for more information about the Giant-Size X-Men Anniversary Event, including announcements for Giant-Size House of M and Giant-Size X-Men #2.
