Fall of X forces Iceman to push his powers in Astonishing Iceman

Mutantkind has experienced unparalleled growth and prosperity on the island nation Krakoa – but can it really last forever? Following July’s X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1, mutantkind will enter a thrilling new era of uncertainty, danger, and mystery known as Fall of X! But as the X-Men recover from this brutal defeat, one member will strike out on their own as Earth’s new protector in Astonishing Iceman!

Just in time for the X-Men’s 60th anniversary, readers will witness one of the X-Men’s founding members embark on his most extraordinary chapter yet in a new ongoing series written by Steve Orlando and drawn by Vincenzo Carratù. Launching in August, Astonishing Iceman will elevate Bobby Drake to Super Hero greatness, complete with a new base of operations, never-before-seen uses of his abilities, and fierce new enemies. Iceman’s newfound purpose will position him amongst Marvel’s most powerful beings, but a dark side effect of his new mission could cause it all to shatter…

After the events of this year’s can’t-miss Hellfire Gala, Bobby Drake, aka Iceman, sets his sights on heroic deeds like never before. But as a new situation develops that links Iceman to his Antarctic ice palace, he’ll have to be slicker than ever to accomplish his mission before ORCHIS knows what hit them! See the Omega-level mutant as you’ve never seen him before in a new saga that’ll push Iceman to the limits of his powers…and beyond!

MegaCon 2023: Fall of X details revealed!

At the Marvel Comics: Fall of X Panel at MegaCon Orlando, fans got fresh insights into the X-Men’s upcoming new era, Fall of X! Senior Editor Jordan D. White was joined by a trio of X-Men talent—writers Gerry Duggan and Benjamin Percy and artist Joshua Cassara—to chat about some of the new series, stories, and shakeups in this exciting era.

Since 2019’s revolutionary House of X and Powers of X series, mutantkind has experienced unparalleled growth and prosperity on the island nation Krakoa – but can it really last forever? It all begins in July’s shocking X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1 one-shot where danger, conspiracy, and sacrifice threatens to shatter everything mutantkind accomplished on Krakoa. Revealed earlier today and showcased at the panel was a brand-new Fall of X teaser image by Bryan Hitch. The haunting image is accompanied by a list of Fall of X tie-in titles, some of which have yet to be announced! 

Below are additional upcoming titles and issues revealed at today’s panel:

  • Announced last month at Marvel Unlimited’s X-Men: 60 Uncanny Years Live Virtual Event, the devastating events of the Hellfire Gala and the tragic circumstances of Fall of X calls for the return of the Avengers’ Unity Squad in a new run of Uncanny Avengers written by Gerry Duggan and drawn by Javier Garrón! The new lineup will include Captain America, Rogue, Deadpool, Quicksilver, Psylocke, and Penance. This powerhouse new team must solve the mystery of who the new, murderous Captain Krakoa is — and stop his army of killers from igniting the fires of a new world war. Fans can check out the team on the newly revealed main cover of this highly-anticipated series!
  • Duggan will also continue to write X-Men throughout Fall of X. Following the Hellfire Gala, the title will see a cast shakeup with new additions such as the winner of this year’s X-Men fan vote and Kate Pryde. She’s been known as Kitty, Sprite, Ariel, Red Queen and Captain Kate. Now, as the X-Men finds their way through their darkest hour… SHADOWKAT emerges! Harkening back to the character’s ninja training, see the characters radical transformation in a new design sheet by visionary artist Peach Momoko.
  • Benjamin Percy’s run on X-Force has been delivering pulse-pounding action and thought-provoking drama since the Dawn of X, and now the stakes are higher than ever! Daniel Acuña joins as cover artist for this bold new era, and his X-Force #43 piece unveils new team leader Colossus on the frontlines with the squad…but where he leads them you will never expect!
  • Percy’s astounding work on Wolverine will also be kicked into high gear as the dire circumstances of Fall of X send Logan on the run and into a collision course with Ghost Rider! Alongside acclaimed artist Geoff Shaw, Percy will bring both his Wolverine and Ghost Rider runs together in a four-part epic: Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance! A demonic serial killer is murdering innocent mutants. But what is it about this deadly new villain that forces our two heroes to team up? And what buried secret does he share with Wolverine and Ghost Rider’s never-before-seen very first meeting in the past? The crossover kicks off in August’s Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance Alpha before unfolding in the pages of Ghost Rider #17 and Wolverine #36 and coming to a fiery conclusion in Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance Omega.
  • Fans also got a peek at Tony Stark’s new stealth armor on the cover of Gerry Duggan and Juan Frigeri’s Invincible Iron Man #9. With Feilong in control of Stark Unlimited and using its resources to build Stark Sentinels, Tony Stark has proposed a new alliance with Emma Frost. Tony will play a key role during Fall of X and his latest solo title impacts mutantkind’s new status quo in surprising ways. 

Check out the covers now and stay tuned for more Fall of X announcements including news about titles launching this summer!
