GO FOR THE JUGGLER!

March’s X-Men titles Decide the Fate of Mutantkind!

In Jonathan Hickman’s 2019’s House of X and Powers of X, the dawn of Krakoa ushered in a revolutionary period of X-Men comic book storytelling. Now, the Krakoan age comes crashing down and the current group of X-creators are making sure it goes out on a high note! Two interconnected series—Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck’s Fall of the House of X and Kieron Gillen and R.B. Silva’s Rise of the Powers of X—will close out the era. The mythos-shattering events of these twin sagas will bleed out into special limited series including Cable, Dead X-Men, Resurrection of Magneto, and X-Men Forever. In addition, current X-Men ongoing titles Wolverine, X-Force, and X-Men will also deal with the dramatic repercussions of Krakoa’s fall with the culmination of nearly five years’ worth of intricate plotting and redefining character arcs.

Today, fans can learn about the various X-Men issues hitting stands in March. It’s the peak of the FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X and the final war of Krakoa is fought on multiple fronts throughout time and space! Harsh defeats and inspiring victories await as Nathan Summers teams up with his younger self to take down the new threat of the Neocracy in Cable, Betsy Braddock assists a group of fallen X-Men on their desperate mission in Dead X-Men, and Storm and Magneto face off against an iconic X-Men villain in the afterlife in Resurrection of Magneto. In addition, the Phoenix Force’s role in mutantkind’s future is revealed in X-Men Forever and one of the greatest best friend duos in the Marvel Universe reunite for some good old fashioned vengeance in X-Men #32!

Also in March, Wolverine and Sabretooth continue their bloodiest and most momentous showdown ever in new installments of Sabretooth War and Beast finally gets what’s been coming to him as X-Force reaches its milestone 50th issue.

The world of the X-Men continues to be shook to its core in February by Fall of the House of X

This January, two interconnected series will close out the X-Men’s revolutionary Krakoa era: Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck’s Fall of the House of X and Kieron Gillen and R.B. Silva’s Rise of the Powers of X. These five-issue limited series will present the final battle of Krakoa and see the fate of mutantkind decided in a war across space and time!

The mythos-shattering storytelling of Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X will also impact the current X-Men ongoing series where the team finally take the fight to the most critical threat to mutantkind, Nimrod. Special limited series like the recently announced Cable, Dead X-Men, and Resurrection of Magneto, will tell of the vital missions and epic quests spinning out of Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X. And the frontlines of Krakoa’s last stand are never deadlier than in the pages of X-Force which gears up for its milestone 50th issue and the conclusion of Krakoa with a charactering-redefining turn for X-Men icon Beast.

Captain America races towards a dark future in Daniel Acuña’s Avengers: Twilight foil cover

This January, superstar creators Chip Zdarsky and Daniel Acuña reveal a bold fate for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in Avengers: Twilight!

In the not-so-distant future, the Avengers are corrupt and use their might to run the world instead of defending it. The only hope for repairing the team’s shattered legacy lies in Steve Rogers. Will he pick up the shield once more to save the world from this tragic state? Zdarsky and Acuña’s saga will be a thought-provoking epic that examines what it means to be a Super Hero in the Marvel Universe, as Steve finds himself in conflict with characters that have startling connections to the Avengers of today and tackles the heartbreaking tragedies that befell his former teammates. 

Like many of Marvel’s biggest launches, Avengers: Twilight #1 will shine on stands with a stunning FOIL VARIANT COVER. Drawn by Acuña, the cover spotlights Steve, suited up in his brand-new costume, rushing towards this mission he’s always been destined for: Avenging the Avengers!

In a gleaming new world of prosperity, Captain America is no more. But Steve Rogers still exists, floating through an America where freedom is an illusion, where the Avengers are strangers and his friends are long dead. But is the Dream? How do you assemble Avengers in a world that doesn’t want them?
