In 2019’s House of X and Power of X, writer Jonathan Hickman reshaped the X-Men mythos with the founding of Krakoa, the discovery of mutant resurrection, the reveal of Moira MacTaggert’s past lives, and a glimpse into a shocking future where mutantkind was crushed under the might of the Sentinels, Nimrod, and post-humanity! In January, these critical plot threads and more come to a head in the finale of the Krakoan age: 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. This all-new pair of interconnected series crafted by some the X-Men’s chief world builders will deliver the climactic ending to over four years of revolutionary mutant storytelling and positions the X-Men for their next great evolution! The saga kicks off with two pivotal battles as a classic lineup of iconic X-Men have their long-awaited showdown with Orchis while in the future, a small band of surviving X-Men struggle with their stolen destiny.

Krakoa, the living island nation that’s welcomed, protected, and advanced mutantkind, has fallen! Now, the scattered X-Men recover and regroup in the Fall of X era, bracing themselves for the fight to restore hope! It’ll be a war across space and time that will be fought on two fronts: the present-day in Fall of the House of X and the not-so-distant and the far future in RISE OF THE POWERS OF X. All of mutantkind has a role to play but two squads of X-Men will be at the forefront in the opening issues.

Fall of the House of X #1 will follow a team of Xavier’s most dedicated students—Shadowkat, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Rogue, and Gambit—as they seek to crush Orchis, the group of villains that brought down Krakoa. Set 10 years into a dark future, Rise of the Powers of X #1 will introduce a new team of X-Men—m Shadowtiger, Iron Man, Synch, Captain Krakoa, and Wolverine— who are ready to make a bold sacrifice to prevent an even more tragic fate for mutantkind. Epic in scale with stakes beyond measure, both missions are vital in the struggle not just for mutant survival but for all existence!
