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

Posted on by

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.

NYCC 2023: The Rise and Fall of the X-Men’s Krakoa Age Revealed

Posted on by

The beginning of the end of the X-Men’s revolutionary Krakoan Age was just revealed at the Marvel: Next Big Thing Panel at New York Comic Con! Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski, X-Men writer Gerry Duggan, and X-Men Red writer Al Ewing shared shocking details about the pair of intertwined series that will close out mutantkind’s current era this January, Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X, as well as one of the tie-in series spinning out of these events, Resurrection of Magneto.

Also debuting at the panel was the startling X-Men: Fall & Rise trailer which gives fans a peek at never-before-seen artwork from these upcoming series. And it wouldn’t be a new chapter for mutantkind without a gorgeous promotional image from superstar artist Mark Brooks. In the spirit of his unforgettable art pieces drawn for Krakoan milestones like House of X and Powers of X, X of Swords, and Destiny of X, Brooks once again spotlights the current stars of the X-Men franchise as they brace themselves for what’s on the horizon!

In 2019, fans witnessed the dawn of the Krakoa age in Jonathan Hickman’s groundbreaking House of X and Powers of X, two interconnected five-issue limited series that spanned mutant history and future. Now, the Krakoa age ends in the same dramatic fashion in Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X. Each delivering half of the story that will bring the Krakoa Age to its conclusion, the pair of series will feature the X-Men of today and the X-Men of tomorrow as the wage the final war against extinction across their entire existence! Evolution is inevitable. Extinction is optional!

The two series are fittingly crafted by some of the Krakoa’s defining architects, writer Gerry Duggan and artist Lucas Werneck delivering Fall of the House of X and writer Kieron Gillen and artist R.B. Silva delivering Rise of the Powers of X, plus covers by House of X superstar artist Pepe Larraz.

And mutantkind’s survival hinges on the return of their greatest leader and the X-Men’s former archenemy—Magneto! Following Magneto’s tragic death in last year’s A.X.E.: Judgment Day, Storm embarks on an epic quest to restore him to life in Resurrection of Magneto. Spinning out of his masterful work on both characters in X-Men Red, Al Ewing brings fans this heart-wrenching four-issue saga alongside artist Luciano Vecchio with a cover by Stefano Caselli.

Krakoa has just begun to fight in Fall of the House of X #1! Mutantkind has never had a greater fall. From the highs of Krakoa – their own glorious nation, a place where they were safe and happy – to the lowest of lows. Outlawed, hunted, killed, most of their kind missing or dead, and now, one their greatest leaders, Cyclops, is on trial facing a death penalty. Ready or not, the time has come for the X-Men to make their final stand against the forces that have struck them low. The day is now. The place is here. The tale of the house Xavier built will long be told…and few will forget this darkest chapter.

And the fight for Krakoa has been lost in Rise of the Powers of X #1! Ten years ago, the mutants returned from their exile to try and reclaim the Earth from the forces of Orchis. They failed.  Now, within the victorious Orchis with their gauntlet choking the world, Nimrod and Omega Sentinel put their plan within a plan into action. They are to summon their binary god to consume everything in their accession. All that stands between them is the X-Men. What can they do? They’re the X-Men. They’ll find a way. That’s their power. So begins a story beyond time and space, with the rise of powers beyond our petty human intelligence.

It’s a tale of Lifedeath in Resurrection of Magneto #1! On Krakoa, resurrection from the dead was as easy as completing a circuit – but Krakoa fell. The time of easy miracles is over, and only the hard roads are left. Now it falls to Storm – as the epic conclusion to the Krakoan age looms – to bring their oldest enemy home to fight against the FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X…but after all he did, and all that was done to him, can Magneto bear to return?
