Get a look at the penultimate month of the X-Men’s Krakoa Era!

Posted on February 16, 2024 by Graphic Policy Team

The Age of Krakoa is going out on a high note! A period of mutant history unlike any other, the last five years of X-Men comic books has boldly reshaped mutant storytelling FOREVER. While the Krakoan gates might be closing, the spirit and message of Krakoa will live on as the X-Men rise from the ashes this summer with all-new titles!

Just like how it began, the conclusion of the Krakoa era is currently being told across two epic interconnected series—Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X. In addition, some of the most pivotal battles, boldest missions, and breathtaking betrayals are taking place in current series like X-Men, X-Men Forever, Cable, and Invincible Iron Man.

Meanwhile, Wolverine has been embroiled in a war against his archenemy in Sabretooth War. Just in time for the character’s 50^th anniversary, this epic storyline and Benjamin Percy’s acclaimed run will reach its riveting—and viciously violent—end in Wolverine #50. The over-sized issue will also feature special anniversary stories from legendary Wolverine creators!

Read on to learn what awaits in these series in May, and stay alert next month for the announcement of the GRAND FINALE milestone issue of X-MEN coming in June!

Posted on January 22, 2024 by Graphic Policy Team

By now, fans have experienced the explosive debut issues of Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X, but these twin series are only the beginning of the dramatic finale to the X-Men’s acclaimed Krakoa era! Across exciting new limited series and tie-in issues of ongoing series, this crucial war for mutantkind’s future will unfold in a grand tapestry of brave missions, shocking revelations, and heartbreaking defeats.

The most glorious moments of the Krakoan age are still ahead and today, fans can learn about the various X-Men related issues hitting stands in April. A stacked team of powerhouse X-Men join forces against Orchis in X-Men #33, the success of Storm’s divine mission to bring back Magneto is revealed in Resurrection of Magneto #4, a group of fallen X-Men confront death again in Dead X-Men #4, and a threat only mutantkind’s greatest soldiers can handle is unleashed in Cable #3. In addition, the Phoenix Force burns away the remaining mysteries of the Krakoan age in X-Men Forever #2.

The mythos-shattering events of Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X will also bleed out into the wider Marvel Universe as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes join the fray in Avengers #11 and Avengers #12 while Tony Stark confronts his technology’s own role in Krakoa’s downfall in Invincible Iron Man #17.

Also in April are new pulse-pounding chapters of Sabretooth War! With last week’s opening chapter, Wolverine #41, fans saw why “Sabretooth War” was billed as the most violent Wolverine story ever told!

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

Posted on December 8, 2023 by Graphic Policy Team

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 50^th issue.
