The end of the Krakoan age is almost here. Marvel has given us a tease for what the future has in store for the X-Men and all of Mutantkind.
- Marvel has shared the above teaser image with the title “X-Men: From the Ashes” for upcoming X-Men comics.
- The new series of ongoing X-Men titles will launch in July 2024.
- This will come after “Fall of the House of X” and “Rise of the Powers of X” bring an end to the Krakoan era, which was started by writer Jonathan Hickman in 2019 with “House of X” and “Powers of X.”
- The long-running story arc saw the X-Men, and almost all mutants in general, find a new home on the sentient island known as Krakoa.
- Over the past five years, the Krakoan era has seen several major X-Men stories, including “X of Swords,” “The Trial of Magneto” and “A.X.E.: Judgment Day.”
More on the end of the Krakoan era:
- 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.
