NYCC 2023: The End Is Near For The X-Men & Krakoa This January From Marvel Comics

by Tony Thornley

Announced at Marvel’s Next Big Thing Panel at New York Comic Con, the X-Men’s Krakoan era is about to come to an end in a trio of massive event miniseries debuting this winter.

Debuting this January, Fall of the House of X, Rise of the Powers of X, and Resurrection of Magneto will bring the Krakoan era of the X-Men to an end in a time-spanning adventure that will see the X-Men at their lowest.

Cyclops is on trial for murder. The X-Men are scattered across the globe. Orchis has won. Their only hope lies with Storm, as she desperately finds a way to bring their greatest foe- or greatest ally- back from the grave. Meanwhile, ten years in the future, hope rises anew as the X-Men find a chance to win…

Fall and Rise will each be five issues, with the former coming from Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck and the latter from Kieron Gillen and RB Silva. Resurrection comes from writer Al Ewing, continuing his story of the two X-Men icons from X-Men Red, and joining him is artist Luciano Vecchio for this four issue series.

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.
