This January, two interconnected series will close out the X-Men’s Krakoa era: 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. These five-issue limited series will present the final battle of Krakoa and see the fate of mutantkind decided in a war across space and time.
But unlike the original House of X and Powers of X in 2019, Marvel will be pushing out a bunch of other X books at the same time, because why leave all that sweet, sweet masochist money sitting on the table?
In the current X-Men ongoing series, the team will finally take the fight to Nimrod. Limited series like Cable, Dead X-Men and Resurrection of Magneto will tell of the vital missions and epic quests spinning out of the two main-event miniseries. And the frontlines of Krakoa’s last stand are never deadlier than in the pages of X-Force, which gears up for its 50th issue and the conclusion of Krakoa with a character-redefining turn for Beast. And also Wonder Man is back.
