Mutantkind no longer has Krakoa, but they still have the X-Men!
Over the last few months, new series announcements have revealed what awaits in the X-Men’s From the Ashes era. Set around—and beyond—the globe, the upcoming titles see new teams assemble to take on emerging threats to mutantkind, beloved characters fulfill their long-awaited destiny as solo heroes, and other groups of mutants come together to survive a world that fears them now more than ever. They may share the same dream, but they have different missions. Harkening back to classic X-Men storytelling while embracing the franchise’s modern evolution, From the Ashes is an exciting fresh start for longtime fans and newcomers alike!
From the Ashes will officially kick off this July in X-Men #1, NYX #1, Phoenix #1, and X-Force #1. Today, fans can peek ahead at what’s to come in these first set of launches in August.
