The Krakoan Age of the X-Men has seen monumental growth and prosperity for mutants in the Marvel Universe, as well as some of their more dire lows and loses. But this June, creators from all across X-Men history will bid a proper farewell to this era and pave the way for the future of the Merry Mutants and celebrate 700th issues of ‘UNCANNY X-MEN’!
What started in 2019 by the hand of writer Jonathan Hickman and revolutionized the X-Men will see it’s chapter close and give way to the next seminal shift in “X-MEN #35”. Which will see an bold story crafted by many of the writers and artists who all help mold Hickman’s vision for the Merry Mutants, including Gerry Duggan, Kieron Gillen, Al Ewing, Gail Simone, Joshua Cassara and X-Men legend Chris Claremont.
In a press release, Senior Editor Jordan D. White said, “Being a part of the Krakoan experiment has been a true thrill. Honestly—in many ways—it echoed the experience of mutantkind itself in the era. We worked differently, we tried new things, we survived incredible new experiences. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have worked with such fantastically talented creators throughout the era, and working on the glorious ending is truly bittersweet. I will miss it with my whole heart, but I do know… Krakoa will live on within us forever.”
‘X-Men #35’ releases June 5, 2024.
