Part 1: From the Ashes

Return to Introduction

X-Men (2024) #1 Cover

Part 1.1: Mutant Diaspora

The Fall of Krakoa has scattered the mutant community, snatching away their sanctuary and chance for eternal peace and happiness along with it. But all hope is not lost—from the ashes a new era of X-Men arise in the form of not one but three teams, each with different motivations and agendas. While these teams are just beginning to spin up, new iterations of X-Factor and X-Force are also in the works, and Wolverine, well…he’s certainly not about to sit out this new era for very long.

Part 1.2: Isolated Mutants

While lots of new mutants are forming new alliances, several X-Men are striking out on their own in solo adventures. Jean Grey, now embracing her Phoenix identity, has absconded to the furthest reaches of the universe, while back on Earth the likes of Laura Kinney, Magik, and Psylocke all have personal issues and threats to deal on their own in between team-ups. We also check in on Namor, one of Earth’s earliest mutants, as well as Dazzler, Mystique, and others!

These short story arcs don’t have much bearing on the wider Marvel Universe, but they serve to further deepen the history and relationship between these deadly, regenerating killers.
