Ongoing solicitations and cover art for the end of the X-Men Krakoan Age reveal Marvel’s mutants in peril, with the Avengers and Iron Man perhaps too late to save them.
The end of the current X-Men Krakoa Age marks a major turning point for the merry mutants. Things have been falling apart for the team ever since the Hellfire Gala Massacre, which saw the mutants scattered.
Over the past few months, the X-Men have gone in various directions, with Kate Pryde adopting a darker identity, Nightcrawler hiding his identity as the new Spider-Man, and Emma Frost going into hiding as Tony Stark’s secretary.
It’s coming to a head in 2024 with Cyclops on trial, all while Charles Xavier schemes to save mutants by killing Moira X in the past before her powers manifest, potentially ending Krakoa before it can even begin. Now we have an idea of what’s going to shape the end of the era, thanks to early solicits from Marvel.

- What’s next for X-Men after Krakoan Era & Fall of X?
Announced on Marvel’s official site, the Fall of the House of X is building towards a massive conclusion starting with the April releases. May’s releases will bring the books to their dramatic conclusion, as the secrets of the Krakoa Age will finally be laid bare.
The solicits also reveal the Avengers joining the fray at the behest of Iron Man, now donning his new Mysterium armor. Unfortunately, that armor may not be enough, as the solicits for his own book indicate he’ll be trapped in his armor and facing his own shortcomings in the conflict.
But the highlight for longtime fans is the X-Men finally reunited for the first time in nearly a year, setting the stage for a grand finale. While that’s going down, though, Sabretooth War claws its way through Wolverine’s supporting cast while Cable and his younger self, Nate, fight the mysterious Neocracy.

What’s next for X-Men after Krakoan Era & Fall of X?
The next X-Men era is a soft-reboot called From The Ashes.
From The Ashes was announced shortly before the end of 2023, and detailed in March at SXSW. The relaunch consists of three books, including the previously confirmed two new X-teams led by Kate Pryde and Rogue.
The soft reboot will be something of a return to form, with several characters returning to more traditional roles as outlaws, mentors, and revolutionaries. In addition to the three ongoings, a slew of supplemental titles are in the works, to be detailed at a later date.
