On Saturday, Marvel Comics revealed the long-awaited shake-up of the X-Men line, billed as a fundamental change of eras in the long-running superhero epic.

Before the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con announcement, all fans have known is that every title under the X-Men umbrella is ending this summer, to be replaced by a mere two six-issue miniseries, House of X and Powers of X (pronounced “Powers of Ten”). The intertwined plots of the books — both written by Jonathan Hickman, the architect of the relaunch — will lay out new changes for the X-Men, springing both from Professor X’s new plan for the future of all mutant kind in the present in House of X, and new revelations about mutants in the past, in Powers of X.

“There’s a big story called House of M,” X-Men senior editor Jordan D. White told Polygon in an interview, “after which mutantkind was reduced in number very greatly, and the [books] became less about acceptance by humankind and more about the fact that they were going extinct and that they might disappear as a species. That was the driving force of the X-Men, and while there have been fluctuations in that story over the years, I still think that generally that’s been the thrust of the line for quite a while. I think it was time for a change.”
