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.”
“One of the things that we talked about,” Hickman told reporters in a press event, “was ‘How do we make X-Men the giant X-Men that it was most of my life?’ So I came up with what I thought was wrong or tired or needed changing — in the same way that Brian [Bendis] repositioned the Avengers during Disassembled; what is that version of the X-stuff? And we came up with this.”
Once House and Powers of X are over, the X-Men line will spring back to life with six new ongoing series, revealed at Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 — and with further waves of books to come.
