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.”

After teasing his return to Marvel Comics, the publisher finally announced at C2E2 in Chicago that writer Jonathan Hickman will pen House of X and Powers of X, setting up a new chapter for the X-Men. Pepe Larraz will illustrate House of X, with R.B. Silva illustrating Powers of X. Marte Gracia will provide colors for both series.

“We are excited to have Jon back with the Marvel family, and we could not have asked for a better creative team to help usher the X-Men into a whole new era,” Marvel Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski said in a statement. “While we can’t reveal too much about the story just yet, these new stories will redefine the X-Men and their place in the Marvel Universe. This is a historic moment both new and passionate fans won’t want to miss.”

The announcement highlights pivotal X-Men stories from the past, including Giant-Size X-Men, Jim Lee and Chris Claremont's X-Men #1 from 1991, the alternate-reality event Age of Apocalypse and Grant Morrison's New X-Men. House of X and Powers of X are meant to be the next big event in the X-Men franchise, setting up Marvel's Mutants for exciting new stories down the road.

House of X #1 and Powers of X #1 will go on sale in July from Marvel Comics.

Marvel Comics Cancels X-Men Blue & X-Men Gold
by Stephen Gerding

Marvel Comics' solicitations for September 2018 reveals that the publisher is bringing two of its main X-Men titles to a close. Both X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold are coming to a conclusion.

Both series launched in early 2017, with titles that were designed to play on the X-Men's history, specifically the '90s Jim Lee-fueled era where the team was spilt into two strike forces, one Blue, one Gold.

X-Men Gold has spent much of its time exploring a number of classic X-Men plots from Chris Claremont's era, as well as the recently pending nuptials between Kitty Pryde and Colossus, while Blue has focused mainly on the time-displaced team of original teenage X-Men. Earlier today, Marvel spoiled the end of Gold's wedding issue, which is leading to the launch of an all-new series Mr. and Mrs. X. Meanwhile, X-Men Blue has been building toward a resolution for the young mutants' time-travel storyline, one which will be explored further in the upcoming Extermination event miniseries.

X-Men Red, which features the recently resurrected Jean Grey in a leadership role, will continue.

... X-Men: Red #8 ...

Cassandra Nova Recruits a Major X-Man to Fight Their Friends

The latest issue of X-Men: Red #8 saw an epic confrontation between Jean Grey’s new X-Men team and the twisted villainy of Cassandra Nova. The demented twin sister of Charles Xavier has been spreading bigotry and hatred across the globe in a campaign targeting mutants, using Sentinel nanobots to accomplish her scheme. And as we see at the end of this issue, she has more weapons in her arsenal just in case things go wrong.

Ever since X-men: Red began, Nova has been working behind the scenes to destroy the lives of mutants everywhere. It started with the assassination of an ambassador at the UN, something that was initially blamed on Jean Grey. This tarnishing of the X-Men leader’s reputation was only the start of their problems, as soon it was revealed that not only was Nova behind the murder, she's been developing millions of Sentinel nanobots she was now ready to unleash upon the world.

These Sentinites are specifically designed to infect the brains of their victims, manipulating emotions into inciting more hatred and violence against mutants. Nova had been using her considerable telepathic powers to coerce Forge -- the mutant and former X-Man whose superpower is an affinity for machines -- into building a Sentinite swarm large enough to infect the brains of everyone on the planet. After initially choosing her victims from the highest ranks of power, her plans to turn the world against the X-men was almost complete.

Operating from their new headquarters in Atlantis, Jean Grey and her X-Men devised a plan to defeat Nova’s Sentinites. Using their undersea version of Cerebro -- ingeniously named Searebro -- the mutant technopath Trinary would channel her powers through the machine and reach out to every one of the millions of nanobots now spreading across the globe. Due to the overwhelming strain this would put on her brain, she uses Honey Badger -- the young clone of Laura Kinney with a mutant healing factor -- as a buffer between her and Searebro’s full strength.

Trinary had spent her life absorbing decades of internet hate, and in a final cathartic push, unleashed all of this negative energy upon the Sentinite swarm, not only deactivating but destroying every last evil nanobot. While no one was under the impression that Cassandra Nova would stay down for long, the devious X-Men villain didn’t miss a beat in unveiling her plan B: taking over the mind of Rachel Grey and sending her after the X-Men.
