Krakoa's Last Hope Joins the Fight in 'Fall of the House of X' #2 and 'Rise of the Powers of X' #2

Check out the covers and learn more about February's installments of 'Fall of the House of X' and 'Rise of the Powers of X,' the two series that will serve as the conclusion of the X-Men's Krakoa era.

It’s the beginning of the end of the X-Men’s revolutionary Krakoan Age!

Just like Jonathan Hickman boldly kicked it off in 2019 in twin series, HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X, the finale of the Krakoan Age will be told across two intertwined series this January in Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck’s FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X and Kieron Gillen and R.B. Silva’s RISE OF THE POWERS OF X! It’s a who’s who of current mutant mastermind storytellers, and together, they’re bringing Krakoa down in epic style!

The two five-issue limited series will deliver a breathtaking saga across mutant history and future as the X-Men of today and tomorrow wage the final war against extinction across their entire existence! Today, fans can peek ahead at the covers for FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X #2 and RISE OF THE POWERS OF X #2, both arriving in February.

"The two series that are one has been where this story has been leading since the Dawn of Krakoa," Duggan said. "Polaris is coming from Knowhere, and we hope you'll join us as well..."
