Kieron Gillen and Luca Maresca's 'X-Men: Forever' Unravels the Final Mysteries of the Krakoa Era

Tied to the 'Fall of the House of X' and 'Rise of the Powers of X,' behold a story of mutant revelation in 'X-Men: Forever,' launching in March.

Since it began in 2019, the Krakoa era has been full of hope, transformation, and mystery. As the final stories of this bold age arrive in FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X and RISE OF THE POWERS OF X, one of Krakoa’s chief storytellers, Kieron Gillen, will team up with superstar artist Luca Maresca to deliver long-awaited answers behind Krakoa’s darkest truths and set the stage for mutantkind’s spectacular rebirth in X-MEN: FOREVER.

Announced earlier today by Marvel Comics Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski at the Lucca Comics & Games festival in Italy, X-MEN: FOREVER will be a four-issue limited series launching in March where Gillen will build upon the dramatic developments currently unfolding in pages of IMMORTAL X-MEN, including the quest for Dominion, the interpersonal conflicts of the Quiet Council, the escape from the White Hot Room, and of course, the divine intervention of the Phoenix! The series will provide pivotal insight into the shocking events of FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X and RISE OF THE POWERS OF X as a new omnipotent threat to mutantkind is introduced and the final secrets of Krakoa burn to ashes! 

Haunted House of X! How can you kill a digital god? What do you do when the Phoenix is bleeding out into nothing? There's been questions that have haunted you since the end of IMMORTAL X-MEN. Finally, some answers. There's also been some questions that have haunted you since the start of IMMORTAL X-MEN. Finally, some answers, too. But not the ones you’re expecting… 

"X-MEN FOREVER is Luca and myself doing a coda to IMMORTAL X-MEN, a requiem for the Krakoan age and generally setting fire to all time and space,” Gillen explained. “It's the manipulative hand in the steel glove that is RISE OF THE POWERS OF X. By the time it drops, you'll be wondering what on earth is going on with certain characters, and X-MEN FOREVER will give you all the answers."
