Marvel’s July reboot of their X-Men franchise is setting the stage for a bold new era, with the announcement of three additional titles to join their refreshed lineup. As part of this ambitious overhaul, the publisher confirmed that ‘X-Force,’ ‘Phoenix,’ and ‘NYX’ will be integral components of the new narrative landscape. These series will complement the previously announced ‘X-Men,’ ‘Uncanny X-Men,’ and ‘Exceptional X-Men,’ broadening the scope of mutant storytelling within the Marvel Universe. The announcement, lacking specific details on the creative teams, nonetheless stoked anticipation among fans. With the promise of these series debuting post-‘Fall of X,’ readers are teased with a vision of a world where the mutants are dispersed, no longer centralized on the island nation of Krakoa, creating fertile ground for diverse storytelling and character development.
Marvel Comics VP Executive Editor Tom Brevoort’s statement outlined a strategic approach to the X-Men’s future narrative. By emphasizing the fragmented state of the mutants post-Krakoa, Brevoort suggests a return to the roots of the X-Men, with each series exploring a different facet of the team’s rich history and purpose. The intent to cater to a wide audience through a variety of styles and tones is evident, aiming to provide a series that could match any fan’s taste. This approach signifies a concerted effort to celebrate the multifaceted nature of the X-Men, from their interpersonal drama to their societal impact, ensuring that each title serves as a pillar in the reconstruction of their world. The inclusion of teases for further series like ‘X-Factor,’ ‘Storm,’ and ‘Wolverine’ hints at a comprehensive and multi-angled exploration of the mutant experience.
The creative minds behind the flagship titles are poised to bring a fresh perspective to the beloved characters. Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman take the helm of the central ‘X-Men’ book, while Gail Simon and David Marquez tackle the iconic ‘Uncanny X-Men.’ Meanwhile, Eve Ewing and Carmen Carnero are entrusted with the ‘Exceptional X-Men,’ featuring Kitty Pryde as a central figure. Ewing’s comments at the announcement event revealed a dedication to honoring Kitty Pryde’s legacy while simultaneously guiding a new generation of mutants through a period of uncertainty. The focus on appealing to both lifelong fans and new readers, particularly younger audiences, underscores Marvel’s commitment to evolving the franchise while respecting its storied past. With Carnero’s dynamic artwork and a collaborative environment among the X-Men writers, the stage is set for what could be a transformative period in the X-Men saga, one that invites newcomers and satisfies long-time enthusiasts alike.
