'X-Men' Titles Brace Themselves for 'Fall of X' as Genesis Returns, Beast Goes over the Edge, and More

Check out what’s to come in your favorite 'X-Men' ongoing series this July.

This past weekend at MegaCon Orlando, fans learned about some of the new titles and stories that await in FALL OF X, a new era of X-Men storytelling that will kick off this summer. The explosive payoff to plot threads that have been brewing since 2019’s revolutionary HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X, FALL OF X will determine if mutantkind’s prosperous Krakoan Age can truly last forever or if its foundation has doomed it from the start. 

Today, fans can check out the covers for X-Men titles on sale in July, the month before FALL OF X officially begins. These issues represent the final chapters of Krakoa as we know it before it all comes crashing down in X-MEN: HELLFIRE GALA #1!
