X-Men Editors Jordan D. White And Lauren Amaro had a lot to talk about tonight regarding the future of X-Men comics Marvel Unlimited’s X-Men: 60 Uncanny Years Live Virtual Event on zoom. We just mentioned Uncanny Avengers #1 and the Hellfire Gala, but there was a lot more to it, especially related to Fall Of X, and didn’t let that put you off Chris ClaremontCrossover comments by .
Jordan told us that “Fall Of X is going to be tough for mutants. Things were going relatively well for them… I mean, there were issues, but they had their own nation, and now it’s getting dark they’re going through some issues. It’s going to affect the entire mutant lineage, in fact every book that has mutants in it, it’s going to be dark for sure.
Lauren added that it will be an “exciting new era” to test what has been built on Krakoa since the days of House and Powers for a long time the writers in the room have been thinking about.”
Jordan spoke about there also being “serious episodes of Sins Of Sinister, we know all four Sinisters now, each has their own approach and goal, classic Sinister, the one who takes care of people and post people, one makes magic and the other makes cosmos. It means a lot of chaos for the mutants.”
As for the return of the apocalypse? “For better or for worse, he was a terrible villain for many years, and when he came through the gate into Krakoa and shook hands with Xavier, that was the most shocking moment of House of X. Alongside the rest of the mutants, was shocking and surprising. He went to the war-torn world of Amenth with his wife and family at the end of Ten of Swords. What does his return mean? All good things or terrible plans that will make things terrible? Both strong possibilities, check out X-Men Red and the Oneshot Before The Fall, Heralds of Apocalypse.

June on offer. It’s the long-awaited return of Apocalypse. Not seen since the shocking ending of X of Swords, Apocalypse and his family have struggled to survive in the harsh land of Amenth. Do they rule this twisted world or do their demonic denizens rule over them? And how did Apocalypse feel about the decisions the Quiet Council made in his absence?
And Orchis will remain an ongoing threat to the mutants, with an even greater threat coming our way. Jordan reminded us that she has already met Nimrod, Mega Sentinel Feilong, Dr. Stasis and Judas Traveler have, they will only get more powerful over the rest of the year.
When asked to highlight characters with big stories ahead, he said Kate Pryde has a really big story coming up this year, which would be good news if you like Kate Pryde, but also bad news if you like Kate Pryde like, because Fall of X will be dark. “There’s Iceman, Sunspot always rules, he always has a plan…” While Lauren told us that she’s really excited for Firestar and Magik to actually take the stage.
The Marvel Unlimited virtual live event took place tonight to “shed light on the history and creative legacy of Marvel’s mutants from their beginnings as the Original Five through their current era in the Krakoan Age.”
