In July 2019, the world of the X-Men was shattered and reborn on Krakoa in visionary writer Jonathan Hickman’s HOUSE OF X. In the years since, fans have experienced a golden age of mutant storytelling, filled with bold ideas, astonishing character developments, and revolutionary new takes on the mutant metaphor.
Now, the next seminal shift in the history of the X-Men is on the horizon, but first, Marvel Comics proudly presents the final act of the Krakoan Age this June in X-MEN #35! X-MEN #35 will be the milestone 700th issue of UNCANNY X-MEN and will feature an epic-length story by acclaimed writers and artists who shaped the Krakoan Age, including Gerry Duggan, Kieron Gillen, Al Ewing, Lucas Werneck, Joshua Cassara, and more.
The giant-sized issue will also feature a story of family by X-Men master Chris Claremont and offer a glimpse of things to come in the new X-Men titles launching this summer. It’s a landmark issue for one of pop culture’s most beloved franchises that no comic book fan will want to miss!
All good things must come to an end, and as good of a thing as the Krakoan Era has been for mutantkind… its time has come at last. The tragedy and triumph of FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X, the madness and mystery of RISE OF THE POWERS OF X… they have all come to their end and led to this moment that will change the future of mutantkind for years to come.
On closing out this groundbreaking period of the mutant mythos, Senior Editor Jordan D. White shared, "Being a part of the Krakoan experiment has been a true thrill. Honestly—in many ways—it echoed the experience of mutantkind itself in the era. We worked differently, we tried new things, we survived incredible new experiences. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have worked with such fantastically talented creators throughout the era, and working on the glorious ending is truly bittersweet. I will miss it with my whole heart, but I do know… Krakoa will live on within us forever."
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

I wish they'd make Betsy's hair the color of Magneto's cape. I again don't get why its hard to do purple lol.
The Krakoa experiment was one of the Beast disastrous in proportion.
Chris Claremont cannot rush in fast enough to save Betsy Braddock from whatever experiment they tried on her.
Good riddance. It all fell apart with Hickman leaving.
Jordan White really chose trash writers over Hickmans plans smh I hope the finale is dumpster fire
Is he actually coming back @Eoleo?
From talks and rumors Claremont will join in for the new era. Marvel wants the X-Men heart back into play and who better than the architect. I think as advisor and plot director. The choices of mutants appearing on the anniversary cover are all Claremont made and favorites.
Gail Simone? Is she writing one of the current X-books?
Her Birds of Pray run is probably one of my favorite comic book runs ever, so I'm looking forward to her writing the X-Men! And it'd be nice if she wrote Betsy; her superheroines always felt very capable in action scenes and very human in dialogues and personal issues.
(speaking of Betsy, am I mistaken or is Kwannon absent from this cover art? I mean, even Broo is there...)
Bigger than Kwannon’s absence… Where is Irene? Destiny’s arc has been a major linchpin to the Krakoa Era.
Hell the Five Should have been included too there would be no ressurections without them they pulled a lot of weight for everyone
