Since Jonathan Hickman’s “Krakoa” era of the X-Men kicked off a couple of years ago, the line-up has seen several X-titles come and go. With the Hellfire Gala set to kick off in June, revealing a new team of X-Men, Marvel is teasing a few new titles that will follow the event (in a handy infographic, one of the trademarks of the Hickman era).
In addition to Children of the Atom, Way of X and X-Corp, which were all previously announced, the graphic also teases three new titles:
In July, the Planet Size X-Men team of Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz will helm a relaunched X-Men title. Then in August, Leah Williams and Valerio Schiti will launch a new “classified” title. That will be followed in September with another secret title from Hickman and an unrevealed artist.
All three of these titles, as mentioned above, follow the Hellfire Gala storyline, where the X-Men have a big party that runs through 12 X-titles, including Planet Size X-Men, in June.
“We haven’t sent any of these books to press yet, but I know we’ve already left a giant mark on the line with this party,” Duggan said. “The White Queen and House Carnation set out to create a special evening like no other, and it’s going to make any other galas you might hear about look like a county fair. Not that it’s a contest, but…Krakoa wins. The whole world’s watching us now, so we must be nothing less than fabulous.”
Here’s a list of all 12 of those titles, where secrets are promised to be revealed:
