What is X-Men: Forever about?
An official synopsis for X-Men: Forever #1 reads as follows: “Haunted House of X! How can you kill a digital god? What do you do when the Phoenix is bleeding out into nothing? There’s been questions that have haunted you since the end of IMMORTAL X-MEN. Finally, some answers. There’s also been some questions that have haunted you since the start of IMMORTAL X-MEN. Finally, some answers, too. But not the ones you’re expecting…”
“X-MEN FOREVER is Luca and myself doing a coda to IMMORTAL X-MEN, a requiem for the Krakoan age and generally setting fire to all time and space,” Gillen said. “It’s the manipulative hand in the steel glove that is RISE OF THE POWERS OF X. By the time it drops, you’ll be wondering what on earth is going on with certain characters, and X-MEN FOREVER will give you all the answers.”
Gillen is writing the five-part Rise of the Powers of X, which teams him with artist R.B. Silva. Alongside Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck’s Fall of the House of X, the upcoming series will spell the end of the X-Men‘s Krakoan Age. Gillen and Maresca’s X-Men: Forever is one of many limited series that will tie into the dual titles. Other tie-ins include Resurrection of Magneto, Dead X-Men, and a new Cable series.
X-Men: Forever #1 goes on sale March 20, 2024 from Marvel Comics.
