The X-Men’s new era has been a smash hit with longtime and returning fans, and this January, readers can experience key stories set just before the From the Ashes era in X-MEN: XAVIER’S SECRET #1! The one-shot collects the first six issues of Alex Paknadel and Diógenes Neves’ acclaimed X-MEN: FROM THE ASHES Infinity Comic that releases weekly on Marvel Unlimited.
Across two stories, Paknadel and Neves reveal what drove Professor X, Cyclops, and Jean Grey—the three pillars of the X-Men franchise—to their current state! Witness Jean Grey’s final moments on Earth before she took off to her galaxy-spanning adventures in Stephanie Phillips and Alessandro Miracolo’s ongoing PHOENIX series. And, learn the full extent of Professor X’s crimes during FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X, just in time for the X-Men to declare their final judgment on him in the upcoming “Raid on Graymalkin” crossover.
In the wake of the fall of Krakoa, the X-Men are forever changed. As Jean Grey prepares to take her place among the stars, she and Cyclops share a last night together, only to discover a hidden mystery that threatens to pull them apart.
Meanwhile, what was supposed to be a mundane article about Charles Xavier’s monstrous acts during the war turns into something far stranger for journalist Sally Floyd. Can the X-Men survive the shadows lurking in their pasts, or will their new era begin in tragedy?
