For quite a while now, Marvel Comics has been using legacy numbering on its titles so those who are comic collectors know how large their collection is, but also keeping new number ones on shelves so new comic readers don’t feel too intimidated… In June, X-Men #35 will be the 700th issue of the series to land on store shelves.
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 said, “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.”
X-Men #35 is scheduled to arrive on June 5, 2024.
