Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck are creating the end of days for the Krakoan Age of the X-Men with Fall Of The House Of X. And the preview below from Comic Book taps into some of the tropes from the Jonathan Hickman relaunch that began four-and-a-half years ago, and will be relaunched again in June next year.
The "fastball special" first appeared in X-Men #100 from Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum…
…before being reversed in X-Men #137 on the moon with John Byrne.
But now it is to be reversed in a new fashion, and it might need a new name.
With Colossus, rather than throwing Wolverine at someone, throws someone…
… at Wolverine and his claws.
Screwball special it is.
And a few other preview pages…

KRAKOA HAS JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT!
Mutantkind has never had a greater fall. From the highs of Krakoa – their own glorious nation, a place where they were safe and happy – to the lowest of lows. Outlawed, hunted, killed, most of their kind missing or dead, and now, one their greatest leaders, Cyclops, is on trial facing a death penalty. Ready or not, the time has come for the X-Men to make their final stand against the forces that have struck them low. The day is now. The place is here. The tale of the house Xavier built will long be told…and few will forget this darkest chapter. From writer Gerry Duggan (X-MEN, MARAUDERS, UNCANNY AVENGERS) and artist Lucas Werneck (IMMORTAL X-MEN, TRIAL OF MAGNETO) comes half of the story that will bring the Krakoa Age to its conclusion! Rated T+In Shops: Jan 03, 2024 SRP: $5.99
