Death Comes To X-Men… And They Are Not In Krakoa Anymore (Spoilers)
Death comes to the X-Men this week... and they are not in Krakoa anymore. And these deaths are going to stick. (Spoilers)
Article Summary
- X-Men face permanent deaths as Resurrection Protocols end, transforming their legacy forever.
- Five major comics this week hint at crucial, non-reversible events that could reshuffle the mutant ranks.
- Mystique, Phoenix, and Scarlet Witch storylines explore new threats, with no easy fixes in sight.
- Uncover new mysteries and dark pasts as the post-Krakoa era marks a pivotal change for the X-Men.
In the Krakoan Age, the X-Men did away with death. The Resurrection Protocols saw six mutants working together to bring mutants back from the dead. Introduced as a deft trick with House Of X, it had always been the case that X-Men died and were somehow brought back to life, becoming a mocked trope. House Of X lampshaded that trope and acknowledged it as canon. Dead mutants had their bodies regrown and implanted with their saved memories and "souls", which brought another list of problems with it.
But that has all gone away now. Mutants who die now stay dead. And post-Krakoa, there may be a lack of bringing back mutants a few issues after they have been killed, or even at all. If only to emphasise the difference between now and then.
This Wednesday sees the publication of Phoenix #7, Uncanny X-Men #9, Scarlet Witch #8, Mystique #4 and Xavier's Secret Files #1, a big mutant and mutant-adjacent week. The books have seen all manner of new mutant characters join in the wake of Krakoa. Well… they are not all going to make it to the end of the week alive. Sentinels, space gods, anti-mutant evangelists, mobs with torches. And no one is getting resurrected now. Unless… you know… there was that mention in Timeslide #1 asking "who waits within the last egg?"
