Marvel Comics has announced a new four-issue series by Kieron Gillen and Luca Maresca called X-Men: Forever. Launching on March 20th, the series promises to give us “answers behind Krakoa’s darkest truths and set the stage for mutantkind’s spectacular rebirth.”
“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 explained. “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.”
