Mutantkind no longer has Krakoa, but they still have the X-Men. Over the past few months, new series announcements have revealed what awaits in the team's new "From the Ashes" era.
Set around - and beyond - the globe, the upcoming titles will see new teams assemble to take on emerging threats to mutankind, all while beloved characters fulfil their long-awaited destiny as solo heroes, and other groups of mutants come together to survive a world that fears them now more than ever.
They may share the same dream, but they have different missions. Harkening back to classic X-Men storytelling while embracing the franchise's modern evolution, Marvel Comics has described "From the Ashes" as an exciting fresh start for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
The initiative will officially kick off this July in the pages of X-Men #1, NYX #1, Phoenix #1, and X-Force #1. Today, we have details about August's X-Men titles, revealing more about what's to come for Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Grey, and more...

Jean Grey is dedicated to protecting innocents in deep space!
