In 2019, writer Jonathan Hickman and his artistic collaborators revolutionized Marvel’s X-Men titles by giving mutants a country of their own, the island known as Krakoa. The event happened in two interlocking miniseries — House of X and Powers of X — which showed how Charles Xavier and Moira MacTaggert came together with other mutants to establish Krakoa. Four years later, the anti-mutant organization, known as Orchis, has the upper hand, and the X-Men are left fighting a desperate war for existence. That war begins next month in the pages of two miniseries, writer Gerry Duggan and artist Lucas Werneck’s Fall of the House of X, which is set in the present, and Kieron Gillen and artist R.B. Silva’s Rise of the Powers of X, which starts 10 years in the future.Gillen is also penning X-Men: Forever, a miniseries that launches in March and is meant to wrap up some of the threads of his Immortal X-Men run while also tying into the Rise and Fall. CBR spoke with Gillen about both books, his cast of characters, the shadowy, cross-time nature of the conflict in Rise, and the responsibility of helping to wrap up one of the biggest eras in X-Men history.Kieron Gillen: It’s really tricky to talk about because I see this all as one motion. Not in a “you can’t jump in at any point” way, but more of, “This is a story I’ve been building for over two years, and the X-office has been building for five.” We’ll hit a conclusion, and it will be big. It’s the Endgame if we want to talk about a Cinematic Universe parallel, which is not a bad comparison to make.
