Publication history

edit

The initiative was announced by Marvel Comics' Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and VP, Executive Editor Tom Brevoort as part of the "Future of Marvel Comics' X-Men and Digital Comics" panel at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2024 on March 14, 2024.[1][2] Brevoort replaced Jordan White as Group Editor of the X-Men,[3] commenting that "because the characters were going to be of greater importance to Studios in the years to come, it made sense to have a more senior editorial presence overseeing the book".[4] The relaunch intends to tell the story of mutantkind in a new status quo established following the end of the Krakoan Age's last phase Fall of X.[5][6] The editorial direction they were given was to move away from "wrapping [the] Krakoa era".[4] Brevoort highlighted that the relaunch name was derived from the opening text in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975) and that it was Gail Simone who "who threw out the phrase 'From the Ashes' amongst a bunch of other suggestions".[7]

As part of the initial announcement, details around the first three titles – X-Men (vol. 7) written by Jed MacKay with art by Ryan Stegman, Uncanny X-Men (vol. 6) written by Simone with art by David Marquez, and Exceptional X-Men written by Eve L. Ewing with art by Carmen Carnero – were revealed. X-Men is scheduled for release in July 2024 with Uncanny X-Men following in August 2024 and Exceptional X-Men in September 2024.[1][2] Additional ongoing titles were later confirmed: NYX (vol. 2), Phoenix, Storm (vol. 5), Wolverine (vol. 8), X-Factor (vol. 5), and X-Force (vol. 7).[2][8] Jake Murray of ComicsXF highlighted that, per Brevoort, the intention of this relaunch is "catering to each and every type of X-Men fan" so everyone has something with no "unifying concept" beyond that. Murray commented that "each title very much feels separate from the others – set in different locations, combating different threats, featuring different characters. So if there feels like a lack of cohesion or connectedness between the titles, that's by design".[9]

The final Fall of X issue, X-Men (vol. 6) #35 (legacy Uncanny X-Men #700), was published in June 2024;[10] the end of the issue previews the From The Ashes relaunch with Xavier telepathically "witnessing mutants trying to re-integrate into human society and facing the same fear and hatred they always have".[11] Marvel then dropped X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity Comic, written by Alex Paknadel with art by Diogenes Neve, on June 5; the series picks up from X-Men (vol. 6) #35 and leads into X-Men (vol. 7) #1.[12][13]

Critical reception

edit

On the launch of From the Ashes, Austin Gorton of ComicsXF traced the cyclical nature of X-Men line relaunches, commenting that it is "worth remembering that this is hardly the first time the X-Men have been relaunched in the interest of presenting a more sales-friendly version of the line. That even amid the corporate-driven appeal to the bottom line, good stories can still emerge, new readers can discover the characters and become fans, with the full tapestry of what came before – both good and bad – now more available to them than ever before".[53] Gorton highlighted that From the Ashes is similar to the "'91 relaunch, Astonishing X-Men and the Color Era" as it was "clearly designed to present a more comfortable and broadly appealing  iteration of the characters, one that will, with eventual hindsight, likely mimic what is coming in the form of the MCU's version of the X-Men. That it comes at the expense of such a distinctive and creative (if somewhat floundering) iteration of the line, an iteration that deeply resonated with many readers, is a shame".[53]
