Dawn of X
Dawn of X is a 2019 relaunch initiative presented by Marvel Comics of various comics related to the "X-Men" franchise. Publication history. The initiative was announced at "The Next Big Thing" panel as San Diego Comic-Con 2019, intended to tell the story of mutantkind in a new status quo established by Jonathan Hickman after the "House of X"/"Powers of X" ("HOX"/"POX") event concluded, redefining "X-Men" as a brand and its place in the Marvel Universe, with all creative teams working closely under Hickman's supervision. The line concluded with the crossover event "X of  Swords", which initiated a sequel relaunch named "Reign of X" in December 2020. Premise. Mutants are offered asylum on the island of Krakoa, ruled under a council formed by Professor X, Magneto and Apocalypse, among others. While several factions deal with their own issues, Moira MacTaggert warns them all about an incoming threat that may doom mutantkind, and probably the whole world. Reading order.
