"Reign of X" is a 2020 relaunch of the X-Men line of comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is the sequel to the "Dawn of X" publishing initiative, [1] which culminated in the limited series "Inferno" and was followed by a sequel relaunch named "Destiny of X". [2]
The "Dawn of X" initiative was announced at "The Next Big Thing" panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, [3] intending 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 concludes, redefining X-Men as a brand and its place in the Marvel Universe, with all creative teams working closely under Hickman's supervision. [4]
"Dawn of X" concluded with the crossover event X of Swords , which initiated a sequel relaunch titled "Reign of X" in December 2020. [1] This phase saw the line come together for the Hellfire Gala event, as well as Jonathan Hickman's departure from the line with the miniseries Inferno. [5] "Reign of X" concluded with the twin event series X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine, during which the majority of the line (aside from X-Men, New Mutants, and Sabretooth) was put on pause. X Lives and X Deaths then served as the foundation of a new relaunch titled "Destiny of X". [2]
