"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 and second phase of the Krakoan Age,[1] which culminated in the limited series "Inferno" and was followed by a sequel relaunch named "Destiny of X".[2]
"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.[3] "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]
When the issues were re-released in trade paperback collections in 2022, this phase was split and renamed into Reign of X and Trials of X.[4]IGN highlighted that "Reign of X showcases Krakoa at the height of its power and influence. Trials of X is about the new and growing threats to Krakoa, as storm clouds begin to gather on the horizon".[5]
