SDCC 2019 – Dawn of X Reveal

House of X and Powers of X due out in the next two weeks will kick off the multi-year vision from Jonathan Hickman to completely overhaul the X-Men universe. The Dawn of X reveal was one of the biggest moments from SDCC 2019!

House of X and Powers of X: 

Jonathan Hickman who may later be appropriately named the “savior of the mutants” was joined by Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and others to talk about what’s coming up.  Early on in the discussion, they eluded to similar big story arcs on the horizon for several characters including Ghost Rider, Venom, Fantastic Four, and Immortal Hulk.  Then the panel moved on as Cebulski said, “X-Men! X-Men! This is their day! It’s time for X-Men announcements.”

Hickman described the first two titles that will launch the new era of the X-Men by saying “House of X and Powers of X are two intertwined stories that set the stage for the new X-Men status quo.”  Powers of X tells the story of the “Past, present and future of mutantkind.”

“House of X and Powers of X lay the groundwork for a whole new world of X-Men stories for years to come, and the Dawn of X books are the promise of that new world come to life,” said X-Men Senior Editor Jordan D. White. “They are the start of the new era that will change how we think of the X-Men and the kinds of stories we tell with them. It all begins here.”

Before moving on Hickman teased fans, “House of X #5 is the good one. Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister will show up later in the series.” 

On display was the full roster of mutants, and one by one the teams and new titles were revealed.  Without further ado, in order of reveal here are the titles and team reveals!
