Destiny of X

"Destiny of X" is a 2022 relaunch of the X-Men line of comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is the sequel to "Reign of X" following the end of the dual miniseries X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine.^[1] It was the third phase of the Krakoan Age, and the first following the departure of Jonathan Hickman at the end of "Reign of X.” “Destiny of X” included the crossover events A.X.E.: Judgment Day and Sins of Sinister. A sequel, "Fall of X," was launched in August 2023.

The previous phase Reign of X concluded with X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine (January – March 2022) which led into Destiny of X.^[2][3][4]

This phase included the crossover event A.X.E.: Judgment Day (July – November 2022) which focused on humanity's discovery of the mutant resurrection protocols and the subsequent conflict between the Avengers, the X-Men and the Eternals. This event was written by Kieron Gillen with art by Valerio Schiti.^[5] X-Men Red by writer Al Ewing, with art by Stefano Caselli, focuses on the terraformed Mars now known as Arrako which serves as the home to millions of mutants freed during the X of Swords crossover.^[6][7][8] The Marauders series was relaunched with writer Steve Orlando, artist Eleonora Carlini, and colorist Matt Milla as the new creative team.^[9][10][11] Screen Rant commented that in the first volume the Marauders were "tasked with protecting the interests of the Hellfire Trading Company's black-market and rescuing mutant refugees feeling from unfriendly nations, returning them to safety on Krakoa. Now that most of the world's mutants have been relocated to Krakoa from dangerous territories, and X-Force taking on more responsibility with retrieving stolen Hellfire goods, Pryde is repositioning her Marauders team as a mutant Search and Rescue squad".^[10] Additionally, Gilleon began writing the Immortal X-Men series with artist Lucas Werneck which focused on the Quiet Council of Krakoa;^[12][13] this series built plot points for the Sins of Sinister (January – April 2023) event which concluded the phase.^[14][15]

In May 2024, X-Men Group Editor Jordan D. White commented that the anthology collection "format was shelved" and there would not be complied trade paperbacks for Destiny of X or Fall of X.^[16]
