HoX / PoX
2019Jonathan Hickman's twin miniseries that relaunched the entire X-Men line and established the mutant nation of Krakoa. Told across two interlocking series with a complex non-linear structure, HoX/PoX redefines mutant history across four timelines — revealing that Moira MacTaggert has been secretly guiding Xavier's dream through multiple lives, that mutants have always been destined to lose, and that Krakoa represents their last, best chance at survival. The series ends with every mutant on Earth united under one banner for the first time, backed by resurrection protocols that conquer death itself.
