Marvel teases Fall of X with a number of one-shots including the return of Apocalypse
We get a bunch of new details for the upcoming Fall of X which was teased a NYCC 2022 and will follow from the world-building that Jonathan Hickman did with House of X and Powers of X. Fall of X asks fans the question “Can Krakoa last forever?”
But before the actual Fall of X begins, we get a number of one-shots for May through July which aims to tie up lose ends and get started on the event proper.
The one-shots include:

Do they rule over this twisted world or do its demonic inhabitants rule them? And how has Apocalypse felt about the choices the Quiet Council has made in his absence?

- Four Sinisters plot their next move.
- In the aftermath of SINS OF SINISTER, all four Sinisters have been unmasked. They’ve gotten a taste of universal control but their true plans for mutantkind are just beginning…
These one-shots are interesting and I really feel bad for what happened to Nightcrawler during the events of Sins of Sinister # 1 where he got turned into a monster and chained up like a dog by Sinister.
