Marvel is bringing back to X-Men to their original state in 2024, starting with the logo
Marvel recently released a teaser on their Twitter account showing the X-Men logo and a bit of detail about what the merry mutants would be like in 2024 after the Krakoan age which is all falling apart in the pages of Fall of X storyline. And it looks like they will be going back to their former status quo as a school. We are also looking at the return of the classic X-Men logo we know and love!
Here’s the original tweet from the Marvel Comics Twitter page:
From the ashes…the X-Men titles are reborn!

So from what we can tell, the new editor Tom Brevoort is looking to bring the team back to their original roots, that’s what Marvel’s been going ever since they announced the next phase after Fall of X and the tragic deaths of the mutants during the events of Hellfire Gala 2023.
And the logo is a clear indicator that they would be ditching all the stuff about islands and resurrection and return to the school setting. Here’s the current logo for the X-Men main book written by Gerry Duggan…
And here’s the classic logo to jot down your memory
What we know so far about the next story for the X-Men and the on-going Fall of X storyline is that they will be kind of rethreading the now-classic Powers of X and House of X only with a slightly rebranding or change of title. This will be titled “Fall of the House of X” and “Rise of Powers of X”.
Here’s the official press release from Marvel.com
In 2019’s HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X, visionary writer Jonathan Hickman reshaped the X-Men mythos with the founding of Krakoa, the discovery of mutant resurrection, the reveal of Moira MacTaggert’s past lives, and a glimpse into a shocking future where mutantkind was crushed under the might of the Sentinels, Nimrod, and post-humanity! In January, these critical plot threads and more come to a head in the finale of the Krakoan Age: Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck’s FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X and Kieron Gillen and R.B. Silva’s RISE OF THE POWER OF X..
This all-new pair of interconnected series crafted by some the X-Men’s chief world builders will deliver the climactic ending to over four years of revolutionary mutant storytelling and positions the X-Men for their next great evolution! The saga kicks off with two pivotal battles as a classic lineup of iconic X-Men have their long-awaited showdown with Orchis, while in the future, a small band of surviving X-Men struggle with their stolen destiny.
Krakoa, the living island nation that’s welcomed, protected, and advanced mutantkind, has fallen! Now, the scattered X-Men recover and regroup in the FALL OF X era, bracing themselves for the fight to restore hope! It’ll be a war across space and time that will be fought on two fronts: the present-day in FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X and the not-so-distant and the far future in RISE OF THE POWERS OF X. All of mutantkind has a role to play, but two squads of X-Men will be at the forefront in the opening issues.
On penning the final chapter of Krakoa, Gillen said, “I’m trying to not let the responsibility of it get to me—the Krakoan Age, above anything else, is a story. Stories are about their structure—the potential of the opening, the developing richness of the middle, and (relevantly) the elegance and/or sledgehammer to the face of the denouement. I only got into comics to do good work. I need this to be good, and I think it is.”
Today, fans can get a sneak peek at all that’s to come in never-before-seen artwork from FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X #1 and RISE OF THE POWERS OF X #1. The new preview showcases both present and future X-Men teams in action against Nimrod and Omega Sentinel, plus a look at dramatic moments like Cyclops’ trial, Professor X’s desperate call for help from Krakoa, Emma Frost’s last stand, and Moira MacTaggert mapping out her endgame.
