The X-Men franchise continues its successful run, drawing in both longtime fans and those returning to the fold. This January, Marvel is set to deliver an exciting new entry for readers with X-Men: Xavier’s Secret #1. This one-shot collection brings together the first six issues of X-Men: From the Ashes, originally released as part of the Infinity Comic series on Marvel Unlimited, penned by Alex Paknadel and illustrated by Diógenes Neves.
In X-Men: Xavier’s Secret #1, two pivotal stories delve into the past actions and decisions of iconic X-Men figures—Professor X, Cyclops, and Jean Grey—that have shaped their present. The first tale focuses on Jean Grey’s final moments on Earth before embarking on the galaxy-spanning adventures now explored in Stephanie Phillips and Alessandro Miracolo’s Phoenix series. The second sheds light on Professor Xavier’s hidden misdeeds during the Fall of the House of X, revealing how these transgressions will lead to a monumental showdown in the upcoming “Raid on Graymalkin” crossover event.
