Everything on this image was included for a reason and will have heart-pounding pay-offs in the near future for our favorite Krakoans. After the dawn comes the reign, and what a reign it will be!” ‘Reign of X,’ which marks the second part of the X-Men titles overseen by Hickman and co. after ‘Dawn of X,’ begins next week.
