For 50 years, Giant-Size X-Men #1 by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum has stood as one of the most important moments in Marvel Comics history, reshaping the X-Men forever. Now, Marvel celebrates its milestone anniversary with an all-new, five-part event spanning the greatest eras of mutantkind! Today, fans can learn about the event’s final two chapters on sale in July: GIANT-SIZE HOUSE OF M #1 and GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #2.
From the emergence of Krakoa in Giant-Size X-Men #1 to Age of Apocalypse, House of M and The Dark Phoenix Saga, history has shaped – and shattered – the X-Men time and again. But what if those moments held deeper secrets? What if the past wasn’t set in stone? Acclaimed X-Scribes Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing join forces with legendary X-Men artist Adam Kubert and superstar artists Rod Reis, C.F. Villa, and Francesco Manna for an epic journey across the X-Men’s most pivotal stories. Kicking off this May in GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1, the event continues in June’s GIANT-SIZE DARK PHOENIX SAGA #1 and GIANT-SIZE AGE OF APOCALYPSE. Then, the saga concludes in July with GIANT-SIZE HOUSE OF M #1 and GIANT SIZE X-MEN #2, which are revealed today!
In GIANT-SIZE HOUSE OF M #1, Kamala Khan witnesses the rise and fall of the Scarlet Witch’s doomed utopia twenty years after it first shattered mutantkind! She’s flown with the All-Different X-Men on their first mission, withstood the Dark Phoenix and survived the Age of Apocalypse – and now Ms. Marvel is rewarded with a world where mutants reign supreme! But beneath the gilded surface, this utopia is rotting with prejudice and oppression – and Kamala must find an unlikely ally in schoolteacher Kitty Pryde to help her learn to live in this brave new world. But if Kamala is here...so is Legion! What dangerous power will he unleash – and can Kamala recruit allies in time to stand against him? Or will she – and all of mutantkind – be newly decimated?
Then, with all of mutant history standing behind her, Ms. Marvel reaches the culmination of her journey in GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #2! It all comes down to this. The final confrontation between the mad Old Man Legion and the New Mutant, Ms. Marvel. At stake: Jersey City, New York and the White Hot Room itself. Kamala Khan understands now what it truly means to be a mutant – but will that be enough to stand against the most powerful enemy she has ever faced? Will she truly stand alone? And how will the aftermath of this adventure change Kamala Khan forever? Adam Kubert returns to close out the event with his breathtaking art in this can’t miss issue that takes things back to present day!
Each GIANT-SIZE X-MEN one-shot also features a Revelations Back-Up Story that uncovers hidden lore behind each respective story and sets up exciting present-day developments for the near future. In GIANT-SIZE HOUSE OF M #1’s Revelation Back-Up Story, current Wolverine creative team Saladin Ahmed and Martín Cóccolo reveal a secret memory that was disclosed to Wolverine at the end of House of M! For the final Revelations Back-Up Story in GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #2, current X-Men scribe Jed MacKay and acclaimed artist CAFU showcase a major new player in the X-Universe!

Revelation looks more like Doug Ramsay than he does post-transformation where he was bald and beefier. I have wanted a follow-up to Heir of Apocalypse and I am curious to see how this will play out. I wonder if Warlock will betray Revelation and side with the X-Men to remove Doug's brainwashing.

Serialized fiction is REALLY hard to write, because any given premise or stock of character personality types eventually runs out of steam.It was cited about 50 years ago, that in comics, there's only about 7 or 8 plot types.Stories that repeat over and over with just some mix and match variations, and when yer done those......you borrow from the other guy's comics.A couple of classic tropes: the hero who falls ( or fails) upon hard times and gives up the costume and heroics to go off and soul-search themselves. Who has not done that yet in a run of stories?Another popular one with group books is a member of the group starts to succumb to some condition or situation and becomes a great threat to the group ( or a larger community) and has to be defeated by said group.This is why a lot of long-running comics creators (still) talk about a 5-year audience cycle--that a typical reader only sticks with a book for 5 years, because the stories start to repeat themes and said reader(s) lose interest ( in comic all together) and go off to other things. And when a creator decides to really try and innovate, the comic starts getting really weird and off-the-wall and the things that made it appealing in the first place often take a hit.It's a tough craft to work in,

Mucking around again and again with a set tale is not only wishy-washy, it diminishes both the original story AND its revision.Start at your beginning, say what you are going to say, get to the end, then stop. pulling repeated "Columbo's" by going ",,,,,oh, and ONE MORE THING....." is exhausting. Tell a completely different story instead of something that works before. Stop beating the same horse to death.

I was right! They ARE ending it with "Giant-Size House of M"!

"X-Men: Second Coming" also did this with Hope Summers. "Trial of Magneto" simply served to remove her culpability for "House of M", in a 'legal' sense. Nothing actually got resolved, in a physical sense.
She only gave one mutant their powers back in Children Crusade (Rictor) before Doom stole the Lifeforce from her and she couldn't do it anymore. She did help Hope in AvsX, but like I said it wasn't until TOM that she was actually allowed to undo HOM

Children's Crusade just had a nonsensical way of trying to explain Disassembled and still failed at that, since it didn't address the main reason for it .

On 2/19/2025 at 11:37 AM, RobertD said:Generally, I prefer it when writers respect what has come before. It's one thing to update something due to the ol' sliding timescale, or even undoing really poorly made editorial choices (Avenging Angel Punisher, for example), but taking perfectly fine past stories and then cramming them with senseless "but... what if _____ where there instead?" seems both hollow and honestly a little disrespectful to the material. But some people like continuity and some people like to tread all over it, I happen to be the former.

On 3/12/2025 at 8:59 AM, GarimusPrime said:Can they do a "Giant-Size House of M", where Wanda says "No more Kamala Khan", and she just disappears, forever? I'd buy 50 copies of that one.
Better yet, just get rid of "No More Mutants"
