Marvel’s announcement of X-Men #700 states, ‘All good things must come to an end, and as good of a thing as the Krakoan era has been for mutantkind… its time has come at last.’ The events of Fall Of The House Of X and Rise Of The Powers Of X have led to this moment that will shape the future of mutantkind for years to come.

Chris Claremont’s Contribution to X-Men #700

In addition to the current X-Men creators, the oversized issue will include a story by the legendary Chris Claremont. Claremont’s influential run on X-Men from the ’70s through the ’90s shaped much of what fans know about the team and its characters. His contribution to X-Men #700 adds an exciting element of nostalgia and continuity to the milestone issue.

The Future of the X-Men Franchise

Although it has not been officially confirmed, there are strong indications that writer Gail Simone will be involved in the relaunch of the X-Men. Simone is set to write the X-Men portion of Marvel’s upcoming X-Men/Blood Hunt Free Comic Book Day one-shot. This suggests that the X-Men franchise is in good hands and fans can look forward to exciting new stories and adventures in the future.

As X-Men #700 marks the end of the Krakoa era, it paves the way for a new chapter in the X-Men’s journey. Marvel’s plans for the X-Men franchise are eagerly awaited, and fans can expect the creative team to deliver fresh and compelling narratives that will continue to captivate readers.
