The current line of “X-Men” comics was launched in 2019 by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Pepe Larraz with the intersecting mini-series: “House of X” & “Powers of X.” In these, Professor X and Magneto finally put aside their differences — because Charles has seen Erik’s light.
It turns out Moira MacTaggert, Charles’ on-and-off lover, is a mutant herself; when she dies, the whole timeline resets to the moment of her birth, but she remembers everything. She’s lived ten lives and wants to use her knowledge so mutants survive. So, she brings together Xavier and Magneto and they create a new mutant homeland on the island of Krakoa (Moira is a silent partner).
The “Krakoa era” of “X-Men” is coming to an end this year, with full circle mini-series: “Fall of the House of X” (Gerry Duggan & Lucas Werneck) and “Rise of the Powers of X” (Kieron Gillen and RB Silva). There are dozens of comics in between, so if you’re an “X-Men” ’92 fan and want to know if Krakoa is to your liking — read “X-Men ’92: House of XCII” (by Steve Foxe and Salva Espin).
The five-issue series imagines the events of Krakoa unfolding in the world of the 1990s “X-Men” cartoon. Espin reuses the costume designs from the show, with thicker line art, earthier colors, and a softer sheen than Larraz’s art. Foxe blitzes through the major beats of Krakoa (for instance, issue #3 speed runs through the 20+ issue “X of Swords” event).
Basically, “X-Men ’92: House of XCII” takes your childhood X-Men heroes and puts them through new challenges. If those challenges/stories intrigue you, then check out the Krakoa-era comics themselves.
