The fall of Krakoa spills out into the pages of Avengers, Iron Man, and more this April

The X-Men find themselves under siege as the mutant nation of Krakoa falls, and the Avengers won’t be standing by.

The chaos spreads

Big things are happening in the pages of Marvel Comics. Not that there’s anything new there, as the publisher’s slate of superhero books typically has some big and explosive crossover happening. But nevertheless, the continuing Fall of Krakoa arc is pretty important for fans of the X-Men and Marvel’s mutants in general.

The crossover is about to get a heck of a lot bigger too, as some more of Marvel’s heavy hitters are about to get their hands dirty. As you can see above, that includes the Avengers, and specifically Tony Stark, who’ll be facing off against his own tech.

Aside from X-books and mini-series’ like Dead X-Men and Resurrection of Magneto, the monthly Avengers and Invincible Iron Man titles will see spillover from the Fall, and then there’s Sabertooth War. Having just launched, the ten part series will be rolling on as well, and is being billed as “the most violent Wolverine story ever told” by the publisher.

Scroll down to check out synopsis’ for all of the above and more, all landing in stores this April.
