In HOUSE OF In January, these major storylines and more come to a head in the Krakoan Age finale: Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck Fall of House X and Kieron Gillen and RB Silva RISE OF POWER OF X..

In writing the final chapter of Krakoa, Gillen said: “I try not to let the responsibility of this sink in – the Krakoan Age is, above all, a story.

I just got into comics to do good work. I need this to be good and I think this is it.”
