As the FALL OF X approaches and the X-Men brace themselves for the dark road ahead, they’ll also find strength in mutantkind’s new ally: Iron Man!

From writer Gerry Duggan, who is currently helming both the X-MEN and INVINCIBLE IRON MAN ongoing series, comes a story weaving together and featuring essential stories across both titles that will impact the X-Men’s upcoming status quo.

Events and plot points have already been set in motion as Feilong, the mutant-hating industrialist from Duggan’s X-MEN, now controsl Stark Unlimited with plans to use the incredible resources and plans to use them in Orchis’ vicious war against mutants as Feilong has devoted Iron Man’s technology to build the next generation of Sentinels! These upgraded versions are as hard to beat as old Shellhead himself and are fully devoted to crushing the X-Men!

Following their soon-to-be-shocking debut in FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023: AVENGERS/X-MEN #1, the new Stark Sentinels will have their first run-in with the X-Men in X-MEN #23.

In INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #7, Tony Stark is in dire need of a win! But how does he plan to get ahead? By building a new suit of armor! The suit’s first objective? Infiltrate and destroy Stark Industries!

And that’s not all, July’s INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #8 will tie directly into this year’s HELLFIRE GALA! As the X-Men celebrate mutantkind’s biggest night, Iron Man has to contend with the new Stark Sentinels flying through New York! Can Tony stop these mutant-hunting machines alone?

All this and as events continue to escalate, will Tony step up, becoming one mutantkind’s greatest defenders? Or will he join them in the bleak world that awaits them all in FALL OF X?

Don’t miss these key turning points in both titles starting in June, and in the meantime, check out the covers for these issues now:
