Marvel unveils a look at the various tie-in books to the ongoing Fall of X storyline. Tying in specifically to Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck’s Fall of the House of X story set in the present day, these issues detail the coordinated battle against Orchis. The biggest tie-in from April is Resurrection of Magneto #4, which teases Magneto’s return and how the Orchis plots affect his new disposition.
The reverberations will also echo beyond the X-line of books and reach straight into books like Jed MacKay and Francesco Mortarino’s Avengers and the closely connected Invincible Iron Man by Gerry Duggan and Patch Zircher.
The full list of issue synopses and covers can be seen below:
