MegaCon in Orlando gave fans a look into Fall of X, kicking off this summer with new titles and stories designed to usher in a new age of X-Men. With dominos set up through 2019’s House of X and Powers of X, Fall of X provides the powerful answer to the burning question of how long the Krakoan Age can really endure: infinitely? Or is there a clock on paradise?
