Publication history
[edit]X-Manhunt crossover was announced by Marvel Comics on December 16, 2024. The crossover will focus on Professor X's run after the breakout from Graymalkin Prison; and various mutant communities revolving around it.[1]
Marvel Comics' Executive Editor Tom Brevoort explained that after Krakoan Age, they had kept various mutant groups separated from each other and stated that “it feels like now is the right time to send them crashing into one another." On Professor X being the central individual for the event, Brevoort emphasized that Professor X is better choice who'll instigate situation and highlighted about him that he "has intimate connections with almost all of our key players.”[2]

Critical reception
[edit]Pre-release
[edit]In December 2024, Chris Miller from Screen Rant commented that storylines in comic book series of X-Men: From the Ashes relaunch were kept isolated to focus on smaller cast of characters and X-Manhunt is big crossover between them post-Krakoan Age. Both Miller and Screen Rant's Alex Schlesinger highlighted possible clashes between Rogue and Cyclops' X-Men, and Havok's X-Force on different ideologies.[6][4]
