From Krakoa to the Factory: Where the X-Men Live Now

Tied to: X-Men (2024) #39 · DNX (2026) #3

Krakoa, the living island, was first introduced as a villain in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975) by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. Jonathan Hickman's House of X and Powers of X (2019) turned it into a mutant nation with its own language, laws, and a way to resurrect the dead.

That era ended in 2024 with Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X. In the 'From the Ashes' relaunch that followed, Jed MacKay's X-Men (2024) moved Cyclops's team into an old Sentinel factory in Alaska, known simply as the Factory.

Today: DNX pits the X-Men against 3K, a rival mutant group led by the Chairman. Both sides glimpsed the 'Age of Revelation' future, and X-Men #39 brings the fight to the Factory itself.
