Marvel Comics revived “Giant-Size” in 2005 and again in 2020, with a series of one-shots written by Hickman and featuring characters like Storm, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Fantomex, and Jean Grey and Emma Frost. Most recently, the title returned for Giant-Size X-Men (2024) #1 in May, part of Marvel’s line of Giant-Size one-shots commemorating 50 years of giant-sized comics with 1974’s Giant Size Super-Stars #1.
In his latest Substack newsletter, MarvelComics VP Executive Editor Tom Brevoortteased more Giant-Size X-Men in 2025 to mark 50 years since 1975’s Giant-Size X-Men #1. “There will be some giant-size X-Men goodness coming your way in 2025 as a part of this anniversary celebration,” Brevoort wrote, “but not exactly in the way that you’re imagining. Stay tuned.”
In July, Marvel launched X-Men: From the Ashes, the line-wide X-books relaunch that includes flagship titles X-Men (by Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman), Uncanny X-Men (by Gail Simone and David Marquez), and Exceptional X-Men (by Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero).
Along with the just-relaunched NYX, X-Force, and X-Factor, the X-Men’s From the Ashes era will expand in the months ahead with new ongoing series (Wolverine, Storm, Psylocke, and Laura Kinney: Wolverine) and limited series (Dazzler, Sentinels, and Mystique).
“The X-Men are fractured in the aftermath of the end of Krakoa,scattered across the globe without a central base of operation,” Brevoort said earlier this year of the flagships X-Men, Uncanny, and Exceptional. “What that means inpractice is that all three titles carrying the name X-Men are core X-Menseries—they all center around one of the major aspects of what the teamhas been about at different points. This is very much by design. Wewant to field a wide assortment of X-titles with different styles andtones and approaches, an X-Men book for virtually any taste.”
