Summary

Jonathan Hickman’s departure from the X-Men’s Krakoan Age was marked by disappointment after his plans for a sweeping mutant saga fell through due to creative and logistical challenges, earning him criticism from fans who felt his vision wasn’t fully realized. Despite leaving Marvel in 2022, he remains a key figure in shaping the company’s revised universe, contributing to the Ultimate Spider-Man and other projects. The mutants are now back to their divisive past, but Hickman is set to wrap up his time at Marvel later this year as he focuses on new creative endeavors beyond the X-books.
