X-Men/Fantastic Four, meanwhile, will be a four-issue miniseries by Chip Zdarsky and the art team of Terry and Rachel Dodson, teaming the two comic book teams for a story centering around Franklin Richards — son of Reed and Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four, and an extremely powerful mutant in his own right — and the question of whether or not he should live in the newly established mutant nation of Krakoa. The series is notable for being the first large-scale meeting between the larger Marvel Universe and the “new” X-Men status quo — as detailed in Hickman's recent books, which have recast mutants as the dominant species on Earth.

Both series will launch in February alongside the already announced Wolverine solo series, bringing the total of X-Men titles to nine. Additionally, at least two further series are planned for the line, with Hickman teasing a solo series for supporting character Moira MacTaggert in a recent interview, and a series titled X-Corp being announced in the letter column of the Captain Marvel series.
