About this Collection

Reign of X Vol. 7 collects issues #5–8 of the X-Men: Curse of the Man-Thing series and the X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #1–2, continuing the Dawn of X era's focus on mutantkind's new nation of Krakoa. This volume features Dazzler, Wolverine, and other X-Men facing supernatural threats, while also delving into the fallout of Magneto's apparent death and the resurrection protocols that shake Krakoan society. Key characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, and Cable appear alongside newer mutants as the line-wide narrative builds toward the Inferno event.

In "Shadows of the Mind," Mirage and Karma are pushed to their limits as Merlyn commands them to reclaim a mysterious vessel from Roma, testing their loyalty and resolve. Meanwhile, the Shadow King enlists Wolfsbane to guide young mutants grappling with their identities—some of whom are exploring the dangerous, unpredictable power of body swapping. Written by Vita Ayala and illustrated by Rod Reis, with a striking cover by Christian Ward, this issue dives deep into the psychological and emotional stakes of mutant identity.
