X-Men: From the Ashes – Demons and Death #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeX-Men: From the Ashes – Demons and Death #1 marks the first time the story content from X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity Comic issues #7–12 appeared in a print format, making a previously digital-exclusive chapter of the post-Krakoa era accessible to readers who collect physical comics. The issue bridges two significant character arcs — Havok's complicated resurrection under the Goblin Queen's unspoken hex, and Omega Red's return to his Siberian homeland — both of which feed directly into the X-Factor and Sentinels titles of the From the Ashes publishing initiative. As a print debut of stories that had existed only in Marvel Unlimited's vertical Infinity Comic format, it represents Marvel's continued effort during this era to bring digital-first content into the broader collected-edition ecosystem. It also stands as a rare spotlight issue for Omega Red, a character whose solo narrative real estate in the From the Ashes line was otherwise thin.

The underlying stories were written by Alex Paknadel with interior art by Phillip Sevy and coloring by Arthur Hesli, and were originally published digitally through Marvel Unlimited's Infinity Comic platform — a vertical-scroll format designed for mobile reading — as part of the weekly X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity Comic series that launched on June 5, 2024. That digital series was itself conceived as a bridging narrative between X-Men #35 (the final issue of the Krakoan Age) and the From the Ashes print relaunch overseen by VP/Executive Editor Tom Brevoort, who had taken over the X-Men editorial line from Jordan White. The print one-shot, with a cover by Mike McKone, was released on June 25, 2025, arriving just ahead of the one-year anniversary of the From the Ashes relaunch's July 2024 launch.
