Fallen Angels

In 2020, Marvel launched this six-issue limited series as a dark, self-contained corner of the Dawn of X era, written by Bryan Hill with moody art from Szymon Kudranski and covers by Ashley Witter and David Nakayama. It follows a small, fractured team of mutants—Nathan Summers (Cable), X-23 (Laura Kinney), and Psylocke (Kwannon)—as they navigate a strange, isolated world beyond Krakoa, wrestling with their own violent pasts and the consequences of their powers. A taut, character-driven thriller, the series matters for its focused exploration of these three iconic figures away from the larger X-Men stage, offering a hauntingly intimate take on mutant identity and redemption.
