X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity Comic scribe Alex Paknadel recently discussed the new series, teasing major plot points as the story progresses. In the Marvel Unlimited app exclusive X-Men series, new teams assemble to tackle emerging global threats to mutant-kind in the wake of the war against Orchis during the Fall of X.

In a chat with AIPT, Paknadel responded to a fan question regarding major plot points taking place in X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity Comic as opposed to the series containing more slice-of-life stories. “You can indeed expect major plot points to drop in this series. That said, I’ll be writing some slice-of-life stories too because I honestly believe that some of the most affecting and effective Marvel stories ever made have been drama-forward,” he said. ” Iron Man #182 is my favorite Marvel comic of all time, and it’s basically an entire issue of Tony Stark at his lowest point, trudging through the snow looking for redemption or annihilation.”

The X-Men writer continued, “There will be a couple of stories in this run that try to replicate that visceral emotional punch without necessarily leaning into cosmic stakes. Overall, you can expect major, major character points in terms of why certain characters wound up where across the line as a whole. That deep, character-focused connective tissue stuff is ambrosia for me, so I’m having a blast.”

X-Men editor Tom Brevoort revealed that Madelyne Pryor will appear in the series in a recent edition of his newsletter. Paknadel teased the importance of a fan-favorite character in X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity Comic. “I can’t say too much, but I think I’m okay to say that the story with Madelyne will lead directly into one of the core X-titles and is, therefore, not to be missed,” he said.
