An alternate world where Rick Remender led 2019’s X-Men relaunch
What If… the Krakoan Era of X-Men Books Never Existed?
Chris Arrant at Popverse highlights some inside-the-industry info that Marvel Comics tried to get Rick Remender to come back to X-Men. I did find this nugget of news interesting.
In 2019, while Marvel was also in prolonged negotiations with Jonathan Hickman to take over the X-Men line in the aforementioned 'The Krakoan Age,' Remender was also courted to return to Marvel after a multi-year hiatus. Marvel ultimately accelerated negotiations with Hickman, getting him onboard to relaunch the X-Men line.
Imagine that, somewhere across our actual multiverse, there’s a world where the Krakoan era of X-Men comics never happened. I wonder what that world’s X-Men are doing now.
