Marvel is teasing a second new series spinning out of that crossover, one called The Trial of Magneto.

Whatever happens during the Hellfire Gala, it would seem Magneto is due for a bad night.

The first new series to launch after the Hellfire Gala, this volume of X-Men will be written by Gerry Duggan (Marauders) and drawn by Pepe Larraz (House of X). That the plot catalyst for Marvel's upcoming relaunch of X-Men in July 2021. Cyclops believes the world still needs the X-Men, even if that means cutting ties with the Quiet Council of Krakoa and venturing back out into the human world. Among the major developments in 2020's X of Swords crossover, Cyclops and Jean Grey broke ranks in order to lead a team into Otherworld and save their comrades.
