ResurrXion
"ResurrXion" was a 2017 relaunch by the American publisher Marvel Comics of various comic book series related to the Inhumans and the X-Men franchises. This was intended to establish a new status quo for both franchises after the events in the 2016 " Inhumans vs X-Men" storyline, which concluded a number of then-ongoing storylines that followed the 2015 " Secret Wars" storyline. One notable effect of the relaunch is that it reaffirmed the importance of the X-Men characters and franchise, which some critics felt had grown isolated and diminished in prestige in light of the success of the Avengers-centered films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a status that some felt was attributed to 20th Century Fox's then-ownership of the feature film rights for the X-Men, before Disney bought the studio in March 2019. Publication history "ResurrXion" was initially announced in September 2016 before the storylines " Death of X" and " Inhumans vs X-Men" began and it was stated that it would ...
