No Surrender was Marvel's 2018 weekly Avengers event — a 16-part storyline published weekly across four months with rotating creative teams coordinating to tell a single continuous story. The Grandmaster and the Challenger wager on an Avengers-related game using Earth as the board and the Avengers as unwitting pieces, with the team simultaneously dealing with an escalating global crisis while their members fall one by one. No Road Home followed as a direct sequel, a nine-issue weekly series sending the Avengers into a mythological realm to recover a cosmic object stolen from Nyx, goddess of night.

X-Men: Age of Krakoa – Dawn of X Omnibus Vol. 1 begins the first wave after House of X and Powers of X, when mutantkind stops asking for a seat at the table and builds its own. The book captures the excitement and unease of a new nation forming almost overnight. The edition adds value by keeping the mutant context together: team politics, continuity pressure and character fallout have room to build instead of being reduced to isolated plot points.

X-Men: Age of Krakoa by Kieron Gillen Omnibus leans into the politics, secrets and moral compromises of mutant power. Gillen is especially strong when Krakoa looks successful from the outside but rotten with difficult choices underneath, turning resurrection and governance into dramatic pressure. The edition adds value by keeping the mutant context together: team politics, continuity pressure and character fallout have room to build instead of being reduced to isolated plot points.

X-Men by Gerry Duggan Omnibus gives the Krakoa era a public-facing superhero team again, with mutants acting as champions in a world that still fears what they represent. Pepe Larraz and the art team bring polish and scale, while the stories balance spectacle with the politics of being seen. The edition adds value by keeping the mutant context together: team politics, continuity pressure and character fallout have room to build instead of being reduced to isolated plot points.
