I love the work both Gillen and Spurrier did on Krakoa's X-men... I really hope the next era don't let us down with subpar talent on the writing team.
I was looking at the 2024 line-up and originally I figured the Krakoan era would end in June, but now I'm not so sure. From the info released so far the only X-books being released in June are:
X-Men: Forever #4
Ms. Marvel #4
It doesn't seem likely that only two books will release that month but by then Fall, Rise, RoM, Dead X-Men, and Cable will have finished. Do we think there's more to come or June will just be a light month before the Brevoort era begins?

June is still a long ways away. We only have definitive solicits for March 2023. It may mean they aren't releasing any more solicits and info (might be spoilers?) until later when the time is appropriately closer to the relaunch.

I'm expecting a bunch of "Omega" issues but it would also make sense to keep June a tad lighter if you're going to come out with a number of new (presumably) ongoing books in July. July is also when the very X-Men-centric Deadpool/Wolverine movie is coming out so I would expect Marvel to ride on the hype of that with the new Brevoort era.
Last but not least, if I'm not mistaken, (Legacy) Uncanny #700 should hit in June - I can see that being an overpriced, oversized issue with multiple creators, possibly bridging the Krakoan era with what comes next.
Very true. If there's perhaps to be a short transition period after Fall/Rise they wouldn't want to spoil how it ends.
Good point about Deadpool/Wolverine! I also agree about some possible "Omega" issues and Gillen dropped that hint that he may have something else in the works after X-Men: Forever. These could be transition books with #700 being the issue that passes the baton as you said. I like it.

"Omega" issues is just a phrase, it doesn't actually have to be called Omega or have a corresponding "Alpha". For example, Before the Fall - Sons of X was Legion of X's Omega issue, The Onslaught Revelation was Way of X's, Dominion was Sins of Sinister's.
I think we likely do have other issues in June, but maybe not a ton. It's possible the new era will launch late June, but I think it's more likely we'll have a smaller month with a little more content than we know about currently with the new era in July. We could also get some water-treading content like flashback minis, a Blood Hunt tie-in, etc. Brevoort seems to be editing Blood Hunt based on what he's said so I feel like X-Men won't be in full swing till that wraps.
thank god we are done with spurrier on the x-books find me one x-book hes done besides the first few issues of x-men legacy with legion he did that actually sold any copies. Also thank god no more giilen as well ive liked his work but his x-men work has not been good , sinister was a great villain but after all this nonsense he has to be taken off the board for im gonna say like at least five years. I also love duggan and pretty much everything hes done but this . batch of uncanny avenergs is just flat and bad . ALso i know EWing is like god on boards but this 18 issue run of x-men red s just plain awful. REally wish he got a run with an a list x-men team hopefully sometime later in the future. I really really cant wait for some new bl0od on the x-books
blood hunt is going to be two issues a month to start but might not be like that the whole way thorugh. Also lots and lots of tie ins specials and limited series including a pretty cool x-men one i just recently heard about. We might be getting some details this week on the main book
