The X-Men’s mutant school has had many names. Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. Xavier’s Institute for Higher Learning. Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. Now it has a new name: Graymalkin Prison. Marvel’s post-Krakoan era of X-Men comics have seen the former students of Professor Charles Xavier regroup into two teams: Cyclops’ X-Men and Rogue’s Uncanny X-Men.
Xavier, meanwhile, is incarcerated as Inmate X — a prisoner of the mutant penitentiary ran by Warden Corina Ellis, who has tasked Xavier’s former lover, Sarah Gaunt, with supplying her prison with young mutants like the Outliers.
Xavier’s renamed X-Mansion is at the center of Raid on Graymalkin, a four-part crossover between Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman’s X-Men and Gail Simone and David Marquez’s Uncanny X-Men. Cyclops’ X-Men, operating out of a former Sentinel factory in Alaska, and Rogue’s Uncanny X-Men, based out of Haven House in the bayou of Louisiana, will return to New York for a mutant civil war that will once again leave the X-Men as fugitives from O*N*E* (the Office of National Emergency).

The crossover will span issues of X-Men #8-9 and Uncanny X-Men #7-8, with the fallout taking place in X-Men #10 in January before a new arc begins in Uncanny X-Men #9 that pits the mutants against the Bloodhounds: a pack of dog-like, mutant-hunting Sentinels.
