Mutants Battle Mutants in the Warzones! of X-Tinction Agenda #1

This June, return to the fight against the corrupt, mutant-exploiting government as a classic X-Crossover is reborn in the Warzones! in X-Tinction Agenda #1! Writer Marc Guggenheim and artist Carmine Di Giandomenico return to the shores of Genosha and to one of the most beloved X-Men crossovers of all time!

It has been ten years since the fall of Cameron Hodge and his fascist regime. Ten years that Havok and Wolfsbane have toiled and labored to rebuild Genosha into the proud mutant homeland it once was. But a decade removed from Hodge and his iron rule, their work may all be for naught. A plague has spread across the nation, infecting mutants and threatening their race with extinction. With all of Genosha quarantined and all but abandoned by the rest of the world, including the X-Men, old friends may become new enemies!

In an interview with Marvel.com, Guggenheim said:

A virus is decimating the mutant and mutate population. The X-Men have a cure in the form of Triage, but won’t violate the quarantine that Genosha is under, not wanting to risk extinction should the virus spread. Havok and Wolfsbane take it upon themselves to go and get Triage and bring him back to Genosha, by force if necessary.

Ask yourself – what lengths would you go to save your people? Havok and Wolfsbane will stop at nothing to save the people of Genosha – but have they doomed Earth in the process? Find out as the landmark X-Crossover of the 90’s makes it to Battleworld!

Korvac Saga #1 Pits Guardians of the Galaxy Vs. Avengers in the Warzones!

This June, one of the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy’s classic villains returns to the forefront in Korvac Saga #1 – a brand-new Secret Wars series! Fan-favorite writer Dan Abnett and newcomer Otto Schmidt take you inside the mind of one of the Avengers deadliest, and most misunderstood foes.

In the Forest Hills domain, Lord Michael Korvac governs over all, ruling with an iron fist. But not all is as it seems in his corner of Battleworld. Tensions run high with neighboring lord Simon Williams and his squad of Avengers. Full-scale war is all but assured. Korvac and his royal guard – the Guardians of the Galaxy – stand at the brink of destruction from within and without.

Escalating border conflicts with rival lords and chaotic threats from beyond the Shield threaten all they hold dear. Worst of all, a dark madness is spreading through the population, twisting and manipulating residents of Forest Hills into monsters.

Now, the classic Guardians of the Galaxy – Major Victory, Starhawk, Charlie-27, Yondu, Nikki and young Geena Drake must track down the source of this evil before it corrupts Forest Hills and all of Battleworld! Deadly threats lurk at every turn, both internal and external as their kingdom stands at the precipice. Even if they stem the coming darkness, will they be strong enough to repel Wonder Man and his Avengers? The answers lie within True Believer!
