Beast Confronts his Dark destiny, Magneto Holds the Key to the X-Virus, as the stage is set for DNX!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Marvel recently announced DNX, an all-new event series by Jed MacKay and Federico Vicentini kicking off in September. The storyline sees the X-Men and the Fantastic Four unite against 3K in a race to stop the supervillain group from unleashing a virus that forcibly—and horribly—transforms humans into mutants! Built up since the start of MacKay’s run, DNX will be preceded by two pivotal lead-in chapters this August, X-Men #35 and #36, each packed with shocking developments that set the stage for the highly anticipated event.

The X-Men have met their match in 3K, a cabal of mutant supervillains brought together by a common goal: MAKE MORE MUTANTS. Their plan involves unleashing the X-Virus on the world, an event that triggered one of the darkest timelines imaginable in Age of Revelation. Cyclops and the 3K’s Chairman, A.K.A. founding X-Man Beast, both witnessed the horror of that future and returned home with renewed missions: the X-Men to prevent it, 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, 3K prepares to unleash the X-Virus in a major population center. X-Men #35 and #36 by MacKay and artists Tony S. Daniel and Netho Diaz lead directly into the saga as the X-Men’s current Beast—a younger Hank McCoy restored to a more innocent time in his life—grapples with the dark reflection he sees in the Chairman, while 3K targets Magneto, whose mysterious illness is revealed to be directly tied to the X-Virus.

In X-Men #35, Hank McCoy, the bouncing blue Beast, is haunted by a ghost—not of his past, but of his future…and his present. The Chairman of 3K, an older, amoral version of himself, represents one of the greatest threats the X-Men have faced since the fall of Krakoa, and Beast must struggle with his own terrible potential.

In X-MEN #36, 3K works toward a viable build of the X-Virus, brought back from the Age of Revelation. Until now they have been frustrated—but when the Chairman realizes that the missing piece of the puzzle lies within Magneto, 3K moves on the X-Men’s home base in Alaska.

Check out the main covers for X-Men #35 and #36 by Tony S. Daniel and Netho Diaz, along with a variant cover by Rod Reis. Stay tuned for news about DNX in the weeks ahead, including additional True Believers Blind Bag variant cover reveals!

EVOLUTION IS CONTAGIOUS! Announced earlier this month, DNX, a five-issue event series from Jed MacKay and Federico Vicentini, launches this September. MacKay’s acclaimed X-Men run on X-Men, including the recent Age of Revelation crossover, has led to this monumental saga that sees the X-Men and Fantastic Four join forces to prevent the Chairman, the misguided original Hank McCoy, from unleashing a virus that forcibly—and horribly—transforms humanity into mutants! Adding even more excitement to this latest mutant milestone, DNX #1 will be the next Marvel Comics launch available in True Believers Blind Bags, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors. Today, fans can check out all-new variant covers for DNX #1, both regular open-to-order covers and blind bag exclusives.

EVOLUTION IS CONTAGIOUS! This September, the X-Men and Fantastic Four unite against a bombshell of a threat that even their combined intelligence and strength can’t overcome in DNX, a new five-issue comic book event series from writer Jed MacKay and artist Federico Vicentini. The latest in the two legendary super team’s history of iconic team-ups, DNX kicks off when the Chairman, the misguided original Hank McCoy, A.K.A. founding X-Man Beast, and his Machiavellian group of supervillains known as 3K prepare to unleash a virus that will forcibly—and horribly—transform humanity into mutants! This long-seeded plan, built up since the very beginning of MacKay’s hit run, hits the Marvel Universe with seismic repercussions that not only impact MacKay’s continuing work on the franchise, but upset the very balance between mutantkind and humanity as we know it!

Adding to the excitement of this new mutant milestone, DNX #1 will be the latest Marvel Comics launch available in True Believers Blind Bags, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors.
