MEMORIES OF KRYPTON! After their run-in with the Lantern Corps, Kara has taken Kal back to Krypton… but the real Krypton no longer exists. This one is of her own making. A shimmering city of blue constructs that shelters them from the pain of their loss. Kara could call it home and keep her cousin safe… but she’d be living a lie. Fortunately, the arrival of an interdimensional imp will help change her mind.

KARA AND KAL AGAINST THE LOBO GANG! Kara and Kal have lost their ship and, light-years from their destination of Earth, are now forced to seek travel from a busy spaceport. Conviction alone won’t be enough to keep Kara and her baby cousin safe from the vagabonds and swindlers of the planet — and Czarnian bounty hunters put the duo right in their crosshairs. Fortunately for them, there’s a full-spectrum squad of Green Lanterns nearby.

ETHAN PARKER, GRIFFIN SHERIDAN, AND ROD REIS TAKE SUPERGIRL ON A NEW ELSEWORLDS JOURNEY! Kara Zor-El lives a life of small problems. How are you supposed to hold a floppy little baby like her new cousin Kal? Who should she ask to the spring formal? And when will her father and her uncle Jor-El stop squabbling? But the planet Krypton has big problems… like the militaristic dictator Zod ruthlessly crushing dissent and threatening to unleash the planet’s most dangerous weapons on the opposition. And when things boil over and Krypton begins to burn, Kara and her infant cousin will find themselves trapped together in a prototype rocket, struggling to survive in a hostile universe that doesn’t care if they live or die… and which might prefer the latter!

Breakout writers Ethan Parker and Griffin Sheridan (Eisner Award nominee Kill Your Darlings) join visionary artist Rod Reis (New Mutants) to tell the story of teenage Kara and infant Kal, sent on their journey through the stars together, not apart… that is, as long as Kara can keep him alive!

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

Posted on by

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!
