The X-Men and Fantastic Four join Forces to Stop the X-Virus from Mutating Mankind in DNX!

Posted on by Leave a comment

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.

THE X-VIRUS UNLEASHED!

The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another’s throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: The X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major population area!

DNX #1 True Believers Blind Bags will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering. The main cover and regular open-to-order variant covers cannot be found in True Believers Blind Bags. See below for a list of the exclusive blind bag variant covers. In addition to those listed, fans can once again look forward to super rare exclusive covers by surprise contributors, including hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind sketch covers.

This May, Marvel’s Stormbreakers shatter the multiverse in new What If…? Variant Covers! The latest monthly cover collection from Marvel’s elite artists celebrates 50 years of What If…? storytelling with imaginative new twists on your favorite heroes. From dramatic transformations to outrageous power swaps, these eight pieces reflect the endless creativity and spectacular talent of the current class of Marvel’s Stormbreakers!

The daring questions asked include:

  • What if… Captain Marvel was a Skrull?
  • What if… Daredevil’s accident gave him the Hulk’s powers?
  • What if… Iron Man’s Extremis was a symbiote?
  • What if… Punisher had Magik’s Eldritch Armor?
  • What if… Rogue became the Sorcerer Supreme?
  • What if… Wolverine controlled his adamantium like Colossus?
  • What if… the X-Men were heralds of Galactus?
  • What if… the Spider-Man’s greatest foes, the Sinister Six, were his greatest allies?

The current class of Marvel’s Stormbreakers include Alessandro Cappuccio, Netho Diaz, Simone Di Meo, Juan Frigeri, Gurihiru, Jonas Scharf, Geoff Shaw, and Luciano Vecchio. Chosen for their remarkable art, notable achievements, and boundless imagination when bringing the Marvel mythos to the page, these creators represent the future of comic book artistry and embody the raw talent to shatter the limits of visual storytelling!

Also part of the 50th anniversary celebration are a series of all-new What If…? one-shots! Announced last month, the new one-shots shake the foundations of every corner of the Marvel mythos with startling shifts to iconic storylines, kicking off in June with What If…? Uncanny X-Men #1, where Gerry Duggan and Jan Bazaldua ask “What if… Cyclops had stayed with Madelyne Pryor?” and What If…? Thor #1, where Torunn Grønbekk and Sergio Dávila ask “What if… Thor got Spider-Man’s symbiote suit?”

It’s Hero vs. Hero in Civil War Celebration Variant Covers

It’s been 20 years since Marvel Comics pit their most legendary super heroes against each other and asked the question “Whose Side Are You On?” in Civil War! This May, Marvel honors the milestone anniversary of the groundbreaking event with Civil War: Unmasked, a recently announced limited series by Christos Gage and Edgar Salazar revealing all-new stories set during the Civil War era, and new Civil War Celebration Variant Covers.

Drawn by today’s top artists, the new cover collection spotlights epic matchups between both sides of the conflict that tore the super hero community apart! The showdowns depicted include memorable battles from the event like Captain America vs. Spider-Man and Hercules vs. the infamous clone of Thor as well as never-before-seen throwdowns like Storm vs. Ms. Marvel and Cyclops vs. Wonder Man. The Civil War Celebration Variant Covers will grace some of Marvel’s hottest titles and be showcased using the now-iconic Civil War trade dress.

The original Civil War redefined event storytelling and unleashed shockwaves across the Marvel Universe that are still felt today.
