X-Men #33

(W) Jed MacKay (A) Tony S. Daniel

3K’s Counter-Attack Stuns the X-Men and Fantastic Four seek to Save Magneto’s Life in DNX this October

This October, things go from bad to worse for the X-Men and the Fantastic Four in their battle against the villainous group 3K! While Cyclops’ team engages 3K above the skies of Philadelphia to prevent the release of the X-Virus and the emergence of a dark future, the Fantastic Four have mysteriously forgotten their own identities (and how their powers work!) while on their own quest to save the master of magnetism, Magneto. As if that’s not enough trouble, the X-Men’s base in Alaska comes under attack with John Greycrow left alone to defend it and Psylocke stalks a mysterious monster on a dangerous solo mission that promises to reveal dark secrets. It’s all taking place across new issues of DNX, Fantastic Four, and X-Men this October.

In DNX #3, 3K’s counterstroke has shocked the X-Men and Philadelphia is no less in the shadow of disaster as the Chairman’s spoilsport plan comes into effect! The X-Men must look to the least of their number while the Fantastic Four fight against time to deliver the data that can save the day. From writer Jed Mackay, art by Federico Vicentini, and cover by Kaare Andrews, it arrives October 14.

In X-Men #39, enemies put their sights on the X-Men’s home base — the Factory, in Alaska. But the Factory is not undefended…and John Greycrow is an army unto himself! From writer Jed Mackay, art by Netho Diaz, and cover by Tony S. Daniel, it arrives October 14.

In X-Men #40, alone on what could be a flying tomb, Psylocke stalks a mysterious monster on a solo mission for answers. But the answers she finds may raise only further questions. From writer Jed Mackay and art and cover by Tony S. Daniel, it arrives October 28.

In Fantastic Four #18, The Fantastic Four are lost, with no memory of who they are or why they’re there — but now they know they need to find out, fast —because Magneto’s life hangs in the balance. But without identities — or a clear understanding of their powers — the FF are as much a danger to themselves as they are their opponents. from writer Ryan North, art by Vincenzo Carratù, and cover by Giuseppi Camuncoli, it arrives October 28.
