SCARLET WITCH Replaces DOCTOR STRANGE

The redemption of Scarlet Witch leads to revenge?

X-MEN EXODUS?

Are the X-Men about to have an exodus?

Are the Jean Grey School and Xavier School closing their doors?

In the just announced November previews, Avengers & X-Men: AXIS #4 see the X-Men “join their greatest foe” and in #5 “claim a new home.”

This is the latest clue that could be pointing to the mutants starting over in a new base.

AXIS is the inversion of many Marvel heroes so the tease above could mean the mutants are siding with Apocalypse or aligning with Magneto and finding a new home among old enemies. Continue reading X-MEN EXODUS?
