When life expansion for one race means extinction for another – there can only be one answer: War.
Inhumans vs. X-Men erupts this comic book Wednesday. Have you chosen a side? Did the events of Death of X change your opinion?
Beast make a startling discovery about the Terrigen Mists that are killing mutants. After the shocking twists of Death of X, Emma Frost reached out to Storm with her plan to save the race. Can Emma be trusted? How will Medusa respond?
IvX is a six-part series that’s been building for more than a year. Writers Jeff Lemire (Extraordinary X-Men) and Charles Soule (Uncanny Inhumans) talked about the scope and impact of this event.
“X-Men stories have always been very allegorical and very symbolic for real world events. I think there is a permeating sense of fear and mistrust that is driving a lot of world events at the moment, and a lot of hatred and violence. So it’s not hard to see the mutant/Inhuman conflict as a metaphor for much of what’s going on around us.” Lemire told Marvel.com.
“Pick any situation in the world where both sides have completely understandable and justified points of view that are nevertheless in direct conflict with one another, in a way that seems like it will never be resolved. Unfortunately, you can probably think of about 10 of those right off the top of your head; I know I can. While we won’t be using any one particular situation in the world as a template here, the shape of the conflict, and what we want to say about these types of intractable disagreements, should be familiar [and] interesting to many readers.” added Soule.
Which side is right? Whose side are you on?
IvX #1 by Lemire, Soule and artist Leinil Yu arrives this Wednesday.
