Marvel’s big event is cosmic level but begins with a pair of star-crossed lovers.
Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: The Black Vortex was announced at New York Comic Con. After the bookend issue the story goes through Guardians of the Galaxy, All-New X-Men, Cyclops, Captain Marvel and Nova.
Peter Quill and Kitty Pryde first met in The Trial of Jean Grey. As writer Sam Humphries explains they are the focus of the story:
“Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde, they bring the two teams together, so they sit directly in the center of the event. Their blooming relationship will face serious tests in the shadow of the Black Vortex. But also look out for major moments for Captain Marvel, Nova, Storm, Beast, Magik, the original five X-Men—plus characters who must remain secrets for now,”Humphries told Marvel.com.
An ancient artifact attracts several power-hungry villains.
“Mister Knife and Thane sit on different ends of the power spectrum of the Marvel Universe. But they’re both motivated by powerful, dark desires, and neither of them will let anyone stand in their way—including each other. You’ll see their relationship kindle in The Legendary Star-Lord #8.”
The Black Vortex event begins in February 2015.
