Marvel revealed an ominous teaser via Twitter that sends a chill into the hearts of X-Fans:
The “Death of X” coming Fall 2016.
No official word on if this is an event, new book or story arc featuring what we assume is the X-Men.
Things are already bleak for the mutants since the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now began following Secret Wars:
M-Pox is spreading as the Terrigen Mists that create new Inhumans are killing and sterilizing mutants. No new mutants are being born and others are dying after exposure to the Mists.
Cyclops died (off-screen) in an attack on the Inhumans. Storm took the school to Limbo to create X-Haven to protect mutants from the mists in Extraordinary X-Men. Could Death of X reveal what happened to Cyclops and other missing mutants like Emma Frost in the 8 months after Secret Wars and the relaunch?
A new Inhuman with the power to predict the future will lead to Civil War II. Iron Man and Captain Marvel will lead two rival camps of heroes, one who wants to protect the future and one who wants to use this power to change the future.
A Civil War II X-Men tie-in book will see X-Men vs X-Men when a mutant leader makes a move to seize this new Inhuman in the escalating conflict between mutants and Inhumans.
Other factors to consider:
Dead No More started out as a teaser campaign that will be a Spider-Man storyline.
Apocalypse Wars just started in the three X-books. This is “thematic” crossover in Extraordinary, All-New and Uncanny X-Men titles.
Old Man Logan is on a mission to kill. The Wolverine from the future is in the present killing a list of heroes and villains to prevent the horrific timeline from happening.
Let the speculation begin.
