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?

When Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo end their epic Dark Knight run with Batman #51 next month they leave fans with amazing parting gifts in form of cool new characters in Gotham City.

Harper Row aka Bluebird, Julia Pennyworth, Duke Thomas are part of the new generation of allies in the Batman family introduced in The New 52.

As a boy, Duke helped Bruce Wayne in his Zero Year as a costumed crime fighter under Riddler’s reign. The breakout star led the We Are Robin title and movement. Will Duke have a new code-name and role in the DC Comics Rebirth?

We speculated more than a year ago, a member of new cast will become the next Robin. and debate who could become Bruce’s sidekick in our Robin Roundups.

As we wait for Snyder and Capullo’s final issue and Rebirth details, it looks like we may have a new Robin. Continue reading BATMAN Getting A New ROBIN?
