Brian Michael Bendis has left Uncanny X-Men and writing Invincible Iron Man #1 but he’s not finished with the mutants yet.

The first issue of the Armored Avenger’s new ongoing was packed with revelations of what’s to come in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now.

Marvel already revealed the Terrigenesis that’s creating Inhumans is destroying mutants. The Children of the Atom are on the fast road to extinction again.

Back when Bendis was writing New Avengers, his stories had a huge impact on the X-books (the House of M “No More Mutants” Decimation) and Norman Osborn’s Dark Reign led to the mutants leaving the mainland United States and establishing Utopia.
