MARVEL Teases DEATH OF X

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.

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? Continue reading MARVEL Teases DEATH OF X
