Marvel Comics has been working things to bring the X-Men and the Inhumans into conflict in a big way for a bit now and that’s getting closer with the arrival on October 5th, 2016 of Death of X. The four-part miniseries comes from creators Jeff Lemire (Extraordinary X-Men) and Charles Soule (Uncanny Inhumans) with artist Aaron Kuder (Action Comics) that’s set to answer some questions and change the direction of things. Ahead of that, Marvel has now put out a look at the finalized cover, a couple of preview pages, and the variants for it – including a great wraparound piece.
Plot concept: As the Terrigen Mists roll across the Earth, it’s transformative properties are birthing new Inhumans across the Marvel Universe. But while the mists bring life to the Inhumans, they spell only doom for the X-Men, leaving dead or sickly mutants in their wake. As the Inhumans travel to Japan where the Terrigen Cloud has created a shocking new Inhuman, the X-Men travel to Muir Island where the cloud has caused something truly terrible. For the sake of his people, Cyclops must take action or face extinction. But how?
As war looms on the horizon, be there for the shocking beginning to the conflict. The fuse is lit, how long before this powder keg explodes?
