Ahead of its start on September 29th, Marvel Comics has released a trailer for the new four-part X-Men series Inferno. Marvel is calling it the “climactic finale” of Hickman’s era of X-Men which began in 2019. For more on Jonathan Hickman and his final X-Men series, read our exclusive interview.
“I’m very excited that we’re finally getting to share with everyone the follow-up to House of X/Powers of X,” Hickman said in a statement. “The story is 160 pages over four issues drawn exquisitely by Valerio Schiti, R.B. Silva and Stefano Caselli. I cannot wait for people to read it.”
So what’s Inferno about?
A high-stakes mutant drama, INFERNO will provide the startling payoff to long-running plotlines including Mystique’s quest to be reunited with Destiny, startling shakeups to the Quiet Council, and the looming threat of Nimrod. Alliances will be broken, secrets will be revealed, and the once-bright future of mutantkind will be endangered like never before. Fans can get their first look at this revelatory saga in the all-new INFERNO trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork.
In the trailer, which you can view below, Destiny is heavily featured. It also seems to allude to Nimrod being the main big-bad in the four-part series.
