Marvel is setting the stage for a new era of X-Men storytelling as Age of Revelation comes to a close. Cyclops returns to the present with visions of a future too grim to ignore, kicking off Shadows of Tomorrow, a sweeping initiative uniting flagship X-lines, revamped solo titles, and brand-new series from top-tier creators.
Announced at New York Comic Con, Shadows of Tomorrow brings back fan-favorite runs like Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, and Wolverine, while spotlighting rising stars with reimagined solo books for Storm, Magik, Cyclops, and Rogue. New ongoings like Generation X-23 and Wade Wilson: Deadpool expand the line even further, as does a still-unannounced series from Exceptional X-Men writer Eve L. Ewing.
The initiative follows a chilling look at a future ruled by the X-Virus. With the stakes higher than ever, the present-day mutants rally to prevent their darkest timeline from becoming reality. February brings the first wave of titles, including a milestone issue of X-Men #25 featuring Tony Daniel’s three-issue return to interior art.
