The future of every Marvel passes through the mutants, and if in the face of the mega cinematographic project, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was rescued, in the comics we will hallucinate again with the X-Men of the legendary author Jeph Loeb: officially, officially, officially, X-Men of Apocalypse It is the super-event mutant comiquero of 2025, starts in September and will continue to Apocalypse era. Little joke.
Who is Loeb and why resume that saga now? At the outset we are talking about the screenwriter of some of the best comics of the Modern Age, such as Batman: Long Halloween o Superman: The four stationsit is a dream that is fulfilled at a very special moment. But it is that in Marvel Comics they do not give stitch without thread and their first job after their return to the house of ideas will coincide with the celebration of the 30 years of The apocalypse era.
In other words: as an event, X-Men of Apocalypse Not only will it evoke one of the best X-Men stories that transcended Fox films and video games, with special emphasis to those Marvel and Capcom crossovers that were almost contemporary to their publication, but the project and the initiative return to Jeph Loeb that, after the escape of Marvel brains, he maintained the ribbon imagining a spectacular dystopia. And that leads us to the big issue: what plans are this new series?
Loeb rescues the mutants who survived the apocalypse
To put ourselves in a situation, and jumping details that you possibly consider interesting if you are going to start reading the original comics, all part of a dystopian future in which Magneto leads what remains of some X-Men that has resisted the desperate the regime of the Apocalypse mutant.
Thus, the premise of X-Men of Apocalypse It is that, although the main timeline of the continuity we all know was saved from their tragic destination, the mutants of that future continue to live their own nightmare. Even with defeated apocalypse.
Based on Simone Di Meo’s pencils, Jeph Loeb has developed an editorial plan that consists of a series divided into six parts, advancing the arrival of the mutants of that imagined dystopia 30 years ago to the main universe of Marvel comics, adding new characters and, incidentally, making it clear that there will be a conflict with the X-Men of the ongoing continuity that we all know.
The protagonists of this new story will give a lot of play: Gambito, Saber, Blink, Forge and Morf They will lead this return of a legendary stage and, from here it is time to give the key dates for editorial plans.

However, and beyond the six main parts of X-Men of Apocalypsein Marvel they will not leave loose ends and practically at the beginning of this summer a comic will be launched that will not only make bridge, but will help sow the land. So that:
