In 2023, Marvel’s X-Men will have to answer for the Sins of Sinister in a new crossover featuring Storm, Nightcrawler, and more, announced at New York Comic Con 2022.
The X-Men’s future is about to get way darker, a whole lot weirder, and absolutely fabulous.
The big news out of Marvel Comics’ Next Big Thing panel at New York Comic Con 2022 is the X-Men crossover event Sins of Sinister. Launching in January with a Sins of Sinister one-shot helmed by writer Kieron Gillen, the story will find the whole X-Men line subbed out for a twisted alternate universe, where the future of mutants has been rewritten in the image of Krakoa’s most scheming and least trustworthy evil geneticist, Mister Sinister.
Gillen has been building up Sinister’s plans in his flagship Immortal X-Men title, and in the new crossover the X-Men line’s ongoing books will be swapped for mirror image Sinister equivalents. X-Men: Red will become Storm & the Brotherhood of Mutants, the Nightcrawler-led Legion of X will become Nightcrawlers (about a team made entirely of evil Nightcrawlers, naturally), and the aforementioned Immortal X-Men becomes Immoral X-Men, a pun so good there is a non-zero chance it’s the reason Gillen and company came up with this idea in the first place.
