Nightcrawler takes the spotlight as Si Spurrier explores mutantkind’s Krakoan age!
On Krakoa, mutantkind has built a new Eden — but there are serpents in the garden. Snared by questions of death, law and love, only Nightcrawler can fight for the soul of Krakoa. Only he — and the curious crew he assembles — can help mutants defeat their inner darkness and find the Way of X! With Pixie on point, Juggernaut as a one-man riot squad and a cadre of fan favorites on call, Professor X’s son, Legion, hosts this unique team in the psychedelic mindspace called the Altar. But will David Haller succumb to his madness once again? Who is the Skinjacker possessing innocent mutants? Will Arakkii badass Weaponless Zsen be friend or foe? And why is Kurt Wagner growing horns? That won’t be the most surprising transformation coming for Nightcrawler — in this world or the one reshaped by Sinister! Plus: Kurt reunites with Mystique, as his definitive origin is revealed at last!

Simon Spurrier is a rising talent in the U.S. comics world, but his work is well-known in his native England. He is a regular contributor to the venerable sci-fi comics anthology 2000 AD. On this side of the pond, Spurrier wrote Silver Surfer: In Thy Name and Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch for Marvel before fully unleashing his idiosyncratic voice through the multiple-personality mutant Legion in the pages of X-Men: Legacy. Spurrier’s recent titles include X-Force and the Secret Wars tie-in Marvel Zombies.
Bob Quinn is quickly earning a reputation at Marvel, where his growing list of credits includes Fantastic Four, Ms. Marvel, Uncanny X-Men, Champions and Avengers Halloween Special. His rising profile has seen him illustrate Way of X and Knights of X.
Jan Bazaldua brought her hyperkinetic art style to Spider-Man for a star-making run with writer Brian Michael Bendis as the young Miles Morales took on the all-new Sinister Six. She burnished her reputation on titles including Mr. and Mrs. X and Loki, and her fast-growing list of Marvel credits now includes X-Force, Winter Guard and a trip to the far-off galaxy of Star Wars.
