This Spring, Marvel Comics kicks off a new era of storytelling with "Destiny of X," but writer Si Spurrier and artist Jan Bazaldua will look to answer one big question in the pages of Legion of X: Krakoa has its laws...but does it have justice? A new team of mutants will assemble to bring peace, love, and justice to Krakoa, all while tackling some of the most dangerous internal threats Krakoa's faced to date.
To remain a mutant sanctuary, Krakoa must safeguard itself against those who would damage its peace or traumatize its people. The lost must be found, and the wicked must face redemption - or retribution. It’s up to the ever-soulful swashbuckler Nightcrawler to keep the spark alive and the omega-level mutant Legion to host a unique team in the psychedelic mindspace called the Altar.
With a host of X-Favorites on the beat including magical young X-Man Pixie, one-man riot squad Juggernaut, the recently-returned and ever-mysterious Blindfold, the X-Men’s resident super genius Dr. Nemesis, and more, the Legion of X will do anything to protect mutants’ right to pursue happiness and hope. The team will come out of the gate with some of the most intense missions Krakoa has faced to date including a hunt for a missing Arakkii god, a skinjacker possessing innocent mutants, and more.
"For the first time, the Marvel Universe has this densely packed, beautiful (and beautifully volatile) population of superhumans, out in the open, all in one place," Spurrier says. "It needs peacekeepers, sure...but it’s a mistake to think of them as simply cops. You don’t get far in Krakoa if the limit of your imagination is beating people up or reaching for a gun."
"Mutant civilization needs those who think differently. That’s where Nightcrawler, Legion, Pixie and Juggernaut come in - along with a rotating cast of your favorite mutants and non-mutants," he continues. "And a couple of new faces you're going to want to watch very, very closely."
Legion of X #1 arrives in comic book stores on April 20.
