After months of teases, Sins of Sinister, an all-new X-Men event, was just announced at the "Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel" at New York Comic Con.

The crossover begins in January's Sins of Sinister #1, a giant-sized one-shot by Immortal X-Men creative team, writer Kieron Gillen and artist Lucas Werneck. After that, it's said we'll bear witness as the current Krakoan era crumbles and enters a new Marvel Comics age brought about by Sinister’s corrupt machinations.

Immortal X-Men, X-Men Red, and Legion of X will be transformed into three limited series: Immoral X-Men, Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants, and Nightcrawlers

Series writers Kieron Gillen, Al Ewing, and Si Spurrier will pen their respective new titles, joined by artists Paco Medina, Patch Zircher, and Alessandro Vitti. Tackling three separate time periods, each superstar artist will draw an issue of all three titles as consecutive issues propel the Marvel Universe further and further into a dark future, dramatically escalating the stakes with each startling time jump.

10 Years...100 Years...1000 Years. The Powers of Essex will seek to stretch beyond the limits of time and space! All three writers will then continue their current story plans after the X-Universe-shattering finale one-shot, Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1.

This universe-melting X-event will introduce a horrifying timeline that makes the Age of Apocalypse look like the X-Men Swimsuit Special as Mister Sinister’s repulsive plans come to fruition. Currently playing a dangerous game with the very timestream of the Marvel Universe in the pages of Immortal X-Men, Sinister’s uncontrollable lust for domination will finally be satisfied, but at what cost?

It's the end of the world as we know it, but at least Sinister feels fine. For now. Can that last? Especially when we discover that he really is his own worst enemy. Infamous for his long-term meticulous manipulating, Mister Sinister’s scheming will yield unpredictable results in an overarching saga that pays off plot threads that have been haunting fans since Jonathan Hickman’s House of X and Powers of X.

Sinister has been planning all this since the beginning...and is going to have to see through to the bitter end.             

Check out some Sins of Sinister artwork below by Leinil Francis Yu along with a full event checklist. Marvel Comics will no doubt reveal more between now and January, so stay tuned for details as we have them.

Those are some great covers. Really like the Storm one.

Also, I hope we'll finally get to see Mr. Sinister on the big screen in the next MCU Saga. Seems like a good endgame villain to wrap things up with.

Sinister was never about domination… he was about knowledge, arrogance, hubris, pushing boundaries, and maybe decadence.

This feels a little like lazy characterization. So many characters out there are about taking over the world, but Sinister was something different.

With that said, it could be interesting. This might just be bad “copy” in the advertising.

Also, I loved AoA. One of the best crossover events of all time. In fact, it might be the one that “broke” comics.

@malschla - Yeah, this is why Sinister is my favorite comic villain. He pretty much played a part in every major tragedy the X-Men have ever faced. Except the Dark Phoenix. He had nothing to do with that one lol.

And none of it was because he wanted to rule the world.

I have to say that I absolutely hate what they've done with his character since the 2010's though. Turning him into a loud, obnoxious, flamboyant idiot that makes constant jokes was the worst possible thing they could have done to his character.

@CorndogBurglar - he used to be truly sinister. Everything I’ve seen from the writers in the last 15 years is just “eccentric evil guy”

@malschla - Exactly!

@malschla - yes, they ruined Sinister a LONG time ago, and keep running with this clown version of him.

Mr. Sinister was always my favorite Villain, BUT, they changed his character a few years before the Powers of X storyline, and made him a goof. he is more court jester than scheming genius now. I have this Sins of Sinister storyline brings back classic Sinister.
