Sins of Sinister is an all-new mutant epic that kicks off next month in a giant-sized one-shot by the visionary Immortal X-Men creative team, writer Kieron Gillen and artist Lucas Werneck.
Fellow current X-Men writers Al Ewing and Si Spurrier join Gillen in penning their respective new titles, while artists Paco Medina, Andrea Di Vito, and Alessandro Vitti are also on board. 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.
Now, we can get a first look at this universe-melting X-event in the newly released Sins of Sinister trailer featuring never-before-seen artwork. The teaser opens with Sinister finally paying for his monstrous crimes, but it’s far too late. Even as mutantkind's leaders sentence him to the pit, Sinister’s dangerous game bears fruit.
Watch on in horror as earth’s greatest heroes fall and armies of mutant Chimera rise. The trailer teases Storm’s brave struggles as leader of the last surviving mutant stronghold in Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants, the vicious plotting between the remaining members of the Quiet Council and the return of fan-favorite character Rasputin in Immoral X-Men, and the deadly attacks committed by a cult-like group of vicious Nightcrawler hybrids in Nightcrawlers.
"I joke that it makes Age of Apocalypse look like the Swimsuit Special, and I'm not saying in terms of quality or anything," Gillen explains in an interview with ComicBook.com. "What I'm actually saying is, by the end of the thousand-year bit, it's so apocalyptically grim."
"You start at a very low-level conspiracy vibe. In the middle, you've got evil space opera, and then a far future of full-on gothic, operatic horror," he continues. "That's the vibe of the three [time periods], and then we end on Sins of Sinister: Dominion to round it all off."
Sinister has been planning all this since the beginning, and now he'll be forced to see it through to the bitter end. Dare to see what unfolds in a world cursed by Sinister when Sins of Sinister #1 arrives on January 25, and watch the trailer below!
