Free Comic Book Day Vol 2020 X-Men #1 Spoilers & Art

Spoilers: Another time and another place, four mysterious beings use portals to transport mutants around the world – or indeed the galaxy. They resemble Egyptian gods and Greek myth and conjure their own sigils. They say that the death of a star is a small price to pay for the favor of Saturnyne.

Meanwhile in Otherworld, Saturyne draws the tarot. Her predecessors Merlin and Roma preferred to play chess. She deals the cards:
        • Judgment – Apocalypse staring into the abyss together with the High Summoner.
        • Four of Wands – The original four Horsemen of Apocalypse.
        • The Hanged Man  – Apocalypse, Beast, Havok, Rictor, Glob, Trinary, Banshee, Archangel and Polaris.
        • Eight of Cups – A mysterious woman.
        • Ten of Swords – Apocalypse, Cable, Wolverine, Magik and Captain Britain (Betsy Braddock). The shadowy figures might be Gorgon, Storm, Cypher, Magneto and Scalphunter.

It's A LOT. Betsy is queen. The shadows look like Storm Gorgon Cypher Magneto and Iceman.

Is the quartet zodiac signs? Taurus Gemini and Pisces.

Forgot about this issue! I was planning on getting it oh well lol

Betsy looks great in that one shot lol

Also the 4 brings remind me a lot of the Horseman from Remender's UXF

the mysterious woman is Storm

So I guess it's safe to assume Betsy will play a considerable role in this event? That's good!

But wow, that's a lot of mysteries. The return of the original Horsemen (what's their role in this?), the mysterious figures transporting mutants (are they the enemies? are the mutants being transported with their consent?), the mysterious woman (or women?)...
