Marvel Announces "Knights of X" by Tini Howard & Bob Quinn


The fate of Otherworld is in danger! Tini Howard and Bob Quinn begin a new quest of mutants and magic in 'Knights of X' this April.


Excalibur #26 Art

Excalibur #26 Spoilers

Spoilers: Arthur’s forces take over the Starlight Citadel, but Merlyn has his eyes set on Avalon in order to force each and every mutant to cross the gates back to Krakoa. Saturnyne uses her powers to teleport herself and Captain Britain back to Castle Avalon, where they meet the rest of Excalibur.

Saturnyne explains that during the incursions (Time Runs Out, 2015), she had captured a Mapmaker and used its reality-travelling powers to escape the collapse of the Multiverse. Saturnyne and the Mapmaker landed on Blightspoke, a cemetery for broken realities. After exhausting its powers, the Mapmaker became an orb. Eventually, Merlyn and Roma found Saturnyne in Blightspoke. Unbeknownst to Merlyn, Saturnyne and Roma had forged an alliance to get rid of Merlyn. Saturnyne unleashed the Mapmaker’s power against Merlyn, essentially killing him. As a god, he would eventually be brought back to life; however, by then, Saturnyne had already secured her position as Omniversal Guardian, while securing a beautiful kingdom for Roma. In the ensuing chaos, Otherworld was reformed as we know it now, with ten realms.

Meanwhile, the British Government threatens to take action against mutantkind, as the Braddock Lighthouse begins to emit unnatural energies as a result of the Starlight Citadel’s fall to Merlyn. Xavier and Emma Frost wants to close off the gates to Otherworld for good, while Rachel tries to reason with them. Excalibur returns through the Gate. Emma and Xavier ask Betsy to forget about Otherworld and seek diplomatic contact with the authorities. Betsy thinks it’s best to fight the war on Otherworld and is encouraged by Rachel.

Back to Otherworld, Arthur’s army marches towards Castle Avalon and a battle ensues between Arthur’s forces and Excalibur, joined by the Captain Britain Corps. Jubilee decides to take Shogo back to Krakoa for his own safety. Merlyn, Morgan Le Fay and Coven Akkaba all join forces to push the mutants back to Castle Camelot and the gates. Betsy orders Excalibur to retreat and fall back to Krakoa, bringing each and every mutant with them. At that moment, Merlyn, Morgan Le Fay and Coven Akkaba combine their powers to destroy the gates. However, Excalibur manages to cross the gate because Betsy used her Starlight Sword to hold it open until everyone was safe back on Earth.

After making sure everyone was safe, Betsy asks for reinforcements to fight the war on Otherworld as she teleports back to Avalon by herself to lead the Captain Britain Corps against Merlyn. Xavier is astonished by Betsy’s bravery while Rachel notes that she’s doing what she always done: fighting for a world that hates and fears her.

The X-Men Enter 'Destiny of X'

Marvel.com: Rising out of the ashes of Inferno and emerging out of the vital time-travelling mission in X Lives of Wolverine/X Deaths of Wolverine comes The Second Krakoan Age of X-Men: Destiny of X! Mutantkind’s future is reshaped once more, as Krakoa’s greatest triumphs and most crushing challenges still lie ahead. As last week’s Choose Your Destiny teasers showed, the possibilities are endless!

This new era will kick off with new titles such as Immortal X-Men, Knights of X, Legion of X, and X-Men Red, a stellar new creative team takeover on Marauders, and revolutionary status quo changes for continuing titles X-Men, X-Force, New Mutants, and Wolverine.

Fans can get their first peek at what’s to come in a new promotional image by Leini Francis Yu and Sunny Gho, an epic group shot starring some of the major players of the franchise’s upcoming sagas!

“The journey of the Krakoan Age is far from over!” Senior Editor Jordan D. White promises. “Our long-term plan that all our creators have been working on in our secret Council Chamber has only just begun to come to fruition. With the filling of the two empty council seats, the Reign of X has ended, and it’s time for mutantkind to reach for their destiny!”

Excalibur #25 Art

Excalibur #25 Spoilers

Spoilers: Betsy reunites with Tom Lennox at the Green Lagoon bar, where he reveals his plans to reform S.T.R.I.K.E. under Pete Wisdom’s leadership. Betsy is distracted catching glimpses of the Otherworld battle in her mind and with Kwannon and Greycrow on a date also at the bar. Tom doesn’t expect them to renew their relationship but is hopeful Captain Britain might join S.T.R.I.K.E. on a mission in London. Soon enough, Alison, Vicki and Kevin join them. Betsy explains that she will fight for England in Otherworld instead and is encouraged by her dear friends.

In Otherworld, Maggie Braddock explains that Excalibur retreated back to the castle while the Captain Britain Corps held the Citadel, where Saturnyne is meditating on a scrying pool to enhance and heal the Captains. Excalibur agrees to jump into battle again while Jamie stays behind with Shogo and Maggie to protect the gate to Krakoa. Meanwhile Merlyn is casting a spell of sorts while Arthur’s forces erect siege towers and place ballistae around the Starlight Citadel.

Saturnyne deploys her White Priests against Arthur’s army. The Priests are soon joined by Excalibur, the Braddocks, Shatterstar and Bei; however, Arthur’s minions start targeting only the Captains Britain. Betsy orders the Captains to retreat, but it’s too late. Merlyn finally casts his spell wrapping the Citadel with an anti-magic bubble. Excalibur attempts to hold the Citadel’s doorway against their enemies. Betsy projects her butterfly avatar and orders her teammates to protect Saturnyne and escort her out of the Citadel.

Arthur breaks into the Citadel and meets Betsy in plain clothes. Without magic, Betsy loses her Captain Britain costume and powers. Betsy assures Arthur he won’t retake Avalon and will learn to fear mutantkind, after all he’s just a man. Betsy again projects her butterfly effect and subdues Arthur telepathically, leaving him catatonic while displaying a huge butterfly effect.

Excalibur rescues Saturnyne, just in time for Jamie Braddock to return riding Shogo. Excalibur flees riding on Shogo’s back. Betsy comes looking for Saturnyne, and Jamie just drops her for Betsy to catch. While out of Merlyn’s anti-magic bubble, Betsy becomes Captain Britain again. Betsy asks Shogo to carve a trench between the Citadel and Camelot with this reality-bending fire while Jamie holds reality together so it won’t collapse. Enraged, Merlyn casts a spell against Saturnyne and Betsy, who end up falling into the ground until they reach a place called the Sea of Secrets. Both women wake up on a small boat. Saturnyne says she’s ready to tell the story of how she took the Citadel from Merlyn.
