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.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

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.
beautiful art! Betts looks great - love that the tarot & Saturnyne are involved - always been a Saturnyne fan
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?)...
