Marvel Reveals New Details for Captain Britain 50th Anniversary Special

Marvel has shared more details about the upcoming Captain Britain 50th Anniversary Special in this week’s X-Mentions column featured across the X-books. While the special’s creative teams had already been announced, the new description reveals that Alan Davis’ story will feature Captain Britain facing the unstoppable Fury, while Dan Abnett and Kelsey Ramsay’s contribution will follow an atypical day in the life of Betsy Braddock, the current Captain Britain, described as a can’t-miss chapter in the ongoing story of one of mutantkind’s strongest warriors. The issue will also include a story by Chris Claremont and Paul Davidson set during the earliest days of Brian Braddock’s adventures.

Captain Britain 50th Anniversary Special will be released on October 14, 2026.

• Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning will take over "New Mutants" as of issue #25.

• The artist of the book will be Leandro Fernandez who also did the initial "New Mutants" teaser which hit online last week.

• "Unfinished Business" is the first arc, where the team will track down mutants who have been off the map including Nate "X-Man" Grey and Blink. Cyclops sets the New Mutants team out to nullify potential threats born from the X-Men's past.

• New Mutants is the team that deals with loose ends. They are X-Men.

• The team's roster will see some pretty significant changes by the end of the first arc.

• Nate Grey is X-Royalty that needs to be relocated. He can't just be left hanging in the wind. Nate was last seen being taken off to be hooked up to the Dark Beast's machines.

• Blink's role in the book is different because she has less past with the proper X-Men characters, which opens up new story potential.

• Dani Moonstar's relationship with Sam Guthrie will be touched, as well as introducing a real curveball romantic liason.

• Havok, Polaris and Rachel will return before MMXI is over.

• "New Mutants" #25 ships to comic shops this May from Marvel Comics.
