[[{“value”:”
The following contains spoilers for X-Men #4, on sale next week.
The new X-Men series, one of the three flagship books of the new “From the Ashes” X-Men relaunch, has introduced a number of major new threats for Marvel’s mutants, including the fact that people’s X-Genes are being activated well into adulthood, which has convinced the rest of the world that the X-Men have now made being mutants contagious, which is freaking people out a lot. Now, in this CBR exclusive preview of next week’s X-Men #4, the X-Men also have to deal with Trevor Fitzroy and the Upstarts, who are planning on turning killing mutants into a social media cashgrab!
X-Men #4 is from writer Jed MacKay, guest artist Netho Diaz, guest inker Sean Parson, regular colorist Marte Gracia, and letterer Clayton Cowles, and shows the X-Men having to take on Trevor Fitzroy and the Upstarts, but the whole team isn’t prepared, so Cyclops has to put together a new strikeforce for the mission!
