Publisher Description. Evolution is contagious! This July, the X-Men and Fantastic Four unite against a bombshell of a threat that even their combined intelligence and strength can’t overcome in DNX, a new five-issue comic book event series from writer Jed MacKay (X-Men, Bloodhunt) and artist Federico Vicentini (Miles Morales: Spider-Man).
The latest in the two legendary super team’s history of iconic team-ups, DNX kicks off when the CHAIRMAN, the misguided original Hank McCoy, A.K.A. founding X-Man Beast, and his Machiavellian group of supervillains known as 3K prepare to unleash a virus that will forcibly – and horribly – transform humanity into mutants! This long-seeded plan, built up since the very beginning of MacKay’s hit run, hits the Marvel Universe with seismic repercussions that not only impact MacKay’s continuing work on the franchise, but upset the very balance between mutantkind and humanity as we know it.
THE X-VIRUS UNLEASHED!
The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another’s throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: The X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major population area!
