Enter the Chaos: Xavier’s Escape
Why has the benevolent Professor X turned fugitive? In the aftermath of the Orchis War, he languished in Graymalkin Prison. Suddenly, something has ignited his drive to flee. His escape launches him on a frantic nationwide trek. Who’s chasing him, you ask? Practically everyone, from devoted disciples to relentless enemies. This unfolding drama sees Rogue and her X-Men team forming unexpected alliances, only to end up betraying old friends.
Executive Editor Tom Brevoort spills the beans, revealing that “this is the perfect moment for a clash of titans.” Splintered X groups now converge, and Professor X, disgraced yet pivotal, stands at the heart of this tumult. “X-Manhunt” is not just about escape but confrontations that test loyalties to the breaking point.
A Race Against Time in a Divided World
As Charles Xavier dashes across the country, he halts briefly in New York City. Among the bustling streets, the NYX community nervous over his disruptive presence. While some see him as a beacon of hope, others brace for incoming chaos. His motives spark curiosity and fear alike—with tensions simmering hotly beneath the surface.
Storm opens her sanctuary doors to the fugitive Xavier. However, not all welcome him. Divisions within the ranks threaten to spiral into a fierce face-off. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Zulu titan Maggott emerges, further complicating this web of allegiances and rivalries.
The Final Countdown: Who’s With Xavier?
