☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn X-Men: Age of X Chapter 1, a fractured group of X-Men recounts their altered pasts in a dystopian world where mutants are hunted and history has been rewritten. As they gather on Fortress X, bracing for an inevitable assault, the weight of their changed lives and uncertain futures builds toward a sudden, violent confrontation. Written by Mike Carey and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Mirco Pierfederici, Gabriel Hernández Walta, and Carlo Barberi, with colors by Mirco Pierfederici, Gabriel Hernández Walta, and others, the issue’s stark, layered visuals bring a haunting, immersive tone to this alternate reality. The cover, by Leinil Francis Yu, captures the tension of the moment with striking precision.
In a world where mutants are hunted with merciless precision, the X-Men gather at Fortress X, each recounting how they came to be part of this desperate refuge. As the air grows thick with tension, the pasts they’ve shared—twisted, fractured, and haunted—begin to blur with the present. Then, without warning, the final assault begins.
In the ruins of a world where mutants are hunted, the last survivors hold fast at Fortress X, their resistance tested daily by human forces under Magneto’s command. When a lone, unarmed figure breaches the Force Wall, Legacy finds herself questioning the cost of survival—and what it means when the enemy walks in peace.
Legacy tracks down clues about Kitty Pryde, the enigmatic mutant beyond the Force Walls, leading to a tense showdown with Danger, the iron-willed warden of the X-Brig. As secrets from the past surface, the fragile order of the mutant regime begins to crack under the weight of buried truths.
In the shadowed halls of Fortress X, Legacy and Gambit follow a secret directive from Magneto, racing against time to uncover a hidden room long sealed beneath the facility’s crumbling foundations. With the weight of the past pressing down and the truth of their world’s collapse still unfolding, they must navigate the ruins of a fractured resistance—where every corridor holds echoes of what was lost and what might still be saved.
In "Age of X Chapter 5," the Moonstar Cadre stand firm against the Force Warriors’ orders to execute escaped prisoners, even as the tension between the two factions reaches a breaking point. With the human attack that has haunted Fortress X for over a thousand days finally delayed, the mutants on the base brace for the truth—whether it comes from within or from the world beyond their walls.
In the harsh reality of the Age of X, the non-mutant heroes find themselves drawn into a desperate mission as an "Avengers" team forms to confront a mutant stronghold. With figures like Iron Man, Captain America, and the Thing joining forces with unexpected allies like Redback and Ghost Rider, tensions rise as old divisions and new threats collide.
In the dystopian world of Age of X, where non-mutant heroes are hunted, Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson race against time to get her out of the country—protecting not just their love, but the life growing inside her.
