It sets the stage by following Legion's time-traveling attempt to assassinate Magneto, which inadvertently creates a dystopian reality where Apocalypse rules. This volume gathers the key issues from the X-Men titles that lead directly into the alternate timeline saga.
In "The Son Rises in the East (Legion Quest Part One)," the X-Men race to uncover the fate of their missing teammates, only to discover they’ve been pulled into a time rift—twenty years in the past, alongside Magneto and Xavier in Israel. With Lilandra warning of reality unraveling, the present-day mansion faces its own crisis as Sabretooth escapes and confronts Wolverine. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Andy Kubert, with inks by Matt Ryan and colors by Kevin Somers, this pivotal issue sets the stage with tense dual narratives and a cover by Roger Cruz.
In "The Son Rises in the East (Legion Quest Part One)," the X-Men face their most dangerous foe yet—Legion, now wielding terrifying control over time. With Professor X, Storm, Bishop, Jean Grey, Iceman, and Psylocke at his side, the team races to stop Legion’s plan, only to be hurled into the past when he alters history. Gabrielle Haller, Lilandra, Jahf, and Gladiator make brief appearances as the stakes rise and the timeline fractures.
In the wake of the X-Men’s sudden disappearance, the team races to uncover the truth behind their vanishing—only to find that Legion has dragged Xavier and Magneto into a pivotal moment in the past, where their choices could unravel reality itself. Back at the mansion, tension flares when Sabretooth escapes his cell, forcing Wolverine to confront him before the situation spirals further.
In a pivotal moment that reshapes history, Legion’s desperate attempt to prevent Magneto’s betrayal culminates in a tragic sacrifice—Professor X steps in to save his friend, altering the course of the future. Now, in the present, the X-Men face the devastating aftermath as the world they knew collapses into the Age of Apocalypse, with the fate of mutants hanging in the balance.
