Black Sun: X-Men

In this single-issue Marvel Comics tale from 2000, writer Chris Claremont and artist Thomas Derenick explore a dark, alternate-reality X-Men story set against the backdrop of a corrupted sun. The narrative reimagines familiar mutant dynamics in a grim, high-stakes scenario that showcases Claremont’s signature blend of character-driven drama and cosmic peril. Though a standalone release, it stands as a notable, self-contained glimpse into a divergent timeline.
