X-Men Get Their Own Event in March With X-Termination

The Marvel Universe is poised for an X-Men-centric crossover event beginning in March as “worlds collide in X-Termination, according to a visual press release from Marvel Comics.The teaser image shows Wolverine squaring off with a version of Nightcrawler that looks like it may be the one from the Age of Apocalypse, a comic that stars a group of human, anti-mutant resistance fighters called the X-Terminated. Like most characters in Age of Apocalypse, Nightcrawler could find a reason to have beef with Logan.(Note that the Age of Apocalypse Nightcrawler had, until very recently, been appearing regularly in Uncanny X-Force.)Wolverine, in his classic striped superhero costume, sharing cover space with the Nightcrawler clan is pretty reminiscent of the reality-hopping X-Treme X-Men with Kid Nightcrawler, so it doesn’t seem entirely implausible that those two books–both of which trade pretty regularly in alternate timelines and the like–might be crossing each other’s paths in this story.Look out for a formal announcement soon; no creative team is listed.
