Marvel Reveals X-Men: Sins of Sinister Trailer

By Spencer Perry

Straight from New York Comic Con even more new details about Marvel's upcoming X-Men event Sins of Sinister have been revealed alongside an official trailer for the comic book crossover. The event will kick off with a supersized one-shot by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Lucas Werneck which will "witness the current Krakoan era crumble and enter a new Marvel Comics age brought about by Sinister's corrupt machinations." Marvel also confirmed three new X-Men titles that will be published as part of the line, and which of the Marvel Comics they'll be replacing when Sins of Sinister kicks off in January of 2023.

"Sinister's lurked around, being sinister for all the Krakoan Age. Eventually, he was going to make a play. This is it, and it's bigger than you can imagine, stretching across 1000 years of nightmares," Gillen revealed. "Dystopic future stories are an X-Men classic. We wanted to find a new way to approach that, and give something we haven't seen before. I think we've pulled it off. Sinister gets exactly what he wants, and it's hell for everyone. Including Sinister." 

Marvel teased that that some things that occur in the Sins of Sinister event will actually pay off seeds planted as far back as Johnathan Hickman's groundbreaking House of X and Powers of X events. "Sinister has been planning all this since the beginning" as the publisher says. Check out the trailer and cover art below.

New Titles

With Sins of Sinister three X-Men titles will be going away for a time with Immortal X-Men, X-Men Red, and Legion of X all being replaced by new comics. As Marvel reveals, Immortal X-Men will now become Immoral X-Men, while X-Men Red will publish Storm & The Brotherhood of Mutants, and Legion of X will become Nightcrawlers.

Series writers Kieron Gillen, Al Ewing, and Si Spurrier will pen their respective new titles, joined by artists Paco Medina, Patch Zircher, and Alessandro Vitti. According to Marvel each artist will draw one issue for each title which will be set in three separate time periods, jumping ahead 10 Years, 100 Years, and then 1000 years into the future of the Marvel Universe. It will all conclude in the end with another one-shot, Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1!
