One year after the events of Firebrand, mutants remain on the fringes, feared and misunderstood. Though the Vault threat has passed, its lingering echoes ripple throughout the world. Apocalypse—En Sabah Nur—has awakened in Detroit, quietly beginning his campaign to reshape the world. With a vision of forcing evolution rather than destroying humanity, Apocalypse seeks to upgrade the human race, bending it to his will. Rogue leads a team of X-Men, including Polaris, Magik, Nightcrawler, Gentle, Elixir, and X-23, as they confront new challenges.
As Apocalypse begins to gather his followers and reshape the Earth, the X-Men are pushed to the limits of their abilities, both physically and emotionally. With the stakes higher than ever, they must face the consequences of power, loyalty, and sacrifice, all while battling an enemy whose influence spreads faster than they can contain it. As they confront both the external threat and their internal struggles, the X-Men must find a way to stop a force that seeks to rewrite the world itself.
