Recently at Newsarama, Mike Carey gave a very detailed interview about the upcoming Age Of X storyline. When I say very detailed, I really mean very detailed. So for safety’s sake, we’ve gleaned some of the best information from the interview for you:
- Age of X: Alpha will kick off the story, featuring art by Paul Davidson, Gabriel Hernandez Walta, Harvey Tolibao, Mirco Pierfederici and Carlo Barberi.
- It’s a seven part story, crossing between New Mutants #22-24 and X-Men Legacy #245-247.
- New Mutants will be illustrated by Steve Kurth, and X-Men Legacy will be illustrated by Clay Mann.
- The story is taking place in an alternate universe/timeline where anti-mutant coalitions rule the world, and the story takes place in the “eleventh hour” where “someone” has united the surviving mutants.
- The new character Basilisk is actually Cyclops.
