One of the most mysterious plot threads in Jonathan Hickman’s “X-Men” run has been the Vault in Ecuador, a temporal anomaly where thousands of years pass while the outside world runs normally. Home to the Children of the Vault, a mutant-like group that were created by a similar scientific experiment to speed up evolution, the area became known to Krakoa early on in the series, and an unkillable team consisting of Laura Kinney (who has resumed using her father’s mantle as Wolverine), Synch, and Darwin were sent to investigate it. Issue #18 finally picked up on the storyline, and we are pleased to present a brief, exclusive sneak peek at next week’s issue, picking up from the group’s battle with the Children.
