The Rise of The Mutants Begins In X-Necrosha With Two Sell Outs!

X-Necrosha_SecondPrintingVariantMarvel is thrilled to announce that the first two X-Necrosha tie-ins, X- Necrosha and New Mutants #6, have sold out at Diamond (though copies may still be available at retail level) and will return with X-Necrosha Second Printing Variant and New Mutants #6 Second Printing Variant! Go out and grab your copies now because this monumental epic will leave no X-Men team unscathed!

The Black Queen plans to use the X-Men as a stepping stone to reach immortality in X- Necrosha Second Printing Variant! A story this big can only be handled by a team of stars like Christopher Yost, Craig Kyle, Zeb Wells, Mike Carey, as well as stunning artist Clayton Crain! The X-Men are the only ones capable of stopping Selene from claming the unimaginable power of a deity! But between them and her are swarms of undead mutants! An army of the walking dead, immortality within a Black Queen’s grasp, NewMutants_06_SecondPrintingVariantthis is the Rise of the Mutants!

In New Mutants #6 Second Printing Variant the Black Queen Selene brings the fight right to the New Mutants’ doorstep! The fan favorite team of Zeb Wells and artist Diogenes Neves present this thrilling landmark issue that kicks off this dark and twisted crossover! The dead are resurrected and nightmares are brought to life as Selene sets in motion her plan for ultimate revenge!

Critics and fans are raving about this epic event:

X Necrosha is an entertaining start to the latest X-Men crossover. It’s hard to imagine Crain being more in his element as an artist than a story involving zombies and wide-scale bloodshed.” – Jesse Schedeen, IGN.com

New Mutants #6 has, easily, Zeb Wells’ strongest script on the series to date… Wells has definitely got the talent and imagination.” – Greg McElhatton, ComicBookResources.com

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all X-Necrosha tie-ins – such as X-Force, New Mutants, and X-Men Legacy – due to the overwhelming demand and critical acclaim. Which mutants are given bone-jarring resurrections to be used as Selene’s instruments of revenge? This must see even is going to shake the mutant world to the core and remember X fans, this is just the beginning!

No fan can afford to miss any chapter of X-Necrosha, and we have them in order for you right here:
