From his throne on Arakko, the powerful and ancient mutant known as Apocalypse will make his presence felt on Earth once again as he recruits Jubilee on a dangerous quest to secure a mysterious Celestial artifact in TOMB OF APOCALYPSE #1
Written by rising star writer Ashley Allen (Magik & Colossus) and artist Domenico Carbone (Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu), when an unknown device from Mars crash lands outside the X-Men’s home at Haven House, Jubilee answers the call in a bid to prove herself as more than just a babysitter for the Outliers.
