Before the X-Men enter a new age this summer, a challenge must be held to determine who will inherit Apocalypse’s sacred responsibility in the four-issue series X-Men: Heir Of Apocalypse
Comic Watch Review: Uncanny X-Men #700: Radiant, With Open Arms
Throughout the Krakoan Age, Apocalypse underwent a radical transformation from supervillain to revered mutant leader. More invigorated than ever, Apocalypse now returns to Arakko to steer his former homeland towards a new destiny.
But his work on Earth still needs to be done—especially in the wake of Krakoa’s brutal fall. Who will he choose as his successor? A mix of icons, fan favorites, and villains, the 12 mutants in the running are: Armageddon Girl, Cable, Cypher, Emma Frost, Exodus, Forge, Gorgon, Mirage, Mr. Sinister, Penance, Rictor, and Wolverine (Laura Kinney). It all begins here in X-Men: Heir Of Apocalypse #1
