This week in the X-Men corner of the Marvel Universe:
X-MEN: RED #18
Now home to the mutants of Arakko, the Red Planet has never shined brighter or been more dangerous… What does that mean for Mars’ new inhabitants and the larger galactic landscape? The saga continues as the mutants on Mars deal with both the promise and the threat that Arakko represents to the Marvel Universe.
Storm, Magneto, Sunspot, Abigail Brand, and the mutants of the Great Ring continue to forge Arakko’s uncertain future in a place of mystery, strength, and endless conflict.
Mutantkind’s bold leap into the future on the terraformed Mars reaches a stunning crescendo in X-MEN: RED #18
