Marvel's Next Great X-Men Crossover Is X OF SWORDS

Marvel's X-Men are going to find ten legendary swords that change everything in this July's line-spanning X of Swords saga.

Marvel announced a major X-Men crossover starting in July titled X of Swords. The storyline will be the first crossover event in the Dawn of X era that began in July 2019 and celebrate the relaunch's one-year anniversary. The event will take place over fifteen issues and be written by every author currently involved in the X-Men franchise.

The announcement came at the C2E2 comics convention's X-Men panel on Friday. Marvel teased a major reveal on Twitter with an image resembling a sword with an X for a crossguard and the word "July" in the alphabet of the Krakoan language spoken by mutants. Near the end of the panel, the publisher revealed the X of Swords title, pronounced "ten of swords", and described it as a massive story in the tradition of line-wide sagas like Mutant Massacre and Age of Apocalypse.
