Marvel Comics will have its three core X-Men teams facing the iconic villain Apocolypse this spring, neatly timed for the release of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse.
The battles kick off in March with Extraordinary X-Men #8, in a story where mutants are once again an endangered species, and the last hope for salvation is lost in the time stream. Suddenly, the fate of all mutants is in the hands of one of the X-Men’s most deadly adversaries.

Then in April, Uncanny X-Menwill face the immortal mutant beginning in Issue #6. Psylocke has a bout of déjà vu when she finds a vacant, drone-like Archangel acting as the Horseman of Death. Is he once again under Apocalypse’s sway? As Psylocke and her team attempt to save their teammate, they uncover a horrifying truth worse than they could imagine.
Finally, in May All-New X-Men will face Apocalypse beginning in Issue #9.
