Magik & Colossus Writer Ashley Allen and Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu Artist Domenico Carbone are teaming up on Tomb Of Apocalypse. Now this story starts off:
“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. Activated by her mutant powers, the device sends both Jubilee and Wolverine across the world to a desert outpost in Egypt being excavated by armed mercenaries – the Tomb of Apocalypse! As they descend deep into the earth to uncover what Apocalypse has planned for humanity, mutantkind, Earth and Arakko, they’ll discover they’re not alone as they cross paths with long-time allies Rictor and Shatterstar.”
Both Ashley and Domenico are pulling from X-Men storytelling and long-simmering plot points across multiple eras of mutant history to light the way forward with Jubilee and Wolverine leading the charge. Now the book’s official description reads:
“ANCIENT AND UNFATHOMABLE POWER!
From his exile in space, the shadow of the mutant called APOCALYPSE looms over all life on the pale blue dot from whence he hailed. Once dedicated to ensuring the strongest and fittest mutants would inherit the Earth, now Apocalypse’s attentions have turned to a new deadly undertaking – for which he will need the unique abilities of…JUBILEE and WOLVERINE!”
Writer Ashley Allen mentioned this about the comic:
“For Earth’s mutants, it has taken time to regroup and process the fall of Krakoa. But unfortunately for our heroes, Apocalypse values action. And he’s never been one to miss out on an opportunity.”
Tomb Of Apocalypse #1 releases August 26th.
