Marvel Comics has revealed an official trailer its upcoming X-Men spinoff title Inferno, the four-issue limited series that marks the end of writer Jonathan Hickman's time in Krakoa for the time being.
"A high-stakes mutant drama, Inferno will provide the startling payoff to long-running plotlines including Mystique's quest to be reunited with Destiny, startling shakeups to the Quiet Council, and the looming threat of Nimrod," Marvel said in an official press release. "Alliances will be broken, secrets will be revealed, and the once-bright future of mutantkind will be endangered like never before. Fans can get their first look at this revelatory saga in the all-new Inferno trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork."
Inferno is slated to launch with issue #1 at the end of this month on Wednesday, Sept. 29 -- and Marvel promises that the series will see the X-Men's world "go up in flames." "Crafted by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman, this four-issue limited series will serve as the climactic finale of Hickman's bold X-Men era that began with 2019's transformative House of X and Powers of X," the aforementioned press release explains. "Hickman will team up with a different superstar artist on each giant-sized issue, starting with Valerio Schiti, known for his acclaimed work on titles such as S.W.O.R.D. and Empyre."
"I'm very excited that we're finally getting to share with everyone the follow-up to House of X/Powers of X," said Hickman. "The story is 160 pages over four issues drawn exquisitely by Valerio Schiti, R.B. Silva and Stefano Caselli. I cannot wait for people to read it."

THE CULMINATION OF JONATHAN HICKMAN'S X-MEN BEGINS HERE! “There will be an island—not the first, but the last…” Promises were made and broken.
