Featuring virtually every mutant left standing in the Marvel Universe, the epic storyline teases major deaths among the X-Men cast as fan-favorite characters including Jean Grey and Bishop find themselves drawn into a deadly new mission.
Just as the pivotal 2003 Avengers storyline Avengers Disassembled saw Earth's Mightiest Heroes disbanded after enduring a reality-shaking tragedy at the hands of a mentally unstable Scarlet Witch, perhaps Legion's own history of mental illness could prove to be the X-Men's undoing.
