EXTINCTION AGENDA — PART 3! Panic in Shi’ar space! The Marauders are prisoners of the Kin Crimson, a secret society stretching back billions of years, who outrank even the Shi’ar Majestrix…or so they think. But Captain Pryde and the Marauders aren’t giving up, not with the Shi’ar holding the last survivors of mutantkind’s first generation hostage. With the weight of history looming like a nuclear threat, can Kate Pryde convince Xandra to side with mutantkind against her kingdom?
Created by Kelly Thompson and Jan Bazaldua, Xandra made her first full appearance in 2018's Mr. and Mrs. X #3. She's the daughter of Charles Xavier and Lilandra Neramani, the former Majestrix of the Shi'ar Empire. Like her father, Xandra possesses psychic abilities, which make her a formidable foe. Currently, she's the Majestrix of the Shi'ar Empire, having taken up the title in the pages of New Mutants.
The current Marauders series has seen Kate Pryde bringing together a new version of the titular team, whose goal is to help mutants get to Krakoa. Their current mission led them to Shi'ar, which provoked the ire of the Crimson Kin. The mysterious and secretive organization counts the fearsome Eric the Red among its members. The run has also seen the return of Cassandra Nova, Xavier's villainous sister. Preview pages for Marauders show Cassandra getting her own version of Cerebro.
The original Marauders team was created by Chris Claremont, John Romita Jr. and Dan Green. The group made its first full appearance in 1986's Uncanny X-Men #211 and originally worked for Mr. Sinister. Over the years, the team has undergone a number of major changes.
Marauders #3 releases June 8 from Marvel Comics. The issue features a cover from Kael Ngu.
