Marvel has revealed more details on this summer's X-Men event, Extermination. Starting in May, key X-Men titles will include post-credits scenes that jump 20 years into Marvel's future where mutants are on the verge of extinction.
An infographic features the five titles that will give readers a glimpse of the X-Men's dark future, with a story written by Ed Brisson and illustrated by Oscar Bazaldua. This will all lead to Extermination #1 in August, from Brisson and artist Pepe Larraz.
