The X-Men and Fantastic Four Join Forces in ‹ DNX › to Stop the X-Virus from Mutating Mankind
‹ DNX, › a five-issue comic book event series from superstar writer Jed MacKay and acclaimed artist Federico Vicentini co-starring the X-Men and Fantastic Four, arrives in September.
Evolution is contagious.
This September, the X-Men and Fantastic Four unite against a bombshell of a threat that even their combined intelligence and strength can’t overcome in DNX, a new five-issue comic book event series from superstar writer Jed MacKay (X-Men) and acclaimed artist Federico Vicentini (Miles Morales: Spider-Man). The latest in the two legendary super team’s history of iconic team-ups, DNX kicks off when the Chairman, the misguided original Hank McCoy, A.K.A. founding X-Man Beast, and his Machiavellian group of supervillains known as 3K prepare to unleash a virus that will forcibly—and horribly—transform humanity into mutants!
This long-seeded plan, built up since the very beginning of MacKay’s run, hits the Marvel Universe with seismic repercussions that not only impact the writer’s continuing work on the franchise, but that also upset the very balance between mutantkind and humanity as we know it!
THE X-VIRUS UNLEASHED!
The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another’s throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: The X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major population area!

On Sale 9/2« DNX is the next big milestone event of our X-Men (2024) run, » MacKay explained. « Age of Revelation showed the future, and DNX shows that future’s impact on the present! The X-Men and 3K are on a collision course that has been set since issue one—and only one will survive. And with the Fantastic Four joining the fray, this is going to be an event that will transform the X-Men dramatically. »
« I’m so happy to be working on DNX, » Vicentini shared. "I love what Jed is doing with X-Men (2024), and I’ve been telling him for a long time that I wanted to work with him. Now the opportunity has arrived, and it’s an even bigger challenge because I finally have the chance to work on the Fantastic Four too!
“I can’t say anything about the plot, obviously, but I want you to know that I’m very excited about what we’re doing, and I’m sure it’ll be something you’ll definitely want to read. That’s how I feel both as the artist and as a fan!" he continued.
Avec le bling bag qui gâche tout.
Marvel propose deux numéros pour le Comics Giveaway Day, dont l’un centré sur Avengers: Armageddon / X-Men / Doomquest.
Le segment X-Men prépare l’événement DNX et est réalisé par Jed MacKay et Federico Vicentini. On y voit les X-Men de Cyclope mener une attaque sur une base Hydra déjà sollicitée par 3K, l’organisation du Fauve de Krakoa qui veut diffuser un Virus pour transformer les Humains en Mutants ; mais ils arrivent trop tard et 3K a déjà pris ce dont ils ont besoin.
Bof. Ce n’est pas mauvais mais ça n’apporte rien à la série principale, même si ça a l’avantage de bien montrer la caractérisation de l’équipe, toujours efficace. Les dessins sont corrects et fluides.
Inutile hormis pour découvrir l’équipe.
Le nouveau nom du FCBD ?
Je crois, oui.
J’ai cru comprendre que FCBD était un terme lié à Diamond.
Pas tout à fait.
Comme le dit Ben, le terme FCBD est lié à Diamond, racheté par Universal Distribution.
Les éditeurs sont, pour certains distribués par Universal Distribution et pour d’autres par Penguin.
Apparemment, il n’y a pas eu d’accord entre les deux distributeurs, et Penguin a décidé d’organiser un événement concurrent, à la même date.
On a donc le Free Ccomic Book Day et le Comics Giveaway Day…
