Almost forty years after Kate Pryde and the future X-Men took on a world overrun by Sentinels, the prequel chapter from dystopian epic “X-Men: Days of Future Past” is now being told. One of the most famous and acclaimed events in Marvel canon, this storyline followed a team of surviving mutants clinging to hope where there was little to be found.

The event’s original co-creator and writer Chris Claremont teams with legendary artist Salvador Larroca to fill in some important blanks from the X-Men’s war-torn future, covered in an all-new 20-page story that you can preview here.
