After experiencing a literal Rebirth, Renaissance, and Reunion in House of X/ Powers of X and a new beginning in "Dawn of X" that has united the mutant community under one nation of Krakoa, Head of X architect and writer Jonathan Hickman and his team of X-Men writers, artists, and creators are ready for the next summer event for the Children of the Atom, and it's called "X of Swords" - as referenced by the promotional image featuring most of the well known characters of the X-Universe wielding their famous blades that are either signature, mystic, enchanted, or cursed.
Announced at this weekend's C2E2 event and reported by Newsarama, "X of Swords" will see Hickman team up with "Excalibur" series writer Tini Howard - who came up with the name and may refer to the Tarot card "Ten of Swords", as well as a literal "crossing of swords/ weapons" as the "X" may imply. Famous weapons such as Wolverine's Muramase Blade, Magik's Soulsword, Excalibur itself, and many others are seen in the teaser poster drawn by Mark Brooks.
"X of Swords" is announced to begin this July and will be a crossover through the X-Men titles.
