Tomb Of Apocalypse sees the longtime X-Men foe return

There’s a rumbling in the X-Men’s corner of Marvel’s comics universe. And it’s one that’ll see Apocalypse himself spotlighted.

He is the Apocalypse

When you talk about X-Men villains, there are few that have the level of menace that Apocalypse does. Even after years of being nerfed, he’s pretty easily still one of the super-team’s arch-enemies. He’s also about due for a comeback, which looks like it might be just about to take place.

That would be in the pages of Tomb of Apocalypse, an upcoming mini-series from Marvel. Set to debut this August, the title will hail from the creative team of writer Ashley Allen and artist Domenico Carbone. Together the two talents will be crafting a story that sees an “unknown” device crash land outside of Haven House, the X-Men’s current home.

“For Earth’s mutants, it has taken time to regroup and process the fall of Krakoa,” explains Allen. “But unfortunately for our heroes, Apocalypse values action. And he’s never been one to miss out on an opportunity.”

When Jubilee stumbles across it, it isn’t long before she’s whisked across the globe. And if it involves her, you know Wolverine isn’t far behind. The two heroes won’t be alone though, as they’re joined by classic X-Force members Richter and Shatterstar, for an adventure that’ll take them into a deathtrap known as… the Tomb of Apocalypse.

ANCIENT AND UNFATHOMABLE POWER! 

From his exile in space, the shadow of the mutant called APOCALYPSE looms over all life on the pale blue dot from whence he hailed. Once dedicated to ensuring the strongest and fittest mutants would inherit the Earth, now Apocalypse’s attentions have turned to a new deadly undertaking – for which he will need the unique abilities of…JUBILEE and WOLVERINE!
