Kylun Returns In Marvel's X-Men May 2022 Solicitations

Okay, so Marvel wants to talk about the upcoming X-Men comic books for May in terms of "Judgment Day Approaches and a Major New Player Emerges As Destiny Of X Continues To Reshape Mutantkind". By that major new player, they don't mean Kylun. But they should. Oh, and the Books Of Destiny is getting a sequel.

Kylun was the mutant kid who appeared in the first series of Excalibur #2 from Chris Claremont and Alan Davis, transported to another world by Widget, giving Widget the "oh gosh, oh golly, oh wow" catchphrase, and then completely forgotten about until Alan Davis took over writing the book.

He revealed that Colin had been transported to a warrior dimension, where his mutant power and appearance exhibited, and became a character from a Princess Of Mars style reality, called Kylun. He eventually returned to his home dimension and joined Excalibur. And now he's back… in Marvel's X-Men May 2022 solicitations. First On Sale 5/4
