Marvel's X-Men comic books are running full pelt towards the Fall Of The X and the Big Reset. And today, that means X-Men Red #18, Dark X-Men #5 and X-Men Unlimited Infinity #117. With Orchis battling from all sides.

In last week's Iron Man, we got an inkling of a mutant invasion of Earth against Orchis coming. And got an inkling of where it was coming, from above. X-Men Red #18 plays out the final battle on Mars between the factions of Arakko.

While in Dark X-Men #5, the battle is from below, with pretenders to the crown of Limbo.

So, just as Storm is tempted by the Apocalypse staff…

So Madelyne Pryor is tempted by her multiversal self.

While Judas Traveller in X-Men Unlimited Infinity #117 reaps the rewards of falling to temptation from Orchis…

So as the battle rages in Dark X-Men, Madelyne Pryor may be planning for the future…

As do Apocalypse and Storm, looking to take the battle to Earth and Orchis from above…

Where Firestar is ready to take down Orchis from within.

And Madylene Pryor from below…

Oh and it looks like Thor may be up for the fight as well in today's Immortal Thor #5…

Is a quadruple pincer movement coming for Orchis? X-Men Red #18 and Dark X-Men #5 are published today, X-Men Unlimited #117 dropped yesterday on the app.
