This Is What The 2026 X-Men Event DNX Will Be About… Also Blind Bags

This is what Marvel Comics' 2026 X-Men/Fantastic Four event DNX launching in September will all be about... also Blind Bags

Okay, so that's what this is. Just as Hulk War seems to be about the Marvel Universe getting mutated into horrific monstrous forms, and Armageddon has people getting monstrous powers, so DNX, the X-Men/Fantastic Four event of 2026, will have the X-Men and Fantastic Four team up to stop the X-Virus that caused the events of the future timeline The Age Of Revelation, from mutating mankind. And blind bags, lots and lots of blind bags. Here is the solicitation for DNX #1 by Jed MacKay and Federico Vicentini for September 2026… though it will be previewed on May's Free Comic Book Day.

THE X-VIRUS UNLEASHED!
The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another's throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: The X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major population area! The debut issue will be the latest Marvel comic available in TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS, each containing an exclusive cover not available for regular ordering.On Sale 9/2

"The latest in the two legendary super team's history of iconic team-ups, DNX kicks off when the CHAIRMAN, the misguided original Hank McCoy, A.K.A. founding X-Man Beast, and his Machiavellian group of supervillains known as 3K prepare to unleash a virus that will forcibly—and horribly—transform humanity into mutants! This long-seeded plan, built up since the very beginning of MacKay's hit run, hits the Marvel Universe with seismic repercussions that not only impact MacKay's continuing work on the franchise, but upset the very balance between mutantkind and humanity as we know it!"

"DNX is the next big milestone event of our X-Men run," MacKay explained. "Age of Revelation showed the future, and DNX shows that future's impact on the present! The X-Men and 3K are on a collision course that has been set since issue one—and only one will survive. And with the Fantastic Four joining the fray, this is going to be an event that will transform the X-Men dramatically." "I'm so happy to be working on DNX," Vicentini shared. "I love what Jed is doing with X-Men, and I've been telling him for a long time that I wanted to work with him. Now the opportunity has arrived, and it's an even bigger challenge because I finally have the chance to work on the Fantastic Four too! I can't say anything about the plot, obviously, but I want you to know that I'm very excited about what we're doing, and I'm sure it'll be something you'll definitely want to read. That's how I feel both as the artist and as a fan!"
