There may be no Captain Britain mentioned on the X Of Swords list revealed on Marvel's Pull List today (and Frankensteined together by Bleeding Cool). But you will get an idea of which of the Marvel X-Men comic books tied into the crossover will be coming, as and when. And a confirmation of the Creation, Stasis and Destruction one-shots.

We also get a look at the mutant books being lined up for X Of Swords. Confirmation that more New Mutants are coming. But right now it's not looking great for Children Of The Atom. There's also a missing final title – may that stretch it into December? So here's a little look at September mutant titles.

X of Swords will see ten mutants of Krakoa given legendary swords that they will use to battle for the future of the living island of Krakoa.

The went was delayed due to the pandemic but now has a firm schedule going forward – if easing in with just four titles in September.

X Of Swords is all part of the current Dawn Of X revival that has narrated a new era for both the X-Men and the mutants around the Marvel Universe. Mutants are offered asylum on the island of Krakoa, ruled under a council formed by Professor X, Magneto and Apocalypse, among others. While several factions deal with their own issues, Moira MacTaggert warns them all about an incoming threat that may doom mutantkind, and probably the whole world. With Moira Mactaggert revealed as a mutant who has been reliving her life, trying to get things right, now on her tenth life and tenth version of the current reality. Although we haven't seen her for quite some time…
