Marvel Comics will show how dangerous a Civil War between villains can be when Immoral X-Men, a spin-off of the Sins of Sinister event announced during the New York Comic-Con, arrives on February 2023. Ten years in the future, Sinister has taken over the world and built a dystopian mutant paradise. In this future timeline that promises to be more horrific than the iconic Age of Apocalypse, only Emma Frost and her Immoral X-Men can stop Sinister once and for all.
Sins of Sinister is Marvel Comics’ upcoming big X-Men event, officially announced during the New York Comic-Con. Decades of machinations, scheming, and forbidden experiments have led Nathaniel Essex, aka Sinister, to control the greatest mutant power that ever existed: Moira McTaggert’s ability to reset entire timelines. Sinister has secretly cloned Moira and used her abilities to look into different futures and erase unfavorable outcomes. Now, Marvel will give readers a full look at what a future dominated by this devious genius looks like, in the Sins of Sinister event, beginning in January 2023.
Immoral X-Men is among the series announced during Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel at New York Comic-Con. Written by Kieron Gillen with art by Paco Medina, this three-issue limited series will focus on Emma Frost, the White Queen, and her team. According to the information shared by Marvel, in the future world of Sins of Sinister, Emma’s X-Men are “adored and respected“, but this is not enough for the White Queen, who sets up to crush Sinister. While Emma has been a hero for a very long time in Marvel’s main continuity, it seems that this series will bring her back to her villainous origins, setting up a civil war between her and Essex. Immoral X-Men will also see the return of a fan-favorite character from the early days of the Krakoa era: Rasputin.
In Mr. Sinister’s Dystopian Future, Even The X-Men Have Become Immoral
Kieron Gillen has been setting up this storyline in his Immortal X-Men series, which showed Mr. Sinister’s dangerous experiments with Moira’s powers, and in the A.X.E.:Judgment Day crossover, which saw the mutants of Krakoa weakened by their conflict against the Eternals. Now, Sins of Sinister will show everyone what a world ruled by Nathaniel Essex looks like, and it’s not going to be pretty. However, Sinister’s rule will not be uncontested, and Immoral X-Men will show what the premier mutant team looks like in this horrific future. If there is someone who can outwit Essex that’s Emma Frost, the glacial telepath with diamond skin who once held the Hellfire Club under her heels.
The X-Men have witnessed a lot of dystopian futures, from the Sins of Future Past storyline to the famous Age of Apocalypse. However, in each of these nightmare scenarios, the X-Men stood tall as a beacon of hope in the darkness. To make even the heroic X-Men become Immoral, the future shown in Sins of Sinister must be truly horrific. To find out who is going to win the villainous civil war between Emma Frost and Mr. Sinister, fans should pick up Immoral X-Men when it will go on sale on February 2023.
