Announced last month, DNX, a five-issue event series from Jed MacKay and Federico Vicentini, launches this September. MacKay's acclaimed X-Men has led to this monumental saga, and the X-Men and Fantastic Four will join forces to prevent the Chairman, the misguided original Hank McCoy, from unleashing a virus that forcibly—and horribly—transforms humanity into mutants.
Adding even more excitement to this latest mutant milestone, DNX #1 will be the next Marvel Comics launch available in True Believers Blind Bags, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors.
Today, you can check out all-new variant covers for DNX #1, both regular open-to-order covers and blind bag exclusives. Today's reveals include a new piece by best-selling cover artist Artgerm, spotlighting Temper, the fiery young X-Man and one of the breakout stars of MacKay's run.
Other variants revealed include a Hidden Gem Cover by the legendary Jim Lee, a terrifying vision of Magik by InHyuk Lee, and an epic Blind Bag exclusive cover by Ken Lashley.
Here's the official description for DNX #1:
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!
