The X-Men Animated Universes Collide, An Origins-Swapped Fantastic Four And Hulk Throw Down, And More In Upcoming Incursions One-Shots

[JayC]

TIME RUNS OUT!

It was the catastrophe that led to the end of both the Ultimate and Marvel Universes and birthed the conflict known as Secret Wars, but not every story of those dark days has been told... Starting in November, five all-new INCURSIONS one-shots reveal the world-destroying battles that erupted across the Marvel multiverse and led into Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s Secret Wars, where iconic heroes and villains from wildly different realities collided—with only one universe able to survive.

The series kicks off in November with X-MEN: INCURSIONS #1 by Alex Paknadel and Jim Towe, a dramatic confrontation between two legendary mutant timelines—Days of Future Past and House of M!

Then, in December, SPIDER-MAN: INCURSIONS #1 by Christos Gage and Ron Lim follows two of the Spider-Verse’s most iconic web-slingers, Spider-Gwen and Spider-Girl, in a fight against each other to save their respective homes; and FANTASTIC FOUR: INCURSIONS #1 by Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, and Paco Medina introduces two wild takes on Marvel’s First Family and the Strongest There Is.

In January, X-MEN '92: INCURSIONS #1 by Christopher Yost, Craig Kyle and Salva Espin delivers the showdown X-Fans have imagined—and debated—for decades as the iconic X-Men ’92 lineup face off against the mutant teen heroes of the beloved 2000s animated series X-Men: Evolution! Closing out the series with a banger, AVENGERS: INCURSIONS #1 by Al Ewing and Fran Mariscal Mancilla sends the ruthless villains of Time Runs Out—Thanos and his Cabal—crashing into the Silver Age to wreak havoc against the bright-eyed original Avengers lineup!

Who will be left standing?

The other is an Earth ruled by Thanos and the monstrous villains of the Cabal. It’s the ultimate heroes vs. the ultimate villains! Can these Avengers defeat a group of foes at the heart of Secret Wars, or were they always doomed from the start?

Hickman's Ultimates/Fantastic Four/FF/Avengers/Secret Wars run (hard not to view it as one big story) is one of my favorite things in comics, so it's hard not to love the idea of seeing more from that era.  Just as long as they don't pull their punches or pull any retcon nonsense.  These worlds were all obliterated in the end. Everyone died. Embrace that desperation and they can tell some really captivating stories.

It's a shame these are part of the Time Runs Out storyline, these could have been some fun stories without the whole multiverse dying.

Seeing X-Men Evolution come back is amazing, even if it's just in the form of one shot issue, especially when it's written by Yost,  covers also go pretty hard.
