Way Of X Omnibus

Nightcrawler takes the spotlight as Si Spurrier explores mutantkind’s Krakoan age!

On Krakoa, mutantkind has built a new Eden — but there are serpents in the garden. Snared by questions of death, law and love, only Nightcrawler can fight for the soul of Krakoa. Only he — and the curious crew he assembles — can help mutants defeat their inner darkness and find the Way of X! With Pixie on point, Juggernaut as a one-man riot squad and a cadre of fan favorites on call, Professor X’s son, Legion, hosts this unique team in the psychedelic mindspace called the Altar. But will David Haller succumb to his madness once again? Who is the Skinjacker possessing innocent mutants? Will Arakkii badass Weaponless Zsen be friend or foe? And why is Kurt Wagner growing horns? That won’t be the most surprising transformation coming for Nightcrawler — in this world or the one reshaped by Sinister! Plus: Kurt reunites with Mystique, as his definitive origin is revealed at last!
