Marvel Comics has signaled a pivotal moment for collectors and enthusiasts with the forthcoming finale of the DNX crossover, slated for release in November 2026. This climactic series not only wraps up crucial storylines but also heralds substantial changes for the X-Men under the stewardship of writer Jed Mackay.
As the event reaches its conclusion, the final issues promise intense confrontations, including a dramatic showdown between Cyclops and Beast—now the Chairman of the 3K organization. This arc is positioned to dramatically alter the trajectory of Mackay’s ongoing X-Men narrative.

The DNX series, launching in September, serves as a culmination of expansive mutant narratives and marks a significant turning point for Mackay’s tenure with the X-Men. It delves into the unsettling implications of 3K’s scheme to “make more mutants,” bringing both the X-Men and the Fantastic Four into a confrontation that raises stakes for both teams. Following Cyclops’ narrative arc that intertwined with time travel in the Age of Revelation, fans are eager to see how these developments challenge the cyclical nature of comic book storytelling.
As the dust settles, expectations are high for subsequent changes, including an all-new solo series that will be introduced in the wake of this event. Collectors should mark their calendars, as DNX #1 will be available in TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS, featuring exclusive covers that won’t be sold individually, launching on September 2.
