TheX - Menreboot from Marvel Comics has call for reader to bear some seriouslyoutlandishideas , but the strangest of all may be that Apocalypse – the greatestX - Menvillain ever – is giving up his villainous , wild manner for goodness . To do what , you might ask ? To become a scholarly non-Christian priest . Seriously .

That bollock was correct rolling whenthe X - humans welcomed their worst villainsand mutant killers to their Modern homeland of Krakoa , offering a sweet offset . And to drive home the point , it was Charles Xavier himself who shake hands with Apocalypse , laud a truce . Now that Apocalypse is taking his smudge inthe newExcaliburcomicseries , writer Tini Howard is confirm his handshake with Xavier is no deceit at all . The X - Men may have a traitorin their thick , but it is n’t En Sabah Nur .

Howard put up her verbal description of the changed Apocalypse in an consultation withEW , evidently excited about the fib he will make possible in this new mutant geezerhood . Because after all , when the mutants have ascended to the prevailing species on the planet … what role will Apocalypse playthen ? Howard offers a tease of what ’s to come :

Dark X-Men in Marvel Comics' Age of Apocalypse

He ’s always been refer with the ascension of mutants and it ’s not that he feel as though his study is done now . It ’s quite the reverse ; it ’s that his workplace must change . He was a superior general when he had to be a general , and now that the fight has changed , his maneuver have change . We ’re gon na see an Revelation who ’s a bookman and is someone who is able-bodied to work for the greatness of mutantkind as a thinker , as an artist , as a priest . We ’ll see him in these roles we ’ve never look him in before .

I ’m very , very proud of what we ’re doing and where we ’re conk with Apocalypse . I ’m working very closely with Jonathan on what we think and sense about him and what his journey is . It ’s really interesting to give a lineament like that a journey . Whether it ’s a paladin ’s journey or whether he ’s Walter White will be something we ’ll see as it goes on . But he ’s contend for his house too .

Excalibur # 1will be available at your local risible book shop on October 30th , 2019 , or direct fromMarvel Comics .
