In the wake of the mighty villain Onslaught’s defeat, the X-Men battle on in a world mourning its heroes, who were seemingly destroyed by Onslaught!

Onslaught is defeated! The X-Men have survived their greatest test — but Professor X has been arrested and mutant prejudice is at an all-time high. Cannonball and Iceman infiltrate Graydon Creed’s anti-mutant presidential campaign, but will their investigation put Iceman’s family in the crosshairs? And what happens when Creed is targeted for death? As the bigoted Friends of Humanity assault mutants worldwide, the X-Men must deal with their newest teammate: Joseph, the amnesiac Magneto! Plus: With the Fantastic Four presumed dead in Onslaught’s attack, can the X-Men help the orphaned Franklin Richards? The Brotherhood strike — with Cyclops’ brother Havok leading the villains! Joseph wrestles with Magneto’s bloody legacy! Bishop’s past is finally revealed! Beast ties up loose ends! And can Juggernaut escape the crimson prison in which Onslaught trapped him?
