Marvel's August 26 comic slate puts Apocalypse back at the center of a new story, with Tomb of Apocalypse #1 sending him after Wolverine and Jubilee. The official list also includes 11 more new issues, five collections and a separate Marvel Unlimited slate.
Marvel published its August 26 comic preview on August 24. The print issues are scheduled for comic shops Wednesday, August 26.
Apocalypse Recruits Wolverine and Jubilee in Tomb of Apocalypse #1
Tomb of Apocalypse #1 follows Apocalypse after he turns from his earlier mission of mutant survival toward a new undertaking that requires Wolverine and Jubilee. Apocalypse, also known as En Sabah Nur, is one of Marvel's ancient mutant villains; Wolverine and Jubilee are longtime X-Men heroes with very different fighting styles and histories.
The week also moves toward DNX, a coming X-Men storyline centered on the X-Men's Alaska home base and a plot involving the X-Virus. That setup gives readers a clear entry point without requiring knowledge of every prior event.
