by Olly MacNamee
As the X-Men and Women of Krakoa face down seemingly dire odds, we get a rather busy week for the merry Marvel mutants. Although there’s not much to be merry about if you are a mutant in the Marvel comic book universe.
There’s five new comic books out this Wednesday 25th October and all previewed below:

Realm of X #3
NO GODS, ONLY MUTANTS!
The date of the prophecy looms ahead, and despite their best efforts, the Vanir and their mutant protectors are ill-equipped to meet their destiny. Meanwhile, their enemy grows ever stronger, sinking their claws deeper into the misguided Curse. Lost and at the end of her rope, Dani beseeches her former friends in Asgard for help – but will reinforcements arrive in time to turn the tide, or have they truly been abandoned to their fate?

Jean Grey #3
THE ONE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
Nearly 35 years later, Louise Simonson returns to the events of Inferno! One of the greatest battles in Marvel Comics history, Jean Grey vs. Madelyne Pryor reshaped the world of the X-Men and set bombs that are still going off today. But Jean is not the woman she used to be…and neither is the Phoenix power that has so manipulated both her and her clone.
