The X-Men + Fantastic Four team up to save mankind from becoming mutants in ‘DNX’

Marvel’s next big X-Men event by Jed MacKay and Federico Vicentini begins in September.

Marvel has announced their next big mutant event, following the poorly received Age of Revelation event late last year. DNX, which will kick off in September, will spring from the pages of Revelation as Cyclops tries to prevent the Age of Revelation from happening, while the Chairman (aka an evil version of the Beast) wants to make it all come true. Their respective factions will clash, and the X-Men will reach out to the Fantastic Four for help.

Current X-Men scribe Jed MacKay will work with artist Federico Vicentini to bring DNX to life.

“DNX is the next big milestone event of our X-Men run,” MacKay said. “Age of Revelation showed the future, and DNX shows that future’s impact on the present! The X-Men and 3K are on a collision course that has been set since issue one—and only one will survive. And with the Fantastic Four joining the fray, this is going to be an event that will transform the X-Men dramatically.”

Penguin Random House officially announces Comics Giveaway Day for May 2

The first ever Comics Giveaway Day will coincide with next year’s Free Comic Book Day.

Comics distributor Penguin Random House has officially announced Comics Giveaway Day, their competitor/compliment to Free Comic Book Day, the annual comics event that is now owned by Universal Distribution.

Last week we learned that Universal Distribution and Lunar Distribution had teamed up to bring Free Comic Book Day back to comic shops in 2026, following the bankruptcy and dissolution of Diamond Comics Distributors. They announced they would offer free titles by the various publishers they distribute, including DC, Image Comics, Archie, Dynamite and more.

Missing from the list were any publishers that are now distributed by Penguin Random House, and now we know why — titles by Marvel, BOOM!, Dark Horse and others will be released on Comics Giveaway Day, which just so happens to fall on May 2 as well.

So, everyone wins, right? Free comics for everybody, even if some of them will have a different events log on them.
