X-Men Daily Art: X-Men 190 and 191

 



 
 
So. X-Men 190 and 191 are full-on bonkers. Fonkers. Yes.

Kulan Gath, a dark wizard from Conan comics, is freed from a magic necklace and takes over Manhattan, transforming it into Dungeons and Dragons Land, changing the memories of everyone who enters the threshold. Some X-Men and Avengers are ensorceled to work for Gath. Others fight to dethrone him, again with no idea they are from a modern world. Spider-Man alone remembers, but he's the only one who speaks English so no one can understand him. Gath prevents the good magic users from working against him, so Strange and Selene cannot speak. Xavier and Caliban are smooshed into one creature to find Gath's enemies.
 
People die. Like DIE die. Spider-Man. Vision. Colossus. Rogue. Dead. But Strange and Illyana work together after Gath is defeated, to revert everyone back in time to right before the Gath spell began.
BUT they change history, allowing future Sentinel Nimrod to come into the new present and, by happenstance, killing the human vessel who allowed Gath to take power. And now he's rarin' to kill mutants.
 
Fonkers, I tell you.
