Upcoming issues of X-MEN and CAPTAIN MARVEL will intersect as they both deal with the emerging threat of the BROOD!
The parasitic
predators known as the Brood have returned to the Marvel Universe in a big way
and their latest plan to infect the cosmos will be both Captain Marvel and the
X-Men’s biggest nightmare!
Currently unfolding in the pages of Kelly Thompson’s
acclaimed run of CAPTAIN MARVEL, Carol Danvers has taken to the stars to answer
a distress call, only to confront horrors at the hands of her vengeful old
enemies—the Brood! Luckily for Captain Marvel, she won’t be alone! Not only
will the story arc guest-star various X-Men including Rogue, Gambit, and
Wolverine, but Gerry Duggan’s ongoing X-MEN title will connect with CAPTAIN
MARVEL starting in February’s X-MEN #19. Joined by artist Stefano Caselli, the
arc will see the X-Men realizing that despite their efforts, the Brood are
still a major threat that needs to be put down quickly and permanently.
Titled “Revenge of the Brood” and “Lord of the Brood,” both
arcs represent a reunion of sorts as Captain Marvel and the X-Men fought
alongside eachother in the original Brood Saga by Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum
and Paul Smith. The iconic adventure changed Captain Marvel forever as she
unlocked her Binary form and saw the X-Men make some of their most intense
sacrifices. This latest war with the Brood will pack the same emotional punch
and once again, neither parties will walk away unscathed!
In “Lord of the Brood,” the X-Men get a distress call from
deep space and find that the galaxy’s Brood problem is not as solved as they’d
thought! When the X-Men’s close friend Broo became the Brood King, he gained
the ability to control the savage alien race he was both a part of and so
different from. Now he is experiencing his own nightmare scenario – the Brood
are killing his friends, and there is nothing he can do to stop it! Rogue Brood
factions have begun running wild, and it’s up to the X-Men to get to the bottom
of why!
In “Revenge of the Brood,” Carol Danvers is on an X-press
elevator to her own personal hell! And the Brood Empress is determined to
ensure the Captain and all of her friends make it to their destination.
Rescuing their team and getting out alive has always been the goal, but the
odds are more deeply stacked against her team than Carol can even imagine.
Overwhelmed and trapped in the Brood’s backyard, Captain Marvel and her team
are forced to sacrifice one of their own. But the Brood let Carol through their
clutches once before, and in so doing, created one of their worst enemies. They
won’t make that mistake again.
To mark the occasion, upcoming issues of both series will
have one giant connecting cover by Juan Frigeri that will run on CAPTAIN MARVEL
#46-48 and X-MEN #19-21. This new Captain Marvel/X-Men epic will then conclude
in CAPTAIN MARVEL #49 where both stories will converge in a galaxy-changing
finale!
“I have been wanting to write the Brood and have some X-Men
guest stars since we started this CAPTAIN MARVEL run in 2019!” Thompson told CBR in an recent
interview. “The Brood were off the table for a long time due to some
changes to their role in the Marvel Universe -- and that was true, a little, of
the X-Men too. So it's really exciting to have all of it coming together
finally in one story -- our biggest Captain Marvel story yet -- feels right,
y'know? It especially feels right because The Brood are truly [some] of Carol's
greatest nemeses. [Considering] how we've been pushing on her powers, her role
in the Marvel Universe, and her commitment to being a hero --it feels like
things all coming to a head.”
“The Brood are back, and they're worse than ever,” Duggan
explained. “The X-Men must make some hard choices about their pest control
services, and what about Broo, the former student at the X-Mansion, we thought
he was the Lord Of The Brood? The problems are galactic and it's all hands on
deck including Captain Marvel, Rogue, Gambit and Polaris. Check for parasites.”

galaxy’s greatest menace? Find out by picking up both CAPTAIN MARVEL and X-MEN
