WEAPONS OF MASS MUTATION reaches the Brotherhood of Mutants as their base comes under siege from an army of Decepticons, in a new-reader friendly story from CHRIS YOST and MIKE CHOI!
• “YOU HAVE 2 HOURS TO SURRENDER OR THE BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS WILL BE ANNIHILATED”
• The Brotherhood of Mutants thought that they could spend New Year’s Eve without running into some serious trouble, due to Caleb currently being out of action and no other major threat on the horizon. They thought wrong. The good news is that they’re at full strength this time, with nobody off on a wild goose chase on the other side of the world.
• The bad news – their new base at the North Pole has been surrounded by Decepticons, hellbent on eliminating a supposed threat against their leader – Megatron. Hopelessly outnumbered, the Brotherhood are in serious trouble. How could their early warning signals not picked up the threat that may cost them their lives?
• Unless of course, there is more to this assault than meets the eye...

Are you ready to watch your favourite mutants killed off, one by one? But as Magik is about to work out, not everything is as it seems, and it isn’t long before she is presented with the question – Is any of this real? And if it isn’t – how do they awake from the nightmare that they've found themselves in?

DRUGS. The Brotherhood, on vacation in Vegas, have discovered something’s up at the casino that they’re at. The tables are being rigged and the owner is using its regular attendees to participate in putting a drug on the black market that will make those who want to become mutants become mutants – but only for a week’s period and then with disastrous consequences, as newest team member, the self-styled New Invincible Man (Who's not really sure if there's an old Invincible Man or not, he just likes the sound of the word "New"), is about to find out. However, the Invincible Man finds himself with one last chance of redemption when the Brotherhood need someone to beat the house at their own game, using him as a distraction whilst they split up to stop shipments of drugs - before they can get to their intended precipitants in Harlan County, Kentucky, where a man named Boyd Crowder is waiting for them. However, with the drugs in three different places across Vegas, and with them all being shipped at the same time, it's going to be a very hard task for the Brotherhood, as it's only a matter of time before The New Invincible Man finds out that he isn't as Invincible as he thought he was.

FRIEND AND FOE. Who knows the difference anymore? A simple conversation between the Lawman Raylan Givens and Scott Summers goes awry when a criminal organization with deep Anti Mutant roots attacks the restaurant, wanting Cyclops to turn around and head back home. Raylan understands where Scott's coming from, and is more inclined to trust him after they team up to stop a lynch mob and save a new mutant, the sister of the one who was killed in the last vicious attack, but Raylan has more pressing matters at hand - Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, is keeping the majority of the Lawmen busy and leaving The Brotherhood of Mutants to fend for themselves.

And at the same time, Rosalee has to deal with the new realities of an unfamiliar arrival, whilst nursing a child, in the form of the new Mayor, an enigmatic, entrancing man with many secrets - the mysterious Niklaus Mikaelson, who is an Original Vampire (from The Originals) - and the most likely suspect for the murders in the mines!

Elsewhere, Magik, Blink, Sunfire and Rebekah Mikealson may have fought off Boyd Crowder and his mercenaries but their base of operations is left vulnerable to another attack, particularly with the majority of the Brotherhood trapped in the dream-world.

With Freddy Krueger banished once more, The Brotherhood of Mutants turn their attention back to permanent nemesis Boyd Crowder, who has just come into a stack of new funds from some cursed gold. But the abduction of the gold has awakened beings as old as time itself – terrifying statues known as The Weeping Angels (Doctor Who), who have now set their sights on Crowder’s gang as they attempt to flee the city with their prize. Meanwhile the Brotherhood of Mutants, among their ranks Emma Frost, Alex and Scott Summers, attend the annual New Orleans Halloween Parade in order to try and find someone who has seen the status or knows that they exist. However, the latest recorded evidence of the Weeping Angels that they find is the 1970s… from people who have claimed to have been transported back in time from 2016. Their most recent sighting is someone who goes by and looks exactly like Cyclops – but Cyclops hasn’t been sent back in time yet, has he? Regardless, the one thing that the mutants need to do is to keep their eyes on the Angels and don’t blink… but that presents a big problem for a certain Mr. Scott Summers!

Boyd Crowder (Justified), the last survivor of his gang, decides to abandon the cursed gold and seek shelter with the Brotherhood of Mutants who are not too happy to see him. But the Weeping Angels (Doctor Who) aren’t done yet and are continuing to pursue Crowder through the city meaning that the Brotherhood have to make a choice about whether or not to protect their enemy from greater threat. But the enemy of their enemy is their friend so for now a mutual alliance is struck as Crowder has come up with a plan to take down the Angels – and that’s to make them all look at each other so they can’t move – as they can only move when nobody is watching them. He does have a plan to lure them together though, the cursed gold, which he abandoned in the bottom of a river. There’s just one problem – that river is on the other side of town and the Weeping Angels know that the Brotherhood will have to make it through the city to get to the plan, and they will have to do it without their Original Vampire (The Originals) allies who have been lured into a trap on the outskirts of town! Luckily for the Brotherhood they do have a distraction of a massive parade in New Orleans – meaning that there are plenty of ways for the team to try and avoid the coming of the Weeping Angels. But will all be able to make it to the end in one piece, or will they be sent back in time to join Scott Summers?

The Brotherhood of Mutants find themselves persecuted by the new human contingent that has occupied New Orleans and is determined to drive out the Mutants, launching an ambitious new Sentinel Project.

The Mutants may have to send Alex back to the past to save the Mayor, but the city has come under attack by another threat - advanced Sentinels, developed by Trask with the Mayor's knowledge, that represent a new challenge compared to what they have faced before. And there's also the matter of the Weeping Angels, which need to be stopped. A new year begins for the Brotherhood, and with it, new problems.

"TO SAVE THE FUTURE" Part Two of Four "THE CITY OF ANGELS"
Theme Song: Wang Chung - To Live and Die in L.A.
With the Summers brothers absent in the past and Magneto (See this month's X-Men: First Class) having joined them, Mystique, Blink and Sunfire find that the remaining Brotherhood of Mutants ranks are looking incredibly thin. Good news for them that Gambit has decided to show up to help boost their numbers! He also brings information on The Tempus Crew that have established themselves in New Orleans and a potential link to their origins in Los Angeles! It's time for the Brotherhood to head to The City of Angels, bringing an unlikely ally in Boyd Crowder (Justified) along with him, calling in on a favour that Boyd owes him as he attempts to navigate the criminal network in Los Angeles to find out more information on The Tempus Crew. However, Boyd is shocked to find his old frenemy US Marshall Raylan Givens in Los Angeles as well, and it turns out that the Tempus Crew are under investigation from multiple parties.
However, the mismatched group are about to learn that there's more than one meaning behind the name "The City of Angels", and it seems that no matter where they go, there's no escaping the wrath of The Weeping Angels (Doctor Who). But the Angels may have played their card too early and have revealed what they want in the process.
They desire more than anything, an Infinity Stone. And it's an artefact that just so happens to be the Tempus Crew's most prized possession. How it fell into their hands, they don't know. But one thing is certain, they know that they will stop at nothing to defend it.

"IT'S A FIDEL, FIDEL, FIDEL, FIDEL WORLD..."
In Cuba, Fidel Castro wakes up to find himself thrust into the Year 2017 where things have changed very much since he last breathed air in 1962, only a few seconds ago. After finding out what has happened to him and the current situation of mutants in New Orleans, he decides to head to the Free City for Mutants to spread his ideals in a city where anything goes. People initially don't take him seriously and he winds up as a radio DJ for a conspiracy talk show, but when he starts telling people what they want to hear, they come knocking at his door. The mutants themselves are starting to listen too, so when Castro preaches about the end of the world within the next few months, people are going to listen. And it's not just the Brotherhood that come knocking at Castro's door, with his former ally Magneto leading the charge, but it's also people from around the world, hunters, slayers and vampires alike, all lured to the Free City to see what Castro truly knows about the Day the World Went Away. It all depends on who can find an ancient artefact from the Hyborian Age first, rumoured to be The Pandora's Box, and in a city like New Orleans, you never know really who you can trust. Can the Brotherhood fight off against the worst mankind has to offer to protect their newfound home, or will they come to ever regret living in New Orleans in the first place?

The Mayor declares a city-wide lockdown, calling support for the National Guard following a failed coup by the over-ambitious Fidel Castro, who has tried to lead a revolution with his growing band of followers from his Radio Station. But while behind bars, Castro finds himself in the same jail cell as a follower of the Red Skull, who can get him a one-on-one audience with one of history's greatest evils. Meanwhile Scott Summers begins to question his role as leader of the Brotherhood whilst his brother Alex zeroes in on the location of Pandora's Box, the ancient artefact from the Hyborian Age that could lead to ruin for the entire world, knowing that he is not alone, and enemies are watching his every move. Alex and the Brotherhood may soon learn that getting to the box was the easy part. What comes next may well be their hardest task yet. And in the shadows, the magical community of New Orleans are planning a desperate gambit to save their city from the Red Skull - even if it means bringing it to its knees first in the form of a flood unlike anything this world has ever known before.

New Orleans erupts into a warzone as both sides, the mystics and the mutants, are caught in a battle that could wipe the city from the face of the Earth. With Martial Law declared and the city cut off by a military blockade authorised by an ill-prepared President Trump, the humans are reluctantly working with the Brotherhood to evacuate civilians from the city, but time is running out before the coming of the great flood that will sweep away the city. Alex Summers, thrust into an unexpected leadership role after Scott's departure from the Brotherhood of Mutants in the hour before the battle began. Can he keep the inflated egos of the Brotherhood of Mutants, such as Erik Lehnsherr - in check when he struggled before? Either way, there may be hope in the darkness yet - because someone from beyond the stars has come to save the Brotherhood in their hour of need, and take Pandora's Box to safety where it can never be touched again. The lightning strikes in New Orleans can only mean the arrival of one person, THOR - THE GOD OF THUNDER!
But time is running out and Pandora's Box has just gone missing again from right under the Brotherhood of Mutants' nose. Only this time, not even The Red Skull himself knows the answer to the Box's whereabouts. Both sides think the other has it - but in reality, none of them do. The box has fallen into the hands of the most unlikely person, America's Most Wanted - CAPTAIN AMERICA! But why Steve Rogers risk his own personal freedom to return to a country he has been exiled from its own people? It may have something to do with the mysterious Mr. Thunder, who has kept a secret hidden for so long, one that only now can be revealed, a secret that will have dramatic ramifications for the whole Marvel universe.

Theme Song: Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Twenty-Seven years after his first encounter with Pennywise the Dancing Clown, ERIK LEHNSHERR finds himself lured back to the small town where it all began, Derry, Maine. Erik this time has the Brotherhood of Mutants with him, but the now-adult kids who he worked with to defeat the Clown last time have failed to show, for whatever reason. And that’s probably a good thing, because this time, Pennywise isn’t going to hold anything back, and if the Brotherhood thought that New Orleans was challenging – they haven’t seen nothing yet! One by one, they start getting attacked by something that claims it has everything they desire. And for some of the younger Brotherhood recruits, tired of a life constantly on the run, PENNYWISE’s false promises may be to hard to ignore. Either way, regardless of Pennywise’s presence, The Brotherhood’s days may be numbered when they decide to take residence for the Christmas period at the abandoned hotel known only as The Overlook Hotel, a sister hotel with the same name – and a similar horrible past – to the one in the Rocky Mountains…

Theme Song: Yak - Alas Salvation
IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. Missing kids durning up around Derry, Maine - are causing more and more trouble around the city as public paranoia reaches a breaking point as the small town's parents begin to form a hate mob intent on storming the second Overlook Hotel and kicking the Brotherhood out of town. Rather than harm the townspeople, ALEX SUMMERS decides to turn himself into jail hoping he can sort himself out and calls an old lawyer friend for help only to find that he's currently busy in Canada (see why JIMMY MCGILL is busy in this month in X-23: UNLEASHED #6). It is here that Alex finds himself partnered up with a real murderer, who is in jail for a previous incident in the town - former HYDRA Agent CHRISTOPHER NICHOLSON, who once wore the Yellow Jacket! Without his suit and without protection, he's nothing much more than a common criminal. But soon Alex and Christopher may be forced to team up to face a greater evil that is manipulating their visions - in the form of PENNYWISE THE DANCING CLOWN.
Pennywise also has his eyes set on his old foe ERIK LEHNSHERR. But the mind is a tricky thing, and ERIK has forgotten much of the Clown's existence including how to defeat him. Luckily there is a high-tech, well-defended Abstergo building in Derry that is currently developing a new version of the Animus that allows people to explore their own personal history and relive memories first hand, which is just what Erik wants - so he enlists the aid of veteran Brotherhood member MAGIK, one-time Brotherhood members the STEPFORD CUCKOOS and former X-Factor members QUICKSILVER, JAMIE MADROX and POLARIS to help him break in given that the team is currently under strength following its splintering at the end of the incident in New Orleans and SCOTT SUMMERS' departure. This leaves SUNFIRE behind in the Overlook Hotel all alone - where he starts to fall victim for the whispering of its haunted habitants and the mysterious room 237, which shares a horrifying gateway back in time to the Overlook Hotel in 1980s Colorado, a few years before its destruction.

Despite this - but they still outnumber Sunfire five to one. But this isn’t the Sunfire they know – this is a twisted shadow of his former self, driven by a desire to kill.
• Meanwhile, MAGNETO, JAMIE MADROX, POLARIS and QUICKSILVER stage a break-out of an Abstergo high-tech security building. Armed with the tools and knowledge of how to defeat PENNYWISE, they head into the sewers below Derry – intent on destroying him once and for all. But will even the combined strength of these mutants be enough to defeat the face of fear itself?
• And finally, after calling in some favours to make the trip from Canada to Maine in record time – JIMMY MCGILL waltzes drunk into the police station which contains a de-powered ALEX SUMMERS and a Yellow-Jacket-less CHRISTOPHER NICHOLSON, intent on saving the day and freeing his old friends. But by now the anti-mutant mob has spiralled out of control into and into a frenzy, and time is running out before they take their first victim.

But that spell in secrecy won’t last long however as Alex wakes up one morning to find out that he – out of nowhere, has lost the use of his mutant powers completely. Yet in a startling turn of events – every single person on the planet is developing mutant powers of their own – some small, others major – prompting a massive panic as the world scrambles to figure out what is happening before things get too out of control. And then, out of nowhere – Abstergo and Trask Industries, bolstered by their recent merger – come up with a new solution that categorizes mutants into Threat Levels based on their powers, and locks away the dangerous ones. The Government forces this move through out of sheer desperation to regain some control on the situation – but will even this be enough to keep everything from spiralling hopelessly out of control?

Abstergo and Trask Industries start their rollout of mutant detainment camps on a country-wide scale, employing special sentinel services on every street corner to round up their would-be resistance. Desperate times call for desperate measures as Erik calls for a peace conference with Alex Summers in a bid to put aside their differences so the Brotherhood can deal with a world where everyone has powers. But Alex must determine why he doesn’t have any powers at all – and why, according to Trask/Abstergo records, on the entire planet, there is only one other person that doesn’t. His name is Dougie Jones, an ordinary Las Vegas insurance agent who’s wondering the same thing. At the conference, Esmee Cuckoo confronts her sisters on why she chose a different path to all of them for the first time, and Magik comes bearing news about some of their allies who have ended up on one of the camps. Alex decides to lead his team to rescue Dougie Jones from Abstergo’s Templar Agents – whilst Erik launches a ruthless raid of Trask’s prison complex to find the innocent children who have been locked up purely because they have powers. But the Sentinels are aware that he’s coming and storming the prison won’t be as easy as he thought.

Meanwhile, Erik and Magik find themselves recaptured and reunited with an old frenemy of Alex’s who is now apparently fallen in with the bad crowd once again – Christopher Nicholson (See Brotherhood of Mutants #36-40). However, Christopher needs help from Erik and Magik – as his own job is on the line. But why are Erik and Magik needed to interrogate a man known only as Dale Cooper – a man who shares a remarkable connection not only to Dougie Jones, but is also - down to the same name itself, the spitting image of a man who disappeared 27 years earlier?
