Earlier this year, Jonathan Hickman revitalized the X-Men franchise in HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X, ushering in a new age of stories for mutantkind. Dawn of X kept the momentum going with six exciting launches, each exploring the X-Men�s new status quo in distinct ways, and this March, this bold era continues with the most unexpected lineup ever seen in an X-Men title� Introducing the new HELLIONS!

When the X-Men invited all mutants to Krakoa, they meant ALL mutants, even forgiving the past sins of some of their fiercest enemies. Chief among them was Mister Sinister who now tasks himself with finding purpose for mutantkind�s most dangerous outcasts: Wild Child, Nanny, Orphan Maker, Empath, and Scalphunter! Also on hand to do Sinister�s dirty work will be X-Men favorites Psylocke and Havok! Will they be able keep these murderous baddies in line or will the team�s deadly missions have them succumb to their own sinister natures?

Taking us along for this twisted ride will be writer Zeb Wells (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, NEW MUTANTS). No stranger to dark humor and in-depth character studies, Zeb is the perfect guide into the unhinged minds that round out this cast. �I can't believe I get a chance to play in the sandbox Jonathan Hickman and company have so brilliantly created,� says Wells. �For my money it's the most exciting game in town and I can't wait to let this merry band of psychopaths loose in it.�

Joining him on this journey will be artist Stephen Segovia who�s made a name for himself in high octane books like CONTAGION and SUPERIOR CARNAGE. "I am HUGE fan of Zeb Wells' work. The moment I read his HELLIONS pitch, I was blown away,� says Segovia. �It's a new level of mutant stories and I was overjoyed and pumped to begin drawing it immediately. I can't wait for you guys to see the magic we're cooking up and I promise you'll enjoy the ride!"

If you think the book�s lineup is shocking, you ain�t seen nothing yet! Brace yourselves for more jaw dropping revelations and twists when HELLIONS #1 hit stands in March!

Fallen Angels writer Bryane Hill has confirmed that his book will evolve into Hellions, so it seems FA is done with issue #6.

Good news for your comic budget!

Fallen Angels writer Bryane Hill has confirmed that his book will evolve into Hellions, so it seems FA is done with issue #6. Doesn't seem like a bad thing, Zeb Wells has a good reputation, andI haven't heard many good things about Hill and Fallen Angels seemed to be the black sheep of Dawn of X. Plus,Stephen Segovia is a hundred times better thanSzymon Kudranski.

Betsy's one of my favourites too, but I find it deeplyweird that Kwannon is going by Psylocke now.I feel like if I were Kwannon, and I'd just gotten my body back after years of someone else wearing it,I'd want to distance myselffrom that person's name and costume as much as possible.

This does look like the xmen version of the thunderbolts / suicide squad

Yeah, that would certainly make for a very troublesome, weird, and highly dysfunctional combination. Like...Wild Child is practically the only one there besides Havok or Psylocke that have ever really evidenced much in the way of redeeming qualities (and that depends entirely on how feral he is or isn't at any given moment).And even Psylocke is kind of a strange one now, since it's not Betsy but rather Kwannon, who was a Hand Assassin before her body got hijacked.I'm sure Havok's gonna be just thrilled to work with Sinister....
