DNX, a five-issue comic book event series from superstar writer Jed MacKay and acclaimed artist Federico Vicentini co-starring the X-MEN and FANTASTIC FOUR, arrives in September.
The debut issue will be the latest Marvel comic available in TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS, each containing an exclusive cover not available for regular ordering.
New York, NY— April 30, 2026 — EVOLUTION IS CONTAGIOUS!
Announced earlier this month, DNX, a five-issue event series from Jed MacKay and Federico Vicentini, launches this September. MacKay’s acclaimed X-Men run on X-Men, including the recent Age of Revelation crossover, has led to this monumental saga that sees the X-Men and Fantastic Four join forces to prevent the Chairman, the misguided original Hank McCoy, from unleashing a virus that forcibly—and horribly—transforms humanity into mutants! Adding even more excitement to this latest mutant milestone, DNX #1 will be the next Marvel Comics launch available in TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors. Today, fans can check out all-new variant covers for DNX #1, both regular open-to-order covers and blind bag exclusives.
Covers revealed today include the latest piece by best-selling cover artist Artgerm, spotlighting TEMPER, the fiery young X-Man and one of the breakout stars of MacKay’s run. Artgerm’s cover will also be available as virgin variant cover. Both versions will be True Believers Blind Bag exclusives. Other variants revealed include a Hidden Gem Cover by the legendary Jim Lee; a terrifying vision of Magik by InHyuk Lee, also available as virgin variant cover; and an epic Blind Bag exclusive cover by Ken Lashley.
THE X-VIRUS UNLEASHED!
The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another’s throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: The X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major population area!
DNX #1 TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering. The main cover and regular open-to-order variant covers cannot be found in True Believers Blind Bags. See below for a list of the exclusive blind bag variant covers. In addition to those listed, fans can once again look forward to super rare exclusive covers by surprise contributors, including hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind sketch covers.
