About this episode

The episode discusses the significant events in X-Men comics, including the death of Colossus and the return of Excalibur.

The Dream is Dead. Mystique and her Brotherhood mount one of the biggest attacks of their career – an attack on Muir Island, set to spread a human variant of the Legacy Virus. The battle sees Toad Post, Sabretooth, and Pyro work to kill Senator Kelly, yet their plan fails – and results in the death of Moira & the depowering of Rahne. Yet, Senator Kelly still manages to be assassinated – and that’s just the start. The end of the Legacy Virus, the death of Colossus, the departure of Kitty Pryde – the plans for the next ten years of X-Men are put in play here! Plus, a return to Excalibur that will be further explored in the pages of the Avengers, Decimation, & HoXPoX!
