"Sins of Sinister" is a 2023comic bookcrossover storyline during theKrakoan Age published in theX-Men franchise of books byMarvel Comics. The event involves a dark future brought about byMister Sinister's corrupt machinations and his experiment in creating a batch ofMutants called Chimeras.
Sins of Sinister kick-offed with a one-shot written byKieron Gillen and artist Lucas Werneck.Immortal X-Men by Kieron Gillen,X-Men Red byAl Ewing andLegion of X bySi Spurrier were transformed into three limited series:Immoral X-Men,Storm & the Brotherhood of Mutants andNightcrawlers. The story was told across three different time periods: 10 years, 100 years and 1000 years in the future. The series' writers would then continue their current story plans after the finale one-shot,Sins of Sinister: Dominion.[1]
In August 2022, Marvel comics posted a teaser "S.O.S." for the next big X-Men crossover.[2] A later teaser revealed the crossover's official name,Sins of Sinister, and the involvement of Mister Sinister.[3][4] In the Next Big Thing panel at theNew York Comic-Con in October 2022, the X-Men epic is officially announced after months of teases. “Sinister's lurked around, being sinister for all the Krakoan Age. Eventually, he was going to make a play. This is it, and it's bigger than you can imagine, stretching across 1000 years of nightmares,” Gillen explained.[1]
Sinister's machinations will create a horrifying timeline that will extend into several other spin-off limited series, each running for three issues. InStorm & the Brotherhood of Mutants from writer Ewing, Storm leads a new Brotherhood of Arakko across the wrecked landscape of Mars.Nightcrawlers from writer Spurrier features Sinister's private army of chimera assassins. And inImmoral X-Men from writer Gillen, the X-Men are sworn to crush a world that adores and respects them.[1]
During theProfessing X: An X-Men Panel in theThought Bubble comic art festival, the writers talked about the upcoming event and showed off the designs of new characters appearing in the dark future including Wagnerine (a Chimera ofNightcrawler andWolverine), a newCaptain America whose DNA is mixed with those of Mister Sinister, Xible (a future version ofCable merged withXilo),Rasputin IV from Hickman'sPowers of X, Auntie Fortune (a Chimera of Nightcrawler andDomino), and Jon Ironfire.[5]
