The end of an era for the X-Men! The original team, now called X-Factor,
takes center stage when Proteus returns from the grave. But when
Apocalypse strikes, infecting Cyclops' son Nathan with a deadly virus,
Cyclops must make a bitter sacrifice! And the current X-Men return to
Earth to find that Professor X's old foe the Shadow King has risen --
and taken over Muir Island! It will take X-Factor and the X-Men's
combined strength to triumph...and when the dust clears, the two teams
will become one! An uncanny new era begins as the reunited X-Men go back
to basics -- beginning with a deadly confrontation with Magneto and his
fanatical Acolytes!
