Just read Age of X Universe #1 (well most of it anyway), very good very
interesting read, The story takes place in a world were the X-men never
existed, & mutants are being hunted to extinction, the few that are
left band together to make one last stand. However they are not the only
ones banding together, Iron man, Capt. America, Hulk, Sue Storm, Ghost
Rider, & other Marvel non-mutant heroes have formed a team under
the command of General Castle, to wipe out mutant kind. The war on
mutant kind started after intermarriage laws passed, and mutants decided
to march on congress, then one riot cop decides to raise his baton and
the shit hits the fan, hundreds of people end up dying in retaliation. A
war begins, the Phoenix snubs surrender and in a fit of rage raises the
entire city of Albany, which leads to the death of her and 2,000
soldiers.
Tony Stark has been fused to the Iron Man armor permanently after he was infected with a mutant derived "tech-virus" a decade ago. Bruce Banner's extreme hatred for the mutants stems from a experiment gone wrong, ten yrs. ago he constructed a device to "cure" the mutants and after acquiring several mutant volunteers he was ready to start the machine only for one of the mutants to panic , while Banner was still calibrating the machine, causing the machine to misfire in the gamma spectrum, changing him into the Hulk. For 3 mins. he lost all control, and slaughtered his best friend, several colleagues, & commanders, and his fiance, but that wasn't even the worst of it, the blast tore his mutant volunteers apart, and driving their atoms beneath the flesh of Banner, leaving him feeling "unclean" for the rest of his life. Sue only joined Capt. America team after the rest of the Fantastic 4 was arrested for treason after they were found to be harboring mutants, she doesn't agree that all mutant kind should be exterminated, but controlled by other means. It's a very good story, and the arc actually spreads through the other a couple other X books as well (X-men: Legacy & New Mutants), I'm only reading the 2 issue mini for now, but as soon as the tpb is released I'll be picking that up as I find this story to be one of the most intriguing arcs I've read since Civil War. In what was a light week for me this is easily my pick of the week.
