Children of the Vault
The creators: Deniz Camp (20th Century Men) & Luca Maresca (Photon: Monica Rambeau)
The pitch: The Children of the Vault are a post-human species that have made trouble for the X-Men in the past. Back when Jonathan Hickman was still writing the main X-Men book, he started a subplot about the Children that’s since been running in the background of Gerry Duggan’s run, and it appears that things are now coming to a head during the Fall of X.
The four-part series will see Bishop and Cable team up to fight the Children after they’ve managed to break free from their prison. For those who’ve been interested in how the X-books have shined a light on Krakoan society, Camp said his book would bring with it the “brutal history, culture, prejudices, personalities, and politics” of the Children’s society. “All of these characters, with their competing visions for the future, are going to collide in a sci-fi story brimming with ‘big ideas,’” he teased.
Children of the Vault starts with its first issue on August 9.
