In the present, the anti-mutant extremists Orchis have shattered the mutant nation of Krakoa and are purging the last mutants from Earth.

Ten years into the future, the A.I. supremacists behind Orchis are about to destroy the whole world and ascend to digital godhood. Only the last remaining X-Men can stop them.

Behind the scenes, between the timelines, the Dominion Enigma - a world-devouring A.I. god - already exists. Plans laid a century ago have already succeeded.

A small band of mutants are going to try to change the future, save the world and defeat an enemy that can reach through time itself. They're going to need a very good plan.

The first issue was released January 10, 2024.
