Plot
Collects Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis (2010) #1-5 and material from Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis Directors Cut (2010).
The superstar team of Warren Ellis and Kaare Andrews (SPIDER-MAN: REIGN) take the X-Men into the Heroic Age! Something's happening in the tiny East African city of Mbangwi. Something that requires immediate investigation. A newborn sprouts metal electrodes and explodes, taking out an entire hospital. Is this the first wave of mutant rebirth that the X-Men have been praying for - or something very, very different? Something sinister?
