And when these junior X-Men stand up to the Brotherhood of Mutant Bullies in a murderous game show produced by Mojo and Arcade, will they be outdone by new kids on the block - or will one of their number dissolve back into the neoplasm from which they were formed? Plus: a gallery of Skottie Young's ever-adorable Marvel NOW! variant covers!
