A secret camarilla of the world's brightest minds will take a leak their debut in January 12's X-Men Legends #10 - but you could say they're quite sinister.

Deadpool Centennial State-creator Fabian Nicieza returns to the X-Men franchise for a new-sprung story that introduces a radical of Marvel U thinkers called The Eighth Circle. It includes Professor X, Beast, Moira MacTaggert, Magneto, and Amanda Mueller... just also the forever-conniving Mister Sinister.

"It's ever fun to write Mr. Sinister, and the chance to broaden a storyline that never got full traction back in the sidereal day was cool," says Nicieza in the announcement.

Nicieza is referring to Mueller - AKA The Dark-skinned Womb - whom he introduced in his run on a Ploy series in the early '00s. This Eighth Circle was ne'er introduced then, but they are now - and are what Marvel describes as a mutant version of the Illuminati.

Nicieza is functioning on this one-off issue with Dan Jurgens, a experienced D.C. author/artist who is making his X-Men debut with X-Men Legends #10. Check out this preview of the issue:

Jurgens says when he was asked to draw the issue, atomic number 2 "couldn't maybe say No."

"After all, it's one of the few top drawer properties that I really harbour't worked on," he says. "The fact that it was written by my longtime pal up Fabian Nicieza cemented the deal. We've forever talked about working together but weren't able-bodied to ready it happen—until immediately!"

X-Men Legends #10 goes on sale on January 12.

Speaking of X-Men legends, Newsarama looks at the uncomparable X-Men creators ever.

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the first of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the risible book of account news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications managing director in 2003, I've been writing about inexperient amusing Bible titles, creative changes, and at times offering my perspective on important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Scorn many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of laughable books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (information technology's crazy to see that in writing) fourth dimension spent doing what I love most.
