Professor X allowed himself to be imprisoned for his crimes following the fall of Krakoa. However, the former X-Men leader will be forced to escape and go on the run this March in X-Manhunt. A new trailer from Marvel Comics reveals more details on the upcoming event.

The recent X-Men comics have largely focused on their own stories, with key heroes and teams going their own way. Most continue to work as superheroes, some seeking government sponsorship as others work independently. Others still are focusing on the task of educating the next generation of Mutants and helping them master their powers.
However, the X-Manhunt event will force these characters to confront the growing divide between them. It will also spark a conflict between Professor X and his students, whom feel betrayed by his recent actions. As such, it remains to be seen who will help him and who will move to recapture him or kill him.

“We’ve mostly been keeping the various groups of X-characters separated from one another as we set up the post-Krakoa landscape,” Executive Editor Tom Brevoort explained. “But it feels like now is the right time to send them crashing into one another. And who better to instigate this situation than the disgraced Professor X, who has intimate connections with almost all of our key players?”
