Publication history

The series is a sequel to the Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix (1994), and was written by Peter Milligan with pencils by John Paul Leon and inks by Klaus Janson.

Plot summary

The X-Men members Cyclops and Phoenix are brought to Victorian era England in the year 1859, where the scientist Nathaniel Essex, obsessed with Darwin's theory of evolution, encounters the centuries-old mutant Apocalypse who transforms him into Mister Sinister. [1]

Collected editions

A trade paperback was produced some time after the mini-series finished publication collecting it into one 96 page volume released in October 1997 (ISBN 0-7851-0556-5). However, it was produced during a period of economic decline for Marvel, and before trades had reached the popularity they would a few years later, and has thus been left out of print.

In other media

Television
  • The episode "Descent" of X-Men: The Animated Series details the origin of Mister Sinister and is loosely based on Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix miniseries.

Notes
  1. Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix #1-4 (June-September 1996)
gollark: Especially on the everything-is-glued phones.
gollark: Not very easily.
gollark: With a removable battery, not only can a dead battery be replaced, but you can manually swap in a charged battery if your existing one runs out.
gollark: Oh yes, micromanage battery use at great effort for a 30% benefit in longevity.
gollark: I definitely want to micromanage battery use. That is not annoying at all.
