Sins of Sinister #1 seems to Sinister-ize even more X-Men

The new X-Men event story 'Sins of Sinister' in which the world is remade in the image of classic X-Men villain Mister Sinister (a la 1995's Age of Apocalypse) will kick off in January 25's Sins of Sinister #1.

Before current X-titles Immortal X-Men, X-Men Red, and Legion of X are put on hold for three months and relaunched as Immoral X-Men, Storm and the Brotherhood of Mutants, and Nightcrawlers, titles set within the timeline of Sins of Sinister (again Age of Apocalypse style) Sins of Sinister #1 sets the stage for the timeline shift.

The pages seem to imply that Sinister has infiltrated further mutants in some way, as he appears to be spawning a whole group of Cyclops clones he refers to as "my me's."

(Yes, it's all very weird as clone stuff tends to be - especially when Mister Sinister is involved).

They also give us our second glimpse of the seemingly Sinister-ized Xavier, but we'll have to wait till the full issue is released to gain any more real insight into how and why Xavier is apparently connected to Sinister.

Here's a gallery of the pages, along with the cover by Leinil Francis Yu:

Sins of Sinister #1 kicks off the event, which will run for three months across its three relaunched titles for nine issues in all, capped off by a finale one-shot titled Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1 in April.
