Written by Chris Claremont with art by John Byrne, the story presents a dystopian future where mutants are hunted by Sentinels, and the present-day X-Men must prevent this timeline from coming to pass. It also includes the related tale from Uncanny X-Men Annual #4, featuring the first appearance of Rachel Summers.
In "Days of Future Past," the X-Men face a chilling vision of a dystopian future as the Brotherhood strikes against Senator Kelly, with Kitty Pryde’s future self briefly inhabiting her present body to guide them. Written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, with art by Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this pivotal issue blends time-bending urgency with emotional stakes, all rendered in vivid colors by Glynis Wein and sharp lettering by Tom Orzechowski. The cover by Jackson Guice and Scott Williams captures the moment’s tension, setting the stage for a story that reshapes the mutant legacy.
In a grim future where mutants are hunted and the X-Men are gone, Rachel Summers sends Kitty Pryde back from 2013 to warn her past self and the X-Men—Professor X, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Angel, Nightcrawler, and others—that the New Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, led by Mystique and Destiny, will assassinate Senator Kelly, triggering a catastrophic chain of events. With time running out and the Sentinels closing in, Kitty must convince her younger teammates to change history before the world is lost to fear and genocide.
In "Mind out of Time," Kitty Pryde’s consciousness is thrust into the future, where she encounters her older self and the dire consequences of a world shaped by fear and persecution. With the help of her past teammates and the unexpected presence of her future self, the X-Men must stop the New Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from assassinating Senator Kelly—before the timeline collapses entirely.
