KADO – Never Lost A Gun Fight (Allegedly)

Boston-Based Lyricist Hundred Round Kado Releases Never Lost A Gun Fight (Allegedly) a brick-laced bar-for-bar symphony of cohesive hood poetry

There is a throwback quality to Boston-based lyricist Hundred Round Kado whose name means “gift” in his native language, Haitian Creole. He embodies a revolutionary and emotionally raw spirit reminiscent of the Golden Age of hiphop; aggressiveness mixed with deep introspection. However the emerging underground MC, the byproduct of systemic racism, violence and poverty, was heavily influenced by trap music (Gucci, Jeezy, T.I., Boosie, ZRo, Playa Fly). This versatility is a testament to his superpower – being able to articulate his experiences into words without creative compromise.

At 32 years-old, Hundred Round Kado has spent one-third of his existence behind bars yet his passion for rap has never wavered; if anything, it has intensified. The evidence can be found on his latest body of work, Never Lost A Gun Fight (Allegedly). Artfully executed, Hundred Round Kado 11th release is a tightly-wrapped 14-song tracklist with varied moods and masterfully narrated by Charlie Masheen who shines seamlessly. The title single is cathartic ghetto gospel that opens with Masheen’s thought-provoking spoken word laying the energetic groundwork for Hundred Round Kado to spit his soul baring truths over a sparse soundscape. On records like “Gratitude,” “Dead Person” and “9 And A Nina,” there’s a soulful rap&b vibe as the MC flawlessly flows atop melodic basslines, while cuts like “Boolin In The Kut” and “Bring Your Skale” find Hundred Round Kado showcasing his ability for cinematic storytelling. Each track is thorough enough to stand on its own yet as a whole, Never Lost A Gun Fight (Allegedly) is a brick-laced bar-for-bar symphony of cohesive hood poetry. It took over a decade of growth; highs and lows, lock ups and freedom, death and life for Hundred Round Kado to produce the autobiographical content found on the project. From subject matter ranging from legal woes and street politics to relationship struggles and spiritual breakthroughs, Hundred Round Kado’s young OG reputation was earned. “I don’t rap, I make my life rhyme,” says Kado about why he makes music.

Over the last few months, Hundred Round Kado has managed to drop back-to-back music videos for tracks from Never Lost A Gunfight (Allegedly), all while being confined to house arrest. The ability to hone in on the art and focus is seen in the outcome of the visuals; they don’t follow conventional scripts. In the video for the single “Dededede,” the dynamic rapper shows himself as somewhat of a bibliophile as the camera pans across his bedroom bookshelf showcasing the works of literary icons like Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler and Zora Neale Hurston. This collection of female authors might seem somewhat of an anomaly for a gang member currently out on bail while awaiting trail for a gun charge (allegedly), but Hundred Round Kado is a rare breed.

On the strength of personal and professional respect, multi-Grammy winning artist Malik Yusef introduced Hundred Round Kado to Roc Nation artist Vic Mensa when he was on the 4:44 Tour with Jay Z in 2017. The connection proved to be mutually invaluable. “Hundred Round Kado is one of the most talented lyricists I know,” says Mensa. “The elite level of his wordplay is probably only trumped by the gravity of his story, which is literally breathtaking; born in federal prison, it’s a miracle he’s still alive and has been able to transmute his pain into passion. Kado really held me down in some tough times when I had a lot of people out for me, but it wasn’t until 2021 when he was locked up facing life that our relationship became what it is today. In those 8-9 months, I sent him nearly 40 books ranging from James Baldwin to Eckhart Tolle and saw this miraculous transformation take place in him as he really began to harness his innate power to build, as opposed to destroy. A lot of these verses he spit for me when he was doing his time and it always gave me inspiration to go harder.”

Known as the Godfather of New England, Hundred Round Kado has a head for entrepreneurship and a heart for service. The strategic businessman has a portfolio of investments alongside his astute partner Alabama Jones that encompass a barbershop, hair salon, clothing store, studio and art gallery. Living up to the meaning of his name, Kado is truly a gift. A marginalized outsider who became an insider against all odds, including a 20 year history within the criminal justice system, the intelligent artist doesn’t know what his future holds. However, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and creatively-speaking, he’s free.

RUBY RED RIMS

In collaboration with Harris Reed, the acclaimed fashion designer known for challenging expectations, Lexus has reimagined an icon from “The Wizard of Oz” – Dorothy’s ruby red slippers. “Ruby Red Rims” were unveiled last night at W Magazine’s star-studded 50th anniversary party in New York.

Under license from Warner Bros. Consumer Products, the concept celebrates the automaker’s daring redesign of its bestselling, most iconic vehicle, the all-new 2023 Lexus RX. It is an extension of the vehicle’s launch campaign that reminds us to never lose our edge with a modern interpretation of one of the most celebrated films of all time. What if, in “The Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy had ignored the advice to “follow the yellow brick road” and took the road less traveled instead?

With the “Ruby Red Rims,” Harris Reed and Lexus present the RX as the ultimate vehicle for inspiring drivers to veer off of the beaten path. As the official vehicle of the W 50th anniversary party, the “Ruby Red Rims” RX was stationed at the event’s entrance, greeting the fashion icons, celebrities and luminaries who have graced W’s cover through the decades, and setting the tone for the 70s-themed bash.

“As a gender fluid designer, I’ve always been fueled and inspired by choosing the path less traveled,” said Harris Reed. “With the bold new design of the Lexus RX and the cinematic Hollywood classic, “The Wizard of Oz,” I took inspiration from the literal interpretation of choosing your own path and pursuing a new journey down the red brick road, with a nod to the film’s iconic ruby slippers and my own designs.”

In creating the “Ruby Red Rims,” Reed took inspiration from two of the signature hats in his recent Spring 2023 ready-to-wear collection. The backs of the rims are made of solid aluminum and feature gloss-sealed glitter. In the center sits the ruby core and Lexus logo, embedded in a polished ruby red color, and powered by LED lights that bring them to life. Fins reveal the ruby red color from different angles, creating a magical moment that celebrates the iconic power of the shoes and the rims. A dramatic color change signifies the transition between worlds, immersing viewers in the journey.

“With ‘The Wizard of Oz’ as a foundation for our all-new RX launch spot, we were excited about the possibilities of connecting our wheels to Dorothy’s ruby red slippers. The final design and thoughtful interpretation of the “Ruby Red Rims” far exceeded our expectations,” said Vinay Shahani, vice president, Lexus marketing. “We are grateful for the incomparable, trailblazing designer, Harris Reed, who helped us reimagine the ruby slipper in the most striking way for W’s milestone 50th celebration.”

The ”Ruby Red Rims” RX will make additional appearances throughout the country later this year and next. For more information on the 2023 RX, visit www.lexus.com/newRX.

LOZEAK – XO

With a growing global fanbase, London-based artist lozeak today released her addictive new alt-pop single “XO” – available on all streaming services. “XO” showcases lozeak’s talent for writing infectious, alt-pop anthems that are as diverse as her musical influences – everything from Hole, Kasabian, and Radiohead, to Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, and Sugababes. The track was co-written with Jason Gil (Katy Perry, Doja Cat, Bebe Rexha, Lil Uzi Vert) and is the latest example of how lozeak is leading a new wave of British artists who are shaping the contemporary sound of emo.

lozeak has already cultivated a huge online (over 611k followers and 48 million likes on TikTok alone) with her debut singles being streamed over 3.7 million times to date. Her music is winning over famous fans, with Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes, Radio 1’s Jack Saunders and Frank Carter all championing her sound (with both Oli and Jack recently inviting her to perform at their respective club nights). Tastemaker publications like Dazed, Rock Sound, Stylist, and Wonderland have also tipped her as an artist to watch.

The story of lozeak starts in 2003 in Norwich with two music-obsessed parents blasting drum and bass awaiting the birth of their second child in an attempt to imbue rhythm and a flare for music into her DNA. It worked. A childhood spent exploring the sounds of Luther Vandross, Madonna, and Amy Winehouse gave way to her teenage years when she transitioned to artists like Avril Lavigne, Kehlani and Radiohead – inspiring her grungy, rock-pop edge of today. With a huge online fanbase eagerly awaiting her next move, she is quickly establishing herself as an artist on the rise.

aArousr vs Porn Star Sites

Which One is Best for Phone Sexts?

When you’re in the mood for some hot and sexy phone sex then you have a lot of options to choose from. It seems like there are more companies offering it than there could ever be horny women to provide it. Of course, the kind of time you have is always going to depend on who you’re talking to. If you end up with the wrong girl, then you’re never going to be able to enjoy yourself.

Are Porn Star Sites Good for Sexting or Phone Calls?

Real phone sex girls love to share fantasies
Porn star sites offer, but don’t deliver
The stars want to sell their content and get tips
The girls will never respond to your messages
Expensive credits to buy
Arousr has real phonesex girls ready for conversations

1. Real phone sex girls love to share fantasies

A good phone sex girl is going to be vocal and comfortable with talking about her fantasies. She’s also going to have to be ready and willing to let you hear her most intimate moments as she brings herself to orgasm while you listen. Not every girl you talk to is going to be willing to do all of that. You really need to be on the right site and talking to the right girls to have the adult fun that you’re seeking out.

2. Porn star sites offer, but don’t deliver

If you’re looking for one place to get all of your phone sex needs satisfied, then you’re most likely going to come across Porn star sites first. This is where most people go to have their fun. There’s a problem with it, though. Even though the site promises you a lot of fun, it never actually delivers on it. That’s because the girls who provide the phone sex have no real reason to put any effort into it. You’ll see right away that the women of this site are called porn stars. That’s a clue as to how the site actually operates.

3. The stars want to sell their content and get tips

The women here are only out to make money with their bodies. They never put any extra effort into what they’re doing. They also never have to show you a good time. They make most of their money by selling videos and that’s pretty much it. That’s why any person you talk to is going to spend all of her time trying to upsell you. If you’re not buying her videos, then she’s not going to want to have anything to do with you. Usually they will text you in between on these sites and ask you to tip them extravagantly. And what to expect more? Unusual hidden charges appearing in your credit card account and multiple charges to numerous porn sites.

4. The girls will never respond to your messages

The biggest problem with Porn star sites is the fact that you have to pay to send every single message. That would be fine if they actually led to anything, but they don’t. Almost all of the messages that you pay to send out are going to get totally ignored. The girls simply have no motivation to talk to anyone on a real time basis. They only log onto the site when they need money and that’s about it. Any message that you actually get back is going to be a mass email sent out to all of the email addresses that the girls have. That’s never going to be a good time for you.

5. Expensive credits to buy

You could sign up to any other site and get mass emails sent to you for free. You have to pay to send your messages here and the only thing you get in return is a generic email that’s only asking you to give the girl even more money. It’s not a good site and you’re never going to have a good time when you use it. If you want to have actual fun, then you’re going to have to switch it up entirely. In that case what we can recommend to you is to go for real phonesex at arousr.com. It’s a dedicated sexchat site that offers free sexting, phone sex and video chat at an affordable rate.

6. Arousr has real phonesex girls ready for conversations

If you’re actually after a night that you can enjoy, then you have to be on Arousr. This is a site that’s filled with girls who actually want to play around with you. They don’t have anything to sell and your messages are never going to go unanswered. When you see a girl is live on the site, you can be sure that she’s horny and in the mood to have an orgasm over the phone. It’s the only reason for them to login in the first place. They’re just regular women who love to have phone sex and it really doesn’t get any better than that when you’re in the mood. All you have to do is pick the girl you want to play around with and send her a message. She wants you to get her off and she’s going to be willing to do anything it takes to make that happen. All you have to do is try it once and you’re going to see the major difference that the right site can make for you. It’s the best phone sex that you’ll ever get to enjoy.

LIL YACHTY – POLAND

Lil Yachty has officially released his internet-toppling, viral hit “Poland.” The standalone track has quickly taken the world by storm, with Yachty’s frank yet infectious hook inspiring an outpouring of media coverage, memes, fan-created covers, and even renaissance-style artwork of his storied voyage to Poland. With a run time of only 1:23, Yachty proves he doesn’t need much time to craft an inventive, ascendant, and addictive earworm.

To accompany the release, Yachty joined forces with director Cole Bennett for a new music video.

ABOUT LIL YACHTY

Haunted Opera House

It is “spooky season” and nobody can resist a good ghost story this time of year, especially one that recently caught the attention of a group of fashionistas. STAAR Theatre at Antoinette Hall is situated in a town square on the margins of Nashville in Pulaski, Tennessee, USA. Antoinette Hall is the oldest surviving opera house in Tennessee and one of the oldest in the United States…and also one of the most haunted. The theatre has hosted many fine traveling entertainers, local productions and other events over the years. After a massive fire destroyed most of the town of Pulaski in the 1800s, a local man named Mr. Angenol Cox announced that he would be constructing a grand hall on the east side of the square replacing a large portion of the burned area. Named after Mr. Cox’s wife, Antoinette Hall opened on Christmas of 1868.

Reports from the current opera house executive director, Tammy Pierchoski, show that groups and individuals have experienced cold spots, disembodied voices, shadow figures, equipment interaction, EVP’s, footsteps, batteries being drained, people have been made physically sick to the point of vomiting, people have been scratched, black mist seen, a piano playing on its own, smells of flowers, the feeling of your energy being drained, feelings of being watched and being touched by unseen hands.

When fashion designer, Tess Mann, with Tess Mann Haute Couture and Couture by Tess caught wind of these ghostly stories, she immediately wanted to plan a hauntingly romantic photo shoot to bring awareness to Antoinette Hall’s current restoration project. The two-story Second Empire building is owned by Southern Tennessee Area Arts Repertory (STAAR), a 501c3 nonprofit. The Antoinette Hall Preservation Society, a STAAR companion organization, has launched a major fundraising effort, which supports an extensive stabilization and restoration project. The ultimate goal is to have the STAAR Theatre serve as a regional multicultural arts center.

During the planning process of this photo shoot production, Ukraine was devastated by the invasion of their beloved country. The styling team felt the right thing to do was show support for their country and use several beautiful Ukrainian wedding dress designs in the photoshoot.

The architectural project to restore Antoinette Hall is estimated at $12-15 million dollars in order to preserve its historic beauty and regain its function as a performing arts center. Fashion designer and bridal gown store owner, Tess Mann, has committed to donate $100 from every purchase of her Couture By Tess trademark label, and 5% of her boutique’s sales from selected bridal gowns sold such as Randy Fenoli Bridal and Robert Bullock Bride. This donation period begins January 1, 2023 and will run through December 31, 2024.

One thing’s for certain, the spirits that haunt Antoinette Hall like their home. Would be a pity to have a bunch of homeless ghosts running around Pulaski, Tennessee, haunting the community. The philanthropic efforts of this creative team never ends.

Tour ATL w/ Fly Guy DC in Lexus NX

Watch Radio Host Fly Guy DC and the 2022 Lexus NX: Atlanta Lifestyle Tour HERE.

Welcome to A-Town with cultural influencer and social advocate Fly Guy DC of Streetz 94.5 to explore the various levels of the broadcast specialist’s success. He gave Automotive Rhythms comprehensive insight into his lifestyle of entertainment, music, sports, and fashion while profiling Atlanta landmarks from the cockpit of the all-new, next-level 2022 Lexus NX 350 F Sport. Let’s ride.

We connected with Fly Guy DC while he was wrapping up Streetz 94.5 on-air duties before hitting the urban streets of Atlanta to explore the culture. Deeply rooted in everything sensational, from sneakers and fashion to hip hop artists passing through town, the radio and TV personality was enamored with the Redline Lexus when we handed him the keys for the vibrant weekend. Most known for his ATL nightlife crowd control and primetime role as an on-air radio personality, Fly Guy DC has captured the culture with his charismatic energy, quick wit, and endearing professionalism. In addition, his hosting abilities have captivated crowds of over 50,000 attendees, including community initiatives, stadium events, college homecomings, and Fortune 500 exhibitions. Fly Guy DC continues to expand his repertoire on various networks including BET, MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, and REVOLT TV.

Fly Guy DC of Streetz 94.5 in Atlanta tour with Lexus NX via 360 MAGAZINE.

We began our Saturday afternoon at the radio station, where the influential millennial finished his set before jumping into the Japanese luxury SUV. The 2022 NX is blessed with an attention-grabbing spindle grille, LED headlights, LED “blade” taillamps, and F-Sport styling including Blacked-out 20-in alloy rims. And throughout the tour, the music enthusiast seamlessly connected his iPhone using Wireless Apple CarPlay to chill out to Streetz 94.5 FM vibes through the 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium Audio system.

In Georgia’s busy and sprawling city, you can visit an array of bucket list attractions. A few places consist of SkyView Atlanta (a 20-story Ferris wheel in Centennial Park); historic Piedmont Park which inspires healthier lifestyles; the Tabernacle concert hall, originally opened in 1911; Tyler Perry Studios; the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, Atlanta’s top tourist destination; the home of the Atlanta Falcons; and Brave‘s Stadium to watch Ronald Acuna Junior hit homers out of the park.

We cruised methodically through the busy quarters as onlookers glanced at the sporty vibes of our ride. He appreciated the turbo’s efficient power whenever we were en route. The NX F-Sport was chill when it needed to be and ready to rock when Fly Guy DC had an appointment to make. Additionally, he revels in newfangled technology for entertainment like the 14″ touchscreen and Lexus Interface. It uses cloud-based connectivity and a “Hey Lexus” voice assistant to satisfy driver requests. More importantly, wireless phone charging is a must since Fly Guy DC has too many hosting engagements to allow his phone battery to die.

Automotive Rhythms periodically stopped for photos and videos of Fly Guy DC with the vehicle in popular locations. He chatted about the SUV’s comfort and driver-inspired cockpit, designed with the philosophy of perfect balance where key features are placed within reach and right where you need them. Moreover, ambient 64-color lighting provides a fully-immersive experience. For example, we swung by the AUC to discuss his time at illustrious Clark Atlanta University and how higher education is required to attain elevation in America from buying a home to purchasing your next luxury vehicle of choice, in this case, a Lexus NX. Quick and decisive, our all-wheel drive F-Sport cut through traffic like the Hawk’s Trae Young with the rock.

Fly Guy DC prides himself on positively impacting our youth, giving back to communities, and improving the life experiences of his mentees. He continuously stays active by participating in literacy programs and career days. So naturally, automotive safety is essential. The NX features LSS+ 3.0, aka Lexus Safety System Plus, the most advanced version of LSS and one of, if not the most advanced suite of standard safety features in its class. It includes a new E-Latch and Safe Exit Assist, which uses blind spot monitors to prevent occupants from opening a door if the vehicle detects another vehicle approaching too close.

Saving the best for last, we jumped on 85 South towards 2000 Convention Center Concourse for an unforgettable experience at KickChella 2022, an experiential gathering for sneaker buyers, sellers, traders, and curious minds. “Whenever I’m driving the Lexus NX my kicks have to be fly. So, of course, that’s why I’m hosting KickChella which has excited the city with a variety of fresh new styles and special editions,” stated Fly Guy DC. Yes, he was right at home in the lifestyle atmosphere.

Writing yet another chapter in the book of compact luxury SUVs, the all-new 2022 Lexus NX expands upon the legacy it has carved out in the segment and continues to win over thought leaders like Fly Guy DC. Expect an MSRP of $46,650 for the 2022 Lexus NX 350 F Sport model, and make sure to tap into the Digital Key. It lets the driver use their phone as a key without having the fob present. Keep rising people, and please go “experience amazing” at your local Atlanta Lexus dealer.

How to grow your views on YouTube Video

YouTube is a video-sharing platform. It was launched in 2005 and became the most popular video-sharing website in the world within a few years. YouTube has over 1 billion unique users per month, and over 6 billion hours of videos are watched every single day on this website. To be successful on YouTube, you must create engaging content that people want to watch repeatedly. This article will tell you how to buy youtube views.

Create Compelling Content

Creating quality content is the first step to growing your YouTube channel. You can’t just upload a video of you talking about how great and awesome you are. Nor can you upload a video of yourself teaching people how to do something they already know.

Instead, try posting videos that inform, entertain, or educate your audience. This could be anything from tutorials on how to do something useful, like building an Ikea bookshelf, or how to make a popular recipe like chocolate chip cookies. You could also make fun videos with your friends or family members that show off their talents or share funny moments from your life together. Just make sure you’re not breaking any laws or doing anything that could be considered offensive before posting it online for all the world to see!

Once you’ve created your video content, it’s time to share it with everyone! Posting videos on Facebook and Twitter is an effective way of getting your message out there; however, it’s essential not only that people see it but also that they don’t have any problems viewing it. If your video isn’t loading correctly or has poor sound/image quality, no one will want to watch it anyway!

Encourage Viewers to Subscribe

The most important thing you can do is create a video people want to watch. If you have a channel or brand, you need to make sure that your videos are good, engaging, and relevant to the audience you want to attract.

Once you’ve done that, it’s time to encourage viewers to subscribe. This is an easy way for them to get notified when new videos are posted, and it also gives them an easy way out if they don’t want to see any future content from you.

People don’t like spammy notifications from channels they don’t like, so it’s best not to be too pushy about getting people on your subscriber list at first. Just let them know that subscribing is an option if they want it later on down the road.

Create Playlists to Keep People Watching

A playlist is a series of videos that can be played automatically without user intervention. You can create playlists on YouTube by adding videos from different channels or with the same tags. The playlists will appear as a separate tab on your channel page so that viewers can access them easily.

Playlists help people discover new content on their own time and in their way. Most users don’t have time to watch all the videos on any channel; therefore, creating playlists will allow them to watch only what they want.

Promote Other Videos with End Screens and Cards

Promoting other videos on YouTube is a great way to grow your channel. You can link to your other videos, but you should consider using end screens or cards. These are two ways to promote other videos without having them take up too much screen space on your video.

An end screen is an overlay that appears when someone watches the entirety of one of your videos. The overlay shows up at the end of the video and displays a call-to-action button that links to another one of your videos. End screens can be used to promote both new and old content, so they’re a great way to get people to watch more than just one of your videos.

Cards are similar to end screens in that they appear at the end of a video, but they’re more customizable and present different options for viewers to click on. There are several types of cards available on YouTube, e.g., Playlists. These show up when someone watches the entirety of your playlists and contains links to other playlists within it or from outside sources such as SoundCloud or Spotify. They help promote related content within your channel or point viewers toward outside sources.

Add a Watermark to Your Videos

To grow your views on YouTube videos, you need to add a watermark to your videos. A watermark is a graphic placed over the top of an image or video. It can be a logo, a phrase, or any other type of graphic. Using a watermark is to lets people know who created the content. If you’re using copyrighted material in your videos, adding a watermark is essential so that other people don’t steal your work and claim it as their own. Here are some steps you can follow:

Make sure you have the right to use all of the images and videos in your videos.
Download an app like Canva or PicMonkey that allows you to create watermarks for free (or at least very cheap). Both apps allow users to upload their images or import images from Google Drive or Dropbox accounts – which means that even if you don’t have any graphics skills, you can still create professional-looking watermarks with these apps!

Promote Your Videos on Other Social Channels

Promotion is the key to growing your YouTube channel views. However, you need to know where to promote your videos and how to make them effective. Promoting your video on other social media channels is a great way to increase your views. There are several ways you can do this:

Link your YouTube channel on your Facebook page and Twitter profile. This will help people find your videos and subscribe to your channel.
Share your YouTube link on LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Google+. If you have an active audience on these networks, they may be interested in your content and think it’s worth watching.
Promote your videos on other websites by sharing them with friends or posting them on forums like Reddit or Quora. If people like what they see, they’ll watch more of your videos and subscribe to follow along with any new content you release in the future.

Wrapping Up

Ultimately, the key to get more views is consistency and quality. Too many of us are in a rush to post things as soon as they are done because we want to get instant feedback. This isn’t necessarily bad, but it can certainly hurt you in the long run. If you put out good content consistently over time, the views will eventually come-the important thing is that you won’t burn any bridges.

MARVEL × NYCC

After months of teases, SINS OF SINISTER, an all-new X-Men epic, was just announced at the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel at New York Comic Con! The crossover will begin in January’s SINS OF SINISTER #1, a giant-sized one-shot by the visionary Immortal X-Men creative team, writer Kieron Gillen and artist Lucas Werneck. After that, witness the current Krakoan era crumble and enter a new Marvel Comics age brought about by Sinister’s corrupt machinations!

Immortal X-Men, X-Men Red, and Legion of X will be washed away, transformed into three limited series: IMMORAL X-MEN, STORM & THE BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS, and NIGHTCRAWLERS! Series writers Kieron Gillen, Al Ewing, and Si Spurrier will pen their respective new titles, joined by artists Paco Medina, Patch Zircher, and Alessandro Vitti. Tackling three separate time periods, each superstar artist will draw an issue of all three titles as consecutive issues propel the Marvel Universe further and further into a dark future, dramatically escalating the stakes with each startling time jump. 10 Years… 100 Years… 1000 Years… The Powers of Essex will seek to stretch beyond the limits of time and space! All three writers will continue their current story plans after the X-Universe shattering finale one-shot, SINS OF SINISTER: DOMINION #1!

This universe-melting X-event will introduce a horrifying timeline that makes the Age of Apocalypse look like the X-Men Swimsuit Special as Mister Sinister’s repulsive plans come to fruition. Currently playing a dangerous game with the very timestream of the Marvel Universe in the pages of Immortal X-Men, Sinister’s uncontrollable lust for domination will finally be satisfied but at what cost? It’s the end of the world as we know it, but at least Sinister feels fine. For now. Can that last? Especially when we discover that he really is his own worst enemy…

Infamous for his long-term meticulous manipulating, Mister Sinister’s scheming will yield unpredictable results in an overarching saga that pays off plot threads that have been haunting fans since Jonathan Hickman’s House of X and Powers of X! Sinister has been planning all this since the beginning…and is going to have to see through to the bitter end.

In STORM & THE BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS, face the wrath of Arakko! Mars has been destroyed – and now Storm wants revenge! To get it, the New Brotherhood of Arakko will battle their way through hell to seek the greatest secret of the Sinister Age…but are they fighting to save the world — or end it? And who is the new mutant hero called IRONFIRE?

Deadly powerful mutant chimeras are spliced and diced in NIGHTCRAWLERS! Mister Sinister unleashes his private army of assassins: THE LEGION OF THE NIGHT. Meet WAGNERINE, commanding this killer-crew of brainwashed hybrids, each one a genetic mix of Nightcrawler and one other of marvel’s most murderous mutants! Mysterious forces seek to break Sinister’s control over these fatal fanatics – to turn them AGAINST HIM. But who are they? And what are their true motives…? Enter MOTHER RIGHTEOUS… and a meeting of the most powerful players in the Universe…

The leaders of mutantkind have gone bad in IMMORAL X-MEN! They said the mutants were humanity’s future. In 10 years’ time, they’re proven right. The X-Men are sworn to crush a world that adores and respects them…but Emma can take a few minutes out to crush Mister Sinister first. The Quiet Council have been at eachother’s throats since Krakoa was founded. Sinister may think he’s finally come out on top but he’ll wish he was more careful about what he wished for as his maneuvering backfires and a vicious conflict erupts with galactic-sized repercussions! Plus, the long-awaited return of a fan-favorite character from the early days of the Krakoa era—RASPUTIN!

“Sinister’s lurked around, being sinister for all the Krakoan Age. Eventually, he was going to make a play. This is it, and it’s bigger than you can imagine, stretching across 1000 years of nightmares,” Gillen explained. “Dystopic future stories are an X-Men classic. We wanted to find a new way to approach that, and give something we haven’t seen before. I think we’ve pulled it off. Sinister gets exactly what he wants, and it’s hell for everyone. Including Sinister.”

Mister Sinister’s crimes have been wicked beyond imagining and now, the entire Marvel Universe will pay!
