The future of mutantkind has arrived, and the best place to find out about it might just be San Diego Comic-Con. Saturday afternoon sees Marvel Comics’ X-Men: From the Ashes panel, which boasts a significant number of writers attached to the new era of X-Men comics spilling the beans about what fans should expect across the next few months — and years — when it comes to where Charles Xavier’s dream goes after the fall of Krakoa.

In a panel led by Marvel editor-in-chief CB Cebulski and executive editor (and current X-Men line boss) Tom Brevoort, writers Gail Simone (Uncanny X-Men), Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing (NYX), Mark Russell (X-Factor), and Declan Shalvey (Mystique) will be talking about From the Ashes as a whole, and what they’re planning in their individual series, as well as making some announcements that any self-respective X-fan won’t want to miss.

Of course, not everyone will be able to make it to Room 6A, but never fear: like some pop culture Cerebro, we’ll be sharing everything that happens during the panel live and direct from the San Diego Convention Center as it happens with our special play-by-play below. Just bookmark this panel and come back on Saturday, July 27 at 3pm Pacific (6pm Eastern) to follow along live.
