Sins of Sinister
2023Mr. Sinister hijacks the Quiet Council and corrupts Krakoa's resurrection protocols, inserting his DNA into every mutant brought back to life. Three interlocking timelines — set 10, 100, and 1,000 years in the future — reveal a nightmarish world where Sinister's influence has consumed mutantkind and threatens to birth a new Dominion. A brilliantly structured alternate-timeline event that doubles as a character study of Sinister's bottomless ambition.
