Almost predictably, Marvel seeks to duplicate Blackest Night

Comic Book Resources reports that the X-Men writing staff have cooked up their very own variation on DC's Blackest Night:

Announced at Comic-Con International in San Diego, “Necrosha” is a story that writers Craig Kyle and Chris Yost have been brewing since 2007 in the pages of “New X-Men.” The tale features the immortal psychic vampire Selene, who amasses some undead mutants for a very specific and nefarious plan. The event will crossover with the “New Mutants” and “X-Men: Legacy” titles for some corpse-tastic fun!

Just another clue to how the X-franchise is no better off today than it was over a decade ago.
