X-Men Editor Explains Why Marvel Is Hiding Bonus Scenes Behind QR Codes
In simpler terms, Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman’s X-Men #1 initiated the X-Men’s From the Ashes era with a fresh X-Men squad and mysterious new villains called 3K. These enemies were not unveiled within the comic itself but in a Marvel post-credits scene that resembled a comic book format. In Alaska, Cyclops, Psylocke, Kid Omega, Temper, Magik, and Juggernaut clashed with a team of mutants created by Orchis. As a surprise addition, readers were directed to a bonus scene through a scannable QR code located in the comic, which could be accessed online on the Marvel website.
