Inhumans vs. X-Men is a 2016 comic book storyline by Marvel Comics.
Inhumans vs. X-Men was announced in the summer of 2016. This story closes the story arcs established at the end of 2015's Secret Wars event. Prior to releasing Inhumans vs. X-Men, Marvel released the four-part bimonthly series Death of X to serve as a prequel that would lead into the events of Inhumans vs. X-Men. Issue #0 was released in November 2016, acting as a prologue for the main series and setting the stage with key characters preparing for the upcoming inevitable war. The main series with issues #1–6 began in December 2016 and ended in March 2017.
The story-line depicts the Terrigen Mist that is loose on Earth reaching its saturation point. While people across the planet have manifested powers and therefore learned of their Inhuman heritage due to the mist cloud, it's also having a bad effect on the Mutants, resulting in many mutants getting sick and dying. The X-Men are determined to stop the Terrigen Mist at its source in order to avoid extinction while the Inhumans need the Terrigen to ensure the population of their species thrives.
Beast works with Inhuman Iso to discover any potential cures to the Terrigen cloud that has been toxic to Mutants. At the same time, Emma Frost begins violently training herself to fight Black Bolt in order to avenge Cyclops. She then has meetings with Magneto, the All-New X-Men, and Storm to discuss a plan that she has. Beast soon overhears Medusa telling the rest of the Inhuman Royal Family to be prepared just in case the X-Men lose patience in their truce and attack them. He then discovers that the Terrigen cloud is becoming more saturated.
