Days of Future Past

Published in 1981 by Marvel Comics, 'Days of Future Past' is a seminal two-part storyline from 'The Uncanny X-Men' issues #141-142, written by Chris Claremont with art by John Byrne. The story is set in a dystopian future where mutants are hunted by Sentinels, and the X-Men are nearly extinct. The narrative follows the efforts of the X-Men to prevent this future by altering the past. Key characters include Wolverine, Storm, Kitty Pryde, and the villainous Brotherhood of Evil Mutants led by Mystique. The storyline is notable for its time-travel plot, where Kitty Pryde's consciousness is sent back in time to her younger body to warn the X-Men of the impending assassination of Senator Kelly, which triggers the dystopian future. 'Days of Future Past' had a significant impact on X-Men continuity, introducing the concept of alternate futures and timelines. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest X-Men stories and has influenced various adaptations, including animated series and the 2014 film 'X-Men: Days of Future Past.'
