Marvel has unveiled yet another new number one spinning out of the events of Secret Wars – the Extraordinary X-Men #1!
EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN #1
Written by JEFF LEMIRE
Art & Cover by HUMBERTO RAMOS
Coming Fall 2015!
Eight months have passed. The X-Men are in dire straits. A cataclysmic event that has altered the destinies of both Mutant and Inhuman. Many of the X-Men have gone missing – including their wayward leader Scott Summers. It will take the remaining X-Men to forge mutantkind into something stronger. Something…extraordinary! Now – Storm, Colossus, Magik, Nightcrawler, Iceman, Jean Grey and Old Man Logan will lead mutantkind headfirst into tomorrow.
I’m excited about seeing more Humberto Ramos art – especailly his crazy take on Wolverine (now Old Man Logan), and it seems like writer Jeff Lemire is pretty pumped too.
“The chance to write the flagship X-Men book is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” says Lemire in an upcoming interview with Marvel.com. “It’s both exhilarating and somewhat intimidating. The X-Men have a staggering legacy and an extremely devoted fan base, so this is not an assignment I am taking lightly. I’ve poured everything I have into making this book something special. I don’t want to write just another X-Men run. I want the work Humberto and I do to stand up with the truly great X-Men runs. ”
Extraordinary X-Men #1 arrives this fall (September/October).

OLD MAN LOGAN GETS JEAN!!! YES! YES! YES! One for the grouchy old men of the world!
Well, so much for that ridiculous conspiracy theory that Marvel was using the Secret Wars to get rid of the X-Men…
