Javier Pina and Ann Nocenti are teaming to bring Mojo and Longshot back to the world of mutants in X-Men Legends #3 from Marvel Comics.
X-Men Legends #3 kicks off a two-part tale that takes place after 1985’s Longshot storyline, and will fill in some gaps between the original adventures and Longshot’s tenure on the X-Men.
Longshot’s adventure on Earth may be over, but before he can continue his mission, he’s pulled into Mojoworld for a multipicture deal he simply can’t refuse. And when Wolverine and Shadowcat investigate the mysterious psionic disturbance, will they be able to escape the pull of Mojoworld before things SPIRAL out of control?
“It’s been a blast to play in the Mojoverse again,” Nocenti said in a press release from Marvel Comics. “The zany world of Longshot, created with Arthur Adams back when we were both just ‘kids,’ is now being drawn by spectacular artist Javier Pina, and let’s just say it is a joyful experience to watch Javier nail these characters perfectly. Along with editors Mark Basso and Drew Baumgartner, we’re jamming away in MOLLYWOOD, Mojo’s Movie studio, where Mojo, Spiral, and Major Domo are making a genre mashup masterpiece as only Mojo can imagine, designed, of course, to mess with Longshot. The madcap crew has also gotten their hands on some X-MEN — Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, and her faithful dragon Lockheed, all dragged in to star in the film. The big question is — who will win the Mojo Award for Best Death?”
X-Men Legends #3 arrives on July 27, 2022.
