We learned a little bit about the upcoming X-Factor series by Mark Russell and Bob Quinn earlier this week, and today we cast our gaze on the newly announced variant covers from Marvel Comics.
In addition to Havok, Angel, Pyro, Frenzy, and Feral, the new variant covers also reveal two more recruits: reliable X-Man Dr. Cecilia Reyes and Xyber, a new character whose electronic-based powers are essential to the team’s covert missions. Whether they join for fame, money, or to truly make a difference, they’ll band together against emerging mutant factions like the Mutant Underground and X-Term. But mutants know better than anyone to be wary of political machinations, and their loyalty will be tested right off the bat when they find themselves on opposite sides of former friends…
FAME, FORTUNE, MUTANTS! From the ashes of Krakoa, a new mutant arms race sweeps the globe! International governments are building their own mutant armies. But only America’s X-Factor has the most powerful, most patriotic, most marketable mutant heroes to stem the tide and make the world safe for democracy! Join them as they go from one death-defying mission to another. Who will die? Who will fall in love? Who will be the first to sell out?
Providing the variant covers for issue #1 are Marcus To, Mahmud Asrar, and Luciano Vecchio.
X-Factor #1 arrives on August 14, 2024.
