Gail Simone and David Marquez bring their take to the X-Men in August’s Uncanny X-Men #1. Check out this early preview of the issue from Marvel Comics.
In today’s world, mutants need the X-Men more than ever. With Professor X gone, Rogue reluctantly finds herself as the X-Man designated to keep the team together. Rogue, Wolverine, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee forge a new home in a New Orleans, and when four mysterious young mutants show up at their doorstep, that home becomes a haven. Protecting mutants from a world that hates and fears them, and using their powers to ensure there’s a future worth living in. They are the Uncanny X-Men!
“The shadows of the giants who have worked on this book are all over the landscape, and it gets a little emotional to think about,” Simone shared in a press release from Marvel Comics. “Everyone has an X-Man they feel speaks to them directly. There’s no other franchise like it in comics. It’s an honor and a thrill and a panic, all at once. My first idea was, I want to lay out a welcome mat for all readers: new, returning and lifelong. They deserve the best mutant stories I can give them. I want to focus on the humanity, no pun intended. Big action, big personalities.”
Uncanny X-Men #1 arrives on August 7, 2024.
