Per Marvel, the publisher will present Koblish’s connecting cover on four X-Men issues as a wraparound cover, beginning with X-Men #35, the 700th issue of Uncanny X-Men, which arrives in June. The cover will then grace the inaugural issues of the three From the Ashes flagship titles, Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman’s X-Men #1, Gail Simone and David Marquez’s Uncanny X-Men #1, and Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero’s Exceptional X-Men #1.
Marvel Quietly Changed Racist X-Men Codename
In Hellions #2, Marvel quietly changed the deeply problematic codename of a longtime X-Men adversary turned unwilling hero.
X-Men #35 (Legacy #700)
- Written by GERRY DUGGAN, KIERON GILLEN, AL EWING, CHRIS CLAREMONT and GAIL SIMONE
- Art by PHIL NOTO, JOSHUA CASSARA, LUCAS WERNECK, JEROME OPEÑA, STEFANO CASELLI, WALTER SIMONSON, LEINIL FRANCIS YU
- Wraparound Cover by PEPE LARRAZ
- Wraparound Connecting Variant Cover by SCOTT KOBLISH
Marvel’s new connecting cover Showcases the legendary mutants’ 60-year publication history, including the core X-Men series, spinoffs, and limited series. The cover spotlights A-List X-Men, obscure mutants, supervillains, allies, superhero guest stars, and many more characters.
Cyclops Leads the X-Men Into a New Era
Marvel recently disclosed more details regarding the upcoming X-Men book, which arrives on July 10 and positions Cyclops as the leader of a revolutionary new X-Men team in MacKay and Stegman’s X-Men #1. Cyclops’ new Alaskan-based team will include Beast, Magneto, Psylocke, Magik, Kid Omega, Juggernaut, and Temper, formerly Oya. Cyclops will take a different approach to mutant-human relations after the fall of Krakoa and Orchis, the evil anti-mutant organization.
The X-Men’s New Mission Could Bring Back Everyone
The remaining mutant heroes in the Marvel Universe are on a mission to bring back every single member of the X-Men who died at the hands of Orchis.
With the fall of Krakoa, Cyclops puts together a team of the most powerful X-Men to protect mutants in an uncertain age. The team deals with mutant-centric threats that besiege fellow mutants now spread across the planet without the stability of Krakoa’s protection. Essentially, the team is a deterrent powerful enough to ensure that while humans may hate mutants, moving against them would be an unwise choice.
X-Men #1‘s writer MacKay is excited to bring the iconic team back into the world, “Taking on the X-Men is always a daunting prospect, but I’m extremely psyched to take this team of mutants back into the world with Ryan,” he said. Series artist Stegman added, “When I first got into comics, drawing X-Men was the job you wanted as an artist. To have the opportunity now is mind-blowing.”
X-Men #35, the 700th issue of Uncanny X-Men, will arrive in comic book shops on June 5, 2024.
