This April, Storm, Rogue, Jubilee, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Grey, Rogue & Psylocke redefine what it means to be a Child of the Arom in X-Men #1, kicking off the all-new ongoing series by the blockbuster creative team of writer Brian Wood (Ultimate Comics X-Men) and artist Oliver Coipel (Avengers VS. X-Men)! As part ofMarvel NOW!, X-Men joins a number of titles that will take the Marvel Universe in an exciting all-new direction, as the industry’s top creators join the top Super Heroes to deliver all-new ongoing series, great for new and lapsed readers alike!
An old enemy shows up at the X-Men’s door, seeking asylum from an ancient evil come back to Earth. Meanwhile, Jubilee has come home, and she’s brought with her an orphaned baby who might hold the key to the Earth’s survival…or its destruction! With an imminent alien invasion and an eons-spanning war between brother and sister around the corner, Storm steps up and puts together a team to protect the child and stop a new threat that could destroy all life in the Marvel Universe!
"This April, double X marks the spot,"said Axel Alonso, Editor In Chief, Marvel Entertainment."The most popular and powerful female mutants will band together to form a team that's much more than the sum of its parts, battling for stakes that couldn't be higher. It's a mind-bending, heart-pumping, thought-provoking saga that only Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel could tell."
Marvel NOW!is the culmination ofMarvel ReEvolution, the groundbreaking new initiative to evolve the comic book experience through innovation. WithX-Men, Marvel NOW! ensures fans will discover an entirely new perspective in the adventures of a brand new team.
“How perfect is this? A phenomenal cast of iconic women, powerful, beautiful, multi-faceted characters... this is the X-Men to me, and I'm writing a series to match,” said writer Brian Wood. “ This is an action comic with classic villains like Mark 1 Sentinels, as well as new twists on others (Sublime has a sister?). I love the X-Men - I have since my time on Generation X twelve years ago - and this is kind of as good as it gets for me. And if I do my job right, it'll be the same for X-Men fans. And wait 'till the last page of #1, when ****** ********* shows up.”
Each issue ofX-Men includes a code for a free digital copy on the Marvel Comics app (for iPhone®, iPad®, iPad Touch® & Android devices).
