A preview of Marvel’s upcoming X-Men #1 showcases the newest incarnation of the mutant team in action as they battle a deadly alien threat.
The first preview pages from X-Men #1 feature the mutant heroes’ new roster in action.
The pages were posted to Twitter by X-Men associate editor Annalise Bissa with series artist Pepe Larraz providing the illustrations. The X-Men are called into action when a mysterious alien being attacks New York City, and Polaris learns her powers have no effect on the beasts, which leads to a last-minute rescue from Rogue.
The new X-Men series spins out of the events of the Hellfire Gala and features a new team of X-Men picked by Cyclops and Jean Grey. Polaris was the final member to be selected after Marvel held a fan vote in January, while Rogue is departing her current team of Excalibur to join the roster. Rounding out the team is Laura Kinney, who is taking up the mantle of Wolverine, along with Synch and Sunfire.
“It’s my privilege and honor to be reteamed with Pepe Larraz as we throw beautiful and deadly threats at the X-Men beginning in July,” series writer Gerry Duggan said when the new X-Men roster was announced. “Mutants have saved themselves, and are now going to save the world. Krakoa will grow roots in the capitol of the world, New York City, and the inaugural year will star Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Rogue, Wolverine, Synch, Sunfire and Polaris. The threats to Earth will come fast and hit hard, and every page from Pepe and Marte will blow your hair back. See you in July.”
X-Men #1, by Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz, goes on sale July 7 from Marvel Comics.
