Writer Gail Simone and artist David Marquez just concluded the first arc of their acclaimed new run of UNCANNY X-MEN, which introduced readers to four new mutants: CALICO, DEATHDREAM, JITTER, and RANSOM.

Dubbed the Outliers, these fresh X-Men trainees join Rogue’s X-Men team at their new home in New Orleans. Readers can learn more about the Outliers in tomorrow’s UNCANNY X-MEN #6, where the four will bond over the struggles they face at a regular school, setting the stage for their key role in the upcoming RAID ON GRAYMALKIN crossover! Future issues of UNCANNY X-MEN will dive deeper into their origins, reveal the full potential of their mutant gifts, and unravel new mysteries, including the fact that one of them is prophesied to be the Endling, the last member of mutantkind.
