Marvel revealed an upcoming variant cover for the debut issue of Peach Momoko’s Ultimate X-Men. Illustrated by mainstay X-cover artist Mark Brooks, the variant depicts the two leads of the series Hisako Ichiki, AKA Armor, along with Maystorm, a new character inspired by Storm. Along with the cover, a few additional details were confirmed in the press release, including a new trailer set to debut later this week.
Peach Momoko discussed her journey with the Ultimate Universe thus far in AiPT Comics in last week’s X-Men Monday column, stating:
“At first, I was worried about being chosen for such an important project, but the more I draw and write the series, the more confident I am with my own vision of ULTIMATE X-MEN. ULTIMATE X-MEN isn’t directly influenced by classic X-Men stories. I like to believe C.B. [Cebulski] and Jonathan Hickman chose me because they wanted something completely new and different.”
Marvel also revealed a more detailed synopsis for the series in the press release, which can be read below.
Armor is a teenage girl who just wants to live a normal life – go to school, hang out with her friends, ignore the political strife broiling over after the events of ULTIMATE INVASION – but life has other plans for her. In Japan, urban legends have sprung to life and brought some unusual new powers with them…
