July solicits are here merry mutant lovers! The month will mark the debut of newly elected X-Men team in X-MEN #1. X-Factor looks to be getting a rest month as there is no book solicited but otherwise it’s a super full line up of 12 titles in the month. Some interesting things to note. There are several art changes on the books:
X-Corp #3 will be drawn by Valentine De Landro not Alberto Foche
Children Of The Atom #5 sees Paco Medina step in for Bernard Chang
Hellions #13 has Roge Antonio step in for series regular Stephen Segovia
X-Force #21 sees artist Robert Gill join Joshua Cassara on art duties
New Mutants #20 sees artist Alex Lins on art duties instead of Rod Reis
There is as usual a full bevy of variant cover art to follow especially with a new X-MEN #1 out but I think X-Force getting a MATIAS BERGARA variant is personally very exciting.
Any way enough rambling here they are:

THESE X-MEN ARE… FEARLESS!
The heroes of Krakoa are here to save the planet! Things might be complicated between the nation of Krakoa and the rest of the world, but to the X-MEN, things are simple — you do what’s right, you protect those who need protecting and you save the world we all share. Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Sunfire, Rogue, Wolverine, Synch and Polaris are the chosen champions of mutantkind, and they will not shrink from any battle for their home planet. Writer Gerry Duggan (MARAUDERS, DEADPOOL, UNCANNY AVENGERS) reteams with superstar artist Pepe Larraz (HOUSE OF X, X OF SWORDS, UNCANNY AVENGERS) to chart the course of the X-Men in a world of the Reign of X!
